A rapidly assembled tabletop support includes cross members and a stringer perpendicular to the cross members. There are locking mechanisms on the cross member, and steps and necks corresponding to the steps on the stringer. By pushing the stringer to move relative to the cross member, the stringer and its steps are closely matched with a tube wall of the cross member, and the locking mechanism is engaged into the neck on the stringer, realizing rapid engagement between the cross member and the stringer. The rapidly assembled tabletop support has advantages such as high production efficiency, simple structure, convenient installation, reliable use, and adjustable length.

The rail includes a channel in the upper surface for receiving an accessory, and a side accessory slot for mounting the worksurface. The worksurface may be mounted via an upper bracket and a lower bracket interfitted with each other and the side accessory slot to frictionally lock the brackets in place along the longitudinal length of the slot.

CONNECTING DEVICE FOR CONNECTING A TABLE LEG TO A TABLE LEAF

A connecting device for connecting a table leg to a table leaf having a back-gripping element, which can be disposed on the table leaf and has an engagement hole and a locking device, which can be disposed on the table leg. The locking device has a clamping element having an engagement hook which is designed to engage the engagement hole of the back-gripping element, a spring element, which is supported at least indirectly against the clamping element and at least indirectly against a spring abutment, and an actuating element. The actuating element acts on the spring abutment so that, in a locking position, the spring abutment applies sufficient force to secure the engagement hook of the clamping element in the engagement hole, and in an unlocking position, the spring abutment is in a position in which the spring element is at least partially unloaded in relation to the locking position.
