Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a height-adjustable support structure for a worktop, in particular of an item of furniture. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a height-adjustable table having such a support structure.
  • Support structures are well known, which are suitable to support a worktop of an item of furniture, for example the worktop of a table, capable of operatively adjusting the height of the worktop from a floor on which the structure is placed, so as to adapt the height of the work to the dimensions of user who, when seated, places his/her legs under the table.
  • Support structures comprising telescopic legs capable of modifying the length thereof by means of an actuating device, at times motorized, thereby modifying the distance of the worktop from the floor.
  • a force F transversely to the table in particular to the telescopic legs, for example, to apply a force to the worktop which is parallel to the worktop.
  • This force F generates an applied torque which tends to cause the table to rotate about the aforesaid straight line passing through the ends of the base member.
  • Such a torque has intensity given by the product of the force F applied parallel to the worktop and the arm b of the force F, that is the distance of the axis of rotation of the structure, that is the aforesaid straight line, from the straight line on which F lies.
  • none of these embodiments proposes a height-adjustable support structure of a worktop, for example of a table, which simultaneously guarantees increased balance stability and increased comfort of use.
  • a height-adjustable item of furniture for example a height-adjustable table, which is stable against overturning and is simultaneously comfortable to use by leaving free the space under the worktop.
  • a height-adjustable support structure for a worktop of an item of furniture for example of a table, comprises at least one first telescopic leg having a lower end and at least one second telescopic leg having a lower end;
  • the fact of providing three different resting portions arranged at the vertexes of a triangle, in other words arranged misaligned from each other and far from each other, wherein a first arm portion rigidly connects the first resting portion with the second resting portion, and a second arm portion rigidly connects the first resting portion with the third resting portion, allows providing a support structure which is simultaneously stable against overturning and comfortable for the user because it leaves the space under the resting plane free from obstacles.
  • a base member like the one claimed provides a resting stability comparable to the one that would be provided by a base member delimited by a continuous rectilinear edge passing through the ends of the second and third base portion and facing a user, for example a rectangular or triangular plate, which would be much more cumbersome.
  • the base body of the present invention instead leaves free most of the space comprised between the first arm portion and the second arm portion, thus allowing increased freedom of movement and use by the user.
  • the first arm portion and the second arm portion comprise respective flat resting surfaces which are coplanar with each other and lying along said base plane, thus forming a single, continuous flat resting surface together with the resting surfaces of said first resting portion, said second resting portion and said third resting portion.
  • the base member is made in one piece, thus forming a single, continuous plate-shaped or tubular body.
  • the base member is very sturdy, in addition to being affordable to make.
  • the structure provides an overall pleasant, lightweight appearance due to the reduced thickness of such a member.
  • the base member is substantially in the shape of a boomerang in which the first arm portion and the second arm portion extend along respective main paths which are in the shape of circumference arcs with non-coincident centers of curvature, lying on the base plane.
  • Such an embodiment allows the resting efficiency to be optimized in addition to providing a smooth and soft appearance.
  • a height-adjustable item of furniture for example a height-adjustable table, comprising
  • the lifting device is hidden inside each of said at least one first telescopic leg and at least one second telescopic leg, and the actuator is hidden inside a supporting bracket secured at the upper end of each leg.
  • a height-adjustable support structure for a worktop of an item of furniture is indicated as a whole with numeral 10.
