Abstract
Abstract A card punch for a data processing machine is mounted on a table which is supported by four legs, each of which is rectangular in cross section. Each leg at its lower end extends slidably into the upper end of one of four, identical, tubular extensions, which also are rectangular in cross section. A disc-shaped foot or skid is removably mounted in the lower end of each extension. The extensions support the equipment at a height from which it can be operated readily by a person standing at the table; and when the extensions are removed by sliding them off from the lower ends of the table legs, the latter then support the table at a lower level, which is convenient for operating the equipment from a seated position.

An adjustable height device for data processing equipment, comprising a table for supporting thereon the equipment, said table having a top, a first set of spaced, parallel legs fastened to said top and projecting downwardly therefrom, and a second set of legs telescopically engageable with the lower ends of said first set of legs to project equidistantly below said lower ends, said second set of legs being removable from said first set of legs to lower the height of said table, each of said second set of legs having an opening in its lower end, and a foot for each of said second set of legs, and a spring clip secured to each foot for removably securing each foot to one of said second set of legs, each spring clip having spaced, divergent, resilient arms insertable friCtionally into the opening in one of said second set of legs releasably to secure a foot thereon, a plurality of rigid members extending transversely between said first set of legs below said top to secure said first set of legs in spaced, parallel relation, said members having coplanar lower edges spaced above the lower ends of said first set of legs, each of said second set of legs having a central bore extending downwardly from the upper end thereof, said lower ends of said first set of legs being slidably disposed in the bores in said upper ends of said second set of legs so that the lower edges of said members rest on the upper ends of said second set of legs and thereby determine the height of said table top, each of said first set of legs also having an opening in its lower end, and each of said feet for said second set of legs being releasably fastenable to one of said first set of legs by inserting its spring clip into the opening in one of said first set of legs after the second set of legs has been removed from said first set.
