Abstract: A apparatus for manufacturing an object of a folded sheet material has improved slitting, scoring/crushing, gathering, and folding sections or devices. Qualifying means, slitting means, and scoring/crushing means are adjustable with respect to a flat, planer, path of movement so that sheet material moves through the machine without causing the paper to assume an "S" shape, or otherwise suffer loss of paper control. Qualifying means bring within tolerance, sheet which is over thickness. Identifying rollers identify and slightly pre-fold a blank before it enters a gathering and pre-folding section. Novel slitting and scoring heads are easily changed in number or configuration, and have easily replaceable split blades.

Abstract: A pallet member is constructed of a longitudinally extending core means surrounded by an outer covering of parametric horizontally and vertically running panels. The longitudinally extending core means may be a plurality of separate rectangular-shaped pieces glued together to form a closely packed, or solid core of adjacent vertically oriented panels. The corrugations of the individual rectangular panels may extend horizontally or vertically or panels having horizontally extending corrugations may be alternated with panels having vertically extending corrugations. Alternately, the core means may be made of a one-piece pleated piece of corrugated fiberboard which is folded accordion-style and glued to form the closely-packed core.

Abstract: A pallet of corrugated fiberboard material has floor-contacting spaced, parallel and longitudinal extending base members perpendicularly interconnected at longitudinally spaced intervals by spaced, parallel and laterally extending deck members. Each member is constructed from creased and scored rectangular blanks folded to comprise a solid core of adjacent vertically oriented panels surrounded by an outer covering of perimetric horizontally and vertically running panels.

Abstract: A pallet of corrugated fiberboard material has floor-contacting spaced, parallel and longitudinal extending base members perpendicularly interconnected at longitudinally spaced intervals by floor-contacting spaced, parallel and laterally extending deck members. One or both of the base and deck members has perpendicular cutouts with horizontally extending cuts backed up for fork tine lifting purposes by unbroken horizontally extending panels. Each member is constructed from creased and scored rectangular blanks folded to comprise a solid core of adjacent vertically oriented panels surrounded by an outer covering of perimetric horizontally and vertically running panels.
