Segmented support body

A segmented support body, in particular a table leg, comprising an outer segment, an intermediate segment positioned within the outer segment and an inner segment positioned within the intermediate segment, which segments are slidable relative to each other, wherein the supporting body comprises in the inner segment an actuator and a gear rack cooperatively connected with the actuator and coupled to an end of the intermediate segment, which actuator is adapted for displacement relative to the gear rack, and wherein the actuator is at least operatively coupled to the outer segment, such that when the actuator is displaced relative to the rack, the outer segment is displaced relative to the intermediate segment.

A segmented support body, in particular a table leg, comprising an outer segment, an intermediate segment positioned within the outer segment and an inner segment positioned within the intermediate segment, which segments are slidable relative to each other, wherein the support body has an actuator and a displacement member connected thereto within the inner segment wherein the displacement member is operatively coupled to the actuator and the intermediate segment, which actuator is adapted for displacement relative to the displacement member, and wherein the actuator is at least operatively coupled to the outer segment, such that upon displacement of the actuator relative to the displacement member the outer segment is displaced relative to the intermediate segment.

The segmented support body according to claim 1, wherein the actuator is a stepper motor.
