Piece of furniture having at least one support rod

Abstract

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 orientation of the support rod (10).
