A knock-down pallet is constructed of a plurality of releasably interlocking aluminum members of one of two types. A unique fastening device is used to achieve, in simple manner without special tools or skill, the interlocking of a plurality of spaced-parallel deck-forming members to two, three or more spaced and parallel stringer members of rectangular cross-section to provide a one- or two-deck two-way or four-way pallet construction. A stop means prevents longitudinal movement of the deck members transverse of the stringer members. A fence structure formed of similar releasably interlocking members also is described.
REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION
This is a division of application Ser. No. 710,236 filed July 30, 1976 and now Pat. No. 4,077,334.
This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser. No. 579,410 filed May 21, 1975 (now U.S. Pat. No. 3,971,326).
A two-part, blow-molded plastic pallet includes slats which lock onto support stringers by sliding, dovetail engagement. The upper and lower surfaces of the stringer are flat to enhance load distribution. A vertical staking through the slat at a plurality of locations affords structural rigidity.
A fence post and rail assembly with concealed strengthening bars in a fence system unit is disclosed. The strengthening bars have two paling slots at either end for receiving paling members. The rails connect to the posts and the palings connect to the rails. The connection between the posts and the rails is strengthened by inserting the strengthening bar through a post opening of a post to engage the palings on either side of the post with the paling slots.
The post and rail assembly comprises a post member, rail members, stiffening bars and a plurality of paling members. The rail members connect to the post member, the paling members connect to the rail members. Stiffening bars are entered into said rail member until they straddle one established paling member. Stiffening bars project an equal distance past the sides of the post member. Stiffening bars are adapted to pass through the rail and post members. Stiffening bars are adapted to straddle fence palings and to fill the cavity between the palings and the internal walls of the fence rails.
A fence panel comprised of sections which can be simply attached together without the need for any separate fasteners, connectors or the like. The fence panel has a reversible rail and tear out strips.
