Abstract:
A pallet comprising:a three-dimensional structure with a predetermined bulk density and voids, said three dimensional structure being formed by contacting, entwining, and gathering one of adjacent ones of random loops or curls of continuous filaments, short filaments of a thermoplastic resin and combination thereof, wherein a single unit of the pallet is formed with high density portions having an increased bulk density at opposite ends of fork insertion holes of said single unit of the pallet in a direction of length of said fork insertion holes and approximately at a central portion of said single unit of the pallet in said direction, said high density portions extending to said opposite ends of said fork insertion holes in said direction of length of said fork insertion holes and opposite ends of said fork insertion holes in a direction of width thereof, and formed with flat portions having a bulk density not higher than those of said high density portions at least inner surfaces of said fork insertion holes or an outer periphery and said inner surfaces of said fork insertion holes being formed.
