An adjustable-height chair column comprises an upright tube and a gas spring that is disposed coaxially in the upright tube. The gas spring comprises a valve for actuation of the gas spring. This valve is embodied for opening upon relief of the casing of the gas spring in relation to the upright tube.

A compression spring comprises a casing in which a piston is arranged for displacement, the piston being mounted on a piston rod. In the casing provision is made for two sectional casing chambers which are filled with pressure fluid, at least one of which being defined by the piston. A first operating valve, in an open position, connects the sectional casing chambers to each other and, in a shut-off position, blocks the compression spring. An additional throttle element ensures that an actuation and over-flow assembly between the sectional casing chambers is completely open only when the throttle element, with the valve pin tripped, is simultaneously moved by corresponding actuation into a position of release. Without any such actuation of the throttle element, there will be only throttled flow between the sectional casing chambers. Any inadvertent extension of the piston rod is thus precluded. This is an especially convenient and intuitive way of backrest adjustment in a seat.

A longitudinally adjustable gas spring for adjustable-height chairs, tables or the like has an external cylinder, in which a piston is guided for displacement, to which a piston rod is secured, which is guided out of the exterior cylinder. The exterior cylinder has a thin hard external nitrided layer and a considerably softer core layer enclosing the inside wall of the exterior cylinder.
