Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a height-adjustable leg for a support surface, particularly but not exclusively for tables, desks or work stations.
  • Support surfaces are also frequently subjected to vibratory stresses, for example produced by printers or machines which include moving parts.
  • a height-adjustable leg which ensures a stable connection in all conditions of use must not, however, be detrimental to its aesthetics, which has become essential also in the field of office furniture.
  • a second type of height-adjustable leg available on the market foresees adjustment through the translation of two telescopic tubular portions of the leg.
  • the arrangement of a suitably shaped guide with stop seats for a pin takes on the height-adjustment and stop functions.
  • Plastic material has been used to make the coupled adjustment elements achieving a good compromise between stability of connection and costs linked to mechanical treatments, which are higher for metallic materials.
  • the adjustment should be able to be carried out through a small number of operations and above all without having to remove elements such as pins or the like.
  • the general purpose of the present invention is that of overcoming the aforementioned drawbacks of the prior art in an extremely simple, cost-effective and particularly functional way.
  • Another purpose is that of realising a height-adjustable leg for a support surface, suitable for realising tables, desks or work stations.
  • a height-adjustable leg for a support surface in object is wholly indicated with 10 in the illustrated example according to a first embodiment of the present invention and comprises a tubular end portion 12, for example made from metal or another material, at the base of which an expanding adjustment device 13 is applied.
  • the adjustment device 13 comprises a bush 14, capable of being inserted in the free end of the tubular portion12 of the leg, and a height-adjustable foot.
  • the bush 14 is equipped with longitudinal ribs 16 to carry out the forced connection inside the tubular portion 12 of the leg 10 which is positioned in abutment against a protruding collar 17.
  • the bush 14 and an adjustment sleeve 20, housed inside it, are also equipped with matching engagement means which in a first embodiment consists of a connection between respective threaded portions 18 and 26.
  • the threading which in the example is realised on parts made from plastic material, has rounded ridges and a long pitch.
  • the foot consists of many coaxial parts capable of moving along a vertical axis 30 including the adjustment sleeve 20 and a locking element and an expansion stem 21. These are integral with means for resting upon the floor, respectively consisting of a support ending 22 and a contour follower element 23, which enclose a return spring 24.
  • the adjustment sleeve 20 has an elastic upper portion 25, with an outer cylindrical generatrix and an inner frusto-conical generatrix, tilted with respect to a vertical axis 30 by an angle ⁇ , which combines with the stem to realise the expansion lock.
  • the elastic portion 25 consists of a wall 29, equipped with cuts 31, which extend radially from the axis 30 on an upper face 32 of the elastic portion 25, and which thus divide it into wedges.
  • the expansion stem 21 ends at the top with a frusto-conical portion 33, matching the inner surface of the elastic portion 25, in other words tilted by the same angle ⁇ with respect to the axis 30.
  • the expansion stem 21 has a tapered portion 34 which constitutes an abutment surface 35 for the ending 22.
  • the contour follower element 23 is made up of a first cylindrical portion 36, which engages stably by force-fit in the expansion stem 21, and of a second cylindrical portion 37 with a greater diameter, which realises an annular abutment surface 38.
  • the spring 24 which adjusts the relative movements between sleeve 20 and stem 21 is housed in a seat 44 located between the tapered portion 34 of the expansion stem 21 and the cylindrical wall of the ending 22.
  • the points of application of the action of the spring 24 consist of the abutment surface 38 of the contour follower 23 and an annular collar 42 of the support ending 22.
  • the support ending 22 finally has a widened base 45 which can be variously shaped according to aesthetic preferences, and which can adapt to the coupling with a covering element 46, shown in figure 7, slotted over the adjustable foot in order to hide the functional components to improve its aesthetics.
  • Figures 8 and 9 show section views of a second embodiment of the expanding adjustment device 13' connected to a tubular end portion 12 of a height-adjustable leg 10. The following description is limited to the constituent elements which are different with respect to that which has already been illustrated.
  • a bush 14', slotted over the tubular end 12 of the leg 10 and an elastic portion 25 of an adjustment sleeve 20' are equipped with matching engagement means, consisting of parallel grooves 47 and one or more parallel ribs 48.
  • a contour follower element 23' is equipped with an extension cylinder 50 coupled at the bottom through a threaded connection 49. To carry out the fine height-adjustment operations of the leg it is, indeed possible to place the extension cylinder 50 in rotation, modifying the distance of the contour follower 23' from the floor (figures 8 and 9).
  • the rapid adjustment is realised by applying an axial action in the desired direction X on the tubular portion 27 of the adjustment sleeve 20, causing its translation by one pitch at a time in the bush 14.
  • the expansion stem 21 is disengaged from the elastic portion 25 of the sleeve 20, and therefore the respective matching engagement means, which hold the sleeve in position, are not force-fitted together with high friction, constituting a loose constraint.
  • the rounded profile of the threads promotes the disengagement of crests and grooves of the threaded portions 18 and 26 which allows the progressive translation by one pitch. This is possible thanks to the presence of the cuts 31 in the wall 29, which promote its flexion in the direction of the vertical axis 30, as schematised by the arrows F.
  • the expansion of the elastic portion 25 forces the threaded portion 26 against the threaded part 18 of the bush 14, creating a friction force which stably locks the expansion adjustment device 13 in the desired position.
  • the fine adjustment is realised by intervening on the threaded portions 18 and 26 through rotation, in particular this is possible both in rest position and in working position with the leg loaded.
  • the rapid adjustment is carried out by making the parallel ribs 48 of the elastic portion 25 translate by one pitch in the parallel grooves 47 of the bush 14'.
  • the fine adjustment is carried out by rotating, through 50, the threaded connection 49 of the contour follower element 23'.
  • Figures 10-13 show two further embodiments of a height-adjustable leg for a support surface, object of the present invention, respectively indicated with 10' and 10''.
  • Figures 10 and 11 show a height-adjustable leg 10' for a support surface, equipped with a handle device 52 for applying the axial action according to the arrows X near to a support plane 11.
  • the handle 52 is connected at one or more points, for example through dowels 53, to a telescopic tubular element 54 housed inside the tubular portion 12 of the leg.
  • a free end of the element 54 engages with the elastic portion 25 of the adjustment sleeve 20 so as to allow the relative rotation, but to transfer the axial action applied on the handle 52 according to the arrows X.
  • tubular portion 12 of the leg is equipped with a longitudinal fissure 55 which allows the sliding of the dowels 53 with respect to the leg itself.
  • the fine adjustment is carried out by rotating the lower part of the foot, according to that which has already been described.
  • a further embodiment, identified with 10'', of a height-adjustable leg, object of the present invention allows both of the adjustments to be realised without bending down.
  • a tubular coating 56, bound at the bottom to the tubular portion 27 of the adjustment sleeve 20, is slotted over the tubular portion 12 of the leg.
  • the binding for example a fixed joint, must transfer both the translational action and the rotary action applied by the user in any point of the tubular coating 56 to the sleeve.
  • the friction which is created between the threads of the bush and expandable sleeve in the first embodiment of the adjustment device prevents the relative rotation following vibratory stress.
  • the expansion of the elastic portion of the sleeve advantageously allows a possible recovery of the clearance between bush and adjustment sleeve.
  • the shapes of the height-adjustable leg for a support surface, object of the present invention can be different to that which is shown as an example and not for limiting purposes in the drawings, just as the materials can also be different.
