Abstract:
A pallet-less brick is provided that allows for materials to be transported without the use of straps or pallets, which makes the transportation and subsequent use of the materials more efficient and more environmentally friendly. The pallet-less brick can have a generally planar body with a series of protrusions and recesses extending in different directions. A protrusion extending in one direction can be received in a recess of an adjacent brick, such that the bricks are stackable without the use of straps or pallets. Similarly, a second protrusion and recess combination fulfill a similar function, and the multiple protrusions and recesses secure stacked pallets in at least two directions.

Claim (Index 11):
A method of forming a pallet-less brick out of an aggregate material for stacking multiple pallet-less bricks, comprising:\n providing a formation device at a forming platform, said formation device having a first die and a second die, wherein said first die has a recess configured to form a protrusion, and said second die has a protrusion configured to form a recess; transporting scrap material to said formation device and said forming platform; accumulating a predetermined mass of said scrap material in said formation device; forming a pallet-less brick by compressing said scrap material between said dies of said formation device, wherein said pallet-less brick has a protrusion and a recess; and transporting said pallet-less brick from said formation device and said forming platform, wherein said protrusion of said pallet-less brick is configured to selectively engage and nest in a recess of another pallet-less brick.
