Abstract
A support for a table top or the like is provided by a leg having end portions over and to each of which is mounted a sleeve of a material characterized by a frusto-conical exterior surface and a high coefficient of friction. Each sleeved end of the leg is designed to seat in and tightly and frictionally engage one of the sockets to provide rigid support for the table top and each sleeve is provided with a releasable latch to prevent separation of the leg from the socket in the absence of intentional detachment of the latch by an operator.
