Patent ID: 7722005

Claim:
A pedestal which comprises (1) a pedestal base having an upper surface which defines at least two pairs of open channels, each pair of open channels being sized and spaced so that horizontal straight support member of constant cross section can be slidably filled into the pair of channels so that the position of each support member can be changed by sliding the support member horizontally within the channels, with a midsection of the support member lying between the open channels and having an open space underneath it, and the pairs of channels being placed on the upper surface so that, when a straight support member is fitted into each pair of channels, the support members are parallel to each other; and (2) at least two horizontal support members, each support member being slidably fitted into one of the pairs of channels in the upper surface of the pedestal base so that its position can be changed by sliding it horizontally within the channels with a midsection of the support member lying between the open channels and having an open space underneath it and with end sections of the support members extending beyond the channels and having an open space underneath each end section, and the support members having top surfaces which lie in a single horizontal plane which is higher than the upper surface of the pedestal base.
