  • the pallet 20 is preferably constructed in one integral piece by injection molding and/or structural foam molding processes, described in more detail below.
  • the pallet 20 may be used to support a tall stack of empty aluminum beverage cans 44
  • the empty cans 44 are very light and therefore can be stacked very high (e.g., to a height of seven feet) . It is also possible to load a full pallet 20 onto another stack of cans 44 to store the cans 44 in a very tall column. Within each stack, the individual layers of cans 44 are separated from each other by slip sheets 46. The cans 44 are secured to the pallet 20 by three lateral and two longitudinal tie straps 48, 50, 52, 54, 56.
  • the upper surface 58 (FIG. 3) of the pallet 20 to be very flat and parallel with the flat lower surface 60 of the base member 24.

  • the spacers 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42 are arranged to provide passageways for receiving prongs (not illustrated) of a forklift truck in four different orientations.
  • Passageways marked by arrows 62 and 64 receive the forklift prongs in the first and second (lateral) orientations
  • passageways marked by arrows 66 and 68 receive the prongs in the third and fourth (lengthwise) orientations.
  • Openings 70, 72, 74, 76 are defined by the peripheral spacers 26, 28, 30, 32, 36, 38, 40, 42 at the ends of the prong receiving passageways 62, 64, 66, 68.
  • the spacers 26, 28, 30, 32, 36, 38, 40, 42 located around the periphery of the pallet 20 have outwardly diverging side faces 78 for guiding the forklift truck prongs into the passageways 62, 64, 66, 68.
  • the upper deck 22 and the base 24 have angled edges 80 between each of the peripheral spacers 26, 28, 30, 32, 36, 38, 40, 42. The angled guiding edges 80 are shown in detail in FIG. 9.
  • the side walls of the spacers 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42 are orthogonally aligned to define straight passageways 62, 64, 66, 68 for the forklift prongs.
  • Two of the lateral tie straps 48, 52 for securing the cans 44 to the pallet 20 may be inserted through the lateral prong receiving passageways 62, 64.
  • the longitudinal tie straps 54, 56 may be inserted through the lengthwise prong receiving passageways 66, 68.
  • An important feature of the illustrated embodiment of the invention is that the central lateral tie strap 50 can be inserted through aligned openings 82, 84, 86, 88, 90, 92 (FIG. 5) formed in the center spacers 32, 34, 36. This way, three symmetrically spaced apart, parallel lateral tie straps 48, 50, 52 can be used to secure the cans 44 to the pallet 20. This provides for a very balanced and secure arrangement.
  • each of the straps (even the central lateral strap 50) can be installed using a conventional strap inserting machine (not illustrated) .
  • the lance for the known machine will fit through the prong receiving passageways 62, 64, 66, 68 and also through the aligned center openings 82, 84, 86, 88, 90, 92.
  • the aligned center openings 82, 84, 86, 88, 90, 92 are each approximately five inches wide to accommodate the standard tie strap inserting lance.
  • the widths of the center openings 82, 84, 86, 88, 90, 92 may be greater than or less than five inches.
  • the width of each of the center openings 82, 84, 86, 88, 90, 92 may advantageously be within a range of from approximately two inches to approximately ten inches.
  • each of the spacers 26 is identical in the illustrated embodiment, each of the spacers 26,
  • the pallet 20 is also rigidified by triangular braces 96 and honeycombed surfaces 98 (FIGS. 11 and 12). In the illustrated embodiment, the triangular braces 96 are provided only for the end spacers 28, 40. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the other spacers 26, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 42 may also have triangular strengthening ribs.
  • the pallet 20 is also rigidified by full depth ribs 97.
  • the upper deck 22 and the base member 24 have a large number of openings 100, 102.
  • the openings 100, 102 reduce the total weight of the pallet 20 and also provide passageways for fluid (such as water) to travel through the pallet 20 for cleaning and drainage.
  • the upper deck 22 and the base member 24 are both rectangular and approximately the same size.
  • the pallet 22 is approximately forty-four inches wide and approximately fifty-six inches long. The preferred embodiment of the invention is advantageously wider than standard pallets.
  • the pallet 20 is formed of structural foam.
  • a particularly advantageous material for the pallet 20 is high density polyethylene structural foam. This material is preferred because it has good processability, is light weight, durable and relatively inexpensive.
  • the pallet 20 may be formed by a structural foam molding (multiple nozzles) process.
  • the pallet 20 may also be formed by an injection foam molding process.
  • the pallet 20 is preferably injection molded and cured in one piece. As a result of the molding process, and to reduce weight, each of the spacers 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42 is open at the bottom.
  • friction plugs 120, 122, 124, 126 may be attached to the upper deck 22 of the pallet 20 to engage the bottom surface of the flat base 24 of another pallet 20, to increase the friction between the two pallets 20.
  • the flat base 24 has friction surfaces 128 with no openings 102. This ensures that the friction plugs 120, 122, 124, 126 are not inadvertently inserted through the base openings 102.
  • FIGS. 15 and 16 An arrangement for attaching the plugs 120, 122, 124, 126 to the pallet 20 is illustrated in FIGS. 15 and 16.
  • the plug receiving opening 130 is located between a shortened upper deck opening 132 and a standard upper deck opening 134.
  • the plug receiving opening 130 has four radially inwardly protruding indents 136, 138, 140, 142 for securely, frictionally engaging the respective exterior surface 144 (FIG. 18) of the friction plug 120. (In the illustrated embodiment, all four of the plugs 120, 122, 124, 126 are essentially identical to each other.) At the bottom surface 146 of the plug receiving opening 130, there are through openings 148, 149 for facilitating fluid communication through the upper deck 22 of the pallet 20. A boss member 150 projects upwardly through the middle of the plug receiving opening 130. The boss member 150 has radially outwardly projecting indents 152, 154, 156, 158 for securely engaging the inner circumferential surface 160 of the friction plug 120.
  • the bottom surface 162 of the plug 120 is in contact with the bottom surface 146 of the opening 130
  • the upper surface 164 of the boss member 150 is in contact with an intermediate surface 162 of the friction plug 120
  • axial openings 164, 166 through the boss member 130 and the friction plug 120 are aligned with each other to facilitate fluid communication through the pallet 20.
  • the friction rlugs 120, 122, 124, 126 are each made of solid rubber wit: a relatively high coefficient of friction, such as styrene butadiene rubber.
  • the pallet 20 may be conveniently used either with or without the friction plugs 120, 122, 124, 126.
  • the plugs 120, 122, 124, 126 may also be conveniently replaced should they become damaged.
