Embodiment Construction

[0026] Such as figure 1 and figure 2 As shown, the polystyrene core 10 has the general shape of a rectangular slab with edges 12 ( figure 1 ), the width 14 of the end face 12 is about 1 and 3 / 4 inches. The inner core 10 has a smooth top surface 16 with a length of about 48 inches and a width of about 40 inches. Bottom surface 18 ( figure 2 ) includes a plurality of legs 20-28. These feet protrude from the bottom surface 18 about 4 inches.

[0027] The end face 12 is adjacent marginal spaces 42 , 44 , 46 , 48 on the bottom face 18 . Edge spacings 42, 44, 46, 48 separate legs 26-28, legs 20, 23, 26, legs 20-22 and legs 22, 25, 28 from end face 12, respectively.

[0028] Since the inner core 10 is made of polystyrene, it does not have sufficient structural strength for carrying the platform. By compounding the area near the surface of the inner core 10 with highly impact resistant polystyrene, a dunnage platform of sufficient strength can be formed. Both expanded polyst...

Abstract

A platform pallet is composed of a plate and several supporting legs arranged under the plate. Said plate is composed of a core plate made of foam polystyrene and two surficial plates made of impact-resistant polystyrene.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates generally to the field of load-bearing structures, and more particularly to a load-bearing structure made of an expanded polystyrene core compounded with highly impact-resistant polystyrene. Background technique [0002] A shipping pallet is a well-known movable platform-like load-bearing structure on which cargo for shipment is placed. Pallets often carry different items, such as cartons or boxes. Loaded pallets can be moved by pallet truck or forklift. [0003] Pallets are a $9 billion market in the United States. It has a market of 30 billion US dollars in the world. Ninety percent of pallets in these markets are made of wood. [0004] Wooden pallets weigh between 40 lbs and 70 lbs. Therefore, in order to use wooden pallets, the weight of goods transported on them has to be reduced by 40 to 70 pounds. [0005] It should be known that people who move wooden pallets are often injured by wood splinters and nails. ...
