Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
129 words
A load supporting pallet comprising a one-piece base element and formed with spaced parallel channels extending in one dimension and having a cargo carrying deck, a pair of longitudinally extending spaced cutouts in each of said channels, the cutouts in each pair being parallelly disposed and aligned, in combination with first rigid reinforcing strips positioned on the under side of the base and extending through each of the parallelly disposed longitudinal cutouts from each of the lateral edges of the base, second rigid reinforcing strips extending transversely from the front to the back edges of the base and against the lower face thereof, said second reinforcing strips positioned under said cargo carrying deck and between each of said channels, and the base element and reinforcing strips being secured together.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
129 words
A load supporting pallet comprising a one-piece base element and formed with spaced parallel channels extending in one dimension and having a cargo carrying deck, a pair of longitudinally extending spaced cutouts in each of said channels, the cutouts in each pair being parallelly disposed and aligned, in combination with first rigid reinforcing strips positioned on the under side of the base and extending through each of the parallelly disposed longitudinal cutouts from each of the lateral edges of the base, second rigid reinforcing strips extending transversely from the front to the back edges of the base and against the lower face thereof, said second reinforcing strips positioned under said cargo carrying deck and between each of said channels, and the base element and reinforcing strips being secured together.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
151 words
A load supporting pallet comprising a one-piece base element structured from layers of thin material laminated together and formed with spaced parallel channels extending in one dimension and having a cargo carrying deck, a pair of longitudinally extending spaced cutouts in each of said channels, the cutouts in each pair being parallelly disposed and aligned, in combination with first rigid reinforcing strips of the same material as the base positioned on the under side of the base and extending through each of the parallelly disposed longitudinal cutouts from each of the lateral edges of the base, second rigid reinforcing strips of the same material as the base extending transversely from the front to the back edges of the base and against the lower face thereof, said second reinforcing strips positioned under said cargo carrying deck and between each of said channels, and the base element and reinforcing strips being secured together.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
151 words
