The present invention relates to a hybrid panel, comprising a panel comprising: a core, a first protecting layer on a first side of said core and a second protecting layer on a second side of said core; said panel defining an outside geometry thereof; and an overmolded portion which overlays at least a part of said panel, thereby changing said geometry of said panel at said part of said panel.

A method, system, apparatus, or device to support or move objects. The apparatus may include a substrate and a rib structure. The rib structure may be disposed at an interior portion of the substrate. The rib structure may include a first chamber extending downwardly from a first plane to a second plane. A wall of the first chamber may taper inwardly to form a first inverted dome. The rib structure may include a second chamber extending downwardly from the first plane to the second plane to form a second inverted dome. A wall of the second chamber may taper inwardly to form a first inverted dome.

A pallet for goods is provided. In detail, the pallet for goods improves use persistence while enhancing durability or impact resistance. Accordingly, the pallet for goods includes a pallet body portion including a honeycomb member and a panel for covering the honeycomb member, and an outer frame surrounding an external portion of the pallet body portion.

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 cargo pallet made of synthetic resin includes: a top plate and a bottom plate, each plate constituted by bonded stacked synthetic-resin boards cut into a specified shape and size; and spacers bonded between the top plate and the bottom plate which are arranged in parallel and separated by the spacers. Each board is constituted by two sheets with an inner cavity layer interposed between the two sheets. In an embodiment, ribs connecting the two sheets of one board are aligned in parallel in a first direction, and ribs connecting the two sheets of another board stacked on the one board are aligned in parallel in a second direction which is perpendicular to the first direction. The spacers are elastic spacers made of synthetic resin and having spring elasticity in a height direction.

This invention relates to a collapsible container and more particularly, but not exclusively, to a collapsible container for use in packaging and transportation. The collapsible container includes a number of panels each having a panel body, with elongate tubular members secured to edges of the bodies. Each of the tubular members has at least one recessed section that forms interlocking engagement means.

Shipping pallets 10 that may be constructed, at least in part, from structural members 100 that are largely fabricated from paper and paper based materials are disclosed. One or more of the structural members 100 may include a wrapper 60 secured in tension to a core 20. The core 20 may include one or more laminated fiberboard sheets 40. Because of the use of paper and paper based materials, the one or more aspects of shipping pallets 10 in accordance with the present inventions may be recycled.

A structural element (10) for forming a panel, with an upper plane (12) and lower plane (14) which are parallel and deformed along their plane at intervals by pods (16) which extrude toward the opposing plane with their internal faces mating to one another.

A cargo pallet made of synthetic resin includes: a top plate and a bottom plate, each plate constituted by bonded stacked synthetic-resin boards cut into a specified shape and size; and spacers bonded between the top plate and the bottom plate which are arranged in parallel and separated by the spacers. Each board is constituted by two sheets with an inner cavity layer interposed between the two sheets. In an embodiment, ribs connecting the two sheets of one board are aligned in parallel in a first direction, and ribs connecting the two sheets of another board stacked on the one board are aligned in parallel in a second direction which is perpendicular to the first direction. The spacers are elastic spacers made of synthetic resin and having spring elasticity in a height direction.

A pallet includes a plurality of supports which define a base of a pallet and a plurality of deck rings that are interlocked with the plurality of supports and define a surface of the pallet on which goods in need of transport can be stacked, wherein each support and each deck ring of the pallet is a paper core or a section of a paper core. The supports of the pallet are spaced as to define a base of the pallet and one or more channels for receiving a fork of a lifting device. The supports of the pallet also support the deck rings of the pallet in an elevated position above a ground surface when the supports of the pallet are resting on the ground surface. A method for constructing a pallet is also disclosed.
