Claim 37:
38. A power distribution assembly comprising:
a first leg subassembly including first and second elongated leg members, each of the first and second leg members having an upper end and a lower end, the first leg member forming a substantially flat first front surface and the second leg member forming a substantially flat first rear surface, upper ends of the first and second leg members coupled together with the first and second leg members extending downward from the upper ends toward the lower ends at angles such that the first front surface and the first rear surface angle away from each other from the upper ends toward the lower ends;
a second leg subassembly including third and fourth elongated leg members, each of the third and fourth leg members having an upper end and a lower end, the third leg member forming a substantially flat second front surface and the fourth leg member forming a substantially flat second rear surface, upper ends of the third and fourth leg members coupled together with the third and fourth leg members extending downward from the upper ends toward the lower ends at angles such that the second front surface and the second rear surface angle away from each other from the upper ends toward the lower ends;
an elongated channel member that extends between first and second ends, the elongated channel member having a top and a bottom, the channel member including first and second side walls that form first and second external surfaces, the first external surface extending between the first and second ends and between a first top end and a first bottom end that are adjacent the top and bottom of the channel member, respectively, the second external surface extending between the first and second ends and between a second top end and a second bottom end that are adjacent the top and bottom of the channel member, respectively, the channel member forming at least a first channel between the first and second side walls that extends along the length of the channel member, at least one of the first and second side walls forming an opening, the first and second side walls forming first and second substantially flat external surfaces, the first and second external surfaces angling away from each other from the top end toward the bottom end; and
a power outlet mounted within the opening;
wherein, the first and second ends of the channel member are coupled to and supported by the first and second leg subassemblies with the first external surface formed by the first side wall substantially parallel to the first and second rear surfaces and the second external surface formed by the second side wall substantially parallel to the first and second front surfaces.
