Height-adjustable table leg
A table leg includes a fixed outer tube, a movable inner tube vertically movable in the fixed outer tube and having two pairs of parallel walls, and a plurality of rotating members rotatably mounted to one pair of the parallel walls of the movable inner tube and partially protruding out from an outer surface of the movable inner tube and stopped against an inner surface of the fixed outer tube, such that the rotating members are rotatable when the movable inner tube is moved relative to the fixed outer tube.
1. A table leg comprising:
a fixed outer tube;
a movable inner tube movably inserted in the fixed outer tube and having a square cross section with two pairs of parallel walls; and
a plurality of rotating members rotatably mounted to one pair of the parallel walls of the movable inner tube and partially protruding out from an outer surface of the movable inner tube and stopped against an inner surface of the fixed outer tube, such that the rotating members are rotatable when the movable inner tube is moved relative to the fixed outer tube,
wherein each of the rotating members has a rotary shaft and two wheels disposed at two opposite ends of the rotary shaft.
2. The table leg as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the two wheels are rotatably sleeved on the two opposite ends of the rotary shaft.
3. The table leg as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the rotating members are rotatably mounted to the two pairs of the parallel walls of the movable inner tube.
4. The table leg as claimed in claim 3 , wherein each of the rotating members is received in an accommodating groove of each of the parallel walls and stopped against an outer surface of a bushing disposed in the movable inner tube; each of the accommodating grooves has a same shape as one of the rotating members.
5. The table leg as claimed in claim 4 , wherein the bushing has a plurality of openings each corresponding to one of the two wheels of the rotating members.
6. The table leg as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a gas pressure bar disposed in the movable inner tube and having a retractable rod with a distal end thereof connected to a bottom plate of the fixed outer tube.
7. The table leg as claimed in claim 1 , wherein each of the rotating members is received in an accommodating groove of each of the parallel walls and stopped against one of four plates mounted to an inner surface of the movable inner tube; each of the accommodating grooves has a same shape as one of the rotating members.
8. A table leg comprising,
a fixed outer tube;
a movable inner tube movably inserted in the fixed outer tube and having a square cross section with two pairs of parallel walls; and
a plurality of rotating members rotatably mounted to one pair of the parallel walls of the movable inner tube and partially protruding out from an outer surface of the movable inner tube and stopped against an inner surface of the fixed outer tube, such that the rotating members are rotatable when the movable inner tube is moved relative to the fixed outer tube,
wherein each of the rotating members is received in an accommodating groove of each of the parallel walls and stopped against an outer surface of a bushing disposed in the movable inner tube; each of the accommodating grooves has a same shape as one of the rotating members.
9. The table leg as claimed in claim 8 , wherein each of the rotating members is a ball or roller.
