Height adjustable table

Abstract

The described table relates generally to a height adjustable table and specifically to a table with legs that are adjustable in length, and as well to the adjustable table legs themselves. The described table relates to a height adjustable table comprising a horizontal component supported by a plurality of telescoping legs, the legs each comprising an outer tube connected to the horizontal component and an inner tube having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is moveably engaged within said outer tube, and the outer tube comprises an opening comprised of a substantially longitudinal channel with a plurality of pockets extending out from said channel, and the inner tube comprises a pin extending into said opening. The described table also relates to the adjustable legs and the use of the table.

1 . A height adjustable table comprising a horizontal component supported by a plurality of telescoping legs,
 said legs each comprising an outer tube connected to said horizontal component and an inner tube having a first end and a second end, wherein said first end is moveably engaged within said outer tube, and   said outer tube comprises an opening comprised of a substantially longitudinal channel with a plurality of pockets extending out from said channel, the pockets extending upwardly with respect to the second end, and   said inner tube comprises a pin extending into said opening;   wherein each pocket is mushroom-shaped for receiving and retaining the pin.   
     
     
         2 .- 3 . (canceled) 
     
     
         4 . The table of  claim 1 , in which there are four legs. 
     
     
         5 . The table of  claim 1 , in which said outer tube additionally comprises one or more bearings. 
     
     
         6 . The table of  claim 1 , in which said pin is a shoulder bolt. 
     
     
         7 . The table of  claim 1 , in which said second end of said inner tube additionally comprises an extension bolt. 
     
     
         8 . The table of  claim 1 , in which said pin is located near said first end of said inner tube. 
     
     
         9 . The table of  claim 1 , in which said pockets are labeled with corresponding labels on each leg. 
     
     
         10 . The table of  claim 1 , in which said pockets are profiled to closely hold said pin. 
     
     
         11 . (canceled) 
     
     
         12 . A height adjustable table comprising a horizontal component supported by four telescoping legs,
 said legs each comprising an outer tube attached to said horizontal component and an inner tube having a second end, wherein said first end is moveably engaged within said outer tube, and   said outer tube comprises an opening comprised of a substantially longitudinal channel with a plurality of mushroom shaped pockets extending sideways out from said channel at an upward angle, and   said inner tube near said first end additionally comprises a shoulder bolt extending into said opening.   
     
     
         13 . The use of the table of  claim 1 , whereby in a resting position said horizontal component maintains said pin within one of said pockets, and raising said horizontal component causes said pin to slide down in said one of said pockets and enables said pin to be moved into the channel and into another pocket. 
     
     
         14 . The use of the table of  claim 12 , whereby in a resting position said horizontal component maintains said pin within one of said pockets, and raising said horizontal component causes said pin to slide down in said one of said pockets and enables said pin to be moved into the channel and into another pocket. 
     
     
         15 . A height adjustable table leg comprising an outer tube and an inner tube having a first end and a second end, wherein said first end is moveably engaged within said outer tube, and said outer tube comprises an opening comprised of a substantially longitudinal channel with a plurality of pockets extending out from said channel, and said inner tube comprises a pin extending into said opening. 
     
     
         16 . The leg of  claim 15 , in which said pockets are additionally angled upwardly. 
     
     
         17 . The leg of  claim 15 , in which said pockets are additionally mushroom-shaped and angled upwardly. 
     
     
         18 . The leg of  claim 15 , in which said pockets are additionally mushroom-shaped and angled upwardly and said pin is a shoulder bolt. 
     
     
         19 . A height adjustable table leg comprising an outer tube and an inner tube having a first end and a second end, wherein said first end is moveably engaged within said outer tube which comprises one or more bearings in engagement with said inner tube, and said outer tube additionally comprises an opening comprised of a substantially longitudinal channel with a plurality of mushroom shaped pockets extending sideways out from said channel at an upward angle, and said inner tube comprises a pin extending into said opening. 
     
     
         20 . The leg of  claim 19 , in which said pin is a shoulder bolt. 
     
     
         21 . The leg of  claim 19 , in which said second end of said inner tube additionally comprises an extension bolt. 
     
     
         22 . The leg of  claim 19 , in which said pin is located near said first end of said inner tube. 
     
     
         23 . The leg of  claim 19 , in which said pockets are labeled with corresponding labels on each leg.
