COLLAPSIBLE INTEGRATED PALLET SYSTEM.

摘要

The collapsible shipping pallet incorporates a substantially planar deck (12) with multiple stringers (14) removably attached to the bottom of the deck. Shouldered holes (22) arranged in linear spaced relation at predetermined stringer attachment locations on the deck engage resilient slotted pins (24) extending from a top edge each stringer. Multiple slats (16), each extending perpendicularly to the stringers and removably received in a relief on a bottom edge of each stringer are attached to the stringers also using resilient slotted pins. The stringers support triangular jaws (78, 80) inserted in triangular recesses (82) in an end portion of the stringer to receive and restrain pallet straps. An aperture (100) in the side of the stringer allows insertion of a slotted crank to tension the pallet straps. The deck incorporates slots (132) adapted to receive keys (134) to extend above the surface of the deck engaging receiving slots in a first layer of stacking boxes.
