Abstract

A table frame (2) for a height-adjustable table (1) has: two telescopic columns (4, 4′) each having an outer column (5, 5′), an inner column (6, 6′) which can be axially displaced with respect to the outer column (5, 5′), and a drive device (7, 7′) which is arranged within the inner column (6, 6′), wherein the drive device (7, 7′) has a first drive component (9) which is attached to the inner column (6, 6′), and a second drive component (10) which is attached to the outer column (5, 5′). The table frame (2) has a band-type synchronization device (13) which is connected at one end to the outer column (5′) of the second telescopic column (4′), wherein a relative displacement between the inner column (6) and the outer column (5) of the first telescopic column (4) results in a synchronous relative displacement between the inner column (6′) and the outer column (5′) of the second telescopic column (4′) by means of the synchronization device (13). The synchronization device (13) is connected at the other end to the second drive component (10) of the drive device (7) of the first telescopic column (4).
