Problems solved by technology

[0006] However, there are many reasons why the use of three or five legs is undesirable on many objects, especially those with quadrilaterals in plan, such as tables with square or rectangular tops, where four legs are generally preferred, towards each corner positioning

Embodiment Construction

[0076] first reference figure 1 , which shows a stabilizing device 1 supporting an object, in this example a tabletop 4 . The desktop is shown transparent so that Interconnect 2 is visible, part of which is figure 2 The cross axis 10 shown in the figure 1 is only indicated by the arms 12a, 12b, 12c, 12d shown in dashed lines. In the figures, similar features are assigned the same reference numerals.

[0077] The stabilizing device has four legs 5, 6, 7, 8, each with respective ground engaging means (eg feet 5a, 6a, 7a, 8a) contacting the ground in use. The legs 5, 6, 7, 8 are able to slide (preferably vertically) relative to the interconnection means 2 at the respective sliding connection 3 so that the stabilizing means conform to uneven surfaces (i.e. where the ground engaging means 5a, 6a, 7a , 8a are not in the common plane), without requiring any user input. A dotted line 9 is shown between the foot 5 a of the first leg 5 and the foot 7 a of the third leg 7 . The fo...

Abstract

A stabilising arrangement (1) for supporting an object (4) has: first, second, third and fourth legs (5, 6, 7, 8) with respective ground engaging means and connected to interconnection means (2) by respective slide connections, the second and fourth ground engaging means on opposing sides of a virtual line between the first and third ground engaging means; a first balance beam (32) pivoted to theinterconnection means and engaging with the first and second legs, the position of each leg determined by at least two additional constraints: i, a second balance beam (33) pivoted to the interconnection means and engaging with the second and third legs; ii, a third balance beam (34) pivoted to the interconnection means and engaging with the third and fourth legs; iii, a first leg fixing (46) connecting the first and third legs; and iv, a second leg fixing (47) connecting the second and fourth legs.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the stabilization of objects such as free standing furniture and appliances. Background technique [0002] Many objects such as furniture (ie tables, chairs and stools) and white goods are supported at least four points of contact with the ground or floor (eg using ground engaging means such as legs, feet or wheels). These items are used in a variety of different situations and in many cases the surface on which the object stands is an uneven or not perfectly flat surface. [0003] The use of at least four firmly positioned ground contact points or feet (e.g. due to the use of four equal-length legs firmly attached to and supporting a flat tabletop) limits the table's feet to lie in a flat plane, whereby they cannot be positioned on a surface Not all of them touch the ground at the same time. This causes the table to be unstable and wobble, which is most noticeable in four-legged tables with smaller tops. [0004] Fo...
