Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a transport and storage rack, in particular a Langgutpalette, with at least two U-shaped carriers, which are interconnected by profiles and have a bottom-side portion and two upwardly projecting legs.
  • a transport and storage rack is known in which a base frame of longitudinal struts and cross struts is formed on the bottom side, wherein on the longitudinal struts upwardly projecting removable plug-in supports are provided.
  • the transport and storage rack can be stacked in the unloaded state to save space on each other.
  • no crane hooks can engage the plug-in supports and, after the crane cables have been secured to the longitudinal struts, the cables can damage the loading of the transport and storage rack.
  • the transport and storage rack is comparatively heavy and therefore expensive to handle.
  • At least one axis of rotation is formed on the bottom-side portion of the carrier and the legs can be pivoted so in an expanding position.
  • This allows the transport and storage rack are stacked in an open position into each other, so that only a minimum of space required for the transport of empty transport and storage racks.
  • the transport and storage rack still retains a high degree of stability for the loaded condition, since the rotation axis is arranged only in the bottom-side section and thus does not weaken the critical point adjacent to the legs.
  • a rotation axis is formed centrally on the bottom-side portion.
  • the transport and storage rack can be swung open along a median plane and stacked centered one inside the other.
  • the load on the bottom-side portion causes a force to be in the closed position. so that the transport and storage rack in the loaded state can not accidentally open.
  • the bars abut each other with one end face and offer a high degree of stability, wherein the axis of rotation is loaded only with a certain amount of tension.
  • a stop is formed adjacent to the axis of rotation, which limits the maximum opening position of the carrier.
  • the stacking position is predetermined and can be dimensioned so that the width of a pallet stack is adapted to the width of a bed of the truck.
  • the carriers are preferably stackable in the open position in a W-shape, wherein they can be latched in the open position, which simplifies handling.
  • a hinge joint can be fixed to a split beam at the bottom-side portion.
  • the hinge joint may be connected to the carrier via plates.
  • only a bolt can be provided as the axis of rotation, which is encompassed by webs on the beam of the carrier.
  • a plurality of axes of rotation are arranged on the bottom-side portion, so that the bottom-side portion can be folded and the legs are collapsible.
  • the carriers are preferably made of plastic.
  • a transport and storage rack 1 is used to transport elongated up to about 6m long objects, such as profiles, pipes, etc. and is also referred to as Langgutpalette.
  • the transport and storage rack 1 consists of several carriers 2 made of plastic, which are U-shaped and have a bottom-side portion 5 and two upwardly projecting leg 6.
  • the carrier 2 are connected to each other via profiles 3, which hold the individual carrier 2 at a predetermined distance.
  • Between the supports 2 diagonally tensioned clamping elements 4 are mounted, which are arranged like a truss between the profiles 3.
  • the transport and storage rack 1 may consist of seven to nine carriers 2, which are interconnected via profiles 3 and clamping elements 4, with only three carriers 2 being shown for better clarity.
  • the profiles 3 and clamping elements 4 high forces can be absorbed by the transport and storage rack, for example, when a forklift attacks in the middle or a crane pulls the transport and storage rack 1 on protruding legs 6 and moves without a major deflection takes place.
  • the transport and storage rack 1 may be relatively easily formed.
  • the bottom-side portion 5 is formed by divided beams 9 and 10, which are each formed integrally with the legs 6.
  • a rotation axis 7 is formed on the bottom side, which is formed by a hinge joint which is fixed with plates 8 on the beam 9 and 10 respectively.
  • the beams 9 and 10 In the closed state, the beams 9 and 10 abut each other with an end face 11, and by loading, the carrier 2 is also held in the closed position, regardless of whether a forklift engages under a carrier 2 or a crane at the top of the legs 6 attacks.
  • the carriers 2 are shown in the opened and nested position.
  • the bottom portion 5 has been pivoted with the split beam 9 and 10 about the axis 7, so that the legs 6 are slightly spread apart.
  • the maximum opening position of the transport and storage rack 1 may be limited by a stop which is arranged adjacent to the axis of rotation 7.
  • the transport and storage racks 1 can also be locked in the slightly open position in order to be able to move them back into the closed position only after applying a certain force.
  • FIG. 4 shows a modified embodiment of a transport and storage rack 1 'is shown.
  • the transport and storage rack 1 ' comprises U-shaped support 2', the upwardly projecting leg 6 'and the bottom side have a portion 5'.
  • the bottom-side portion 5 ' is formed of two beams 9' and 10 ', which are connected centrally via a hinge joint with a rotation axis 7.
  • the beams 9' and 10 ' are over another hinge joint connected to a rotation axis 16.
  • the U-shaped contour shown in Figures 1 and 2 results again.
  • the transport and storage rack 1 ' is shown in a possible transport position without loading.
  • the bottom-side bars 9 'and 10' have been pivoted about the axes 7 and 16, so that the bar 9 'and 10' is folded and the legs 6 'are pushed together.
  • the folding mechanism can also be made until a side surface 17 of the beam 9 'abuts against the leg 6' and the lower sides 19 and 20 of the beams 9 'and 10' abut each other and further the surface of the beam 10 'adjacent to the leg 6' , Then the transport and storage rack 1 'is completely folded and requires only a small space.
  • FIG 6 a transport and storage rack 1 according to Figures 1 and 2 is shown, in which the axis of rotation 7 is designed modified.
  • a rotation axis 21 on the bottom-side portion 5 is integrally formed with the one beam 10 of the carrier 2, while on the beam 9, a web portion 22 is provided which engages around the rotation axis 21.
  • these are pivotable about the rotation axis 21, wherein below the rotation axis 21, a gap 23 is provided so that a projection on the beam 9 can pivot into the gap up to a stop 25.
  • the maximum open position of the carrier 2 is predetermined. In the closed position, the beams 9 and 10 rest against one another with an end face 24 above the axis of rotation 21.
  • FIG. 7 shows a further embodiment of a transport and storage rack in the region of the bottom-side section 5, in which the bars 9 and 10 are pivotable about an axis 26.
  • the axis 26 is formed by a metallic bolt, which is encompassed by webs 27 and 28.
  • the axis 26 can not be moved in the radial direction, since the webs 27 and 28 engage around this substantially form-fitting manner.
  • a gap 23 is provided, so that the bars 9 and 10 can be pivoted to a stop 25 in the open position.
  • the beams 9 and 10 rest against a front face 24 in a closed position.
  • FIGS. 8 to 10 An embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, in which the axes of rotation 7, which make it possible to unfold into the transport position according to FIG. 10, are arranged in the region of a central part 12.
  • the central part 12 is formed in three parts in total, and accordingly two axes of rotation 7 are provided.
  • the extent so far symmetrically formed central portion 12 with the axes of rotation 7 may be arranged displaceably within the beams 9 and 10. It is also possible to postpone the middle part 12 as a sleeve on the adjacent ends of the beams.
  • the carrier 2 can be swung back into a position shown in FIG 9 and then completely pushed together, so that again the starting position of Figure 8 is taken.
  • This construction is advantageous insofar as only a transverse displacement of the two halves of the carrier 2 is necessary in order to move from the stacking position according to FIG. 10 into the use position according to FIG. 8 or vice versa.
  • constructions according to the invention are of course also applicable to pallets of metal, in particular of steel and other materials, in which the handling and stackability is in the foreground.
  • the rotation axis 7, 21 and 26 are each closer to the bottom than at the top of the bottom-side portion 5 of the carrier. 2 arranged.
  • the axis of rotation it is also possible to arrange the axis of rotation further up, if this simplifies handling.
  • the central part 12 may also be formed in two parts and then be equipped according to only one axis of rotation 7. In the latter case, then an asymmetrical construction of the central part 12, while the central part 12 in the case of its three-part design with two axes of rotation 7, as shown in Figures 8 to 10, has a symmetrical construction.
  • the middle part 12 can be inserted into the bottom-side section 5, so that the axes of rotation 7 are concealed in the state of charge and a kink-resistant connection is provided.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Transport- und Lagergestell, insbesondere eine Langgutpalette, mit mindestens zwei U-förmigen Trägem, die über Profile miteinander verbunden sind und einen bodenseitigen Abschnitt sowie zwei nach oben hervorstehende Schenkel aufweisen.The present invention relates to a transport and storage rack, in particular a Langgutpalette, with at least two U-shaped carriers, which are interconnected by profiles and have a bottom-side portion and two upwardly projecting legs.

