Appl. No.:

10/734868

Inventors:

Petra Reed - Redwood City CA, US
James P. Reed - Redwood City CA, US

Assignee:

Pedestal Designs Inc. - Menlo Park CA

International Classification:

A47G 29/00

US Classification:

24834601, 248678, 108181

Abstract:

A pedestal comprising a pedestal base whose upper surface defines at least two pairs of open channels. Each pair of open channels is sized and spaced so that a support member of constant cross-section can be slidably fitted into the pair of channels. The pairs of channels are positioned so that, when a straight support member is fitted into each pair of channels, all the support members are parallel to each other and form a platform for supporting objects. The pedestals are particularly useful in the catering and hospitality industry for supporting food and beverage containers, tableware, flower vases and sculptures.

Inventors:

Petra Reed - Redwood City CA, US
James Reed - Redwood City CA, US

International Classification:

A47B091/00

US Classification:

248/346300

Abstract:

A pedestal base which is a hollow tube having a first periphery and a second periphery. At least one of the first and second peripheries includes at least two pairs of open channels. Each pair of open channels is sized and spaced around the periphery so that a support member of constant cross-section can be slidably fitted into the pair of channels. The pairs of channels are spaced around the periphery so that, when a straight support member is fitted into each pair of channels, all the support members are parallel to each other and form a platform for supporting objects. The pedestals are particularly useful in the catering industry for supporting food and beverage containers, tableware, flower vases and sculptures.
