Abstract:
Methods, devices, and systems for assembling a pallet are provided. In particular, a pallet is provided that is made from multiple pieces that are bent from an initial planar shape to a final shape. In some embodiments, a transverse piece locks at least one longitudinal piece in the final shape without the use of fasteners or adhesives. The resulting pallet can be loaded with materials and then maneuvered and transported using a forklift. In addition, the pieces can be made from cardboard which significantly reduces the weight of the pallet.

Claim (Index 1):
A pallet assembly, comprising:\n a first longitudinal piece and a second longitudinal piece, each longitudinal piece having:\n a plurality of bend lines, wherein each longitudinal piece is configured to bend along the plurality of bend lines from an initial shape to a final shape, \n at least one horizontal portion defined between two bend lines of the plurality of bend lines, \n at least one vertical portion defined between two bend lines of the plurality of bend lines, \n at least one transverse slot; and \n a transverse piece selectively connected to the at least one transverse slot of each longitudinal piece to secure each longitudinal piece in the final shape, wherein at least a portion of the transverse piece is perpendicular to the at least one horizontal portion and the at least one vertical portion of each longitudinal piece when each longitudinal piece is in the final shape.