Aus der DE 93 13 003 ist ein Transport- und Lagergestell bekannt, bei dem bodenseitig ein Grundrahmen aus Längsstreben und Querstreben gebildet ist, wobei an den Längsstreben nach oben ragende entfernbare Einsteckstützen vorgesehen sind. Durch Herausnehmen der Einsteckstützen kann das Transport- und Lagergestell im nicht beladenen Zustand raumsparend übereinander gestapelt werden. Nachteilig ist jedoch, daß alle Einsteckstützen einzeln demontiert werden müssen und somit die Montage und Demontage vergleichsweise aufwendig ist. Zudem besteht der Nachteil, daß an den Einsteckstützen keine Kranhaken eingreifen können und nach dem Festlegen der Kranseile an den Längsstreben die Seile die Beladung des Transport-und Lagergestells beschädigen kann. Ferner ist das Transport- und Lagergestell vergleichsweise schwer und damit aufwendig in der Handhabung.From the DE 93 13 003 a transport and storage rack is known in which a base frame of longitudinal struts and cross struts is formed on the bottom side, wherein on the longitudinal struts upwardly projecting removable plug-in supports are provided. By removing the Einsteckstützen the transport and storage rack can be stacked in the unloaded state to save space on each other. The disadvantage, however, that all plug-in supports must be removed individually and thus the assembly and disassembly is relatively expensive. There is also the disadvantage that no crane hooks can engage the plug-in supports and, after the crane cables have been secured to the longitudinal struts, the cables can damage the loading of the transport and storage rack. Furthermore, the transport and storage rack is comparatively heavy and therefore expensive to handle.

