A support part that supports a lower portion of a housing upon installation of an item on an installation surface, includes: a leg part including an outer leg portion, an inner leg portion, and a connecting portion, the outer leg portion being provided so as to come into contact with the installation surface and extending from a gap between the lower portion of the housing and the installation surface so as to protrude outward of an outer side surface of the housing, the inner leg portion being disposed above the outer leg portion and extending inward of the outer side surface of the housing, the connecting portion connecting the outer leg portion and the inner leg portion inside the outer side surface of the housing; a raising/lowering section that is provided at the lower portion of the housing and that supports the inner leg portion of the leg part so as to raise and lower the inner leg portion; and an operation section that is provided so that a portion of the operation section protrudes outward of an outer side surface of the connecting portion of the leg part and that operates a raising/lowering movement of the raising/lowering section.

Provided are a foot adjusting system and a refrigerator having same, the foot adjusting system including: a driving rotating wheel, a part of which forms a driving rotating shaft; a drive belt, sleeved on an outer periphery of the driving rotating shaft; and a foot, provided with a screw rod and a driven rotary disc, the screw rod being rotatably screwed into a threaded hole at a bottom of an apparatus where the foot adjusting system is installed, an outer periphery of the driven rotary disc being sleeved with the drive belt to be in a transmission connection with the driving rotating shaft, and the driven rotary disc being fixedly connected to the screw rod or integrated with the screw rod to form a one-piece part so as to drive the screw rod to rotate. The leveling difficulty and the installation difficulty of the apparatus can be reduced.

Height-adjustable fixtures for buried tubulars and methods of adjusting the height-adjustable fixtures. The height-adjustable fixtures include a frame and a plurality of slot nuts. The frame has an upper frame surface, a lower frame surface, a flange that defines a plurality of slots, and a central opening that extends between the upper frame surface and the lower frame surface. The central opening is sized to provide access to a buried tubular conduit of the buried tubular. Each slot nut is shaped to be received within a corresponding slot. In some examples, each slot nut defines a lower nut surface, an upper nut surface, and a neck region positioned between the lower nut surface and the upper nut surface. In some examples, when each slot nut is received within the corresponding slot, the lower nut surface is recessed within the corresponding slot.

A furniture assembly includes a top portion and a support frame including a mid-section and a base. The mid-section is configured to be connected between the top portion and the base. The support frame includes at least one cross-member that is configured to be rotated about a swivel joint between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration. A foot includes a tip end that is connected to a foot end by a threaded rod, and the tip end is configured to be threaded onto a leg of the mid-section. In addition, the base is configured to be disposed between the mid-section and the foot end of the foot.

A foot is connected to the bottom wall of a refrigeration cabinet. The foot is selectively movable relative to the bottom wall to adjust a vertical position of the foot with respect to the bottom wall. The bottom wall provides access to the foot from within the interior of the cabinet to allow a user to selectively move the foot to adjust the vertical position of the foot with respect to the bottom wall. The foot includes a stop configured to engage the bottom wall and thereby limit downward adjustment of the foot with respect to the bottom wall. A floor glide is connected to the bottom wall and initially protrudes downward from the bottom wall beyond the foot. The floor glide enables the cabinet to slide along a support surface to a deployment position so then the foot can be lowered to support the cabinet at the deployment position on the foot.

A movable bearing device includes a base, a plurality of casters, and a plurality of foot pads. The casters are provided on the bottom of the base. The foot pads are movably connected to the bottom of the base in a way that the foot pads are moved upwards and downwards with respect to the base. When the foot pads are moved downwards until their bottom surfaces each have a height equal to or lower than the bottom edges of the casters, the movable bearing device is supported on the ground by means of the foot pads, such that the movable bearing device cannot be moved. When the foot pads are moved upwards until their bottom surfaces each have a height higher than the bottom edges of the casters, the movable bearing device can be moved by means of the casters so as to facilitate the handling work.

An articulated adjustable foot, including a support base, designed at least partially in an elastomeric manner, including a mounting surface to rest on a support surface, and a ball receptacle, which is open on one side, for a ball that is attached to the end of a shaft. The ball receptacle is delimited beneath the ball by a reinforcement disk, which is embedded into the elastomer and has a central hole, in which the underside of the ball is supported.

A joining and levelling system adapted for use in furniture and furnishing items having a bottom and a shoulder positionable with respect to a floor includes, in combination, a front foot unit and a rear foot unit, each having a connection group and a blocking group of a joining device for stably interconnecting the bottom and the shoulder. The connection group and the blocking group can be actuated from the front with respect to the furniture, the front and rear foot units being positioned beneath the bottom and facing the shoulder, and the bottom and the shoulder not resting on the floor. The front and rear foot units are disposed in an identical body for both the front and the rear foot units, and actuation rods of the joining device are arranged in the rear foot unit and positioned between the front and the rear foot units.

An apparatus for adjusting a height adjustable leg for supporting a cabinet, appliance or structure is described. The apparatus includes a foot of a height adjustable leg and a tool comprising a driving member and a torque input for applying torque to the driving member. The foot includes a rotatable foot part with a driven member and a base part to support the rotatable foot part on a floor or supporting surface. The tool and the foot are complementarily adapted to releasably maintain engagement between the driving member and the driven member to allow the driving member to drive the driven member to rotate the rotatable foot part about a longitudinal axis of the leg for height adjustment of the leg.
