发明名称 Modular pallet system
摘要 A modular pallet system is definable in terms of an xyz Cartesian matrix. The system includes a bottom element having a xy plane primary surface and integrally dependent positive z-axis prongs substantially at each of x and y axis edges of the primary surface, each of the prongs having first integral complemental engagement at their ends. The system further includes a top element having a rectilinear primary surface having opposing x and y axis edges, the surface positionable in a second xy plane above the first xy plane of the bottom element, the top element having integrally dependent negative z-axis prongs projecting from each of the x and y axis edges of the second xy plane thereof, each of the prongs terminating with second integral complemental engagement elements. The pallet system further includes hollow box-like z-axis separators having pairs of opposing xz and yz walls on interior surfaces of the walls including elements for snap-fittable securement with outer surfaces of the second complemental engagement elements of the prongs of the top element. Yet further included is a base layer comprising x-axis and y-axis linear offset members for defining x and y axis dimensions between pluralities of the separators. The system also includes a top layer positionable in the xy plane of the top element, such layer having openings therein proportioned for engagement between edges of the top element and top edges of the box-like separators. Upon interlock of opposing surfaces of the complemental engagement elements of the top and bottom elements within the volume defined by the separators, and the interlock of outer surfaces of the engagement elements of the prongs of the top element to the snap-fittable interlock elements of the separators, a structure having rigid xy, xz and yz planes is defined.