Aus der DE 42 33 673 ist ein Transportgestell für Langgut bekannt, bei dem U-förmige Träger vorgesehen sind, deren seitliche Schenkel nach innen verschwenkt werden können. Dadurch können die leeren Transportgestelle raumsparend gestapelt werden. Der Drehpunkt an den Schenkeln ist jedoch für statische Belastungen ungünstig und die Stabilität des Transportgestells begrenzt. Zudem besteht der Nachteil, daß ein Kran an den Schenkeln nicht angreifen kann, da diese sonst aus ihrer fixierten Position herausgezogen werden.From the DE 42 33 673 a transport frame for long goods is known, are provided in the U-shaped support, the lateral legs can be pivoted inwards. As a result, the empty transport racks can be stacked to save space. However, the pivot point on the legs is unfavorable for static loads and limits the stability of the Caddy. In addition, there is the disadvantage that a crane can not attack on the legs, as they are otherwise pulled out of its fixed position.

Es ist daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ein Transport- und Lagergestell zu schaffen, das einen stabilen Aufbau besitzt und im Leerzustand nur ein geringes Lagervolumen benötigt. Ferner sollen auch hohe mechanische Belastungen ausgehalten werden können.It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a transport and storage rack, which has a stable structure and in the empty state requires only a small storage volume. Furthermore, high mechanical loads should be able to be sustained.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit einem Transport- und Lagergestell mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 gelöst.This object is achieved with a transport and storage rack with the features of claim 1.

Erfindungsgemäß ist an dem bodenseitigen Abschnitt der Träger mindestens eine Drehachse ausgebildet und die Schenkel können so in eine aufspreizende Position verschwenkt werden. Dadurch kann das Transport- und Lagergestell in einer geöffneten Position ineinander gestapelt werden, so daß nur ein Minimum an Platzbedarf für den Transport leerer Transport- und Lagergestelle benötigt wird. Das Transport-und Lagergestell behält dennoch für den beladenen Zustand ein hohes Maß an Stabilität, da die Drehachse nur in dem bodenseitigen Abschnitt angeordnet ist und somit nicht den kritischen Punkt benachbart zu den Schenkeln schwächt.According to the invention at least one axis of rotation is formed on the bottom-side portion of the carrier and the legs can be pivoted so in an expanding position. This allows the transport and storage rack are stacked in an open position into each other, so that only a minimum of space required for the transport of empty transport and storage racks. The transport and storage rack still retains a high degree of stability for the loaded condition, since the rotation axis is arranged only in the bottom-side section and thus does not weaken the critical point adjacent to the legs.

