Abstract
A pallet assembly including a plurality of trays separated by supports is provided. Each of the supports includes a rectangular portion and a wing portion. The wing portion is formed from two layers of materials connected together by a locking tab or other suitable structures. The wing portion can include a first portion and a second portion at an angle with respect to the first portion. A tab can be used to facilitate placing the first portion of the wing at the angle with respect to the second portion of the wing.
Claims20
A pallet assembly comprising:
- a first tray having a rectangular support surface;
- a first support extending upward from the support surface, the first support including a wing portion having a first planar panel having a first locking tab and a second planar panel locked to the first planar panel by the first locking tab;
- an end segment connected to the first planar panel of the wing portion of the first support, the end segment extending at a non-zero angle with respect to the first planar panel;
- and,
- a positioning tab for positioning the end segment connected to the first planar panel of the wing of the first support.
A pallet assembly comprising:
- a first tray having a rectangular support surface and a plurality of foldable panels along each side of the support surface for forming side walls, at least a first foldable panel of the plurality of foldable panels having a top edge formed from a double score wherein each line of the double score is slightly curved;
- and,
- a plurality of supports extending upward from the support surface above the top edge of the first foldable panel.
A pallet assembly comprising:
- a first tray having a rectangular support surface;
- and,
- a first support extending upward from the support surface, the first support including a wing portion having a first planar panel having a first locking tab and a second planar panel locked to the first planar panel by the first locking tab wherein the first support includes a corner post connected to a first side of the first planar panel and positioned in a first corner of the support surface and wherein the corner post has a rectangular configuration formed from four panels.
A pallet assembly comprising:
- a first tray having a rectangular support surface;
- and,
- a first support extending upward from the support surface, the first support including a wing portion having a first planar panel having a first locking tab and a second planar panel locked to the first planar panel by the first locking tab wherein the first planar panel includes a second locking tab spaced from the first locking tab for locking the second planar panel to the first planar panel.
