Interlocking interference-fit post system for interconnecting thermoplastic platforms

摘要

A thermoplastic resin molded post system for joining two thermoplastic molded platforms by means of interference fitting a single cell post half protruding from the inner side of a top platform with a single cell post half protruding from the inner side of a bottom platform, each post half having walls asymmetrically stepped to create a male-female fitting when joined, each post half having a convex round at its free edge and a concave round where the wall is stepped wherein the convex round of the free edge and the concave round of the post half protruding from the underside of the top platform correspondingly engage the concave and the convex rounds of the protrusion form the inner side of the bottom platform. Also, a thermoplastic resin molded pallet employing the interconnecting post system described above.
