Abstract:
A pallet for supportively carrying and transporting goods as a unit load in a stable efficient manner is disclosed. The pallet can be configured as a rigid or easily disassemblable compact collapsed structure. Interlocking frame members form an upper planar surface with one or more gap or void areas. A sheet of flexible material operatively secured to the frame is tautly stretched to overlie the void areas and forms a structural part of the upper planar surface to counteract downward load forces applied to the fabric over the pallet surface void areas. The sheet material preferably comprises woven polypropylene material.

Claim (Index 19):
A collapsible pallet for supporting a load, comprising:\n (a) a plurality of longitudinal frame members, oriented in parallel spaced relationship to one another and having coplanar upper portions; (b) a plurality of lateral frame members operatively connected to said longitudinal frame members, oriented in parallel spaced relationship to one another and generally perpendicular to said longitudinal frame members, said lateral frame members having upper surfaces that are coplanar with said coplanar upper portions of said longitudinal frame members and cooperatively form therewith a planar upper deck surface; (c) said longitudinal and said lateral frame members being rigidly, but detachably secured to one another, so as to form one or more gaps or voids in the planar upper deck surface; and (d) at least one flexible sheet of material overlying said planar deck upper surface, tautly secured to opposed ones of said lateral frame members and arranged and configured to overlie and span across at least one of said gaps or voids in the planar upper deck surface to strengthen said upper deck surface; said sheet material having a strength sufficient to counteract downward forces applied to said sheet material by a load placed upon the sheet material overlying said gap or void in said upper deck surface.
