Abstract: Disclosed is a height adjustable stand for supporting an object, such as a table leaf or a camera. The invention also relates to a table including the stand. The stand includes at least a first leg, at least a first locking device and at least a first central operating device including at least a first elongated operating element that is arranged to allow the first locking device to be transferred from a locked resting state to an unlocked state in which the height of the stand is adjustable. The construction of the stand is lean and robust allowing height adjustment and stable positioning of the stand and thereby the table, even on uneven supporting surfaces simultaneously. User comfort is improved as precious time can be saved especially when installing multiple stands or tables.

Abstract: A supporting element for an object includes a first leg member and a second leg member. The first leg member is axially movable relative to the second leg member for axially extending the supporting element. The first leg member includes a house that is arranged for slidably receiving the second leg member. The house includes a locking element having a locking position for locking the relative axial movement of the first leg member with respect to the second leg member, and having an open position for enabling relative axial movement of the two members. A catch may be provided in the locking element. The catch may be tiltably movable within the house for alternately acquiring the locking position and the open position of the locking element. The catch may include a cavity receiving the second leg, wherein the cavity has a stopping surface engaging at least opposed perimeter parts of the second leg member in a locking position of the locking element.
