Benefits of technology

[0007] An objective of the present invention is to provide a pallet comprising a leg assembly with improved strength.

Problems solved by technology

However, the forks of the forklift could not be inserted into the paper pallet 90 along a transverse direction, causing limitation to operation of the forklift.
To provide openings in the transverse direction of the paper pallet 90, each leg 92 is divided into a plurality of separate leg units, leading to a decrease in the strength of the legs and undesired easy disengagement of the legs.

Embodiment Construction

[0025]FIG. 2 illustrates an embodiment of a pallet in accordance with the present invention. The pallet comprises a top plate 10 and a leg assembly fixed below the top plate 10. The top plate 10 is substantially square or rectangular and may be formed by bonding a plurality of sheets of corrugated paper or thick paper. Cargo or the like is placed on a top side of the top plate 10. The leg assembly is also made of corrugated paper or thick paper. It is, however, noted that the top plate 10 and the leg assembly of the pallet can be made of any other suitable material.

[0026] Referring to FIGS. 2 through 4, the leg assembly comprises a bottom plate 20 and a plurality of supporting blocks 31, 32, and 33. The bottom plate 50 defines a plurality of compartments (not labeled) for receiving the supporting blocks 31, 32, and 33. In the illustrated embodiment, the bottom plate 20 comprises three receiving sections 21, 22, and 23 spaced from one another by a longitudinal space (not labeled). E...
