Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 13/500,598, filed on Apr. 5, 2012 as the U.S. national phase of International Application No. PCT/AU2010/001738, filed Dec. 23, 2010, claiming priority to Australian Application No. 2009906272, filed Dec. 24, 2009, all of which are incorporated by reference herein in their entireties.
- The present disclosure broadly relates to a support for supporting an object on a surface. The support is described specifically for supporting an object or an item of furniture such as a table on a surface such as a floor and it is also described in conjunction with a support utilizing feet comprising pistons and cylinders in fluid communication with one another to provide variable support. However, it will be understood that this support is advantageous in supporting any object on a surface.
- Structures such as tables, ladders and tripods have legs for positioning on a surface. These legs often feature feet to contact the surface. Feet which are independent of the structure can be composed of a distinct material from the legs to allow for different qualities of the feet without changing the material of the legs. For example, feet can be designed for limiting noise production by utilising a more malleable or elastic material than that of the legs, limiting damage to the surface by utilising a more malleable or elastic material than that of the legs, increasing durability or flexibility of the feet by utilising a stronger material than that of the legs and allowing for replacement of the feet when worn without replacing the entire leg structure.
- Pistons have been utilised to stabilise structures such as ladders, tripods and tables. Generally one piston is associated with each leg of the structure. The pistons are in fluid communication. Thus the pistons can be utilised to together adjust the position of individual support legs. When the position of the structure is considered stable the pistons are manually isolated so no further adjustment occurs.
- A foot can be utilised in place of the piston, attached with or extending from the piston or merely as a stationary extension from the leg. The foot requires a connection between the foot and the leg of the table.
- In a first aspect, disclosed is a support for supporting an object on a surface, the support comprising a base, the base adapted to be attached with or extend from the object. The base has a cavity extending therein, the cavity having a key portion. The key portion is adapted to engage with a foot inserted into the cavity.
- In one form the support further comprises a foot, at least a portion of the foot being adapted to be inserted into the keyed portion of the cavity. The support typically extends from a plurality of legs or extensions from an object or furniture such as a table. The support allows a variety of feet to be positioned and attached with the table or other object. For example, a stationary foot can be positioned within the keyed portion or alternatively a foot which comprises a piston portion or a cylinder portion of a support structure comprising a piston, a cylinder in which the piston is moveable, wherein the piston and the cylinder are arranged so that a loading associated with the structure affects an adjustment of the support element.
- In one form, the key portion of the cavity comprises an inner surface of the cavity having a keyed profile.
- In one form the support comprises a support element having a piston and cylinder arranged so that a loading associated with the structure effects an adjustment of the support element, and wherein an increase in hydraulic pressure within the cylinder, effected by the loading associated with the structure, activates a braking means.
- In one form the piston is removable from the support and can be replaced with a stationary cap not associated with the piston.
- In one form, the foot has an outer surface, at least a portion of which has a profile which is adapted to correspond with the keyed profile of the inner surface of the cavity.