Gemäß einer bevorzugten Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist eine Drehachse mittig an dem bodenseitigen Abschnitt ausgebildet. Dadurch kann das Transport- und Lagergestell entlang einer Mittelebene aufgeschwenkt werden und zentriert ineinander gestapelt werden.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, a rotation axis is formed centrally on the bottom-side portion. Thereby, the transport and storage rack can be swung open along a median plane and stacked centered one inside the other.

Wenn der bodenseitige Abschnitt durch einen geteilten Balken gebildet ist und die Drehachse näher am Boden als an der Oberseite des Balkens angeordnet ist, bewirkt die Ladung auf dem bodenseitigen Abschnitt eine Kraft in die geschlossene Position, so daß sich das Transport- und Lagergestell im beladenen Zustand nicht versehentlich öffnen kann. Zudem liegen die Balken mit einer Stirnseite aneinander an und bieten ein hohes Maß an Stabilität, wobei die Drehachse nur mit einem gewissen Zug belastet ist.When the bottom-side portion is formed by a split beam and the rotation axis is located closer to the bottom than to the top of the beam, the load on the bottom-side portion causes a force to be in the closed position. so that the transport and storage rack in the loaded state can not accidentally open. In addition, the bars abut each other with one end face and offer a high degree of stability, wherein the axis of rotation is loaded only with a certain amount of tension.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung ist benachbart zu der Drehachse ein Anschlag ausgebildet, der die maximale Öffnungsstellung der Träger begrenzt. Dadurch wird die Stapelposition vorgegeben und kann so bemessen werden, daß die Breite eines Palettenstapels an die Breite einer Ladefläche des Lkw angepaßt ist. Die Träger sind in der geöffneten Position vorzugsweise W-förmig stapelbar, wobei sie in der geöffneten Position verrastbar sein können, was die Handhabung vereinfacht.According to a further embodiment of the invention, a stop is formed adjacent to the axis of rotation, which limits the maximum opening position of the carrier. As a result, the stacking position is predetermined and can be dimensioned so that the width of a pallet stack is adapted to the width of a bed of the truck. The carriers are preferably stackable in the open position in a W-shape, wherein they can be latched in the open position, which simplifies handling.

Für eine besonders stabile Ausbildung der Drehachse kann ein Scharniergelenk an einem geteilten Balken an dem bodenseitigen Abschnitt festgelegt sein. Das Scharniergelenk kann über Platten mit dem Träger verbunden sein. Alternativ kann als Drehachse auch nur ein Bolzen vorgesehen sein, der von Stegen an dem Balken des Trägers umgriffen ist.For a particularly stable formation of the axis of rotation, a hinge joint can be fixed to a split beam at the bottom-side portion. The hinge joint may be connected to the carrier via plates. Alternatively, only a bolt can be provided as the axis of rotation, which is encompassed by webs on the beam of the carrier.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausgestaltung der Erfindung sind mehrere Drehachsen an dem bodenseitigen Abschnitt angeordnet, so daß der bodenseitige Abschnitt zusammengefaltet werden kann und die Schenkel zusammenschiebbar sind.According to a further embodiment of the invention a plurality of axes of rotation are arranged on the bottom-side portion, so that the bottom-side portion can be folded and the legs are collapsible.

Für ein möglichst geringes Gewicht des Transport- und Lagergestells bestehen die Träger vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff.For the lowest possible weight of the transport and storage rack, the carriers are preferably made of plastic.

