LEG ASSEMBLY
First Claim
1. A leg assembly for mounting to a support system, comprising:
- a first leg member having a body portion with a top end having a top surface and an opposite bottom end having a bottom surface, the top end having a side-to-side width greater than a side-to-side width of the bottom end, the first leg member further having a tapered outer surface extending between the top and bottom surfaces, the body portion of the first leg member having a first top-to-bottom length defined between the top surface and bottom surface; and
a second leg member having a body portion with a top end having a top surface and an opposite bottom end having a bottom surface, the top end having a side-to-side width greater than a side-to-side width of the bottom end, the second leg member further having a tapered outer surface extending between the top and bottom surfaces, the body portion having a second top-to-bottom length defined between the top surface and bottom surface, the second top-to-bottom length being different than the first top-to-bottom length;
wherein the first and second leg members are adapted to connect individually or in combination to the support system such that at least three leg heights are selectably provided; and
wherein the side-to-side width of the top end of the second leg member is approximately equal to the side-to-side width of the bottom end of the first leg member such that when the top end of the second leg members is connected to the bottom end of the first leg member, the top surface of the second leg member is disposed against the bottom surface of the first leg member and the combined leg members have a generally continuously tapered outer surface.

Abstract
A leg assembly includes a first leg member and second leg member each having side-to-side width that is greater at the top end than the bottom end and a tapered outer surface. The second leg member has top-to-bottom length different than the top-to-bottom length of the first leg member. The leg members are adapted to connect individually or in combination to a support system such that at least three leg heights are selectably provided. The side-to-side width of the top end of the second leg member is approximately equal to the side-to-side width of the bottom end of the first leg member such that when the top end of the second leg members is connected to the bottom end of the first leg member, the combined leg members have a generally continuously tapered outer surface.
