ABSTRACT:
A modular pallet system definable in terms of xyz Cartesian coordinates includes a base structure in a lower xy plane having a x- and y-linear axis members internestable with each other at regions of orthogonal intersection to form a rectilinear matrix, each region of intersection of each linear member including an aperture of like geometry to each other aperture. The pallet system further includes a lower snap-lock elements, equal in number to that of the regions of orthogonal intersection, the snap elements proportioned for complemental securement within each of the apertures within each of the regions of orthogonal intersection of the x- and y-axis members with each other, each of the lower snap-lock elements including integrally projecting positive z-axis locking prongs. The system also includes a plurality of z-axis separators, equal in number to that of the regions of intersection within the lower xy plane, each of the separators proportioned, in all xy planes, for enclosure of the z-axis locking prongs of the lower snap-lock elements, the separators further including four integral z-axis sides, and open xy planes at upper and lower faces. The separators operate to define a rigid z-axis dimension of the pallet system.
