Abstract
A combination foot member is disclosed to include two parts that are assembled by inserting the guide board of one part of the foot member into the bottom receiving chamber of the other part of the foot member to let the L-shaped stop member at one part of the foot member stopped at the stop flange at the other part of the foot member for enabling the guide board of one part of the foot member to be respectively engaged into the bottom receiving chamber of the other part of the foot member. In case an excessive force is applied to foot member when adjusting the pitch between the parts, the respective L-shaped stop members will be stopped at the corresponding stop flanges, preventing falling of the parts from each other accidentally.
Claims5
A combination foot member comprising a first part and a second part coupled to each other, said first part and said second part each comprising:
- a base, said base comprising a top wall, a first sidewall, a second sidewall opposite to said first sidewall, a bottom receiving chamber defined by said top wall, said first sidewall and said second sidewall, and a forwardly extended guide board suspended in said bottom receiving chamber near said first sidewall below the elevation of said top wall, said top wall having a front side terminating in a butt end near said second sidewall and a rear side provided with a coupling structure, said guide board having a L-shaped stop member downwardly extended from a front side thereof and an opening faced to said first sidewall, said second sidewall having a horizontal guide rail disposed at an inner surface thereof and terminating in a downwardly extended stop flange;
- and
- a sideboard pivoted to said coupling structure of said base and turnable to a vertical position perpendicular to said base;
- wherein when coupling said first part and said second part to each other, the guide board of each of said first part and said second part is respectively inserted slantwise into the bottom receiving chamber of the other of said first part and said second part to force the respective L-shaped stop member to overstride the corresponding stop flange, and then the guide board of each of said first part and said second part is respectively inserted straightly into the bottom receiving chamber of the other of said first part and said second part for enabling the respective L-shaped stop member to slide forward along the corresponding horizontal guide rail;
- wherein when separating said first part and said second part from each other, the respective L-shaped stop member slides backward along the corresponding horizontal guide rail and stops at the corresponding stop flange.
