Abstract

An attachment for furniture feet adjustable in height with respect to a piece of furniture includes a body having a seat adapted to firmly receive an upper end of a foot adjustable in height, four pass-through openings for the passage of a maneuvering tool of an adjustment mechanism of at least one additional foot adjustable in height, the openings being arranged at 90° with respect to each other and lying along two symmetry axes, orthogonal to each other, of the body.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An attachment for furniture feet adjustable in height with respect to a piece of furniture, comprising:
a body provided with a seat adapted to firmly receive an upper end of a foot adjustable in height; and
four pass-through openings for passage of a maneuvering tool of an adjustment mechanism of at least one additional foot adjustable in height, each of said openings being arranged at 90° with respect to neighboring openings, each of said openings lying along one of two symmetry axes of said body, said symmetry axes being orthogonal to each other,
wherein said body is provided with a flange extending along an entire perimeter of the body and arranged as an upper layer or surface of the body of the attachment.

2. The attachment according to claim 1 , wherein said four pass-through openings are provided with countersinks for the passage of a tip of the maneuvering tool.

3. The attachment according to claim 1 , wherein said body has hooking and fixing elements to a bottom of the furniture.

4. The attachment according to claim 3 , wherein said hooking and fixing elements are defined by an expansion plug, arranged according to an axis perpendicular to an axis of the bottom.

5. The attachment according to claim 3 , wherein said hooking and fixing elements are defined by four second pass-through holes configured to receive screws or other fixing elements to the bottom of the furniture.

6. The attachment according to claim 1 , wherein said body has a square-shaped, circular, or round cross-section.

7. The attachment according to claim 1 , wherein said body is produced by molding.

8. The attachment according to claim 1 , wherein said flange is a shaped flange provided with four corners arranged as the upper layer or surface of the body of the attachment.

9. The attachment according to claim 8 , wherein said shaped flange provides arched linear sections alternating with straight sections arranged to form said corners.

10. The attachment according to claim 1 , wherein said body has four identical sides that favor a correct positioning thereof.

11. The attachment according to claim 1 , wherein said body is a single front/rear, right/left piece adapted to receive front/rear, right/left feet.
