A castor supported dolly assembly comprising a plurality of dolly members formed of a lightweight, disposable and/or severable material may be interconnected into interchangeable operative positions to define supporting orientations. Each dolly member includes and at least one connecting segment comprising a slot and a base. A connected orientation, of any two of the dolly members, comprises a confronting relation of the bases of engaging connecting segments and an aligned orientation of corresponding passages formed therein, so as to concurrently and removably receive and retain a castor in interconnecting relation to the confronting bases. Each dolly member may also include at least one supporting segment structured to receive a castor therein.

1. A dolly assembly structured to be castor supported and assume a plurality of different supporting orientations, said dolly assembly comprising: a plurality of elongated dolly members each having oppositely disposed first and second outer faces extending along the length thereof,each of said dolly members comprising a plurality of connecting segments extending along the length thereof,each of said connecting segments comprising a slot and a base, said slot extending inwardly from said first outer face to said base and said base extending from said second outer face to said slot,each of said bases including a passage extending there through and structured to allow a castor to be removably received within said passage; each passage having oppositely disposed open ends, each open end disposed in aligned, communicating relation with a different one of said second outer faces and a corresponding one of said slots,a connected orientation of any two said dolly members comprising a confronting relation of said bases of engaging connecting segments and a coaxially aligned relation of said passages of said confronting bases,said aligned passages disposed and dimensioned to concurrently retain the castor therein in interconnecting relation to said confronting bases,said passages of each of said confronting bases of engaging ones of said connecting segments being disposed to receive the castor therein through either one of said second outer faces of said dolly members in said connected orientation, andat least some of said dolly members including at least one supporting segment including a channel extending there through in communicating relation with corresponding ones of both said first and second outer faces; said channel cooperatively disposed and dimensioned to receive another castor therein through either of said first and second outer faces. 2. A dolly assembly as recited in claim 1 wherein at least some of said plurality of dolly members have sufficiently corresponding structural features to assume interchangeable positions between interconnected ones of said plurality of elongated dolly members when in said connected orientation. 3. A dolly assembly as recited in claim 1 wherein each of said plurality of passages of each of said connecting segments is dimensioned and configured to receive the castor therein in a press-fit relation thereto. 4. A dolly assembly as recited in claim 1 wherein at least some of said plurality of dolly members are formed of a lightweight, disposable material. 5. A dolly assembly as recited in claim 1 wherein at least some of said plurality of dolly members comprise a plurality of supporting segments each including a channel extending there through, each of said channels structured for removable connection to a different castor. 6. A dolly assembly as recited in claim 5 wherein each of said channels include opposite open ends, each of said open ends disposed coincident to a different one of said first and second outer faces of a corresponding dolly member, each of said channels disposed and dimensioned to receive the castor therein through either of said opposite open ends and corresponding ones of said first and second outer faces. 7. A dolly assembly as recited in claim 5 wherein said plurality of connecting segments are collectively disposed intermediate two of said plurality of supporting segments along the length of a common one of said dolly members; at least two of said connecting segments disposed in contiguous relation to a different one of said supporting segments, adjacent opposite ends of the common dolly member. 8. A dolly assembly as recited in claim 1 wherein at least some of said dolly members are formed of a recyclable material. 9. A dolly assembly as recited in claim 1 wherein at least some of said dolly members are formed of an environmentally friendly material. 10. A dolly assembly as recited in claim 1 wherein at least one of said dolly members is formed of a severable material, said one dolly member including an elongated configuration of sufficient length to facilitate a plurality of others of said dolly members being formed by being severed from said elongated configuration of said one dolly member. 11. A dolly assembly structured to be castor supported and assume a plurality of different supporting orientations, said dolly assembly comprising: a plurality of elongated dolly members each having oppositely disposed first and second outer faces extending along the length thereof,each of said dolly members comprising a plurality of connecting segments extending along the length thereof, each connecting segment structured to be connected to a castor,each of said connecting segments comprising a slot and a base, said slot extending inwardly from said first outer face to said base and said base extending from said second outer face to said slot,each of said bases including a passage structured to removably receive the castor therein; each passage having open ends respectively disposed in aligned relation with said second outer face and in communicating relation with a corresponding one of said slots,a connected orientation of any two said dolly members comprising a confronting relation of said bases of engaging connecting segments and a coaxially aligned relation of said passages of said confronting bases,said aligned passages disposed and dimensioned to concurrently retain the castor therein in interconnecting relation to said confronting bases, andeither of said passages of each of said confronting bases of engaging ones of said connecting segments being dimensioned and disposed to receive the castor therein by projection of the castor into either one of said second outer faces of said dolly members and concurrently into said base of the other of said dolly members in said connected orientation.
