The invention relates to a piece of furniture (30), comprising at least one support rod (10) and at least one first plate (20), on which the support rod or support rods (10) can be installed. The first plate (20) has one or more first openings (21). Into each of said first openings (21), a support rod (10) can be inserted at one end (11) thereof, and each of the support rods (10) can be mounted perpendicular on the first plate (20). The support rod (10) has a star-shaped axially symmetric cross-section (13), which is tapered at the one end (11) facing the first plate (20). The shape of the first openings (21) is adapted to the star-shaped cross-section (13) of the support rod (10), preferably in such a way that the shape of the first openings is designed similarly to the star-shaped cross-section (13) of the support rod (10). Furthermore, at least one second opening (23) is provided, which is located in a second plate (22) parallel to and behind the first opening (21) in the first plate (20) in the insertion direction (15) of the support rod (10), the second opening (23) preferably being similar to but smaller than the first opening (21). The support rod (10) can be inserted by means of the one end (11) thereof into the first opening (21) and into the second opening (23) in a plurality of orientations, which arise by rotation of the support rod (10) about the center axis, the insertion producing a mounted state (30.1). The invention now proposes that the support rod (10) comprises electrical conducting tracks (40), by means of which a load (18), which is provided indirectly or directly on the support rod (10), can be supplied with electrical energy, electrical contact points (41) being provided on the one end (11) of the support rod (10) in order to supply the electrical conducting tracks (40) with electrical energy. Furthermore, a printed circuit board (50) is provided, which has counter electrical contact points (51, 52), which can be brought into operative connection with the electrical contact points (41), the printed circuit board (50) being designed in such a way that the contacting between the electrical contact points (41) and the counter electrical contact points (51, 52) occurs by insertion of the support rod (10) into the first opening (21) and the second opening (23) irrespective of the orienta

A dish caddy includes base and top members and a least one vertical supporting rod connecting the base to the top member. The supporting rod includes a hand grip and dish holders distributed at multiple levels along the supporting rod such that a user's hand does not interfere with dishes or food carried within the dish caddy. The dish holders may include notches carved into the supporting rod for accepting an edge of a dish such as a plate. Pivot arms and doors may hold the dishes within the notches during food transport. The dish holders may include top and bottom pressure pads and the distance between the pads on each individual dish holder may be user-adjustable to accommodate different sized dishes. The top and bottom pressure pads may be coupled by a gear system allowing the distance between the pads on a particular dish holder to be dynamically adjusted.

Furthermore, a printed circuit board (50) is provided, which has counter electrical contact points (51, 52), which can be brought into operative connection with the electrical contact points (41), the printed circuit board (50) being designed in such a way that the contacting between the electrical contact points (41) and the counter electrical contact points (51, 52) occurs by insertion of the support rod (10) into the first opening (21) and the second opening (23) irrespective of the orienta

A device for stacking, displaying, and serving one or more food items is disclosed. The device may include a base. The device may also include a shaft. The shaft may include at least a first end and a second end. The first end may be removably coupled with the base. The second end may be configured to connect with a removable cap. The device may also include a plurality of stacker pieces. Each stacker piece of the plurality of stacker pieces may be configured to support a food item along positions of the shaft. Each stacker piece may include a support member and a protrusion. The protrusion may have a diameter greater than the diameter of the shaft such that the protrusion is configured to surround the shaft. The support member may include at least one of a bowl, a spoke, a cake pop holder, a disk, or a plate.

A curtain airbag device mounting structure includes: a first pillar forming a part of a front pillar and extends substantially along a vehicle height direction; a second pillar forming another part of the front pillar, the second pillar being disposed on a rear side of a vehicle relative to the first pillar at a predetermined distance from the first pillar and extending substantially along the vehicle height direction; a transparent member bridged between the first pillar and the second pillar; and a curtain airbag device including a curtain airbag stored along a roof side rail and the second pillar, the curtain airbag being configured to inflate and deploy in a curtain-like fashion over a side portion of a cabin of the vehicle in case of a collision of the vehicle.

The stand may be manually assembled without requiring tools. Two-points of contact are made between a horizontal support bar and respective upper and lower vertical posts in order to help resist vibration of the stand and the fan. Side clips are used to hold the fan. The side clips are slideable along a longitudinal length of the upper vertical posts. The side clips selectively grip the upper vertical posts at positions along a longitudinal length of the posts.

Display pedestals comprise at least one generally planar horizontal support member, and at least one vertical column. The top surface and/or the bottom surface of the support member has least one depression or at least one projection, and at least one vertical column fits to the depression or projection. Multiple columns may be arranged in, and rotatable and detachable in, pillars that support multiple top and intermediate support members, so that the pedestal is modular and adjustable by rotation into many different configurations.
