Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides a plastic pallet with a reliable structure that overcomes the drawbacks of prior art. The plastic pallet has a load-supporting platform with top and bottom faces, and a plurality of spaced-apart supporting legs extending downwardly from the platform. Reinforcing webs are also included, each disposed between two adjacent supporting legs. Each supporting leg has a surrounding wall with a first receiving groove that opens at the top face of the platform. Each reinforcing web has two spaced-apart web plates with opposite connecting ends connected integrally and respectively as one piece with the surrounding walls of the two adjacent supporting legs. The second receiving groove opens at the top face of the platform. This design provides a more stable and reliable plastic pallet for use in various applications."

Problems solved by technology

However, as shown in FIG. 3, when the plastic pallet 1 is placed across two spaced-apart steel bars 51 of a storage rack, since only the supporting legs 11 that are disposed on left and right sides of the platform 12 support the platform 12, the platform 12 deforms and sags easily when loaded with the goods 3 because its structure is insufficiently rigid.

Embodiment Construction

[0018]Before the present invention is described in greater detail, it should be noted that the same reference numerals have been used to denote like elements throughout the specification.

[0019]Referring to FIGS. 4 to 7, a plastic pallet 2 according to the first preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown to comprise a load-supporting platform 23, nine spaced-apart supporting legs 21, and four reinforcing webs 22.

[0020]The load-supporting platform 23 has a top face 201, and a bottom face 202 provided with a pattern including a plurality of reinforcing ribs 232 and grooves 231 between the reinforcing ribs 232 for strengthening the structure of the platform 23.

[0021]The supporting legs 21 are arranged in three rows on the platform 23 with three supporting legs 21 in each row, and extend downwardly from and are connected integrally as one piece with the load-supporting platform 23. Each supporting leg 21 includes a surrounding wall 211 tapering downwardly from the platform 23...

Abstract

A plastic pallet includes a load-supporting platform having top and bottom faces, a plurality of spaced-apart supporting legs each including a surrounding wall that defines a first receiving groove and that has a top end extending to the top face of the platform, and a plurality of reinforcing webs each disposed between two adjacent ones of the supporting legs and each including two spaced-apart web plates cooperatively defining a second receiving groove that communicates spatially with the first receiving grooves in the two adjacent supporting legs. The web plates respectively have top ends extending to the top face of the platform. Each web plate has two opposite connecting ends connected integrally and respectively as one piece with the surrounding walls of the two adjacent supporting legs. Each of the first and second receiving grooves opens at the top face of the platform.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority of Taiwanese Application No. 098210835, filed on Jun. 17, 2009.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]This invention relates to a plastic pallet, more particularly to a plastic pallet having reinforcing webs.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3, a conventional plastic pallet 1 includes a load-supporting platform 12, and nine spaced-apart supporting legs 11 connected integrally as one piece with the platform 12. Each supporting leg 11 has a receiving groove 111 opening at a top face of the platform 12. When the plastic pallet 1 is placed on a level surface, the supporting legs 11 can provide complete and uniform support of the platform 12, so that goods 3 placed on the platform 12 can be supported stably.[0006]However, as shown in FIG. 3, when the plastic pallet 1 is placed across two spaced-apart steel bars 51 of a storage rack, since only the suppo...
