"Furniture foot with built-in compensator ¹¹ DESCRIPTION

There are known feet for furniture with a built-in Compensator, which simply consists of an end fitting screwed onto the foot itself.

The simplest fittings can only be handled from the outside, while the most sophisticated can also be operated with the help of a screwdriver, which is inserted into the from above tubular foot, through the floor of the piece of furniture can be introduced. These latter are preferable,

because they allow an appropriate pair of forces to be used around the whole piece of furniture with the least amount of effort to level including the content.

However, the fittings are on the feet, especially on the Corners, not always easy to reach from the inside of the furniture, which does not allow a correct leveling of the latter. Turning the fitting by hand and from the outside but is extremely difficult, especially when the furniture is full, and the operator is forced to use auxiliary devices, like pliers and the like.

One purpose of the present innovation is to remedy the above disadvantage and to provide a foot with a built-in equalizer, with a screw or equivalent, which has such a construction that it is light from the outside to use an appropriate force couple.

Another purpose of the present invention is to create a furniture foot that can be leveled with suitable anti-friction agents that are able to prevent damage to the floor during the rotation of the fitting to avoid.

With regard to the purposes indicated above, was renewed according to thought of creating a furniture foot with a built-in equalizer of the kind that can be moved axially to it Pass or end piece includes, its displacement by a rotary movement is caused, characterized in that, that said fitting comprises at least one radial opening which is suitable for the tip of a screwdriver

or an equivalent tool!

Preferably, the passport comprises a ring more radial Openings"

An anti-friction cover is preferably attached to this fitting or plug attached, which is a little loose and in the Relation to the adapter can be turned itself "

The structural and functional features of the innovation and its advantages will become even clearer from an examination of the following exemplary description with reference to FIG the attached drawings show on which:

Figure 1 shows a view in elevation, the einneuerungsgemaess represents executed furniture feet;

Figure 2 is a section of the same furniture foot of Figure 1}

FIG. 3 along the section line III-III of FIG. 2 guided cut is; and

Figure h is an exploded view of the furniture foot and the balancer partially in section.

With reference to the drawings, the object-Iiehe furniture foot is designated in its entirety by 10 and can include, for example, a piece of pipe 11, which with
slight interference in a socket 12 fastened to the floor 14 of the furniture by means of a screw bolt 13
is used.

At the free end of the piece 11, a compensator 15 is provided, which consists of a thread provided at the end as in FIG cylindrical body, and this body has am

the other end a ring of radial narrowed openings 17 with a base ring 18, the ring 18 has a conical recess 19 »a shoulder 20 and radial slots 2k of lower strength for the snap-on attachment of an anti-friction plug or cover 21, which is somewhat loose in relation to the ring 18 sits and is rotatable.

The stopper 21 is made of plastic, while the remaining foot is made of metal. The compensator I5 comes with the threaded part 16 is screwed into a corresponding thread 22 of part 11.

The compensator foot according to the innovation is suitable to be operated from the outside, with the help of the tip of a screwdriver 23 (or an equivalent tool), which is inserted into one of the openings I7. It is this © way possible to give the equalizer from the outside of the furniture and this comfortably strong torques, which allow its operation even when the furniture is heavily loaded. In these cases, when the coefficient of friction is larger between the cover and the floor than between the cover and the compensator, the compensator will open the inner surface of the stationary lid. This avoids scratching the floor.

In this way, both of the objectives mentioned in the introduction to the present description are achieved.
