Abstract
Abstract A skid pallet comprises a frame having skid runners thereon, a tongue pivotally connected to the frame for pivotal movement about a horizontal axis, and a pressure bracket connected to the tongue at a point spaced from the horizontal axis. The pressure bracket extends downwardly from the tongue a sufficient distance to protrude below the skid runners when the tongue moves from an elevated position toward a lowered position so that the pressure bracket will engage the ground and provide a leverage fulcrum for lifting the runners in response to lowering of the tongue about the horizontal axis.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
158 words
A skid pallet comprising, a frame having skid runners thereof for sliding supporting engagement with the ground; a tongue pivotally connected to said frame for pivotal movement about a horizontal axis from an elevated to a lowered position, said tongue having a strut member rigidly connected thereto; a pressure bracket movably mounted on said strut member of said tongue, at a point spaced from said horizontal axis by a sleeve surrounding said strut member for movement from an operative position wherein said pressure bracket protrudes downwardly from said tongue to an inoperative position free from engagement with the ground; and said pressure bracket extending downwardly from said tongue a sufficient distance to protrude below said skid runners when said tongue moves from said inoperative position towards said operative position whereby said pressure bracket will engage the ground and provide a leverage fulcrum for lifting said runners in response to lowering of said tongue about its said horizontal axis.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
158 words
A skid pallet comprising, a frame having skid runners thereof for sliding supporting engagement with the ground; a tongue pivotally connected to said frame for pivotal movement about a horizontal axis from an elevated to a lowered position, said tongue having a strut member rigidly connected thereto; a pressure bracket movably mounted on said strut member of said tongue, at a point spaced from said horizontal axis by a sleeve surrounding said strut member for movement from an operative position wherein said pressure bracket protrudes downwardly from said tongue to an inoperative position free from engagement with the ground; and said pressure bracket extending downwardly from said tongue a sufficient distance to protrude below said skid runners when said tongue moves from said inoperative position towards said operative position whereby said pressure bracket will engage the ground and provide a leverage fulcrum for lifting said runners in response to lowering of said tongue about its said horizontal axis.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
32 words
A skid pallet according to claim 1 wherein a lock means is mounted on said strut member for selectively engaging and locking said pressure bracket in said operative and said inoperative positions.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
16 words
