Height adjustable support leg for furniture, especially for folding tables in motor homes and trailers

摘要

A height-adjustable support leg for furniture has an upper leg portion and a lower leg portion. A pivot is provided for pivotably connecting the upper and lower leg portions. The lower leg portion is pivotable from a horizontal position, in which the lower leg portion rests on the floor, into a stretched position of the support leg in which the lower leg portion is aligned with the upper leg portion. A latching mechanism for securing the lower leg portion in the stretched position against pivoting is provided. The latching mechanism has at least one latch-shaped release element that is automatically moved into a latching position upon pivoting the lower leg portion from the horizontal position into the stretched position. The lower leg portion is non-slidably connected to the pivot.
