Abstract: A furniture frame, especially a table frame, that includes a support having upright support parts. Intermediate link members are pivotably connected to the support parts. A carrier member is provided that carries a panel and has carrier parts that are pivotally connected to the intermediate link members. The carrier member is movable between a lower position of use and an upper position of use in which the support parts, the intermediate link members, and the carrier parts extend upwardly and together with the panel enclose a free space. At least one connecting member is provided and has a center portion as well as end portions that are pivotably connected to the intermediate link members at pivot locations. The end portions extend upwardly from these pivot locations, and the center portion in the upper position of use, extends at least substantially in a region beyond the free space when viewed in the direction of the pivot axes of the furniture frame.

Abstract: A height-adjustable support leg for furniture has an upper leg portion and a lower leg portion. A pivot is provided for pivotably connecting the upper and lower leg portions. The lower leg portion is pivotable from a horizontal position, in which the lower leg portion rests on the floor, into a stretched position of the support leg in which the lower leg portion is aligned with the upper leg portion. A latching mechanism for securing the lower leg portion in the stretched position against pivoting is provided. The latching mechanism has at least one latch-shaped release element that is automatically moved into a latching position upon pivoting the lower leg portion from the horizontal position into the stretched position. The lower leg portion is non-slidably connected to the pivot.

Abstract: A height-adjustable support has a bearing member for connecting the support to a vehicle. A support member is connected to the bearing member so as to pivotable between a rest position and a support position. A follower is pivotably connected to the bearing member and engages the support member so as to entrain the support member at least in one direction of pivoting between the rest position and the support position. The height-adjustable support also has a drive unit for pivoting the support member. The support is especially suitable for supporting motor homes or trailers.

Abstract: A frame structure for furniture, especially table frame structure, according to which a first rigid support structure supports a pivotal support structure which is pivotally connected to the first rigid support structure for selective movement along a vertical plane from a first position of use in which it forms an upwardly directed extension of the first rigid support structure to a second position of use in which the pivotal support structure is folded downwardly at least approximately onto the first rigid support structure. The frame structure furthermore comprises a second rigid support structure which is pivotally supported by and extends upwardly from the pivotal support structure while forming with the latter a parallelogram linkage system, the pivotal support structure being adapted selectively to be locked to the second rigid support structure in the first position of use of the pivotal support structure.
