Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention relates to a device for securing cargo, in particular beverage crates, comprising a four-way pallet for receiving the cargo and a securing device for securing the cargo on the four-way pallet.

STATE OF THE ART

Vierwegpaletten, for example, according to EN 13698-1 standardized transport pallets known as Europoolpaletten or short Euro pallets are often used to summarize individual, preferably similar, cargo elements of the cargo to a charging unit, which is handled by means of Vierwegpalette in a simple manner and in transportation by means of suitable load-moving means, such as, for example, forklifts or pallet trucks, from one place to another is movable. For transport over longer distances, four-way pallets are generally loaded onto transport vehicles, such as trucks or rail vehicles.

So that the load does not detach from the four-way pallet during transport and moves uncontrollably in the transport vehicle or falls off the transport vehicle, it is known in the prior art that safety devices are provided by means of which the load is secured to the four-way pallet. For example, is from the DE 601 02 816 T2 known that a cover is placed on the load, which is held on the four-way pallet via two straps. In a similar way, the beats DE 42 29 537 A1 To attach a tension belt magazine with several straps and a self-winding unit to a four-way pallet.

In particular, for load which consists of a variety of similar charging elements, such as boxes or boxes, which are both side by side and stacked on the four-way pallet for the purpose of transport and have a higher than average mass, a fuse unit according to the prior art, however, is not sufficient to ensure safe transport.

For example, in the media, reports of accidents involving lorries loaded with crates as cargo are becoming more frequent. Due to the high inertia forces during braking or acceleration maneuvers or by the high centrifugal forces when cornering while dissolved in the upper levels crates solve the underlying boxes or four-way pallets, so that the crates generally spread over the entire roadway and consuming Cleaning up necessary. Known security devices, especially safety straps, are not able to absorb the forces occurring and prevent slipping of the crates without a very high number of security elements such as securing straps must not be provided, which must be secured with uneconomically high time and again solved.

Another problem of the prior art occurs in the field of storage logistics, especially in the storage of crates. When shifting in the warehouse usually no security devices are present, so that the stacked elements, such as crates, are held solely by gravity and friction on the four-way pallet. If an unsecured loaded four-way pallet is now transported by means of an industrial truck, even slight deflections or accelerations may be sufficient for the load to slip at least partially from the four-way pallet. Also, when stacking several unsecured loaded four-way pallets one above the other, there is an increased risk that cargo will detach from the four-way pallet when stacking or removing another four-way pallet.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

It is therefore an object of the invention to overcome the disadvantages of the prior art and to propose a device for securing cargo on a four-way pallet, which has an increased stability for securing the cargo and is attachable to a four-way pallet in a simple manner.

PRESENTATION OF THE INVENTION

This object is achieved in a device according to the invention for securing cargo, in particular beverage crates, of the type mentioned above in that the securing device comprises at least one two vertical elements and a horizontal element comprehensive securing linkage, which spans the Vierwegpalette in a length direction and / or a width direction like a bridge in order to prevent movements of the cargo during transport, wherein on two opposite sides of the four-way pallet in each case at least one receiving element for releasable connection of the vertical elements is attached.

The at least one securing linkage thus gives the securing device the necessary stability, because the vertical elements and the horizontal element form a bridge-like unit which spans or bridges a volume provided for the load above the four-way pallet without the need for loading on the pallet. The Vierwegpalette generally has two opposite broad sides and two opposite longitudinal sides, wherein the broad sides are aligned parallel to the width direction and the longitudinal sides parallel to a length direction and length direction and width direction are aligned orthogonal to each other.

In a first embodiment variant of the invention, one of the vertical elements of a securing linkage is attached to each longitudinal side, the vertical elements extending substantially parallel to a height direction which forms an orthogonal system with the length and width directions. Preferably, the vertical elements are arranged opposite one another. For the purpose of connecting the vertical elements with the Vierwegpalette, receiving elements are attached to the longitudinal sides of the Vierwegpalette, in which the vertical elements are preferably at least partially inserted. The horizontal element connects the two vertical elements and extends between the two vertical elements substantially parallel to the width direction, so that the securing linkage spans the Vierwegpalette in the width direction like a bridge.

