  • the shaft comprises a middle section, a first end section pivotable relative to the central section about a first hinge axis, and a second end section pivotable relative to the central section about a second hinge axis.
  • the locking structure locks the first leg element and the second leg element respectively in an unfolded position when the joint axes do not run at least approximately parallel to the pivot axes or in particular at least approximately coincide.
  • the locking structure can be unlocked when the joint axes extend at least approximately parallel to the pivot axes and in particular at least approximately coincide, so that the first leg member and the second leg member are pivotable in a retracted position.
  • frame may refer in particular to a support frame over which the furniture can be parked on the floor.
  • the frame can be a table frame or a frame.
  • countertop in the context of the invention can generally refer to a plate-shaped element which can or can be mounted on the height-adjustable frame and on which an activity is carried out.
  • the worktop can be a table top.
  • Such worktops have a horizontal surface. Deviations from an exactly horizontal orientation can also be included.
  • the worktops can also be tilted or arranged obliquely or be arranged.
  • pivoting with respect to the end portions and leg members may refer to folding in and out.
  • the leg elements in particular with respect to a work or table top to which they are mounted, can be folded in and out.
  • the end sections can be miteinge- or folded.
  • the first and the second leg element are pivotable about a first or second pivot axis, so that each of the leg elements - preferably individually - can be adjusted by pivoting between a folded and a deployed position.
  • the leg elements in particular the foot sections, the frame can be placed on a floor or placed on another, preferably even ground, when they are in the unfolded position.
  • the first adjusting device and the second adjusting device are advantageously designed so that they can be actuated by rotation of a respective adjusting element and thereby depending on the direction of rotation, a displacement of the associated foot portion is effected.
  • the respective adjusting element can in particular be a toothed wheel which is in operative connection with a toothed rack or spindle provided on the corresponding foot section and in particular firmly connected to the foot section.
  • a shaft extending between the leg elements is provided, which is adapted to synchronously actuate the respective adjusting elements of the first and second leg element when it rotates about a longitudinal axis.
  • it can rotationally actuate the gears and thereby the so move connected rack or spindle.
  • a toothed wheel can be provided at each end of the shaft, which, as mentioned above, is in engagement with the toothed racks or spindles provided on the foot sections and serves as a first or second adjusting element.
  • the shaft is designed as an at least three-part shaft, and comprises the middle section, the first end section connected to the central section via a first joint, and the second end section connected to the central section, for example via a second joint.
  • the joints are preferably universal joints with a single degree of freedom, each of which determines the respective axes of articulation extending in particular perpendicular to the central portion of the shaft. About these hinge axes, the end portions are pivotable together with the respective associated leg member.
  • the two joints can also be designed with several in particular two degrees of freedom, for example as a cross, ball, or universal joint.
  • such joints generally have a preferred direction or a preferred degree of freedom, in which or with respect to which pivoting or rotation is particularly low-friction, low-resistance and / or over a particularly large - in particular compared to other directions or with respect other degrees of freedom - adjustment is possible.
  • the axis corresponding to the preferred direction or to the preferred degree of freedom may be understood as the respective joint axis, in particular as far as it is perpendicular to the central section of the shaft.
  • the hinge axes By connected via the hinge axes with the central portion end portions, it is possible that the latter can be pivoted simultaneously with the leg members or folded and unfolded, as far as the degrees of freedom of the joints allow. In order to ensure a clean pivoting, this is possible according to the invention only if the joint axes extend at least approximately parallel to the respective pivot axes of the leg elements or in particular at least approximately coincide with the respective pivot axes.
  • a crank element is preferably provided, which is in operative connection with the shaft, so that the Wave are rotated by turning the crank or the crank element in rotation when.

  • a motor in particular an electric motor can be provided by means of which the shaft can be set in rotation. If the shaft is rotated, the two joints and thus also the two joint axes rotate at the same time. However, this leads to the fact that the joint axes are generally not parallel to the pivot axes, not approximately.
  • first or second hinge axis does not run at least approximately parallel to the first or second pivot axis or if the hinge axes do not coincide at least approximately with the respective pivot axes, pivoting of the corresponding leg element is blocked or rendered impossible by the shaft. This serves in particular to ensure that the corresponding leg element or the shaft and / or other elements of the height-adjustable frame are not damaged.
  • the locking structure is provided according to the invention, which is designed in particular so that it locks the leg members in the unfolded position, ie, blocks a pivoting of the leg members, if the first hinge axis is not at least approximately parallel to the first pivot axis and the second hinge axis at least approximately parallel to the second pivot axis.
  • the locking structure releases the leg members when the first hinge axis is at least approximately parallel to the first pivot axis, or when the first hinge axis and the first pivot axis coincide at least approximately and at the same time the second hinge axis is at least approximately parallel to the second pivot axis, or if the second hinge axis and the second pivot axis coincide at least approximately.
  • the shaft is preferably in a linear or extended position, in which the middle section and the two end sections extend in one and the same direction or lie on a straight axis, ie are not pivoted relative to one another.
  • a locking structure as described above makes it possible to connect the end portions of the shaft, for example, with only one degree of freedom with the central portion, which allows a particularly simple, robust and stable construction of the shaft without affecting the pivotability of the leg members.
  • the two joint axes are oriented parallel.
