Support post

A support post (2) comprising at least two tubes (4, 6) telescopically in sliding connection to each other, a locking device (8) holding the tubes in a locked state relative each other and allowing relative sliding of the tubes into each other in an unlocked state, at least one end (10) of the support post has an opening (12;

• 112) in connection with a surface support element (14;
• 114) having a profile member (16;
• 116) in sliding engagement with the open end of the support post, a spring (18;
• 118) is in a first end (20;
• 120) arranged within the opening of the support post and surrounded by a wall section (22;
• 122) of the tube, and a second end (24;
• 124) of the spring is arranged to act on the surface support element (14;
• 114), to resiliently affect the surface support element (14;
• 114) in a direction away (D1) from the open end (10) of the support post and vice versa, characterized in, that the locking device (8;
• 218) comprises a locking ring (220) loosely arranged on one of the tubes (4), the locking device (8, 218) further comprises a first ring holding arm (222) arranged at one end of the other tube (6), the first ring holding arm (222) having a first recess (224) for retaining the locking ring in loose arrangement around said tube (4) with limited movability, that a lever (26, 126) is arranged close to the open end (10) of the support post (2), the lever (26, 126) has a free outer end (30, 130) positioned on the outside of support post and an inner portion (32;
• 132) in engagement with the spring (18;
• 118) within the opening (12, 112) of the support post, the lever (26;
• 126) is arranged in a first position (I) in an unstressed condition of the spring (18;
• 118) where the surface support element (14;
• 114) is retracted in a direction towards the open end (10) of the support post, whereas the lever (26;
• 126) is arranged in a second position (II) in a stressed condition of the spring (18;
• 118) where the surface support element (14;
• 114) is projecting in a direction away (D1) from the open end (10) of the support post, whereby moving the lever (26;
• 126) from the first position (I) to the second position (II), and vice versa, resiliently affect the surface support element (14;
• 114) in a direction to and from the open end (10) of the support post (2), and that the surface support element is arranged to be installed on a floor, and that the lever is a pedal.
