Because highly significant reduces, so the flat foldable structure P of described pallet 21 is especially favourable in the drawer transportation.

For flat foldable structure P being changed into the structure K (Fig. 4) in the use, need carry out following operation, wherein, pallet 21 can be assembled by mode of having described and fore head 20.

A) fold rear wall 24 by hand greater than 180 °, so that it is near user mode along second broken line 26 by direction shown in Figure 11;

B) press direction shown in Figure 12 with 270 ° of manual folding sidewalls 23, so that it is near user mode along second broken line 26;

C) rear wall 24 is folded (Figure 13) until the former with the latter quadrature (referring again to Figure 11) towards sidewall 23, make the edge 241 of rear wall 24 enter in the corresponding tooth 231 that forms by sidewall 23 (Figure 13 and 14) in such a way.

D) with the extention 242 of the folding rear wall 24 of any pointed tool, with sidewall 23 in the corresponding groove 232 that forms engages (Figure 13 and 15), thereby stablize mutually between sidewall and the rear wall 24.

Should illustrate, the size of reduction groove 27 allows need not too much strength just can manual folded sheet metal, however, can not fractureed to the jackknife action of the other end by an end without subsequently 6-7 time if guarantee metallic plate, therefore, this has far surpassed desired folding.

Should be appreciated that according to foregoing description the drawer 1 that is proposed satisfies all requirements that show in the introduction, especially consider a front panel can be set that this satisfies the requirement of aesthetic features easily.

In addition, the intensity of metal structure and cheaply characteristics kept, together with initial organization plan,,, in addition, simple and fast is installed so make that during transportation size significantly reduces because drawer takes apart, wherein many operations all need not tool using.
