Abstract

Abstract A throw-away loading pallet made from fibre board and having cardboard tubular supports serving as feet, the supports being interconnected by fibre board strips to strengthen them. The tubular supports at one end are secured to the pallet and at their opposite end to the connecting strips by sinking their ends in blind annular openings, with all contact surfaces being glued. The result is a light-weight cheap pallet of unusual strength, which can be recycled as waste pulp.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 202 words
A throw-away loading pallet made from fiber board and having cardboard tubular supports serving as feet comprising a flat fiber board deck, a plurality of rows of blind annular milled recesses formed in the underside of said deck, the depth of the recesses exceeding one-half the deck thickness, a fiber board reinforcing strip for each said row of recesses in alignment therewith, an annular milled recess formed in the top side of said strips opposite each of said recesses in the deck and having like dimensions to said deck recesses, a plurality of tubular posts open at each end and made of cardboard, one end of said posts being pressed into a recess in the deck and the other open end being pressed into the opposing recess in the reinforcing strip to the full depths of said annular recesses such that said deck and strip contact both the outer and inner surfaces of said tubular posts at their respective ends over a length exceeding said one-half thickness, and the ends of said posts contact the surface in the bottom of said recesses, and all said contact surfaces between said posts and the receiving recesses in the deck and reinforcing strips being glued.
