DE19502533A1 - Pallet container system for storing, stacking and moving goods - Google Patents

Abstract

The base pallet (1) comes in different sizes and serves independently as the stacking base. When necessary the pallet can be completed by further side walls, front and back (2,3,4,5) to make up a closable container which can be built up stepwise to any height. The container parts and base pallet should be fixedly held together by snap locks or similar. Recycled waste plastics is pref. used to make the container parts.

Description

Various transport systems have been known for a long time in the world. The most popular transportation units are those used across Europe Euro pallet and the lattice box pallet. It's reusable packaging, which were developed for the transportation of goods by train. You are too built to a normalized level. However, countless companies have developed their own packaging. Part of it, for unusual or special products, is as Reusable packaging appears, but mostly it is disposable. You can find here: different sizes of pallets, wooden crates, bags, Sacks, bundles or just cardboard boxes - depending on the product range and quantities of the goods to be transported. Disposable pallets are almost always made to measure on the Euro pallet or built on part of it: 800 × 1200 for Euro pallets, 800 × 900, 800 × 800, 800 × 600, 800 × 400 and many others. Along with erected Cardboard boxes form a one-way cardboard container.

The problem is that there is a large variety of one-way pallets and cardboard boxes must be made. The disposable packaging will be mainly produced on a wood basis. Walk after the first use on the garbage and must be disposed of. Countless trees are falling every day to buy new disposable packaging. There is no so far flexible reusable system that the waste of recyclables could end.

The problem is caused by that listed in claim 1 Features (literal quotation of the features, if applicable) solved.

The advantages achieved with the invention are in particular that instead of a variety of different disposable pallets and Cardboard boxes only a reusable system can be applied. Regardless of whether it is a pallet or a container, instead of cardboard boxes, is needed. Especially with entrepreneurs who are always different The system can send quantities of goods, but also for all others  applied very successfully. Ordinary ones are sufficient for transportation Forklifts and pallet trucks.

The basic range is available in different sizes, e.g. B. as mentioned above, manufactured. Container parts come to every pallet. So you need a pair of basic pallets and the right one Container parts to have everything under control. To emphasize how flexible is the pallet / container system, I give an example: Suppose you have a basic pallet 800 × 600 and the container parts, so you can use the pallet alone or in one of the containers - Long × Wide × High - 800 × 600 × 500, 800 × 600 × 850, 800 × 600 × 1200, 800 × 600 × 1550, transform as needed. (Dimensions only as an example - non-binding). With six different ones You get 24 different containers on pallets. Depending on the storage space, the basic pallet replaces the one-way pallet instead of the one Cardboard boxes are placed on the basic pallet, as required, one, two, three or four rows of container parts. The container, can sealed and, if necessary, sealed, protects in it contained goods from dirt, splash water and mechanical Damage. A one-off purchase is sufficient, because the pallet / container System is provided as a reusable solution. Replacement of always new packaging, which draws great costs, fails here. In the reusable system, the pallets and containers can be easily carried Designate symbols, e.g. B .:

This can be very helpful as a shipping note for route planning become. The symbol bound with the cubature leads to better utilization the loading area, especially for truck use.

Another embodiment of the invention, which is of great advantage is specified in claim 3. The extraordinary environmentally friendly employment of the system does not only let through  Suspension of the one-way system, no more piles of rubbish grow out of it, but also leaves the plastic waste that nobody wants, reuse instead of dumping.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawings Fig. 1-9 and will be described in more detail below.

Explanation:
Fig. 1 shows a container consisting of a basic pallet ( 1 ), side parts ( 2 ), front parts ( 4 ), a front part with a built-in delivery note box ( 3 ) and a cover ( 5 ). All items are shown in Fig. 2-8. The following cuts (a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n) are intended to approximate an idea of the construction. The system is based on the basic pallet ( 1 ), which can either be used as a pallet for stacking goods or as a sub-floor for a container. To set up a container, depending on the storage space required, take a basic pallet ( 1 ). First the side parts ( 2 ) are installed, then the front parts ( 3 ) or ( 4 ), simply insert the plug pins ( 9 ) into the mounting holes ( 7 ), the clasp ( 6 ) is closed. The mounting holes are always on top of every basic pallet and every side and front part. The socket pins are always located at the bottom of each side and front part. The different placement of the mounting holes and the locking pins depending on the size of the pallet should prevent incorrect installation or the installation of parts that do not belong there. When the first row (2 + 2 + 3 + 4, 2 + 2 + 4 + 4) of container parts is set up, it can be loaded. A second, third and fourth row can be built up at any time. This follows as described above. Only when the container is loaded does the cover ( 5 ) come on, it is locked and, if necessary, sealed. At least one front part ( 4 ) with an integrated delivery note box should be installed in each container. The delivery note box ( 8 ) is intended to protect the documents; the shipping instructions can be read from the outside through a plastic disc. Fig. 9 shows two double containers disassembled and stacked on top of each other. In the form they can be stored or transported empty. Compared to a lattice box pallet with almost the same storage space, empty storage only requires approx. 35% of storage space. You can save even more space if basic pallets and container parts are stored individually in disassembled form.

Claims (3)

1. Pallet / container system for goods transport, for stacking, storage and transportation of goods, especially when using trucks, characterized in that the basic pallet ( 1 ) in various sizes serves as a base for stacking independently and if necessary by the Assembly of container parts ( 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ) becomes a closable, gradually high container. 2.
