IMPROVEMENT INTRODUCED IN A SET OF DEVICES FOR LOCKING BOX STACKS [001] Field of the invention [002] The present utility model refers to an improvement introduced in a set - more particularly a pair of devices that are used in the following storage and transport of products that are not packed in boxes - mainly ceramic clad plates and related products - and more particularly boxes that are organized and transported on pallets, which are wooden or steel decks, which can be picked up and moved by forklift machines.

[003] State of the art [004] It is known that in the follow-up of transport and cargo handling, the main objectives are practicality, agility and safety, among others. Since, for products packaged in boxes (as well as other types of packaging), pallets are used, which are small wooden or steel pallets, of standard size and shape, which is used in areas cargo handling and transportation, receiving a limited amount of cargo, and can be easily lifted, moved and repositioned, either inside the storage area, or for loading in cargo vehicles, such as trucks. In turn, some types of cargo have some instability on the pallet, especially during its movement and transport, especially in the case of ceramic tiles and similar products, which slide easily from one to the other, already which are stacked on the pallet, thus causing accidents and serious economic and human damage. In order to solve or alleviate this problem, the tracking industry developed some time ago

2/6 time a set - pair - of devices, which are strategically placed between the stacks of boxes deposited on a pallet, in order to lock the boxes together, preventing their horizontal sliding movement, which causes the collapses of the boxes to collapse. stacks. These devices basically comprise one which is disposed on the outer face of the cell and one which is disposed on the cell core. Since, the external device comprises an element of two metal splints fixed together in the form of an inverted letter T, the ends of which are joined by two respective slender rods, forming a triangle. Whereas, the cell core device comprises a lower horizontal splint, on which a folded splint in the form of an inverted letter V, with a substantially acute angle, is fixed vertically. The external device is positioned between two stacks of boxes, which rest on the lower horizontal segment, and are separated by the vertical segment, thus using their own weight to support themselves horizontally in the vertical segment, avoiding sliding horizontally. In turn, the core device is positioned in the central region of the pallet, so that the stacks are also supported on their lower horizontal segment, so that their horizontal movements bar in the vertical segments.

[005] The described objects offer a reasonable result, however, both present a very great fragility, so that, frequently, the excessive efforts end up causing their deformation, and even their breaking, which may result in the collapse of the stacks of boxes on the pallet. Since the main reason for this fragility is the fact that, in the case of the external device, what provides resistance to horizontal stresses are only those two thin rods between the ends of the T splints, while in the case of the device

3/6 central, its resistance is given only at the two junction points between the two vertical splints V and the lower horizontal splint, with the possibility of breaking.

[006] Objectives of the Invention [007] In order to solve these drawbacks, the present utility model was developed, in which a set - pair - of pallet box locking devices is presented, which are constructed in a that resist substantially more to the horizontal sliding efforts of the boxes. In the case of the external device, the space between the thin rods and the edges of the splints is closed by a rigid wall of correspondingly triangular shape, and provided with structural reinforcement ribs, thus substantially increasing the capacity to resist the efforts suffered by the device. Whereas, the internal device has the space between the internal edges of the three splints that form it, also closed by a rigid wall and correspondingly triangular in shape, also substantially increasing the capacity to resist the efforts suffered by the device.

[026] Detailed description of the invention [027] According to these illustrations, the present utility model: IMPROVEMENT INTRODUCED IN A SET OF DEVICES FOR LOCKING BOXES INCLUDES comprises a set formed by two devices, being that, figures 1 to 9 reveal an External Device, which comprises a longitudinal and horizontal rectangular plate (1), on whose upper surface and middle region is fixed perpendicularly a longitudinal and vertical rectangular plate (2), thus configuring an inverted T letter. Since, between the front edges of the verticalized plate (2) and the top edges of the plate

Petition 870160069374, of 11/22/2016, p. 33/41

5/6 horizontally (1) two respective triangular plates (3) are fixed, thus configuring a single larger triangular plate - on whose rear face protrusions (4) and (5) are formed as structural reinforcement ribs.

[028] In turn, FIGS 10 to 16 reveal an Internal Device, which initially comprises a longitudinal and horizontal plate (6), on whose upper face and middle region two rectangular and longitudinal plates (7) are gently inclined, its lower ends slightly apart, while its upper ends converge convergingly, thus configuring an inverted letter V. Since, between the front faces of the two inclined plates (7) and the upper face of the horizontal plate (6) - only in the space between the lower ends of the two inclined plates (7) - a vertical wall of triangular shape is formed (8 ), which thus joins the two said inclined plates (7) and the horizontalized plate (6) together.

[029] The operation of this IMPROVEMENT INTRODUCED IN A SET OF DEVICES FOR LOCKING BOX STACKS is very simple and practical. Since, when stacking boxes of ceramic tiles - or any other product packed in boxes - on a pallet, an external device must be inserted on each side of the stack of boxes, more precisely between two stacks, so that, horizontal plate (1) is trapped under the weight of the box stacks, while the vertical plate (2) is inserted between the vertical spaces between two box stacks, thus avoiding easy horizontal movement of the stacks.

[030] In turn, the internal device (Fig 10 to Fig 16) must be inserted in the center of the pallet, so that the boxes also deposit their weight on the horizontalized plate (6), while their side faces support any horizontal movement on the inclined plates (7).

6/6 [031] It should be noted that, correspondingly, the triangular walls (3) and (8) provide an increase in the resistance of their respective devices, ensuring greater safety for the transport and movement of boxes of ceramic tiles on pallets and similar .

[032] Logically, this IMPROVEMENT INTRODUCED IN A SET OF DEVICES FOR LOCKING BOX STACKS can be built with a variety of sizes and proportions, according to the sizes and proportions of the boxes to be stacked on the pallets. As well as, its elements may vary in their geometric shapes, as well as in their (material) constitution, as long as the particular characteristics are maintained and are essential to its realization.
