FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a device for loading and unloading sod, more particularly, unloading of sod from a pallet. This has been a time consuming task for sod farmers who deliver sod to a plurality of end-users on a frequent basis. The plane, horizontal platforms, on which sod is transported, such as wooden or plastic pallets, are either left at the end-user site or picked up at the farmer's expense. An invention that would eliminate the need to leave pallets at the end-user's site or to have the pallets picked up by the farmer, by allowing the insertion of 1o typical mufti-bar sod forks between the sod and the pallet thus enabling for immediate retrieval of said pallet, would prove to be an effective cost and time saving addition to the art.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
It is desirable to have the ability to immediately retrieve sod pallets at time of delivery from sod farms to avoid the cost and time necessary to regain possession of said pallets.
Conventional pallets, either wooden or plastic, typically comprise: three lower supporting members as the contact portion to the resting surface namely a floor or the ground to form the structural quality of a pallet, and a plurality of separate upper members fixedly and perpendicularly attached above the said supporting members. This assembly forms a plane, horizontal, structurally stable surface on which materials may be placed and transported upon.
Consequently, removal of sod from pallet remains a manual task not allowing for immediate access and return of the above-mentioned pallet assembly at point of delivery.
It is known in the field of sod farming to utilize a mufti-bar fork assembly similar to that depicted in U. S. Patent No. 5,538,387 issued July 23, 1996 to Durivage et al.
An accessory device, which would provide access between the sod and the pallet, allowing the removal of said sod from the pallet thus enabling the retrieval of said pallet, is highly desirable.
Pallets are, of course, well know in prior art, to facilitate the storing, handling and transporting of materials including more particularly rolled or dabbed sod, but fail to enable the 1o insertion of mufti-bar sod forks between the sod and the pallet.
The pallets include, but are not limited to sod. The accessory device includes, but is not limited to sod.
The applicant is aware of several attempts in prior art to produce pallets, which are utilized as a means of handling and transporting materials. For example, reference may be had to U.S. Patent 3,294,041 of A. Lessheim, issued December 27, 1966, which describes a two part pallet comprising of a disposable upper portion fabricated of light inexpensive wood members which can be left at the destination point, and a lower more valuable and sturdy portion used to raise the said upper portion to enable access below the upper portion with typical 2-bar lift truck forks. This said lower portion is utilized at the point of departure and remains at that location. However, this device fails to meet the needs of sod farmers.
Specifically, the device fails to provide adequate horizontal surface on which the said sod may rest.
Moreover, such a device is constructed of few thin wood framing members which could not withstand the immense weight produced by the sod. Thus it is desirable to place sod on a sturdy surface which could withstand the weight applied by the sod. It is also desirable to maintain possession of all pallets and the like at the point of destination. Although fairly inexpensive, the above mentioned device still requires the production of this upper section thus creating an expense for the sod farmer.
Another example in prior art may be found in U.S. Patent 4,051,787 to Kiyoshi Nishitani, issued October 4, 1977, which discloses an anti-slip thermoplastic resin pallet wherein the said pallet is formed in such a manner as to comprise of two integrally mating sections which, when together, form a study, longer wear pallet. Unfortunately, this pallet fails to allow the insertion of typical multi-bar sod forks, thus rendering this invention as unable to meet the need to maintain possession of same without the expense and time required to do so.
Lastly, another example may be found in U.S. Patent 5,704,300 to William J, 1o Rushton, issued January 6, 1998, which depicts a standard pallet but accompanied with the benefit of long wear from its plastic construction. However, once more, fails to provide access between the sod and the pallet.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is thus an object of the present invention to provide an accessory device combining a material handling function with means to allow insertion of mufti-bar lift truck forks between the sod and the pallet thus enabling the load of sod or the like to be lifted vertically from the horizontal pallet.
In one aspect of the invention, there is provided a material resting means comprising a plane, horizontal sheet of sufficient thickness to allow for repeated friction from lift 2o truck mufti-bar forks, and a plurality of upwardly and inwardly beveled reversed ribs fabricated in such a way that the lower sheet portion and the upper rib portion are as one entity.
This first accessory device would therefore be fixedly and securely attached to any standard wooden or plastic pallet assembly thus enabling access to the above-mentioned mufti-bar forks between ribs of said accessory device and material, more particularly, rolled sod which rests on the ribs and within the valleys between the beveled sides, and also allowing access for standard two-bar forks to be inserted below the said first accessory device and upper supporting members of a standard pallet and between the lower members of same.
In another aspect of the invention, the first accessory device may form an integral portion of a pallet.
In another aspect of the invention, the first accessory device may be releasably attached to a pallet.
In another aspect of the invention, the first accessory device may include voids in to the lower, plane, sheet portion of the said accessory device to reduce its total weight.
In another aspect of the invention, the pallet may be fabricated of wood, thermoplastic resin, processed wood fiber or the like.
In another aspect of the invention, the first accessory device may include a second accessory device comprising of tapered inserts utiliaed for filling the space between one or more of the valleys formed by the raised beveled upper portions of the said accessory device, allowing for the placement of dabbed sod thus enabling this form of loading to benefit equally from the first accessory device.
In another aspect of the invention, the first and/or second accessory devices may be fabricated of wood, thermoplastic resin, processed wood fiber or the like.
2o The accessory device of the present invention provides means to enable mufti-bar lift truck forks to be inserted below not only sod but to a plurality of materials while maintaining all the advantages of the inventions denoted in prior art and overcoming many of the disadvantages.
Accordingly, the invention provides a device which enables the removal of material, more particularly rolled or dabbed sod to be wholly removed from a pallet thus allowing immediate access and retrieval of said pallet for return to its departing location.
