Flexible pallet

Abstract

A flexible pallet manufactured by using plastic woven cloth or sheet, wherein square upper and lower surface materials ( 3 ) and ( 4 ) formed with plastic sheet are seamed to each other so as to form fork pockets ( 5 ) therebetween, and inner surface materials ( 6 ) and ( 7 ) are formed with woven cloth using PP mono-filaments are installed on the inner surface of the fork pockets ( 5 ).

1 . A flexible pallet comprising a soft pallet main body at least having an upper surface member; and a soft fork pocket member disposed to the lower surface of the upper surface member and forming substantially cylindrical fork pockets in a state attached to the pallet main body, in which the pallet main body has an elongate reinforcing member of a higher rigidity than the pallet main body at the end edge on the insertion side of the fork pocket:  
     
     
         2 . (deleted)  
     
     
         3 . A flexible pallet as defined in  claim 1 , wherein an elongate reinforcing member situates outward of a cargo located on the pallet main body.  
     
     
         4 . A flexible pallet as defined in  claim 1  or  3 , wherein the elongate reinforcing member is provided only at a portion corresponding to a position above the fork pocket.  
     
     
         5 . A flexible pallet comprising a soft pallet main body at least having an upper surface member; and a soft fork pocket member disposed to the lower surface of the upper surface member and forming substantially cylindrical fork pockets in a state attached to the pallet main body, in which the upper surface member has an insertion end reinforcing member bent convexly upward at the end on the insertion side of the fork pocket.  
     
     
         6 . A flexible pallet as defined in  claim 5 , wherein the insertion end reinforcing member situates outward of a cargo located on the pallet main body.  
     
     
         7 . A flexible pallet comprising a soft pallet main body at least having an upper surface member; and a soft fork pocket member disposed to the lower surface of the upper surface member and forming substantially cylindrical fork pockets in a state attached to the pallet main body, in which the upper surface member has tongues each protruding outward of the cargo on the pallet main body at a portion corresponding to the insertion end of the fork pocket, and the tongue is pulled upward along the outer surface of the cargo located on the pallet main body.

         13 . A flexible pallet as defined in claims  1 ,  3 ,  5 ,  6  or  7 , wherein at least the upper portion of the inner surface of the fork pocket member is formed of a woven fabric made of plastic filaments.  
     
     
         14 . A flexible pallet as defined in  claim 13 , wherein the woven fabric is formed of plastic filaments in which warps extending in the fork insertion direction have a smaller diameter and wefts have a larger diameter.  
     
     
         15 . A flexible pallet as defined in  claim 13 , wherein the woven fabric is formed of plastic filaments in which warps extending in the form insertion direction have a larger diameter and wefts have a smaller diameter.  
     
     
         16 . A flexible pallet as defined in  claim 1 ,  5  or  7 , wherein the grounding surface and the surface in contact with a cargo of the pallet main body is applied with a less slippy treatment.  
     
     
         17 . A flexible pallet as defined in  claim 1 ,  5  or  7 , wherein the pallet main body comprise an upper surface member; and a lower surface member disposed to the lower surface of the upper surface member and having substantially identical shape and size with those of the upper surface member in which the fork pocket is formed between the upper surface member and the lower surface member.  
     
     
         18 . A flexible pallet comprising a soft pallet main body at least having an upper surface member; and a soft fork pocket member disposed to the lower surface of the upper surface member and forming substantially cylindrical fork pockets in a state attached to the pallet main body, in which the pallet main body comprise an upper surface member; and a lower surface member disposed to the lower surface of the upper surface member and having substantially identical shape and size with those of the upper surface member in which the fork pocket is disposed to the lower surface of the lower surface member, and at least one of four sides of the upper surface member and the lower surface member is made openable, such that a pallet main body reinforcing plate can be inserted between both of the surface members.
