Abstract
A knockdown pallet structure (10) comprises a relatively flexible base panel (12) which is fabricated from a suitable woven plastic material, and a pair of laterally spaced, longitudinally extending pockets (14,16) are secured upon undersurface portions of the base panel so as to accommodate rigid support members (25,28) , which may comprise rigid thermoplastic tubes or pipes, for accommodating the fork tines of a forklift truck. A pair of semi-rigid cross-brace members (34,36) are respectively pivotally secured at first end portions thereof upon the pallet structure so as to be movable between a first operative position, at which the pair of semi-rigid cross-brace members will be disposed in a longitudinally spaced, laterally oriented mode, and a second position at which the pair of semi-rigid cross-brace members will be disposed in a laterally spaced, longitudinally oriented mode so as to be disposed parallel to the laterally spaced, longitudinally extending rigid support members in order to permit the entire pallet structure to be rolled up, folded, or otherwise knocked-down, for compact storage and transportation purposes .

pivotally moving said at least one cross-brace be-tween said first inoperative, knockdown position, at which said at least cross-brace member is disposed parallel to said pair of transversely spaced, longitudinally extending rigid support members such that said pair of transversely spaced, longitudinally extending rigid support members are discon-nected from each other, and said second operative, erected position at which said at least one cross-brace member is disposed transversely with respect to said pair of trans-versely spaced, longitudinally extending rigid support mem-bers so as to operatively interconnect said pair of trans-versely spaced, longitudinally extending rigid support mem-bers together.
pivotally moving said at least one cross-brace be-tween said first inoperative, knockdown position, at which said at least cross-brace member is disposed parallel to said pair of transversely spaced, longitudinally extending rigid support members such that said pair of transversely spaced, longitudinally extending rigid support members are discon-nected from each other, and said second operative, erected position at which said at least one cross-brace member is disposed transversely with respect to said pair of trans-versely spaced, longitudinally extending rigid support mem-bers so as to operatively interconnect said pair of trans-versely spaced, longitudinally extending rigid support mem-bers together.
