Abstract
A telescoping leg includes a leg tube, a leg, a knee, and a locking mechanism. The leg is shaped and sized to slide within the leg tube, and has a linear array of holes. The knee is between the leg tube and the leg, at least partially surrounds an end of the leg tube from which the leg extends. The locking mechanism is located at a knee aperture of the knee, and includes a locating pin having a tip extending through the locking-mechanism and a spring that applies a force on the locating pin. When the locating pin is aligned with a hole and the spring is not subject to an externally-applied force, the tip extends into the tapered hole and mates with an interior surface of the hole to secure a position of the leg within the leg tube. The tip and the hole may be correspondingly tapered.
