Connecting device for connecting a table leg to a table leaf

- 16 17671.6 30.05.2016 A connecting device (10) for connecting a table leg (12) to a table leaf (14) comprises a back-gripping element (16), which can be disposed on the table leaf (14) and has an engagement hole (18, 20), as well as a locking device, which can be disposed on the table leg (12). The locking device has a clamping element (34), 5 having an engagement hook (36) which is designed to engage in the engagement hole (18, 20) of the back-gripping element (16), a spring element (42), which is supported, on the one hand, at least indirectly against the clamping element (34) and, on the other hand, at least indirectly against a spring abutment (46), and an actuating element (62). The actuating element (62) acts on the spring abutment 10 (46) such that, in a locking position, the spring abutment (46) is in a position in which the spring element (42) applies sufficient force to secure the engagement hook (36) of the clamping element (34) in the engagement hole (18), and such that, in an unlocking position, the spring abutment (46) is in a position in which the spring element (42) is at least partially unloaded in relation to the locking position. 15 (Figure 1) C.0 C) coClNC\ ~ T- co\ 00 ztc C\J LCY) Y )q coC~ 0 co c-
