ABSTRACT:
A pallet assembled from two sheets of material, preferably corrugated paper board stamped with cutouts. Once the cutouts have been scored, the two sheets are then either manually or machine folded to form upper and lower frame members. The frame members are then interconnected, using barbed arrow-shaped fasteners and slots, in such a way as to create a force-resisting structure. Each of the fasteners is fabricated as a single, unitary piece with one of the frame members. No glue or other fasteners are required. In the pallet, the barbed arrow-shaped fasteners lock together upper and lower column elements within the frame members. Arrayed in contiguous pairs, the column elements are aligned so that each upper column element is disposed side by side with a lower column element, forming a single column of double thickness when the contiguous column elements are locked togehter. End flaps which bound the perimeter of the completed pallet are locked into position with the use of barbed arrow-shaped fasteners which are similar to those used in the column elements.
