Pallet

Abstract

A pallet includes two bottom plates and three supporting members. A plane is defined by the two bottom plates. The three supporting members are secured to the two bottom plates. A first passageway is defined between every adjacent two supporting members and allows for a forklift fork to be in along a first direction that is substantially perpendicular to the plane. The first passageway further allows for the forklift fork to slide out of along a second direction that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A pallet comprising:
 two bottom plates; a plane is defined by the two bottom plates;   three supporting members secured to the two bottom plates and configured to support merchandise; and a first passageway is defined between every adjacent two supporting members;   wherein the first passageway allows for a forklift fork to extend therethrough along a first direction that is substantially perpendicular to the plane defined by the two bottom plates, and the first passageway further allows for the forklift fork to slide out of the first passageway, along a second direction that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction.   
     
     
         2 . The pallet of  claim 1 , wherein each supporting member comprises two side panels and a plurality of top panels secured to the two side panels; and the two side panels are secured to the two bottom plates. 
     
     
         3 . The pallet of  claim 2 , wherein each side panels is substantially perpendicular to the each bottom plate. 
     
     
         4 . The pallet of  claim 2 , wherein each top panel is substantially perpendicular to each side panel and parallel to each bottom plate. 
     
     
         5 . The pallet of  claim 2 , wherein the two side panels are substantially parallel each other. 
     
     
         6 . The pallet of  claim 2 , wherein a receiving space is defined between adjacent two of the plurality of top panels for receiving an extending portion of the merchandise. 
     
     
         7 . The pallet of  claim 2 , wherein a first cutout and a second cutout is defined in each side panel; the first cutout of each side panel is arranged at in a first straight line to define a second passageway, the second cutout of each side panel is arranged at in a second straight line to define a third passageway, and the second passageway and the third passageway allow the forklift fork to be in along a third direction that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction. 
     
     
         8 . The pallet of  claim 7 , wherein the second passageway is substantially parallel to the third passageway. 
     
     
         9 . A pallet comprising:
 two bottom plates; a plane is defined by the two bottom plates;   three supporting members secured to the two bottom plates and configured to support merchandise; a first passageway and a second passageway are defined between every adjacent two supporting members, and the first passageway is substantially perpendicular to the second passageway;   wherein the first passageway allows for a forklift fork to extend therethrough, along a first direction that is substantially perpendicular to the plane defined by the two bottom plates, the first passageway further allows for the forklift fork to slide out of the first passageway, along a second direction that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction; and the second passageway allows the forklift fork to be extend therethrough along a third direction that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction.   
     
     
         10 . The pallet of  claim 9 , wherein each supporting member comprises two side panels and a plurality of top panels secured to the two side panels; the two side panels are secured to the two bottom plates, and the plurality of top panels are configured to support the merchandise. 
     
     
         11 . The pallet of  claim 10 , wherein each side panels is substantially perpendicular to the each bottom plate. 
     
     
         12 . The pallet of  claim 10 , wherein each top panel is substantially perpendicular to each side panel and parallel to each bottom plate. 
     
     
         13 . The pallet of  claim 10 , wherein the two side panels are substantially parallel each other. 
     
     
         14 . The pallet of  claim 10 , wherein a receiving space is defined between adjacent two of the plurality of top panels for receiving an extending portion of the merchandise. 
     
     
         15 . The pallet of  claim 10 , wherein a first cutout is defined in each side panel; and the second passageway is defined by the first cutout of each side panel. 
     
     
         16 . The pallet of  claim 15 , wherein a second cutout is defined in each side panel, the second cutout of each side panel is arranged at in a straight line to define a third passageway, and the third passageway is substantially parallel to the second passageway.
