Abstract: A jig construction having adjustable spacers which may be positioned to accommodate various sizes of pre-cut paperboard or cardboard sheets from which folded pallets are formed. The jig includes manually and semi-automatically actuated mechanisms for adjusting the size of the cardboard pallet formed thereon, and to facilitate bending and creasing sections of the paperboard for forming the pallet construction.

Abstract: A pallet is disclosed which is particularly adapted for supporting in stacked relation thereon groups of articles so as to facilitate fork lift handling and which is fabricated by cutting, scoring and folding a generally rectangular sheet of foldable material, such as, paperboard, or the like, so as to provide a supporting platform with a center portion depressed, or recessed, and forming an upwardly opening pocket, into which, one or more of the articles may be placed, and having a peripheral sidewall extending below the bottom face of the platform which sidewall is spaced from the perimeter of the platform a sufficient distance to provide clearance for the entry of the fork lift arms when the pocket formation is resting on a surface on which the fork lift is operable.
