Abstract
Abstract A load carrying pallet having a platform and a plurality of runners beneath the platform. The platform and all runners are made of composite comprising a corrugation of sheet material with crests and troughs. The troughs are filled with buttresses, and a skin layer of linear reinforcing strands is laid on this combination. All is bonded together to form a monolithic composite.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
135 words
A load-carrying pallet comprising: a platform and a plurality of runners beneath said platform and attached to it, said platform and runners being constructed of composites bonded together, said platform and each runner comprising: a corrugation of sheet material, said corrugation having longitudinally extending crests and troughs, buttresses filling said troughs and abutting said corrugation so as to give support to the corrugation against lateral collapse, said buttresses having a boundary, a reinforcement member on said boundary, said reinforcement member being a sheet material having substantial tensile strength, and a skin layer forming a surface on said composite, said skin surface including a plurality of linear reinforcing fibers strands laid in the direction of the crests, all of said sheet material, buttresses, skin surface layer and strands being bonded together to form a monolithic composite.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
135 words
A load-carrying pallet comprising: a platform and a plurality of runners beneath said platform and attached to it, said platform and runners being constructed of composites bonded together, said platform and each runner comprising: a corrugation of sheet material, said corrugation having longitudinally extending crests and troughs, buttresses filling said troughs and abutting said corrugation so as to give support to the corrugation against lateral collapse, said buttresses having a boundary, a reinforcement member on said boundary, said reinforcement member being a sheet material having substantial tensile strength, and a skin layer forming a surface on said composite, said skin surface including a plurality of linear reinforcing fibers strands laid in the direction of the crests, all of said sheet material, buttresses, skin surface layer and strands being bonded together to form a monolithic composite.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
A pallet according to claim 1 in which said sheet material comprises randomly-laid, bonded-together glass fibers.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
A pallet according to claim 1 in which said buttresses are formed from an initially fluid plastic material penetrated into said sheet materials and cured to a solid.
