Abstract
A promotional pallet which can be varied in both length and width, and which will have places for signs and pennants in any of its configurations. Its length is changed by using two sections each formed by a pair of base members with interengaging fingers and in which the extent of interengagement can be varied. The fingers slidingly interengage in a 'cantilever' manner so as to provide structural strength regardless of length. The width of the pallet is changed by using two sets of sections of equal width hinged together with hinges which can accommodate change in length, while at the same time permitting flush overlapping of two sets of sections, so the weight being carried is distributed uniformly over a common surface. The front and one side of each set of sections can each carry a sign providing product or brand information; one sign will block the other when the sections are hinged together in overlapping relationship, since with this reduced width only one sign is necessary, and, also, to avoid having one sign being displayed upside down.
