Adjustable height table

An article of furniture comprising:

• a furniture unit;
• a telescopingly adjustable leg attached to the furniture unit for supporting same, said telescopingly adjustable leg including a first member and a second member slidingly engaging said first member and extendable from said first member;
• a manually releasable lock interconnecting said first and second members in a selected extended position;
• a cover releasably attachable to said telescopingly adjustable leg, said cover when attached preventing inadvertent dislodgement of said manually releasable lock;
• and
• said manually releasable lock including apertures in said first and second members and a locking pin for lockingly engaging a selected pair of said apertures to hold said leg at a selected extended position.

• a manually releasable lock interconnecting said first and second members in a selected extended position;
• a cover releasably attachable to said telescopingly adjustable leg, said cover when attached preventing inadvertent dislodgement of said manually releasable lock;
• said manually releasable lock including apertures in said first and second members and a locking pin for lockingly engaging a selected pair of said apertures to hold said leg at a selected extended position;
• said leg includes a depression and said cover includes edge means for releasably resiliently engaging said depression to retain said cover on said leg;
• said cover including opposing sides that fit partially around said leg to aesthetically cover same when installed thereon, one of said opposing sides being positioned proximate said locking pin to prevent inadvertent dislodgement of said locking pin from the selected pair of said apertures;
• said cover being removable from said leg in a first direction and said locking pin is removable from said leg in a second direction perpendicular to said first direction;
• and
• a second cover positionable on said leg on an opposite side of said leg from said first cover, some of said apertures being covered by said first cover and others of said apertures being covered by said second cover, whereby one of said covers abuttingly retains said locking pin in the selected pair of apertures regardless of which of said apertures are selected.

An article of office furniture comprising:

• a furniture unit;
• a telescoping leg for supporting said furniture unit, said telescoping leg including an upper member connected to said furniture unit and a lower member telescopingly engaging said upper member, one of said upper and lower members including a first aperture and the other of said upper and lower members including a plurality of second apertures, said upper member being selectively positionable on said lower member so that a selected second aperture aligns with said first aperture when said furniture unit is positioned at a selected height;
• a locking pin engageable with said first aperture and said selected second aperture to secure said telescoping leg in a given selected position and thus to secure said furniture unit at the selected height;
• and
• a removable C-shaped cover adapted to aesthetically cover at least a part of opposing sides of said telescoping leg, said cover being resiliently engageable with said telescoping leg and when installed forming a guard that prevents inadvertent dislodgement of said locking pin.

• a removable cover adapted to aesthetically cover at least a part of said telescoping leg, said cover being installable on said telescoping leg and when installed forming a guard that prevents inadvertent dislodgement of said locking pin;
• said locking pin being L-shaped and said apertures in one of said members having an irregular shape, said shaft including a deformed end adapted to slide through said irregular shape and lock therein when said locking pin is axially rotated:
• and
• a second cover positionable on said leg on an opposite side of said leg from said first cover, some of said apertures being covered by said first cover and others of said apertures being covered by said second cover, whereby one of said covers abuttingly retains said locking pin in the selected pair of apertures regardless of which of said apertures are selected.

A table comprising:

• a panel member defining a worksurface;
• at least one adjustable leg connected to the panel member for supporting same, said adjustable leg including an upper member and a lower member, said upper member being slideably adjustable on said lower member so that said worksurface is selectively positionable at one of a plurality of selectable heights, said upper and lower members including apertures at least one pair of which align when said worksurface is at each of the plurality of selectable heights;
• an L-shaped locking pin including a shaft engageable with a selectively aligned pair of said apertures to secure said upper and lower members together with said worksurface at a selected height, said shaft including a deformed end adapted to slide through said selectively aligned pair of apertures and lock therein when axially rotated;
• and
• a C-shaped cover resiliently releasably attachable to said adjustable leg, said cover when attached forming a guard covering an end of said locking pin and positioned proximate thereto that prevents inadvertent dislodgement of the locking pin.