Ein Transport- und Lagergestell 1 dient dem Transport von länglichen bis zu etwa 6m langen Gegenständen, wie Profilen, Rohren etc. und wird auch als Langgutpalette bezeichnet. Das Transport- und Lagergestell 1 besteht aus mehreren aus Kunststoff hergestellten Trägem 2, die U-förmig ausgebildet sind und einen bodenseitigen Abschnitt 5 sowie zwei nach oben hervorstehende Schenkel 6 aufweisen. Die Träger 2 sind über Profile 3 miteinander verbunden, die die einzelnen Träger 2 in einem vorbestimmten Abstand halten. Zwischen den Trägem 2 sind diagonal gespannte Spannelemente 4 montiert, die fachwerkartig zwischen den Profilen 3 angeordnet sind. Das Transport- und Lagergestell 1 kann aus sieben bis neun Trägem 2 bestehen, die über Profile 3 und Spannelemente 4 miteinander verbunden sind, wobei für eine bessere Übersichtlichkeit nur drei Träger 2 dargestellt sind. Durch die Profile 3 und Spannelemente 4 können durch das Transport- und Lagergestell hohe Kräfte aufgenommen werden, beispielsweise wenn ein Gabelstapler mittig angreift oder ein Kran das Transport- und Lagergestell 1 an hervorstehenden Schenkeln 6 zieht und bewegt, ohne daß eine größere Durchbiegung stattfindet. Zudem kann aufgrund des Einsatzes von Kunststoffmaterialien das Transport- und Lagergestell 1 vergleichsweise leicht ausgebildet sein.A transport and storage rack 1 is used to transport elongated up to about 6m long objects, such as profiles, pipes, etc. and is also referred to as Langgutpalette. The transport and storage rack 1 consists of several carriers 2 made of plastic, which are U-shaped and have a bottom-side portion 5 and two upwardly projecting leg 6. The carrier 2 are connected to each other via profiles 3, which hold the individual carrier 2 at a predetermined distance. Between the supports 2 diagonally tensioned clamping elements 4 are mounted, which are arranged like a truss between the profiles 3. The transport and storage rack 1 may consist of seven to nine carriers 2, which are interconnected via profiles 3 and clamping elements 4, with only three carriers 2 being shown for better clarity. By the profiles 3 and clamping elements 4 high forces can be absorbed by the transport and storage rack, for example, when a forklift attacks in the middle or a crane pulls the transport and storage rack 1 on protruding legs 6 and moves without a major deflection takes place. In addition, due to the use of plastic materials, the transport and storage rack 1 may be relatively easily formed.

Statt der gezeigten Seitenwände aus Profilen 3 und Spannelementen 4 können auch Streben oder Wandelemente eingesetzt werden, die wie ein Zaun zwischen zwei Trägem 2 montiert werden.Instead of the shown side walls of profiles 3 and clamping elements 4 and struts or wall elements can be used, which are mounted like a fence between two carriers 2.

In Figur 2 ist ein U-förmiger Träger 2 des Transport- und Lagergestells 1 in der Seitenansicht gezeigt. Der bodenseitige Abschnitt 5 ist durch geteilte Balken 9 und 10 gebildet, die jeweils einstückig mit den Schenkeln 6 ausgebildet sind. In dem Verbindungsbereich zwischen den Balken 9 und 10 ist eine Drehachse 7 bodenseitig ausgebildet, die durch ein Scharniergelenk gebildet ist, das mit Platten 8 an dem Balken 9 bzw. 10 befestigt ist. In dem geschlossenen Zustand liegen die Balken 9 und 10 mit einer Stirnfläche 11 aneinander an und durch eine Beladung wird der Träger 2 auch in der geschlossenen Position gehalten, unabhängig davon, ob ein Gabelstapler unter einen Träger 2 greift oder ein Kran an der Oberseite der Schenkel 6 angreift.2 shows a U-shaped carrier 2 of the transport and storage rack 1 is shown in side view. The bottom-side portion 5 is formed by divided beams 9 and 10, which are each formed integrally with the legs 6. In the connecting region between the beams 9 and 10, a rotation axis 7 is formed on the bottom side, which is formed by a hinge joint which is fixed with plates 8 on the beam 9 and 10 respectively. In the closed state, the beams 9 and 10 abut each other with an end face 11, and by loading, the carrier 2 is also held in the closed position, regardless of whether a forklift engages under a carrier 2 or a crane at the top of the legs 6 attacks.

In Figur 3 sind die Träger 2 in der geöffneten und ineinandergestapelten Position gezeigt. Hierfür ist der Bodenabschnitt 5 mit dem geteilten Balken 9 und 10 um die Achse 7 verschwenkt worden, so daß die Schenkel 6 leicht aufspreizend auseinanderstehen. Dadurch ergibt sich eine W-förmige Kontur und die einzelnen Transport-und Lagergestelle 1 können ineinandergelegt werden, wobei die Breite so bemessen ist, daß sie auf die Ladefläche eines Lkw oder eines Teils davon abgestimmt ist. Dabei kann die maximale Öffnungsstellung des Transport- und Lagergestells 1 durch einen Anschlag begrenzt sein, der benachbart zu der Drehachse 7 angeordnet ist. Für eine einfache Handhabung können die Transport- und Lagergestelle 1 in der leicht geöffneten Position auch verrastet werden, um erst nach Aufbringen einer gewissen Kraft diese wieder in die geschlossene Position bewegen zu können.In Figure 3, the carriers 2 are shown in the opened and nested position. For this purpose, the bottom portion 5 has been pivoted with the split beam 9 and 10 about the axis 7, so that the legs 6 are slightly spread apart. This results in a W-shaped contour and the individual transport and storage racks 1 can be nested, wherein the width is such that it is adapted to the bed of a truck or a part thereof. In this case, the maximum opening position of the transport and storage rack 1 may be limited by a stop which is arranged adjacent to the axis of rotation 7. For ease of handling, the transport and storage racks 1 can also be locked in the slightly open position in order to be able to move them back into the closed position only after applying a certain force.

