ABSTRACT:
A portable support platform formed of lightweight material such as corrugated paperboard is disclosed. The platform is formed from a generally rectangular unitary blank having a rectangular top wall panel and opposed pairs of end wall panels and end flaps defined by first and second pairs of parallel fold lines, respectively. The blank further includes opposed pairs of side wall panels and side flaps defined by third and fourth pairs of parallel fold lines, respectively, the pairs of third and fourth fold lines being normal to the pairs of first and second fold lines. The end and side wall panels all have an equal width. Folding of the end and side flaps about the second and fourth fold lines, respectively, to corresponding positions on one side of the top wall panel normal to the end and side wall panels, respectively, and folding of the end and side wall panels about the first and third fold lines, respectively, to corresponding positions on the same side as, and normal to, the top wall panel result in the positioning of the side and end flaps opposite the top wall panel and in a common plane parallel with and spaced from the top wall panel, thereby defining a support platform having a partially enclosed chamber. In a preferred form, a honeycomb configured insert having a height equal to the width of the end and side wall panels is arranged completely within the platform chamber to further support the top wall panel.
