  • Patent number: 5255614
    Abstract: Pallet, especially a disposable pallet, consisting of two outer base members (1) and preferably at least one intermediary base member (1), which base members suitably are identical and consist preferably of wood or a similar material, the height of which suitably corresponds to the conventional pallet height and the thickness of which suitably is within the range 20-100 mms, especially about 25-35 mms, having two recesses (2) intended for the introduction of the forks of a forklift truck and a number of holes (3) distributed along the length of the base members and perpendicularly thereto and at a minor distance from the upper surface of the base members or touching the same and that the base members (1) are united with each other by tubes (4) running through the holes (3) to the formation of the pallet.

  • Patent number: 4834001
    Abstract: Base member for pallets, especially for pallets of the type consisting of two or several base members, optionally provided with recesses for the forks of a fork lift truck, having a number of holes perpendicularly to their length direction, distributed along and at a minor distance from the upper surface of the base member or at the same surface, through which tubes can be inserted under a minor friction so as to unite the base members with each other to the formation of the pallet. The invention is characterized in that the base member is constituted of a pressed and folded wrapping (11) which after folding forms at least the essential outer surfaces of the base member (5, 6, 7, 12) and that stiffening inserts (a-f, 13-23, 31, 34) are present in an essential part of the inner space of the folded wrapping, also above the recesses for the forks of a fork lift truck, which inserts are bonded to the wrapping.

  • Patent number: 4831938
    Abstract: Pallet comprising base members (1-3) and crosswise members or tubes (4) perpendicularly thereto, especially a disposable pallet. According to the invention the pallet comprises base members (1-3) made by winding a web material coated with glue, the width of which suitably is equal to the length of the base member, around the first spindle, which preferably has a rectangular cross section, to the formation of an inner first bobbin (9). Subsequently a second spindle has been placed below the said first completed bobbin (9) and in contact with the lower surface thereof, the dimensions of the said second spindle being such that the same combined with the said first bobbin essentially completes the intended inner dimensions of the base member. The web material coated with glue on the surface has thereafter been wound around the structure formed by the said first bobbin (9) and the said second spindle to the formation of an outer second bobbin (10) whereupon the web has been cut and the spindles removed.

  • Patent number: 4802421
    Abstract: Pallet consisting of several base members, which can have recesses for forks of a fork lift. The base members have holes perpendicular to the length of the members distributed along and closely adjacent the upper surfaces of the base members. Tubes inserted through the holes unite the base members to form the pallet. The base members consisting of three pressed carton pieces folded to a rectangular U-section, the length of each piece corresponding to the length of the base member. The first and the second pieces have a height substantially the height of the pallet. The third piece has an inner height dimension which is approximately the diameter of the tubes. The first carton piece in a base member has the U-section upright with the back of the U downwards, the second carton piece has the U-section as an inverted U-form disposed in the first carton piece. The third carton piece is located with its U-section upright and within and uppermost in the second carton piece.