In Figur 4 ist ein modifiziertes Ausführungsbeispiel eines Transport- und Lagergestelles 1' dargestellt. Das Transport- und Lagergestell 1' umfaßt U-förmige Träger 2', die nach oben hervorstehende Schenkel 6' und bodenseitig einen Abschnitt 5' aufweisen. Der bodenseitige Abschnitt 5' ist aus zwei Balken 9' und 10' gebildet, die mittig über ein Scharniergelenk mit einer Drehachse 7 verbunden sind. Auf der Seite zu den Schenkeln 6' sind die Balken 9' und 10' über ein weiteres Schamiergelenk mit einer Drehachse 16 verbunden. Im geschlossenen Zustand ergibt sich wieder die in den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellte U-förmige Kontur.4 shows a modified embodiment of a transport and storage rack 1 'is shown. The transport and storage rack 1 'comprises U-shaped support 2', the upwardly projecting leg 6 'and the bottom side have a portion 5'. The bottom-side portion 5 'is formed of two beams 9' and 10 ', which are connected centrally via a hinge joint with a rotation axis 7. On the side of the legs 6 ', the beams 9' and 10 'are over another hinge joint connected to a rotation axis 16. In the closed state, the U-shaped contour shown in Figures 1 and 2 results again.

In Figur 5 ist das Transport- und Lagergestell 1' in einer möglichen Transportstellung ohne Beladung gezeigt. Hierfür sind die bodenseitigen Balken 9' und 10' um die Achsen 7 und 16 verschwenkt worden, so daß der Balken 9' und 10' zusammengefaltet ist und die Schenkel 6' zusammengeschoben sind. Der Faltmechanismus kann auch erfolgen, bis eine Seitenfläche 17 des Balkens 9' an dem Schenkel 6' anliegt und die Unterseiten 19 und 20 der Balken 9' und 10' aneinander anliegen und ferner die Oberfläche des Balkens 10' benachbart zu dem Schenkel 6' liegt. Dann ist das Transport- und Lagergestell 1' vollständig zusammengeklappt und benötigt nur einen geringen Raum.In Figure 5, the transport and storage rack 1 'is shown in a possible transport position without loading. For this purpose, the bottom-side bars 9 'and 10' have been pivoted about the axes 7 and 16, so that the bar 9 'and 10' is folded and the legs 6 'are pushed together. The folding mechanism can also be made until a side surface 17 of the beam 9 'abuts against the leg 6' and the lower sides 19 and 20 of the beams 9 'and 10' abut each other and further the surface of the beam 10 'adjacent to the leg 6' , Then the transport and storage rack 1 'is completely folded and requires only a small space.

In Figur 6 ist ein Transport- und Lagergestell 1 nach den Figuren 1 und 2 dargestellt, bei dem die Drehachse 7 modifiziert ausgestaltet ist. Eine Drehachse 21 an dem bodenseitigen Abschnitt 5 ist integral mit dem einen Balken 10 des Trägers 2 ausgebildet, während an dem Balken 9 ein Stegabschnitt 22 vorgesehen ist, der die Drehachse 21 umgreift. Durch eine entsprechende Profilierung der Balken 9 und 10 sind diese um die Drehachse 21 verschwenkbar, wobei unterhalb der Drehachse 21 ein Spalt 23 vorgesehen ist, damit ein Vorsprung an dem Balken 9 in den Spalt bis zu einem Anschlag 25 verschwenken kann. Dadurch wird die maximale Öffnungsstellung des Trägers 2 vorgegeben. In der geschlossenen Position lehnen die Balken 9 und 10 mit einer Stirnfläche 24 oberhalb der Drehachse 21 aneinander an.In Figure 6, a transport and storage rack 1 according to Figures 1 and 2 is shown, in which the axis of rotation 7 is designed modified. A rotation axis 21 on the bottom-side portion 5 is integrally formed with the one beam 10 of the carrier 2, while on the beam 9, a web portion 22 is provided which engages around the rotation axis 21. By a corresponding profiling of the beams 9 and 10, these are pivotable about the rotation axis 21, wherein below the rotation axis 21, a gap 23 is provided so that a projection on the beam 9 can pivot into the gap up to a stop 25. As a result, the maximum open position of the carrier 2 is predetermined. In the closed position, the beams 9 and 10 rest against one another with an end face 24 above the axis of rotation 21.

