CONFIGURABLE, DETACHABLE AND RECYCLABLE PALLET

摘要

A configurable pallet that can be readily assembled to match the particular load requirements of an application. The pallet includes structural elongated platform members 10; 10′ used in different configurations with either leg members 30 or reinforcement structural beams 20. Platform members 10′ include conical protuberances 14′; 16′ that are receivable within cooperating frustoconical openings 14; 16 or 14a; 16a that keep the structural members in place and perpendicularly to each other, in addition to the use of fastening members. When reinforcement beams 20 are used, the structural integrity of the pallet is enhanced to reduce the stress/relaxation wear thereby preventing or minimizing the possibilities of disengagement. A diaphragm plate 225 is optionally used to enhance the structural stability of beam 20.

主权项

1. A pallet, comprising:
A) at least two elongated structural platform first members, each having two end sides, two lateral sides, an upper side and an underside, said first members are kept at a parallel and spaced apart relationship with respect to each other; B) at least two elongated structural platform second members, each having two end sides, two lateral sides, an upper side and an underside, said first members are kept at a parallel and spaced apart relationship with respect to each other, and at least two of said first members and at least two of said second members mounted to each other at their respective first and second ends to form a structure having a rectangular projection; and C) at least four leg members removably mounted to said underside of said first members thereby keeping said pallet at a substantially parallel and spaced apart relationship with respect to a resting surface.
