Abstract
Abstract A pallet is made of a substantially rectangular corrugated fiberboard, so that it has a loading surface region, two end cleats extended from two edges of the loading surface region which are in parallel with the longitudinal axis of the corrugated fiberboard, and at least one V-shaped supporting beam formed at each end of the lower surface of the loading surface region. A bottomless corrugated fiberboard container is placed on the pallet in such a manner that the lower end portion of the container is between the end cleats. The lower end portion of the container is bonded to the end cleats, or is detachably secured to the end cleat, so as to form a packaging box wherein a separable pallet forms the bottom of the box.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
161 words
A packaging box with a pallet comprising a substantially one-piece rectangular foldable member including a main rectangular panel defining a loading surface region having top and bottom surfaces, two end edges and two side edges, end cleats extending along said two side edges of said loading surface region, a plurality of foldable panels extending parallel to each of said two end edges defining a V-shaped support beam on the bottom surface of said main panel adjacent each end edge and two end panels being bonded to the lower surface of said main panel and said end cleats being disposed perpendicular to the upper surface of said main panel; a bottomless container disposed on said pallet in such a manner that a lower end portion of the container is disposed between said end cleats and means for connecting said lower end portion to said end cleats whereby the upper surface of said main panel forms an interior bottom surface of said container.