In Figur 7 ist eine weitere Ausführungsform eines Transport- und Lagergestells im Bereich des bodenseitigen Abschnittes 5 gezeigt, bei dem die Balken 9 und 10 um eine Achse 26 verschwenkbar sind. Die Achse 26 ist durch einen metallischen Bolzen gebildet, der von Stegen 27 und 28 umgriffen ist. Die Achse 26 kann nicht in radiale Richtung bewegt werden, da die Stege 27 und 28 diese im wesentlichen formschlüssig umgreifen. Unterhalb der Achs 26 ist wiederum ein Spalt 23 vorgesehen, so daß die Balken 9 und 10 bis zu einem Anschlag 25 in die geöffnete Position verschwenkt werden können. Oberhalb der Achse 26 liegen die Balken 9 und 10 in einer geschlossenen Position wieder an einer Stirnfläche 24 an.FIG. 7 shows a further embodiment of a transport and storage rack in the region of the bottom-side section 5, in which the bars 9 and 10 are pivotable about an axis 26. The axis 26 is formed by a metallic bolt, which is encompassed by webs 27 and 28. The axis 26 can not be moved in the radial direction, since the webs 27 and 28 engage around this substantially form-fitting manner. Below the axis 26, in turn, a gap 23 is provided, so that the bars 9 and 10 can be pivoted to a stop 25 in the open position. Above the axis 26, the beams 9 and 10 rest against a front face 24 in a closed position.

In den Figuren 8 bis 10 ist ein Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung dargestellt, bei dem die Drehachsen 7, welche das Aufklappen in die Transportstellung gemäß Figur 10 ermöglichen, im Bereich eines Mittelteiles 12 angeordnet sind. Im dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiel ist das Mittelteil 12 insgesamt dreiteilig ausgebildet und entsprechend sind zwei Drehachsen 7 vorgesehen.An embodiment of the invention is shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, in which the axes of rotation 7, which make it possible to unfold into the transport position according to FIG. 10, are arranged in the region of a central part 12. In the illustrated embodiment, the central part 12 is formed in three parts in total, and accordingly two axes of rotation 7 are provided.

Das insoweit insgesamt symmetrisch ausgebildete Mittelteil 12 mit den Drehachsen 7 kann innerhalb der Balken 9 und 10 verschiebbar angeordnet sein. Ebenso besteht die Möglichkeit, das Mittelteil 12 als Hülse auf die einander benachbarten Enden der Balken aufzuschieben.The extent so far symmetrically formed central portion 12 with the axes of rotation 7 may be arranged displaceably within the beams 9 and 10. It is also possible to postpone the middle part 12 as a sleeve on the adjacent ends of the beams.

Sind die beiden Balken 9 und 10 wie in Figur 8 gezeigt, zusammengeschoben, sind die Drehachsen 7 funktionslos und der Träger 2 in sich stabilisiert. Erst dann, wenn die beiden Balken 9 und 10 soweit auseinandergezogen sind, dass die Drehachsen frei liegen, wie in Figur 9 gezeigt, kann der Träger 2 in die aus Figur 10 ersichtliche Form aufgeschwenkt werden.If the two beams 9 and 10, as shown in Figure 8, pushed together, the axes of rotation 7 are inoperative and the carrier 2 stabilized in itself. Only when the two beams 9 and 10 are pulled apart so far that the axes of rotation are exposed, as shown in Figure 9, the carrier 2 can be pivoted in the manner shown in Figure 10 form.

