  • Patent number: 11937695
    Abstract: A table includes a tabletop and a leg assembly to support the tabletop. The leg assembly comprises first and second supports movably connected to the tabletop. The first support includes a first bar and the second support includes a second bar. The first and second bars are pivotally connected to the first bar. The leg assembly also includes a mechanism for adjusting a height of the leg assembly. The mechanism includes a first coupling piece disposed at the first bar and a second coupling piece pivotally connected to the second bar. One of the first and second coupling pieces includes multiple positioning slots. The other of the first and second coupling pieces is selectively engageable with any one of the positioning slots. Engagement with different positioning slots changes an angle between the first and second bars and consequently changes the height of the leg assembly.
