Abstract

Telescopable column, in particular for items of furniture, such as desks, comprising: at least two telescopic elements which can be displaced axially in one another in a telescope-like manner, and a sliding support between the at least two telescopic elements, wherein the sliding support comprises support bodies only in the region of a longitudinal end of an inner one of the two telescopic elements, the support bodies in each case having an abutment zone which forms a sliding surface and having an opposite abutment zone for fastening to the telescopic element, and being fastened to the outer side of the inner telescopic element without tools, and desk having same.

1 . A telescopable column for items of furniture, such as desks, comprising:
 at least two telescopic elements which can be displaced axially in one another in a telescope-like manner; and   a sliding support between the at least two telescopic elements, wherein said sliding support comprises support bodies only in the region of a longitudinal end of an inner one of the at least two said telescopic elements, said support bodies in each case having an abutment zone which forms a sliding surface and having an opposite abutment zone for fastening to said telescopic element, and being fastened to an outer side of said inner one of said telescopic element without tools.   
     
     
         2 . The telescopable column of  claim 1 , wherein the outer said telescopic element, on the inner side thereof, has at least one guide groove which extends in the longitudinal direction of said telescopic element, and said sliding surface of said support bodies has a corresponding lug or guide rib which is designed to slide in said guide groove. 
     
     
         3 . The telescopable column of  claim 1 , wherein the main extent of said sliding surface runs in the longitudinal direction of the inner said telescopic element. 
     
     
         4 . The telescopable column of  claim 1 , wherein the main extent of said sliding surface runs transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the inner said telescopic element. 
     
     
         5 . The telescopable column of  claim 1 , wherein the inner said telescopic element has at least one latching opening and said support bodies have at least one corresponding latching element on said abutment zone for fastening to said telescopic element. 
     
     
         6 . The telescopable column of  claim 2 , wherein said sliding surface has at least one sliding rib parallel to said guide rib, and said sliding rib has a lower height than said guide rib. 
     
     
         7 . The telescopable column of  claim 1 , wherein at least three of said support bodies are arranged in one plane in a circumferential manner on said outer side of the inner said telescopic element. 
     
     
         8 . The telescopable column of  claim 1 , wherein said support bodies are arranged in at least two axially offset planes on said outer side of the inner said telescopic element. 
     
     
         9 . The telescopable column of  claim 8 , wherein at least one said support body in one plane is offset in the circumferential direction with respect to at least one said support body in another plane. 
     
     
         10 . The telescopable column of  claim 1 , wherein said support bodies are composed of plastic or contain plastic. 
     
     
         11 . A desk comprising:
 at least one telescopable column that further comprises:
 at least two telescopic elements which can be displaced axially in one another in a telescope-like manner; and 
 a sliding support between the at least two said telescopic elements, wherein said sliding support comprises support bodies only in the region of a longitudinal end of an inner one of the at least two said telescopic elements, said support bodies in each case having an abutment zone which forms a sliding surface and having an opposite abutment zone for fastening to said telescopic element, and being fastened to an outer side of said inner one of said telescopic element without tools. 
   
     
     
         12 . The desk of  claim 11 , wherein the outer said telescopic element, on the inner side thereof, has at least one guide groove which extends in the longitudinal direction of said telescopic element, and said sliding surface of said support bodies has a corresponding lug or guide rib which is designed to slide in said guide groove. 
     
     
         13 . The desk of  claim 11 , wherein the main extent of said sliding surface runs in the longitudinal direction of the inner said telescopic element. 
     
     
         14 . The desk of  claim 11 , wherein the main extent of said sliding surface runs transversely with respect to the longitudinal direction of the inner said telescopic element. 
     
     
         15 . The desk of  claim 11 , wherein the inner said telescopic element has at least one latching opening, and said support bodies have at least one corresponding latching element on said abutment zone for fastening to said telescopic element. 
     
     
         16 . The desk of  claim 12 , wherein said sliding surface has at least one sliding rib parallel to said guide rib, and said sliding rib has a lower height than said guide rib. 
     
     
         17 . The desk of  claim 11 , wherein at least three of said support bodies are arranged in one plane in a circumferential manner on said outer side of the inner said telescopic element. 
     
     
         18 . The desk of  claim 11 , wherein said support bodies are arranged in at least two axially offset planes on said outer side of the inner said telescopic element. 
     
     
         19 . The desk of  claim 18 , wherein at least one said support body in one plane is offset in the circumferential direction with respect to at least one said support body in another plane. 
     
     
         20 . The desk of  claim 11 , wherein said support bodies are composed of plastic or contain plastic.
