Extendible leg assembly and retaining system
The present disclosure could generally provide a system for use with a furniture or desk assembly having an extendible leg assembly and retaining system. In one embodiment, the system could be easily and safely adjustable, while maintaining a particular height and overall structural integrity of a furniture or desk system to, for example, withstand considerable weight and pressure exerted thereto.
1. An extendible leg assembly comprising:
a first leg portion having a first end coupled to a mounting plate;
a second leg portion having a plurality of vertical holes and configured to coaxially dispose within a portion of the first leg portion through a second end of the first leg portion; and
a collar removably affixed to the second leg portion and having a lip structure disposed on a proximal end of the collar and a plurality of protrusions vertically disposed on an interior surface of the collar to engage with the plurality of vertical holes,
wherein when the assembly is in a fully engaged position, the lip abuts against an edge of the second end of the first leg portion to lock the assembly; and
wherein the collar comprises a first collar portion and a second collar portion removably coupled to each other.
2. An extendible leg assembly comprising:
a first leg portion;
a collar removably affixed to a second leg portion and comprising a lip disposed on a proximal end of the collar, a second end having a tapered edge disposed on a distal end of the collar, and a plurality of protrusions vertically disposed on an interior surface of the collar;
the second leg portion having a plurality of vertical holes and configured to coaxially dispose within at least a portion of an open end of the first leg portion; and
the first leg portion having a second end coupled to a mounting plate;
wherein at least one of the plurality of protrusions engages with at least one of the plurality of vertical holes;
wherein when the assembly is in a fully engaged position, the lip abuts against an edge of the open end of the first leg portion to lock the assembly; and
wherein the removable collar comprises a first collar portion and a second collar portion removably coupled to each other.
3. An extendible leg assembly comprising:
a first leg portion;
a collar removably affixed to a second leg portion and comprising a lip disposed on a proximal end of the collar, a second end having a tapered edge disposed on a distal end of the collar, and a plurality of protrusions vertically disposed on an interior surface of the collar, wherein the collar comprises a first collar portion and a second collar portion removably coupled to each other; and
the second leg portion having an elongated hollow body, a rounded rectangular shaped cross-section having longer sides that are outwardly curved, and a plurality of vertical holes, the second leg portion configured to coaxially dispose within an open end of the first leg portion;
wherein at least one of the plurality of protrusions engages with at least one of the plurality of vertical holes; and
wherein when the assembly is in a fully engaged position, the lip abuts against an edge of the open end of the first leg portion to lock the assembly.
4. The assembly of claim 3 , wherein the plurality of vertical holes and the plurality of protrusions are selectively coupled together to maintain a particular length of the extendible leg assembly.