In a second embodiment, the vertical elements of a securing linkage at the two broad sides, preferably opposite each other, mounted and also extend substantially parallel to the height direction. For the purpose of connecting the vertical elements with the four-way pallet, the receiving elements are attached to the broad sides of the four-way pallet. The horizontal element connecting the two vertical elements extends essentially parallel to the length direction, so that the securing linkage spans the four-way pallet in the lengthwise direction in a bridge-like manner.

In both variants, forms by the at least one four-way pallet bridge-like spanning fuse linkage a kind of cage from which the stacked cargo, preferably the crates, is applied, thus preventing the detachment of stacked cargo. Thus, it is ensured that the load, if it is aufläichtet on the four-way pallet, can not detach during transport. It is advantageous if the vertical elements are dimensioned such that they are adapted to the intended height of the load, for example, two, three, four or five rows of crates. In principle, it is also conceivable that a plurality of securing linkage of one of the two variants are arranged side by side or that one or more securing linkages of both variants are simultaneously provided on a four-way pallet.

As a result of the releasable fixing of the at least one securing linkage to the receiving elements attached to the four-way pallet, the securing device according to the invention can be connected in a simple manner with the four-way pallet or, if necessary, dismantled. The receiving elements are preferably fixedly attached to the four-way pallet and in particular can not be dismantled with simple means. Thus, the safety device can be solved with little effort from the Vierwegpalette, for example, to transport the empty pallets to save space, and can be mounted with a few simple steps again. Another advantage of the invention is that commercial Vierwegpaletten can be used in a simple manner for use with the securing device by these are retrofitted with the receiving elements.

In order not to reduce the area available for receiving cargo on the four-way pallet by the securing device and thereby to ensure that the amount of load that can be received in the device, for example in the width direction two and in the length direction four beverage crates, is not reduced, is a further embodiment of the invention, that the receiving elements are mounted on the Vierwegpalette such that the vertical elements along a Seen height direction outside the outline of the Vierwegpalette when the vertical elements are accommodated in the receiving elements.

In order to install the receiving elements in a simple manner to save space on the Vierwegpalette and at the same time to allow optimal alignment of the securing linkage relative to cargo, is provided in a preferred embodiment of the invention that the Vierwegpalette has a recess for each of the receiving elements, wherein the Dimensions of the recesses are chosen such that the vertical elements when viewed along a height direction flush with the outline of the Vierwegpalette complete when the vertical elements are received in the receiving elements. In other words, the receiving elements are set back by the recesses behind the contour of the four-way pallet and thus enable the vertical elements introduced into the receiving elements to be flush with the outline. So if you look at the device from above, so seen along the height direction, so include the vertical elements directly to the outline of the Vierwegpalette.

It goes without saying that the recesses for the receiving elements can be provided regardless of the dimensions with respect to the flush of the vertical elements in order to receive the receiving elements partially or completely. By the recesses can be generally prevented that project the receiving elements far beyond the outline of the four-way pallet. Thus, the recessed receiving elements allow the devices on a loading surface to be approximately as narrow as conventional four-way pallets.

In a further embodiment, it is provided that the Vierwegpalette circumferentially three support blocks, preferably made of solid wood, and that the receiving elements are secured in the region of the support blocks by means of at least one fastener on the Vierwegpalette. By attaching the receiving elements to the support blocks a high stability is ensured, so that high forces can be introduced via the safety linkage in the Vierwegpalette. As fasteners are, for example, screws, nails, bolts or pins, in particular, the screwing of the fasteners should not fall below a minimum value. It is advantageous if the support blocks are solid, such as solid wood or a metal, such as aluminum.

According to a further preferred embodiment of the invention, it is provided that the securing device comprises at least two securing rods, wherein the securing rods are spaced apart in the length direction or width direction. By means of the two or more securing linkages, a plurality of juxtaposed rows of load, for example beverage crates, can be reliably secured, with the width of the vertical elements being relatively small on account of the higher number of securing linkages.

For fixing the at least two securing linkages relative to one another, it is provided in a further embodiment variant that at least two securing linkages are connected to one another by at least one strut element, preferably a metal strip. For example, in each case two vertical elements can be connected by a strut element or three or more vertical elements can be connected by a single strut element.

