Abstract

The present invention provides a pallet and a pallet support. The pallet comprises a carrier and a plurality of pallet supports. Each pallet support comprises: a cover member, a retaining board, a retaining wall, a cannular piece, and a base member. The retaining board comprises a first hole; the cover member comprises a second hole, and the base member comprises a third hole. The retaining wall and the cannular piece are located on the base member, wherein the retaining board is located above the retaining wall; the cannular piece is connected to the cover member by passing through the first hole, such that the carrier can be supported between the cover member and the retaining board. The retaining board and the retaining wall are both made of paper material.

Claims

1. A pallet support which is used to support a carrier, the pallet support comprising:

a cover member;

a retaining board, wherein the retaining board comprises a first hole;

a retaining wall;

a cannular piece; and

a base member, wherein the retaining wall and the cannular piece are both located on the base member, the retaining board is placed above the retaining wall, and the cannular piece is connected to the cover member by passing through the first hole, such that the carrier can be supported between the cover member and the retaining board.

2. The pallet support as claimed in claim 1, wherein the retaining wall is made of a paper material.

3. The pallet support as claimed in claim 1, wherein the retaining board is made of a paper material.

4. The pallet support as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cannular piece is constructed as one component with the base member.

5. The pallet support as claimed in claim 4, wherein the cannular piece can be secured to the cover member through a separable connection method, which utilizes groove and thread or snap-together clip fastening technique.

6. The pallet support as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cannular piece is constructed as one component with the cover member.

7. The pallet support as claimed in claim 6, wherein the cannular piece is secured to the base member through a separable connection method, which utilizes groove and thread or snap-together clip fastening technique.

8. The pallet support as claimed in claim 1, wherein the cover member comprises a second hole, and the second hole leads through to the first hole of the retaining board in an unobstructed manner.

9. The pallet support as claimed in claim 8, wherein the base member comprises a third hole, and the third hole leads through to the first hole of the retaining board and to the second hole of the cover member in an unobstructed manner.

10. The pallet support as claimed in claim 1, wherein the retaining wall is cylindrically shaped.

11. A pallet, comprising:

a carrier, comprising a plurality of carrier holes; and

a plurality of pallet supports, which is used to support the carrier, wherein each pallet support comprises;

a cover member;

a retaining board, comprising a first hole;

a retaining wall;

a cannular piece; and

a base member;

wherein the retaining wall and the cannular piece are both located on the base member;

the retaining board is placed above the retaining wall, and the cannular piece is connected to the cover member by passing through the first hole, such that the carrier is supported between the cover member and the retaining board.

12. The pallet as claimed in claim 11, wherein the retaining wall is made of paper material.

13. The pallet as claimed in claim 11, wherein the retaining board is made of paper material.

14. The pallet as claimed in claim 11, wherein the cannular piece is constructed as one component with the base member.

15. The pallet as claimed in claim 14, wherein the cannular piece can be secured to the cover member through a separable connection method, which utilizes groove and thread or snap-together clip fastening technique.

16. The pallet as claimed in claim 11, wherein the cannular piece is constructed as one component with the cover member.

17. The pallet as claimed in claim 16, wherein the cannular piece is secured to the base member through a separable connection method, which utilizes groove and thread or snap-together clip fastening technique.

18. The pallet as claimed in claim 11, wherein the cover member comprises a second hole, and the second hole leads through to the first hole of the retaining board in an unobstructed manner.

19. The pallet as claimed in claim 18, wherein the base member comprises a third hole, and the third hole leads through to the first hole of the retaining board and to the second hole of the cover member in an unobstructed manner.