Anschließend kann der Träger 2 wieder in eine Position gemäß Figur 9 zurückgeschwenkt und dann vollständig zusammengeschoben werden, sodass wieder die Ausgangsposition der Figur 8 eingenommen wird.Subsequently, the carrier 2 can be swung back into a position shown in FIG 9 and then completely pushed together, so that again the starting position of Figure 8 is taken.

Diese Konstruktion ist insoweit vorteilhaft, als lediglich eine Querverschiebung der beiden Hälften des Trägers 2 notwendig ist, um aus der Stapelposition gemäß Figur 10 in die Gebrauchsstellung gemäß Figur 8 oder umgekehrt zu gelangen.This construction is advantageous insofar as only a transverse displacement of the two halves of the carrier 2 is necessary in order to move from the stacking position according to FIG. 10 into the use position according to FIG. 8 or vice versa.

Die erfindungsgemäßen Konstruktionen sind selbstverständlich auch anwendbar bei Paletten aus Metall, insbesondere aus Stahl und anderen Werkstoffen, bei denen die Handhabung und Stapelbarkeit im Vordergrund steht.The constructions according to the invention are of course also applicable to pallets of metal, in particular of steel and other materials, in which the handling and stackability is in the foreground.

In den dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen ist die Drehachse 7, 21 und 26 jeweils näher am Boden als an der Oberseite des bodenseitigen Abschnitts 5 der Träger 2 angeordnet. Es ist natürlich auch möglich, die Drehachse weiter oben anzuordnen, wenn dies die Handhabung vereinfacht.In the illustrated embodiments, the rotation axis 7, 21 and 26 are each closer to the bottom than at the top of the bottom-side portion 5 of the carrier. 2 arranged. Of course, it is also possible to arrange the axis of rotation further up, if this simplifies handling.

Abweichend von dem in den Figuren 8 bis 10 gezeigten Ausführungsbeispiel kann das Mittelteil 12 auch zweiteilig ausgebildet und dann entsprechend nur mit einer Drehachse 7 ausgestattet sein. Im letzteren Falle ergibt sich dann eine asymmetrische Konstruktion des Mittelteiles 12, während das Mittelteil 12 im Falle seiner dreiteiligen Ausbildung mit zwei Drehachsen 7, wie in den Figuren 8 bis 10 gezeigt, eine symmetrische Konstruktion aufweist. Das Mittelteil 12 kann dabei in den bodenseitigen Abschnitt 5 eingeschoben werden, so dass die Drehachsen 7 im Ladezustand verdeckt angeordnet sind und eine knickfeste Verbindung bereitgestellt ist. Für den Transport kann dann der mittelseitige Abschnitt 5 verschoben werden, so dass das Mittelteil 12 mit den Drehachsen 7 ein Aufspreizen des Transport- und Lagergestells 1 ermöglicht.Notwithstanding the embodiment shown in Figures 8 to 10, the central part 12 may also be formed in two parts and then be equipped according to only one axis of rotation 7. In the latter case, then an asymmetrical construction of the central part 12, while the central part 12 in the case of its three-part design with two axes of rotation 7, as shown in Figures 8 to 10, has a symmetrical construction. The middle part 12 can be inserted into the bottom-side section 5, so that the axes of rotation 7 are concealed in the state of charge and a kink-resistant connection is provided. For transport then the middle-side section 5 can be moved so that the central part 12 with the axes of rotation 7 allows spreading of the transport and storage rack 1.

In den dargestellten Ausführungsbeispielen sind die Träger 2 und Profile 3 aus Kunststoff hergestellt. Es ist natürlich auch möglich, Mischungen aus Kunststoff und Metallelementen vorzusehen, die immer noch ein geringeres Eigengewicht als die Langgutpaletten aus Stahl besitzen. Insbesondere können an den Schenkeln 6 Haken mit metallischen Befestigungselementen vorgesehen sein, damit das Transport- und Lagergestell 1 auch hängend transportiert werden kann.In the illustrated embodiments, the carrier 2 and 3 profiles are made of plastic. Of course, it is also possible to provide mixtures of plastic and metal elements, which still have a lower dead weight than the long pallets made of steel. In particular, 6 hooks can be provided with metallic fasteners on the legs, so that the transport and storage rack 1 can also be transported hanging.
