Abstract:
1. A table support arrangement comprising: an elongated table support structure for connection at an operatively upper end thereof to a table top, the table support structure having a first pair of feet at or adjacent an operatively lower end of the support structure; an elongated guide pin fast with the table support structure, the guide pin projecting from an operatively lower end of the support structure; a displaceable support member including a second pair of feet at or adjacent an operatively lower end thereof, such that a line drawn between the feet of the first pair is transverse to a line drawn between the feet of the second pair, the displaceable support member defining a central guide passage lined with a cylindrical bushing which slidingly engages the elongated guide pin such that the displaceable support member is slidably displaceable in use along a rectilinear guided path which is transverse to the lines respectively drawn between both said pairs of feet, and such that the displaceable support member is frictionally engageable with the guide pin in response to pivoting of the displaceable support member about a pivot axis which is transverse to the displaceable support member's guided path, to anchor the displaceable support member frictionally against sliding displacement relative to the guide formation; and at least one urging member for urging the displaceable support member away from the support structure along the elongated guide pin such that the first and second pairs of feet substantially bear against a support surface in use to form a stable table support arrangement.