In order to facilitate the mounting of the securing device, it is provided in a further preferred embodiment that the vertical elements of the securing linkage are pivotally connected to the horizontal element. Thus, a safety linkage can incidentally also collapse in a simple manner when it is transported separately from the four-way pallet.

The articulated connection can be achieved particularly simply by the use of a hinge element. Preferably, the hinge element has two tabs, wherein one of the tabs is connected to a vertical element and the other tab is connected to the horizontal element. In any case, the horizontal element is held securely and stably by the two hinge elements when it spans the four-way pallet. Therefore, in a further preferred embodiment variant of the device according to the invention, it is provided that the articulated connection is produced by a hinge element arranged between one of the vertical elements and the horizontal element.

To secure the cargo, it may be advantageous if the fuse linkage is prestressed against the load. In any case, it is advantageous if the securing linkage has an opening mechanism which allows the securing linkage to be opened and, if appropriate, the pretensioning to be released. For this reason, a further embodiment provides that the at least one Fastening linkage has at least one first opening mechanism in order to open the securing device for removal of the cargo, wherein the first opening mechanism is preferably designed to produce a bias in the securing linkage when closing the securing linkage. Preferably, two first opening mechanisms, in particular one for each vertical element, are provided in order to be able to open the securing linkage from several sides.

In order to facilitate the opening of the safety linkage without significantly affecting the structural integrity, a further preferred embodiment provides that a releasable connection between one of the vertical elements and the horizontal element is made via the first opening mechanism, the first opening mechanism preferably is arranged in the region of the hinge element. Preferably, both vertical elements are connected via a hinge element with the horizontal element and a first opening mechanism is provided for each hinge element. If the first opening mechanism is opened and thus the connection between the vertical element and horizontal element separated, the load can be unloaded in a simple manner from the four-way pallet. It is particularly advantageous if vertical elements and horizontal element are articulated, preferably via hinge elements, connected to each other, since the horizontal element is in this case laterally folded over the upright articulated connection.

In a further embodiment variant of the invention, for the simple production of a detachable connection between vertical elements and receiving elements, provision is made for the vertical elements to be detachably connected to the respective receiving element via a second opening mechanism. In order to be fixed by the second opening mechanism, the end portions of the vertical elements corresponding to the second opening mechanism corresponding means, such as openings for receiving connecting means such as screws and / or locking lugs and / or clamping surfaces.

The first opening mechanism and the second opening mechanism may be of similar construction to allow easy handling. But it is also conceivable that the opening mechanisms are designed differently. It is particularly advantageous if the respective opening mechanism contains at least one of the following detachable connections: screw connections, latching connections, clamping connections or band-like connections, such as an assembly line. Therefore, in a further preferred embodiment, it is provided that the first and / or second opening mechanism comprises a detachable screw connection and / or a detachable latching connection and / or a detachable clamping connection and / or a band-like connection, in particular an assembly line.

A particularly high stability and resistance is achieved in a further particularly preferred embodiment in that the vertical elements and the horizontal element of the at least one securing linkage and / or the receiving elements are made of a metallic material, preferably of steel. For the vertical elements and the horizontal elements in particular metal strips or metal rods are suitable while for the receiving elements metal bushings or pipe sections made of metal with a substantially rectangular cross section in question.

The above-mentioned object is also achieved by a system comprising a device according to the invention and at least one row stacked crates as load, wherein the at least one fuse link at least a series stacked crates bridges spanning and the crates of the series against slipping of the four-way pallet secures by the vertical elements are aligned substantially parallel to a height direction and by the horizontal element is aligned substantially parallel to the length direction or the width direction. In this case, the outer crates of a row are each on one of the vertical elements and / or the horizontal element and are held by the fuse linkage. If a first opening mechanism is provided, then a device according to the invention with a built-up securing device, in which the horizontal element is preferably folded down, can be loaded with beverage crates in a simple manner. After the row of beverage crates is finished cut, the horizontal element is folded over the top crates and preferably lies on these before the opening mechanism is closed again to close the safety device.

