Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
143 words
A selectively sizable pallet for use in handling loads of cargo, said pallet comprising a plurality of adjacently positioned substantially flat rectangular sections disposed in side by side relation, each section having a planar lower support surface and edges defining a fixed dimension corresponding to a length and width of a load to be selected, each of said sections having portions spaced from portions of an adjacent section a sufficient amount to permit circulation of air between the load, flexible means interconnected between said sections extending along lines at angles to said edges, said means having a high tensile strength and a low shear strength whereby the sections may be easily separated by severing the said flexible means between a pair of adjacent sections in response to one of said sections with a load thereon being lifted with respect to the adjacent sections.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
