Description

Adjustable leg

Object of the invention

The invention, as expressed in the statement of This specification refers to an adjustable leg, which brings innovative features, which will be described in detail below, which are a novel alternative to what is already known in this field.

More specifically, the object of the invention is focuses on height-adjustable legs, of the type intended, together with others, to allow proper positioning of a piece of furniture, overcoming any unevenness that may occur the soil on which it rests, being particularly applicable for bed bases or beds that have low height, that is, for beds chest type where the height of the legs is very limited.

Background of the invention

Currently and as a reference to the state of the technique, it should be mentioned that the use of adjustable feet of the type concerned here, however, by part of the petitioner is unknown the existence of any of they that present technical, structural and similar configuration, to those presented here advocates

In this regard, it should be noted that the legs adjustable usually have means of regulation constituted by threading systems However, when the legs, because of the particularities of the furniture, are very short, these systems are difficult to manipulate the object of the invention being to create a type of adjustable leg whose graduation system simplifies its handling, so that its low height is not an inconvenience for it.

Explanation of the invention.

Thus, the adjustable leg that presents proposed invention is configured as a remarkable novelty within of its field of application, since, according to its creation, achieves, in a taxable way, the aforementioned objectives as suitable, being the characterizing details that the distinguish and make it possible, properly collected in the Final claims that accompany this report descriptive

Specifically, the leg that is recommended consists essentially three pieces, a top washer, which is optional in its use, a cylindrical body, constituent of the leg itself, and a support base, which couple each other as follows:

The threaded screw provided vertically from the top cylindrical body is inserted into the structure of the bed through the washer that will support the tightening load This washer is not mandatory for inclusion, since which is used primarily on upholstered bases so that when tightened Do not drag the fabric.

By its lower base, said body has a perimeter groove suitable for receiving the perimeter wall of the forming part of the support base, which presents the particularity of being endowed with a series of steps, arranged in decreasing groups of several identical holes, suitable  to fit into respective partitions arranged radially in the inside of said groove of the leg body.

It should be noted that, logically, there will be the same number of partitions than groups of staggered holes, being preferably four, counting each of said gaps with some dimensions suitable for the edge of the partitions to fit pressure on them fixing the support base to the leg body.

To regulate the furniture, simply rotate the piece of support of each leg until the partitions are inserted in the holes that correspond to maintain its horizontality, existing as many possible positions as holes have been planned per group.

The new adjustable leg represents, by consequently, an innovative structure of features structural and constitutive unknown so far for such end, reasons that together with its practical utility, endow it with sufficient basis to obtain the privilege of exclusivity that is requested.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, is attached herein descriptive, as an integral part of it, of a game of planes, in which with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, represented the following:

Figure number 1.- Shows a view in perspective and exploded view of the pieces that make up the leg adjustable object of the invention, the parts being appreciated therein and elements that comprise, as well as the configuration and layout from the same.

Figure number 2.- Shows a view in plant of the lower part of the body of the leg object of the invention, appreciating in it the slot that counts for the insertion of the support base piece.

Figure number 3.- Shows a view in perspective of the mounted leg, appreciating its appearance Exterior.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the aforementioned figures, and of according to the numbering adopted, you can see in them a preferred embodiment of the invention, which includes the parts and elements that are indicated and described in detail below.

Thus, as can be seen in these figures, the leg (1) in question, is essentially constituted by a washer (2), equipped with its corresponding central hole (3), a slightly cylindrical cylindrical body (4) and constituent of the leg itself, and a piece (5) that forms the basis of leg assembly support (1). This washer (2) is not mandatory use, since it is used above all, when joining it in bases upholstered, preventing the fabric of said base from being dragged upholstered

The cylindrical body (4), in its upper base (4a), has a threaded rod (6) that flows vertically from its center, which is intended to be inserted in the hole (3) of the washer (2) and in the hole that for this purpose there will be provided in the structure of the bed or furniture to which the leg (1).

By its lower base (4b), said body cylindrical (4) has a perimeter groove (7), determined by the central circular surface (8), inside of which several partitions (9) are provided, which are arranged radially and, preferably, in number of four.

It should be noted that internally, the body cylindrical (4) has a series of radial ribs (10) of reinforcement, which are arranged in coincidence with the cited partitions (9).

For its part, the support base (5), is a circular and flat base piece (11), of dimensions in accordance with the dimensions of the lower base (4b) of the body (4), with a perimeter wall (12) on whose upper edge there is a series of holes (13) arranged in identical staggered groups (14) and equidistant, said groups being as many as partitions Transversal (9) is provided on the body (4).

Each of the aforementioned gaps (13) presents, at in turn, a configuration and dimensions suitable for receiving tightly the edge of said partitions (9), so that these fit in those under pressure.

Thus, depending on the gap (13) or so elevated in which the partitions (9) are coupled, the support base (5) will be more or less separated from the cylindrical body (4) forming of the leg (1) regulating the height of the furniture, which can be vary by turning the base piece (5) so that the partitions (9) are attach to others of the holes (13) provided in your wall perimeter (12) located adjacently higher or lower.

Describe sufficiently the nature of the present invention, as well as the way of putting it into practice, not it is considered necessary to extend its explanation so that any subject matter expert understands its scope and advantages that derive from it, stating that, within its essentiality, may be implemented in other forms of embodiment that differ in detail from that indicated by way of example, and which will also achieve the protection that collects as long as it does not alter, change or modify its principle fundamental.