Are on a four-way pallet in the width direction and / or length direction more than a row of beverage crates next to each other, it is provided for optimum security of the cargo in a further embodiment of the invention that viewed in the length direction and / or width direction several rows of crates next to each other on the Vierwegpalette are arranged and each a fuse linkage per in the length direction and / or width direction side by side arranged row stacked crates is provided. Thus, in each case at least one safety linkage is responsible for securing a number of crates.

Due to the foregoing, it can be directly concluded that the object mentioned at the outset can also be achieved by the use of a device according to the invention for securing beverage crates during transport, in particular during road transport by means of lorries.

WAYS FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

1 shows a three-dimensional view of an embodiment of a device according to the invention, which is a Vierwegpalette 1 for receiving cargo 15 (indicated by dashed lines in the present illustration) and a safety device 2 having. The four-way pallet 1 spans an orthogonal coordinate system with a length direction 6 , a width direction 7 and a height direction 8th on. Consequently, the four-way pallet points 1 two opposite broad sides, which are parallel to the width direction 7 are aligned and two opposite longitudinal sides, which are parallel to the length direction 6 are aligned.

On a top of the four-way pallet 1 there is a receiving surface on the load 15 , in particular in the form of multiple rows 16 Stacked beverage crates, is stackable. Although in the following, only the use of the device for crates will be discussed, it goes without saying that the device can be used for a variety of other goods, especially if this is composed of a plurality of similar elements.

The safety device 2 includes in the present embodiment, two securing linkage 5 which the four way pallet 1 in the width direction 7 span across bridge. Every safety linkage 5 two is essentially parallel to the height direction 8th extending vertical elements 3 , which are opposite each other, on the long sides of the four-way pallet 1 are attached. The two vertical elements 3 are by means of a substantially parallel to the width direction 7 extending horizontal element 4 connected with each other. The connection between the vertical elements 3 and the horizontal element 4 is articulated in the present embodiment and is formed by a respective hinge element 13 realized. vertical elements 3 and horizontal element 4 are formed in the present embodiments as metal rods or steel rods, so that the fuse linkage 5 even without underneath cargo 15 stable on the four-way pallet 1 stands.

The vertical elements 3 are over on the long sides of the four-way pallet 1 fastened receiving elements 9 detachable with the four-way pallet 1 connected. This allows the safety linkage 5 in a simple way from the four-way pallet 1 dismantle, for example, several empty Vierwegpaletten 1 to be able to stack. Just as easy is the vertical elements 3 but again with the recording elements 9 connect to the safety device 2 manufacture.

The 2 to 4 show a second embodiment in which the receiving elements 9 for the two securing rods 5 on the broadsides of the four-way pallet 1 are attached and the safety linkage 5 the four-way pallet 1 in the length direction 6 bridged like a bridge. It can be seen that two rows 16 to beverage crates next to each other in the width direction 7 are arranged, which are four boxes long and four boxes are high (see. 3 ). The two safety rods 5 are in the width direction 7 objected to each other, so that each row 16 of beverage crates a safety linkage 5 assigned. The two safety rods 5 are in the range of vertical elements 3 by a substantially parallel to the width direction 7 aligned strut element 12 connected together so that the two vertical elements 3 in the width direction 7 be kept at a distance. Here is the bracing element 12 in the height direction 8th seen arranged in the upper part of the device. It would also be conceivable, the two horizontal elements 4 connect with each other by means of another strut element.

It can also be seen that the four-way pallet 1 a total of nine support blocks 11 each having its longitudinal sides and broad sides three Stützklötze 11 exhibit. The recording elements 9 are each in the range of one of the support blocks 11 at the four-way pallet 1 attached.

In particular in 3 it can be seen that the vertical elements 3 and the horizontal element 4 via a hinge element 13 pivotally connected to one another about an axis of rotation, as in the following with respect to 6 and 7 is explained in more detail. Similarly, it can be seen that in the upper part of the vertical elements 3 in which the hinge element 13 with the vertical element 3 is connected, in each case a first opening mechanism 14 is attached, by means of which the connection between the vertical element 3 and horizontal element 4 in a simple way lets solve the four-way pallet 1 to be able to load or unload. In the present embodiment, the first opening mechanism 14 by a two wing nuts comprehensive screw connection 14a realized. Once the nuts are loosened, the horizontal element can be 14 over the other hinge element 13 fold down to the side.

