PALLET AND METHOD OF FORMING AND SECURING PALLET LEGS

摘要

ABSTRACTA pallet having a pallet deck which is formed from at leasttwo pallet deck members, each of which has finger elements die-cut therein at each leg attachment point. The pallet legs areformed from tubular outer and inner leg elements, and areattached to both pallet deck members by stacking them atop oneanother and forcibly urging the finger elements on both palletdeck members within the annulus between the nested outer andinner leg elements. With this construction, the pallet deck isincreased in strength since two pallet deck members are utilizedand the pallet legs have greater strength and are less subject todamage from sideways forces parallel to the pallet applied tothem since they are attached to the pallet by the finger elementsdie-cut in both of the pallet deck members.
