Abstract
A height adjustable furniture piece includes a device for connecting a belt to the furniture piece. The device includes two support elements, each including a first extension member and a second extension member that is telescopically arranged with respect to the first extension member. The belt is fixed to the first extension member and a spring element connects the belt and the first extension member. The belt is deflected by pulleys such that a relative displacement between the first extension member and the second extension member of the first support element results in a synchronous relative displacement between the first extension member and the second extension member of the second support element. The spring element includes a spring force that assists lifting of the second extension member against the force of gravity.
