SHIELDED PALLET

摘要

A pallet comprised of a first deck, a second deck, a dampening device and a shield. The first deck includes an interior surface, an exterior surface and an edge. The second deck includes an interior surface. The dampening device located between the interior surface of the first deck and the interior surface of the second deck. The dampening device configured to contract to counteract a compression force when the first deck and the second deck are pressed together and further configured to deform to counteract an expansive force when the first deck and the second deck are pulled apart. The shield having a first planar member adjacent to the exterior surface of the first deck opposite the dampening device and a second planar member extending from the first planar member to the interior surface of the second deck and adjacent to the edge of the first deck.

1. A pallet comprising:
a first deck having a first interior surface, an exterior surface and an edge; a second deck having a second interior surface facing the first interior surface of the first deck; a dampening device between the first interior surface of the first deck and the second interior surface of the second deck configured to contract to counteract a compression force when the first deck and the second deck are pressed together and further configured to deform to counteract an expansive force when the first deck and the second deck are pulled apart; a first shield including:
a first planar member adjacent to the exterior surface of the first deck opposite the dampening device, anda second planar member extending from the first planar member to the second interior surface of the second deck and adjacent to the edge of the first deck; and a second shield including:
a third planar member that is offset from the second planar member in a horizontal direction, the horizontal direction substantially parallel to the first and second interior surfaces.
