Abstract

The present invention relates to a pallet including a base, a paper cellular structure, and a lid, wherein the base, being made of plastic, wood, plastic-wood, or plastic-stone, including a tray-like structure with paper-cylinder-inserted feet formed underneath, the paper cellular structure, having krafts adhere to the top and the bottom thereon to fix its shape and being fastened in the tray-like structure, and the lid being made of the same material as that in the base and being fixed on the base, thereby forming a light-weight, heavy-duty, and also environmental friendly pallet.

Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • (a) Field of the Invention
  • The present invention relates to an improvement of a pallet and more particularly for the pallet being applied to freight loading to or unloading from a vehicle, whether inside or outside a workshop or a warehouse.
  • (b) Description of the Prior Art
  • With the sharp increase of international trading, freight delivery increases dramatically, too. It is popular to load freight on a pallet and use a forklift or a crane to move the pallet to a container, a truck, or a ship etc. Using pallets has advantages of simplifying goods loading and unloading process, saving time for the operation, and allowing freight being stacked up, etc.
  • It is known that wood pallets share the market up to 90%, with others such as plastic pallets, metal pallets, and plastic-wood pallets share the remaining.
  • It is certainly uneconomic and environmental unfriendly that a tree can only manufacture six conventional pallets. In general, a conventional pallet weighs at least 18 Kg and is usually transporting with the freight, causing a reduction of freight's weight and volume in transporting, thereby increasing cost and causing an after-use handling problem.
  • In summary, the conventional pallet is not environmental friendly and also increases handling and shipping cost.
  • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • The present invention is an improvement of a pallet including a base, a paper cellular structure, and a lid, wherein the base, being made of plastic, wood, plastic-wood, or plastic-stone, including a tray-like structure with feet formed underneath to facilitate loading and unloading operation, the paper cellular structure, having krafts adhere to the top and the bottom to fix its shape, being fastened to the tray-like structure, and the lid having the same material as that in the base and being fixed on the base, thereby forming a light-weight, heavy-duty, environmental friendly, and also reusable pallet.
  • Each foot is a hollow cylinder with a 1 cm thick paper cylinder inserted to enhance strength and reduce total weight.
  • To enable a further understanding of the said objectives and the technological methods of the invention herein, the brief description of the drawings below is followed by the detailed description of the preferred embodiments.
  • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
  • FIG. 1 shows an exploded elevational view of the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows an exploded elevational view of a foot related to the base and a perspective view of the paper cellular structure of the present invention.
  • FIG. 3 shows a top view of the paper cellular structure incorporating in a base.
  • FIG. 4 shows a cross section A-A′ of FIG. 3.
  • FIG. 5 shows a perspective view of the present invention after assembly.
  • FIG. 6 shows an application of the present invention.
  • DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
  • Referring to FIGS. 1 to 3. The present invention relates to an improvement to a pallet including a base 10, a paper cellular structure 20, and a lid 30, wherein the base 10, being made of plastic, wood, plastic-wood, or plastic-stone, including a tray-like structure 11 with feet 40 formed underneath, the paper cellular structure 20 having krafts 21 adhere to the top and the bottom to fix its shape and being fastened in the tray-like structure 11, and the lid 30 being made of the same material as that in the base 10 and fixed on the base 10.
  • Referring to FIGS. 2 and 4. Each foot 40 is a hollow cylinder with a light-weight 1 cm thick paper cylinder 41 inserted to enhance strength. With the feet 40, the pallet is easy to be stacked up and is much more convenient when operating with a fork lift or a crane.
  • Referring to FIG. 5. The lid 30 fixes on the base 10 to form a light-weight, heavy-duty, low cost, and also environmental friendly pallet.
  • In summary, the present invention is indeed an improvement to a conventional pallet and is much useful for the industry.
  • It is of course to be understood that the embodiment described herein is merely illustrative of the principles of the invention and that a wide variety of modifications thereto may be effected by persons skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as set forth in the following claims.

Claims (3)
