  • Patent number: 9157568
    Abstract: A height adjustable support for tabletops, chair seats, or like objects, consisting of two parts, a rectangle-shaped component and an L-shaped component. A fixed block at the top of the L-shaped component allows for multiple orientations when the assembly is attached to the underside of a surface. Height adjustability is possible because the rectangle-shaped component has a series of holes bored vertically into the two faces that will contact the interior faces of the L-shaped component. Holes bored through each face of the L-shaped component permit fasteners to pass into the holes in the rectangle-shaped component. When tightened the fasteners will seat against the exterior face of the L-shaped component.
