Abstract:
1. A substantially planar support member which is suitable for use as a horizontal support member in a pedestal and which comprises (1) an upper member which has a substantially continuous planar upper surface, (2) a lower member which has a substantially continuous planar lower surface, and (3) a substantially continuous peripheral member which secures the upper and lower, members together, the upper and lower members and the peripheral member defining between them an interior volume which extends over at least part of the area defined by the periphery of the support member, and whose density is substantially smaller than the density of the upper and lower members, and at least one of the upper and lower surfaces comprising a conformation which is selected from the group consisting of (i) depressions which extend inwards from the upper surface or the lower surface but at least part of which does not extend through to the opposite surface and (ii) projections which extend outwards from the upper surface or the lower surface; wherein the upper member substantially continuous planar upper surface comprises one or more depressions, and the lower member substantially continuous planar lower surface comprises one or more depressions.
