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 14):
A pallet system, comprising:\n a longitudinal piece having:\n a plurality of bend lines, wherein the 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, \n at least one fork slot configured to form at least a portion of a fork aperture; and \n a transverse piece having at least one recess, wherein the transverse piece selectively connects to the longitudinal piece at the at least one transverse slot to secure the longitudinal piece in the final shape, and the at least one recess engages the at least one vertical portion of the longitudinal piece, 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 the longitudinal piece.
