ABSTRACT:
An adjustable leg assembly for use in any leg supporting application advantageously utilizing leg adjustability. The assembly includes a channel member, a telescoping member and a resilient spacer member. The resilient spacer member is fixed to the telescoping member and slidably mounted on the channel member. The telescoping member normally extends from one end of the channel member and can include a positive locking member engageable with the channel member at selected positions of adjustment. The resilient spacer member guides relative sliding movement while preventing direct contact between the channel and telescoping members. The assembly includes a pressure plate to urge the resilient spacer member into firm engagement with the channel member at selected times to frictionally secure the channel member to the telescoping member.
