Abstract
A pallet consisting of a substantially flat body, a plurality of slots in the body and feet positioned in the slots. Each of the feet is readily molded from a suitable plastic and has an open upper end and a downwardly tapered cavity in which an internal support surface is formed. In stacking of pallets, the foot of the top pallet telescopes downwardly into the foot of the bottom pallet to a supported position on the internal support surface in which the pallet bodies are maintained in a spaced relation so that they can readily be separated when desired.
