Paper pallet

Abstract

A pallet includes a top plate, a bottom plate fixed below the main plate, and a plurality of spaces mounted below a general plane of the bottom plate. The top plate includes a main section and two enveloping sections respectively on two sides of the main section of the top plate. A protective folding section is provided between each enveloping section and the main section of the top plate. At least one reinforcing plate is sandwiched between the main section of the top plate and the enveloping sections of the top plate. The protective folding sections form front and rear edges of the pallet, preventing damage to the pallet during use.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a pallet. In particular, the present invention relates to a paper pallet. [0003] 2. Description of the Related Art [0004] Paper pallets are more widely used than conventional wooden pallets and metal pallets, as the paper pallets are light, inexpensive, and recyclable. FIG. 1 of the drawings illustrates a typical paper pallet made of corrugated paper and comprising a top plate 90 and a bottom plate 92 supporting the top plate. After cargo is placed on the top plate 90, the cargo is tied up with a strip made of, e.g., polyethylene. However, the strip in a tightened state is apt to bite a front edge 91 and a rear edge of the top plate 90, resulting in damage to the paper pallet and even falling of the cargo. Further, the damaged front and rear edges 91 might cause injury to the workers. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0005] An objective of the present invention is to provide a pallet that wo...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0005] An objective of the present invention is to provide a pallet that would not be damaged during use.

[0007] The top plate includes a main section and two enveloping sections respectively on two sides of the main section of the top plate. A protective folding section is provided between each enveloping section and the main section of the top plate. At least one reinforcing plate is sandwiched between the main section of the top plate and the enveloping sections of the top plate. The protective folding sections form front and rear edges of the pallet, preventing damage to the pallet during use.

[0009] In a further embodiment, the bottom plate includes a main section and two enveloping sections respectively on two sides of the main section of the bottom plate. A protective folding section is provided between each enveloping section and the main section of the bottom plate. The main section of the bottom plate is mounted below the enveloping sections of the top plate. Each enveloping section is sandwiched between the reinforcing plate and the main section of the top plate. The protective folding sections of the bottom plate form left and right edges of the pallet, preventing damage to the pallet during use.

Problems solved by technology

However, the strip in a tightened state is apt to bite a front edge 91 and a rear edge of the top plate 90, resulting in damage to the paper pallet and even falling of the cargo.

Further, the damaged front and rear edges 91 might cause injury to the workers.
