ABSTRACT:
A load bearing pallet and a spacer-support therefor includes top and bottom decks and an elongate, unitary tubular support body with tapered, sharpened tines projecting from the opposed ends of the body. The tines are designed to be compressively embedded in the top and bottom decks of the pallet to secure the same together. The elongate spacer-support is constructed by die stamping it of flat metal and then rolling it with an open butt seam. A modified form of the invention contemplates the utilization of crossing straps interconnecting the individual slats of the bottom deck and a further modification contemplates a binder or reinforcing strip interconnecting the usual slat members of the top deck. A still further modification includes the provision of projecting barbs or prongs on the tines for improved holding properties. The method of assembly includes embedding not only the tines, but portions of the ends of the tubular members as well into deck members.
