Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0405157A2] A height-adjustable leg (3) for items of furniture or similar has a bottom part (5) and a top part (6). One of these parts forms an inner wall (8) with a row (9) of adjustment holes while the other part has an adjacent outer wall (7) with at least one fixing hole (10). In order to hold the top part (6) in its position of height, there is a fixing device with at least one insertion member (11) which can be inserted through the assigned fixing hole (10) and the relevant adjustment hole (9). The fixing device forms a contact surface (12) which comes to rest on the outside of the outer wall (7), and the insertion member (11) comprises a hooking projection (15), projecting in the longitudinal direction of the leg, with a sloping surface (14) facing the contact surface (12). In the position of use, in which the insertion member (11) is seated on the bottom part (5) and the top part (6) is seated on the insertion member (11), the hooking projection (15) grips behind the edge region of the adjustment hole (9) and, with its sloping surface (14), holds the inner wall (8) against the outer wall (7) supported on the contact surface (12). <IMAGE>
