A corrugated pallet produced from two flat blanks is provided. The pallet may include a pallet top, a pallet bottom, and a plurality of corner straps locking the pallet top to the pallet bottom. Each of the pallet top and the pallet bottom may include folded portions, the folded portions of the pallet top interlocking with the folded portions of the pallet bottom when the pallet top and the pallet bottom are assembled to each other in nested relation. The pallet top may define a top surface of the pallet. The pallet bottom may define a bottom surface of the pallet. The corner straps may lock into one or both of the pallet top and the pallet bottom from the top or bottom surfaces of the pallet.

A foldably constructed force-resisting structure or support is provided. The foldably constructed structure may include a first member and a second member. The first member may include a support panel and a plurality of peripherally spaced first support foldably connected to the support panel. The second member may include a base panel and a plurality of peripherally spaced second support foldably connected to the base panel. Each of the plurality of first supports may include a tab. Each of the plurality of second supports may include a slot. The tab of each of the plurality of first supports may be received within the slot of each of the plurality of second supports to secure the first member to the second member.

A multi-density skid assembly for an appliance or other object. The assembly includes an inner layer of at least one low density material and an outer layer of at least one high density material. At least one fastener extends into an inner opening defined in the inner layer and through an aperture defined by appliance. The fastener provides an anchoring force such that the fastener secures the skid assembly to the appliance yet allows for the skid assembly to be displaced from the appliance without the use of tools or necessarily laying the appliance on one side.

A transport package includes a support base and a cover member coupled to the base. The support base supports a product display vehicle and the cover member surrounds the display vehicle to block product stored in the display vehicle from exiting the display vehicle during shipping.

A welding wire container has a base element, a plurality of walls which extend upwardly from the base element and circumscribe a space in which a coil of welding wire can be placed. A reinforcement post is arranged in each of the corners of the space. A spacing rod is provided between adjacent reinforcement posts.

A monolithic interlocking tile, manufacturing method, and covering are disclosed. A closed-cell foam material is injected into a mold to form a monolithic structure having a first surface, a second surface offset and opposite the first surface, the first surface including a first lip located at two adjacent sides of the structure with a plurality of shaped protrusions, and the second surface including a second lip located at two other adjacent sides of the structure and forming a plurality of shaped apertures matching in number and shape with the plurality of protrusions; and a recess formed in the second lip and forming a hole for receiving a fastener to secure the monolithic structure to a supporting structure. Multiple monolithic interlocking tiles are interlocked together to form the covering for a floor, wall, ceiling, or roof.

An assembly and associated method for constructing a three dimensional article, such as a pallet, including a first station for feeding a sheet material in blank form, a second a second station for receiving and incising the blank, a third station for receiving the incised blank and which successively creases and folds the blank into an assembled article, and a fourth operator station for controlling each of said first, second and third stations. Also disclosed is a conveyor for removing the assembled article from the third station and transferring to a plastic coating operation.

A structurally supporting shelf article having a body and a plasticized coating applied to at least an exterior of the article. The body further includes a planar shaped insert surrounded by a tubular frame. In a further variant, a structurally supporting pallet article includes a body incorporating a planar shaped upper supporting surface, the body further including rectangular shaped reinforcing brackets incorporated into a structurally supporting underside locations of the body and which are adapted to receive the inserting forks of a forklift device. A plasticized coating can be applied to at least an exterior of the body. In another variant, a reinforced and volume supporting paperboard article includes a four-sided box like structure assembleable upon a pallet-shaped base with a lid affixing to the assembled sides. The body may constitute a cardboard constructed barrel with reinforcing upper and lower tubular support portions, the lid affixing over an open top of the barrel. In a further application, the body is a cardboard box with upper extending flaps.

A packaging member includes a packaging box and an intermediate buffering member. The intermediate buffering member is provided in a space formed between a bottom plate and a side plate of the packaging box and a main body part of the article. The intermediate buffering member has a vertical direction supporting part and a positioning part. The vertical direction supporting part abuts against a lower face of the main body part and the bottom plate. The positioning part is coupled with the vertical direction supporting part. The positioning part prevents the vertical direction supporting part from being moved toward the side plate. The vertical direction supporting part has an inclined part extending from the lower face of the main body part in an oblique lower direction toward near a lower corner between the bottom plate and the side plate and abutting against the bottom plate.
