Abstract
Abstract A combined pallet is completed by attaching one after another a plurality of pallet units and an end unit. The pallet unit is molded to form a rectangular board member and at least three attachments arranged in spaced relation below the board member. Each attachment has a substantially cylindrical side wall extending downwardly from bottom surface of the board member to define a chamber, a neck member extending laterally from one side of the socket member and a projection attached to outer end of the neck member. Said pallet units are combined by sequentially mounting socket members of a pallet unit onto corresponding projections and neck member of its following pallet unit and the end unit is then attached to the last pallet unit.