FIG. 2 shows an exploded isometric view of the embodiment ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 3 shows an isometric view of the embodiment ofFIG. 1 ; -
FIG. 4 shows a side perspective view of the embodiment ofFIG. 1 ; -

FIG. 7 shows a base perspective view of the support ofFIG. 1 in situ in a table; -
FIG. 8 shows an exploded base perspective view of the support ofFIG. 1 in situ in a table; -
FIG. 9 shows a base perspective view of the support ofFIG. 1 in situ in a table. - Referring to the Figures, disclosed is a support for supporting an object on a surface. The
support 1 comprises abase 3 which is engaged with theobject 4, in this case a table leg, by means of an attachment, or extends therefrom. Thebase 3 may be attached with theobject 4 by any method, such as adhesive, heat fixing, staples, pins, or indeed may be integral with theobject 4. Thebase 3 is composed of any moldable or shapeable material such as plastics, metals or other materials. - The
base 3 includes acavity 6 which extends upwardly into the base and is defined by awall 7. Thewall 7 has aninner surface 8. Theinner surface 8 of thecavity 6 includes a keyedportion 12. The keyed portion is a profile surface such that theinner surface 8 includes one ormore indentations 13 that make up the profile surface. Alternatively, theinner surface 8 could include protrusions, ribs, or any other profile which is adapted to create a keyed interior portion of thecavity 6. - The
support 1 further includes afoot 16 which is, in use, inserted into thecavity 6 such that at least a portion of thefoot 16 extends from thebase 3 and therefore from theobject 4. Thefoot 16 has anouter profile 17 which is profiled to correspond with the keyedinner surface 8 such that thefoot 16 engages the profiledinner surface 8 of thecavity 6 when thefoot 16 is inserted into thecavity 6. Thefoot 16 is composed of any multiple or shapeable material such as for example plastics, metals, rubber. - It can be seen that the
foot 16 supports theobject 4 above the ground. Thefoot 16 can be composed of a material to add additional durability to theobject 4 and/or to limit noise when theobject 4 is moved across the floor or to limit damage when theobject 4 is moved across the floor. - In one embodiment, the
object 4 includes asupport system 9 comprisingsupport elements 112. The support system comprises in this embodiment includes four support elements though other numbers of support elements are also useable and beneficial. Eachsupport element 112 comprises acylinder 18 and apiston 20. Thecylinders 18 each have a fluid inlet/outlet 22 which is connected to the fluid inlet/outlet 22 of the other support element bytube 24. Thecylinder 18 is filled with fluid. The amount of fluid that flows through the inlet/outlet 22 determines the movement of thepistons 20 in thecylinders 18. As each fluid inlet/outlet 22 is interconnected to another fluid inlet/outlet 22, an upward movement of one of the pistons in the respective cylinder moves the fluid through thetube 24 and hence effects a downward movement of theother cylinder 20. - When the support is placed on surface, the weight of the structure effects, for example, an upward movement of
piston 20 insupport element 112′ and a downward movement ofpiston 20 insupport element 112″. The movements of the pistons therefore adjust the height ofsupport elements 112. Once both pistons have reached the adjustment positions, the loading associated with thestructure 16 effects a pressure increase within the cylinders and a brake (not shown) secures thepistons 18 in thecylinders 20 into a stationary position. As the adjustment and the securing of the pistons in the cylinders happens automatically, the support is self-adjusting. - In one embodiment, the support system also includes a valve arranged to receive a hydraulic liquid. When the valve is open fluid can move between the supports.
- The valve is adapted to restrict fluid transfer such that when the fluid on both sides of the valve is pressurised above a threshold value fluid flow through the valve is limited or prevented. In contrast when the fluid pressure on one side of the valve is below the threshold value, the valve is adapted to allow fluid transfer. When fluid transfer occurs, the pressure on both sides of the valve falls to below the preset limit and the interconnected valves of each
support element 112 will open to allow fluid transfer. - This allows the support element 30 to self-adjust upon a change in loading. That is when any one leg is unloaded leg height adjustment is allowed by the opening of the valves and flow of fluid through the
tube 24. - In one embodiment, the
foot 16 acts as part of/or in place of thepiston 20 andcylinder 18. In this form thesupport 1 includes achannel 21 for insertion of thesupport system 9 into thesupport 1. Thesupport system 9 is inserted into thechannel 21 and thefeet 16 are inserted into thekeyed cavity 6 to engage with thesupport 1. - Alternatively, the support of the present disclosure is a
stationary foot 16 positioned in abase 3 without a support element. In this embodiment thefoot 16 is not acting as a piston but instead is acting simply as a stationary foot positioned in theobject 4. Thefoot 16 is inserted into thecavity 6 and engages it owing to the profiledinner surface 8 of the cavity contacting the profiled outer surface of the foot. - In the claims which follow and in the preceding description of the invention, except where the context requires otherwise due to express language or necessary implication, the word “comprise” or variations such as “comprises” or “comprising” is used in an inclusive sense, i.e. to specify the presence of the stated features but not to preclude the presence or addition of further features in various embodiments of the invention.
