A leg assembly comprises a tubular member and a plurality of radial leg members which are connected to the tubular member through a connector. The connector includes a sleeve member with radial lug members. Each leg member has a forked joint end connected pivotally to each lug member. Positioning pin holes are provided in the lug member and slide openings are provided in the joint ends. Positioning pins are respectively threaded through the positioning pin holes and the slide openings. The positioning pins can be locked at a desired position so as to immobilize the leg members.

An adjustable leg assembly comprising: (a) a vertical tubular support; (b) a connector which includes a sleeve member securely provided around said vertical tubular support, said sleeve member having a plurality of radially extending lug members, each of said lug members having a positioning pin hole; (c) a plurality of leg members each having a joint end, each of said joint ends being forked and having first and second substantially parallel plates, said first and second plates being pivotally connected to one of said lug members so that said first and second plates overlap said lug member, said first plate having an elongated and curved slide opening which registers with an elongated and curved slide opening in said second plate, said curved slide openings being correspondingly registered with said positioning pin hole in said lug member; (d) means for adjustably locking said leg members against movement relative to said connector, including a plurality of positioning pins each extending through one of said positioning pin holes and said corresponding curved slide openings; (i) each of said positioning pins having two portions with enlarged cross-sections; (ii) each of said positioning pin holes having a portion with an enlarged cross-section for receiving one of said enlarged portions of said positioning pin; (iii) each of said curved slide openings being formed to permit said positioning pin to slide transversely therein so as to vary the position of said leg relative to said connector, said curved slide opening having a narrow portion which is narrower than said enlarged portions of said positioning pin and at least two wide portions which are wide enough to receive said enlarged portions of said positioning pin; (iv) each of said positioning pins being operable to be moved axially between a first portion, in which said enlarged portions of said positioning pin can be received in said wide portions of said corresponding curved slide openings to lock the position of the leg relative to the connector, and a second position in which said enlarged portions of said positioning pin are out of said wide portions of said curved slide openings and said positioning pin can slide transversely therein.
