Abstract
A pallet and more particularly a pallet formed of resinlike material having: a unitary working surface configuration to captively carry selected ones of a plurality of varying diameter annular members thereon; unitary peripheral vertical walls and intermediate vertical walls arranged to transfer load directly between the spaced working walls at areas of maximum load concentration; and unitary struts extending transversely between adjacent vertical walls to inhibit transverse deflection of the pallet.
Claims3
A reversible pallet formed for resinlike material comprising:
- a first wall adapted to receive a load thereon;
- a second wall adapted to receive a load thereon, vertically spaced from said first wall and extending in a plane generally parallel thereto;
- a substantially vertical wall extending substantially continuously between said first and second walls adjacent the respective outer peripheries thereof;
- at least one elongated vertically aligned opening in said first and second wall intermediate said outer peripheries thereof;
- an integrally formed substantially vertical load transfer wall extending continuously between said first and second walls adjacent the peripheries of each of said openings;
- stiffening means extending transversely between the longitudinal sides of at least some of said load transfer walls in a direction substantially normal to the longitudinal extent thereof;
- and said stiffening means for said at least some of said load transfer walls comprising a plurality of struts integrally formed with and longitudinally spaced along the longitudinal extent of the sides of the respective load transfer wall and located intermediate the upper and lower sides of said respective load transfer wall.
