Abstract: A knitted component may include a first side and an opposite second side and a first tubular knit structure having a first portion on the first side and a second portion on the second side, where the first portion is at least partially formed with a first yarn and where the second portion is at least partially formed with a different second yarn, and where the first yarn includes a thermoplastic polymer material with a melting point of about 200° C. or less. The knitted component may further include a fused surface region on the first side of the knitted component formed with the thermoplastic polymer material of the first yarn. The knitted component may further include an inlaid strand extending through a passage formed by the first tubular knit structure between the first portion and the second portion.

Abstract: The invention comprises a pallet constructed of a foldable material, such as corrugated paperboard, provided with a series of apertures in the bottom wall adapted to receive support blocks which are integrally attached to a plurality of runners which are disposed in spaced relationship upon the bottom wall. The corrugated paperboard is cut and scored in such a fashion as to permit it to be folded into a tray type pallet which serves to lock the plurality of runners, forming the rigid load-bearing deck of the pallet, into a fixed position.
