Ceramic Pallet Support with Mesh Walls

The patent applies a mesh structure with hollow interconnected rings instead of solid material, creating a porous configuration that provides structural strength while significantly reducing material consumption and weight. The mesh pattern distributes loads across multiple connection points, maintaining resistance to horizontal sliding efforts without the mass penalty of solid construction.

The support device combines different geometric elements (triangular configuration with mesh patterning) to create a composite structural system that leverages the strengths of both configurations. The triangular outer framework provides overall structural integrity while the internal mesh pattern adds strength-to-weight efficiency, creating a hybrid structure that resolves the contradiction between strength and weight.

The patent applies mesh patterning selectively to specific regions of the support structure where weight reduction is most beneficial, while maintaining solid or reinforced configurations in areas requiring maximum strength. This localized application of different structural qualities allows the device to achieve optimal balance between weight and resistance to horizontal sliding efforts.

The mesh structure introduces a two-dimensional patterned configuration that distributes forces across multiple planes and directions. By transforming from a simple one-dimensional rod connection to a two-dimensional mesh network, the structure gains increased resistance to horizontal sliding efforts while maintaining low weight, as the distributed geometry provides multiple load paths.

The patent divides the connection structure into multiple discrete mesh elements rather than using single slender rods. This segmentation creates a network of interconnected components that distribute mechanical loads across many small elements, preventing any single point of failure and significantly improving reliability while maintaining the weight advantages of slender individual elements.

The patent merges multiple slender rod elements into an integrated mesh structure where the rods are interconnected to form a unified load-bearing system. This combining transforms individually fragile elements into a collectively robust structure, where the interconnected geometry provides mutual support and prevents deformation that would occur in isolated slender rods.
