Abstract:
A stabilizing arrangement for use with a table, the arrangement including:a support structure, a table top being mountable on the support structure;four feet which are mounted on the support structure so that a line drawn between a first pair of the feet intersects a line drawn between a second pair of the feet, the feet of each pair being fixed relative to each other with the pairs being linearly displaceable relative to each other; anda displacement means arranged on the support structure to permit linear displacement of the pairs of feet relative to each other, the displacement means being operable when the feet are placed on an uneven support surface so that all four feet can bear against the support surface, in use and;a displacement limiting means which is operatively arranged with respect to the support structure and the feet and which is automatically frictionally operable to limit linear displacement of the pairs of feet relative to each other when all four feet bear against the support surface.
