Furniture item with a vertically adjustable leg
The present disclosure relates to an item of furniture, in particular a table, having at least one length-adjustable leg. The length-adjustable leg includes a first telescopic element which is realized as a hollow body, as well as a second telescopic element which is mounted inside the first telescopic element so as to linearly displaceable along a first axis. A locking device which is arranged on the second telescopic element comprises at least one first pin which is movable using an actuating device from a first position, in which the at least one first pin prevents the movement of the first telescopic element relative to the second telescopic element as a result of a force-fitting connection or form-fitting connection, into a second position in which the displacement is not prevented. In addition, the locking device has at least one second pin which is movable by the actuating device from a first state, where the at least one second pin is pressed against an inside surface of a wall of the first telescopic element in order to brace the second telescopic element in relation to the first telescopic element, and a second state where the at least one second pin is at a spacing from the wall of the first telescopic element.
1. A furniture item having at least one length-adjustable leg, wherein the length-adjustable leg includes the following:
a) a first telescopic element which is realized as a hollow body,
b) a second telescopic element which is mounted inside the first telescopic element so as to linearly displaceable along a first axis,
c) a locking device which is arranged on the second telescopic element and comprises a first pin which is movable using an actuating device from a first position, in which the first pin prevents the movement of the first telescopic element relative to the second telescopic element as a result of a force-fitting connection or form-fitting connection between said first pin and said first telescopic element, into a second position in which the displacement is not prevented,
wherein
the locking device has at least one second pin which is movable by the actuating device from a first state, where the second pin is pressed against an inside surface of a wall of the first telescopic element in order to brace the second telescopic element in relation to the first telescopic element, and a second state where the second pin is at a spacing from the wall of the first telescopic element.
2. The furniture item according to claim 1 , wherein the first pin is mounted in the locking device in such a manner that it is movable along a second axis which is at right angles to the first axis, wherein a movement of the actuating device in opposition to a first resetting force into a first direction along the first axis from a locked position into an unlocked position is converted using a first sliding block into a movement of the first pin along the second axis from the first position to the second position.
3. The furniture item according to claim 1 , wherein the second pin is mounted in the locking device in such a manner that that it is movable along a third axis which is at right angles to the first axis, wherein a movement of the actuating device in opposition to a second resetting force, which acts on the second pin, from the locked position into the unlocked position is converted using a second sliding block into a movement of the second pin along the third axis from the first state to the second state.
4. The furniture item according to claim 3 , wherein the second sliding block is realized as a second groove which is inserted in a second plate which is movable in a linear manner along the first axis, in which groove is guided a second journal which is arranged on the second pin.
5. The furniture item according to claim 4 , wherein the second sliding block is present as a curve, wherein the curve is developed in such a manner that when the second pin moves from the second state into the first state, the curve initially comprises a greater gradient in a first region than in a subsequent second region.
6. The furniture item according to claim 4 , wherein the actuating device has a second driver which, when the actuating device moves from the locked position into the unlocked position, abuts against a second stop surface of the second plate.
7. The furniture item according to claim 1 , wherein the locking device is arranged inside the second telescopic element, and wherein in a wall of the second telescopic element at least one opening is provided through which the second pin can move.
8. The furniture item according to claim 1 , wherein the actuating device is realized as a Bowden cable.
9. The furniture item according to claim 1 , wherein at least one sliding bearing, which interacts with a wall on the outside surface of the second telescopic element, is arranged in a region of a first end of the first telescopic element on the inside surface of the wall.
10. The furniture item according to claim 1 , wherein the second telescopic element comprises on a second end at least one rolling bearing which interacts with the inside surface of the wall of the first telescopic element.
11. The furniture item according to claim 1 , wherein at least one arm, which extends from a second end to the first end of the first telescopic element, is arranged inside the first telescopic element, wherein the first pin interacts in a force-fitting or form-fitting manner with the arm in the first state.
12. The furniture item according to 2 , wherein the second pin is mounted in the locking device in such a manner that that it is movable along a third axis which is at right angles to the first axis, wherein a movement of the actuating device in opposition to a second resetting force, which acts on the second pin, from the locked position into the unlocked position is converted using a second sliding block into a movement of the second pin along the third axis from the first state to the second state, and the third axis is at right angles to the second axis.
