Abstract

An expander for table legs consists of two elements, internal and external, joined to each other in a coaxial position by a threaded unit, wherein the internal element is a truncated cone body (12), having an external lateral surface (20) in the form of a truncated cone, sloping at an angle (α) with respect to the vertical, and equipped with a threaded hole (14), and wherein the external element, elastically deformable, consists of an accordion wall (13) with a radial sectored structure, in which sectors (24) form an external cylindrical contact surface (26), which interacts with an internal surface of a hollow tubular leg (34) and in which sectors (25) form an internal truncated cone contact surface (27) sloping at an angle (α), the angle (α) belonging to a inclination range which is such as to optimize the distribution of acting forces in the expander (10) during tightening.
