Abstract: A weldless aluminum pallet has slats that interlock with outside and inside stringers to form the pallet without need for permanent attachment points. Grooves in the stringers receive a projection on each slat, holding the slat in place. Preferably, a single projection extends along the length of the slat body. The projection is shaped to cooperate with the groove such that the slat attaches perpendicularly to the stringers. The groove is shaped to retain the slat's projection by friction fit, creating an interlocking joint. The front and rear slats on each face may be fastened to the stringers by screws or other removable fasteners. Pure aluminum or an aluminum alloy may be used, and the material may be tempered using known tempering techniques. The preferred material is 100% recycled 6005-T6 aluminum alloy. The parts are preferably extruded but alternatively may be molded or otherwise die cast.
Abstract translation: 无焊接的铝制托盘具有与外部和内部桁条互锁以形成托盘而不需要永久附接点的板条。 桁条上的凹槽在每个板条上都有一个凸起,将板条固定到位。 优选地,单个突起沿着板条体的长度延伸。 突起的形状与槽配合,使得板条垂直于桁条。 凹槽成形为通过摩擦配合保持板条的投影,从而形成互锁接合。 每个面上的前后板条可以用螺钉或其他可拆卸的紧固件固定在桁条上。 可以使用纯铝或铝合金,并且可以使用已知的回火技术对材料进行回火。 优选的材料是100%回收的6005-T6铝合金。 部件优选地被挤出,但是替代地可以被模制或以其他方式压铸。
