A tubular member 42 is provided as a supporting foot 40. Several cuts 43, arranged crosswise to one another, are arranged at the points of a flat pallet top 35 and pallet runners 36, which the end surface of the tubular member 42 adjoins. The free ends of these cuts 43 lie on a line 41 corresponding to the internal contour of the tubular member 42. With segments 44 formed by the cuts 43 folded, an inner tubular member 45 is clampingly inserted into the tubular member 42 forming the supporting foot. The apparatus for making such pallets has a piercing die 1, with a shaft 2 for holding the inner tubular member 45 forming the pallet foot. Arranged on the end surface are several cutting edges 4 provided in star-shaped arrangement. The piercing die cuts the flat top and forces in the inner tubular member 45. A multidie machine is shown in Fig 8. <IMAGE> |
