Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1374725A1] The leg (2) is assembled of a horizontal stand (4), an outer bar (6), an inner bar (8) and a gas pressurized spring (24) fixed between them and accommodated inside the inner bar (8). A flat longitudinal element (14) is accommodated inside the outer bar (6) at a short distance from its inner surface, facilitating the insertion of the inner bar (8) between the inner surface of the outer bar (6) and the flat element (14). The spring (24) is stationary joined to a horizontal bolt (28) located at the top of the flat element (14) and hung with a hook (24b) to a plate (26) fixed inside the lower end of the inner bar (8), facilitating an axial motion of the spring (24) within the set limits. When a locking screw (22) guided through both of the bars (6, 8) and the flat element (14) is loosened, the tabletop is lifted by the forces of the spring (24) and can be adjusted by tightening the screw (22) at the appropriate height.
