Abstract:
An embodiment includes a leg height adjustment mechanism that includes a first and second latch arms, a first and second retractors, and an activator. The latch arms each include an engagement structure. The retractors each include a sloped surface and a receiving structure. The receiving structure is engaged with one of the engagement structures of the first or the second latch arms. The first latch arm extends in a first lateral direction and the second latch arm extends a second lateral direction. The second retractor is separated from the first retractor in a second lateral direction that is opposite the first lateral direction. The activator includes angled lower surfaces that are positioned outwardly relative to the sloped surfaces.

Claim (Index 10):
A leg assembly that is pivotally connected to a frame and a table top, the leg assembly comprising:\n a first leg subassembly that includes a first upper leg having one or more upper latch openings on an inner surface of the first upper leg, the first upper leg defining a first cavity into which a first lower leg is retractably positioned, the first lower leg having one or more lower latch openings that are selectively aligned with the one or more upper latch openings; a second leg subassembly that includes a second upper leg having one or more upper latch openings on an inner surface of the second upper leg, the second upper leg defining a second cavity into which a second lower leg is retractably positioned, the second lower leg having one or more lower latch openings that are selectively aligned with the one or more upper latch openings; a crossbar assembly positioned laterally between the first leg subassembly and the second leg subassembly, the crossbar assembly including a first opening at a first end and a second opening at a second end; a height adjustment mechanism at least partially contained in the crossbar assembly, the height adjustment mechanism comprising:\n a first retractor that includes a first retractor channel, a first sloped surface, and a first receiving structure; \n a second retractor that includes a second retractor channel, a second sloped surface, and a second receiving structure; \n a first latch arm that includes a first engagement structure that is engaged with the first receiving structure of the first retractor such that the first latch arm extends through the first retractor channel in a first lateral direction from the first retractor; \n a second latch arm that includes a second engagement structure that is engaged with the second receiving structure of the second retractor such that the second latch arm extends through the second retractor channel in a second lateral direction opposite the first lateral direction from the second retractor; and \n an activator defining a cavity sized to receive upper portions of the first and second retractors, the cavity being partially defined by angled lower surfaces, the activator further defining arm channels that extend through the angled lower surfaces and are sized to receive the first and second latch arms, the activator being configurable in an inactive position to enable outward translation of the first retractor and the second retractor such that the first latch arm and second latch arm extend from the first opening and the second opening of the crossbar assembly, and in an active position in which the angled lower surfaces contact the first sloped surface and the second sloped surface to cause inward translation of the first retractor and the second retractor disposed in the cavity such that the first latch arm and the second latch arm are drawn into the crossbar assembly via the first and second openings.
