Abstract
Abstract A disposable pallet comprises a base plate (1) of corrugated cardboard and a plurality of block-shaped feet (2) situated on the bottom side of the base plate (1). Each block-shaped foot (2) is made of a strong corrugated cardboard and is substantially solid, said foot comprising a substantially planar laminate including at least ten layers (3a, 3b, 3c, ..) of corrugated cardboard situated substantially perpendicular to the base plate (1). Compared to the main dimension (H) of the base plate (1) the block-shaped foot (2) is of a relatively small height (h), i.e. 1,5 to 3,5 per cent of "H". A typical range of values for "h" is 15-35 mm. The pallet is very simple and strong and furthermore very inexpensive.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
184 words
A pallet preferably a disposable pallet of the type comprising a base plate (1) of corrugated cardboard and a plurality of block-shaped feet (2), also of corrugated cardboard and situated on the bottom side of the base plate, each block-shaped foot (2) being made of a strong corrugated cardboard and being substantially solid as it consists of a substantially planar laminate having at least ten single layers of corrugated cardboard (3a, 3b, 3c, ..) arranged substantially perpendicular to the base plate (1) such that small channels (5a, 5b, 5c) of at least a part of the layers of corrugated cardboard of each block-shaped foot (2) extend substantially perpendicular to the base plate (1), characterized in that the block-shaped feet are of a height (h) of approximately 15-35 mm, in that the corrugated cardboard used for the laminate (3a, 3b, 3c) of the block-shaped feet (2) is of a type of a weight in the range 140-180 g/m², preferably 160 g/m², and in that the block-shaped feet (2) are glued directly and exclusively onto the base plate (1) by means of a single-component latex glue.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
36 words
A pallet as claimed in claim 1 characterized in that the height (h) of the block-shaped foot (2) is 1,5 to 3,5 per cent of the main dimension ( H ) of the base plate (1).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
36 words
A pallet as claimed in claims 1 or 2, characterized in that at least part of the pallet, preferably the block-shaped feet (2), is coated and/or impregnated with a water-repellent agent, such as wax or plastics.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
57 words
A pallet as claimed in any of claims 1 to 3, characterized in that one or more very thin layers (4 a , 4 b , 4 c ) of plastic foam, preferably polyvinyl chloride (fig. 3) form(s) part of the laminate (3 a , 3 b , 3 c , ..) of the block-shaped feet (2).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
39 words
A pallet as claimed in one or more of the preceding claims 1 to 4, characterized in that the bottom side of the block-shaped feet (2) is covered by a cover face (6) for instance cardboard or corrugated cardboard.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
57 words
A pallet as claimed in one or more of the preceding claims 1 to 5, characterized in that one or several thin metal wires (8', 8") extend around each block-shaped foot (2) so as to hold together the layers (3 a , 3 b , 3 c , ..) of corrugated cardboard when said layers are loaded.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
71 words
A pallet as claimed in one or more of the preceding claims 1 to 6, characterized in that the layers (10, 11) of corrugated cardboard in each block-shaped foot are crossed, the small grooves (10 a , 10 b , 10 c ) of each layer of corrugated board being situated substantially perpendicular to the small grooves (11 a , 11 b ) of the neighboring layer (22) of corrugated cardboard.
