Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0743033A1] The support foot for the furniture leg (1) has an outer thread (5) which is threaded into the threaded ring (2) fitted to the bottom of the leg. A tensioner ring (8) between the threaded ring and a clamping ring (6), with inner thread, controls the relative spacing of the threaded ring and the clamping ring. The tensioner ring is released to allow easy adjustment of the threaded foot and is moved into the tension position to force the threaded ring and the clamping ring to secure grip the thread, without play. The clamping ring is rotationally coupled to the threaded ring by axial tags. The tensioner ring is coupled to the threaded ring by wedge profiles which alter the relative spacing of the two ring by rotating the tensioner ring. An outer sleeve (9) covers the adjustable foot and is slid up to effect the adjustment.