For connecting the vertical elements 3 with the recording elements 9 is in each case a second opening mechanism 18 provided, which as a second screw 18a also formed with two wing nuts. In an analogous way, the safety linkage can be 5 from the four-way pallet 1 Dismantle if the two nuts of the second screw 18a are solved.

It goes without saying that other mechanisms for the design of the opening mechanisms 14,18 come into question, for example clamping connections or snap-in connections or combinations thereof such as snaps or the like.

From all the figures described so far it appears that the juxtaposed rows 16 to beverage crates by means of the beverage crates bridge-like spanning safety linkage 5 are secured, so that the crates or the load 15 during transport by any occurring inertial or centrifugal forces not from the four-way pallet 1 to be able to solve. In other words, the crates of a row 16 from the safety linkage 5 held or serves the safety linkage 5 as a stop for the crates. This effect is due to the stable connection of the receiving elements 9 to the four-way pallet 1 and by the rigid formation of the vertical elements 3 and the horizontal element 4 reinforced, which are made as rods or strips of metal, preferably steel.

5 now shows a detailed view of the four-way pallet 1 in the area of a receiving element 9 , which is designed as a four-edged pipe section made of metal or steel. The receiving element 9 is by means of, in the present case three, fasteners 17 at the four-way pallet 1 , more precisely on a support block 11 , attached. The fasteners 17 are thereby by corresponding openings on the outside of the receiving elements 9 in the four-way pallet 1 introduced. In the present embodiment, the fastening elements 17 designed as screws, which in the corresponding supporting blocks 11 are screwed in. The four-way pallet 1 has to accommodate the receiving elements 9 one recess each 10 on, in which the receiving element 9 is included. The dimensions of the recess 10 are doing so on the receiving element 9 matched that the vertical elements 3 outside the outline of the four-way pallet 1 run. In the present case, the vertical element closes 3 flush with the outline of the four-way pallet 1 when it's over the second screw connection 18a on the receiving element 9 is mounted. For releasable connection with the receiving elements 9 become the end portions of the vertical elements 3 in the receiving elements 9 introduced so that the vertical elements 3 at least in sections in the recording elements 9 are included. To pass through the second opening mechanism 18 to be able to be fixed, have the end portions of the vertical elements 3 corresponding with the second opening mechanism 18 corresponding means. In the present case, they have the end sections of the vertical elements 3 two holes through which the two screws of the second screw 18a are guided.

The 6 and 7 show a possibility of connection of vertical element 3 and horizontal element 4 by means of the hinge element 13 and the first opening mechanism 14 in detail. In 6 is a first thigh 13a of the hinge element 13 to recognize which with the vertical element 3 connected is. In the present embodiment, an assembly line 14b on the first leg 13a attached, which via the first screw 14a with the vertical element 3 connected is. About the flexible assembly line 14b can be in a simple manner a bias of the safety linkage 5 exercise on the crates. One of the two screws of the first screw connection 14a serves in the present embodiment also for fixing the transverse strut element 12 ,

In 7 is finally a sectional view of the safety linkage 5 in the area of the first opening mechanism 14 shown, which clearly shows that a second leg 13b of the hinge element 13 with the horizontal element 4 connected is. The connection between the thighs 13a , 13b of the hinge element 13 and the horizontal element 4 or the assembly line 14b is in the present embodiment, each made via a riveted joint.

It goes without saying that in alternative embodiments of the invention, the first leg 13a even without interposition of the assembly line 14b directly with the vertical element 3 can be connected. To produce a bias in the first leg 13a or in the vertical element 3 For example, be provided a slot to the bias by means of the first screw 14a to be able to adjust.

To a conventional, commercial Vierwegpalette 1 to use in a device according to the invention, only the receiving elements need 9 and, if appropriate, recesses for that purpose 10 in the four-way pallet 1 be formed. Once a four-way pallet 1 with a sufficient number of receiving elements 9 is provided, only the vertical elements 3 over the second opening mechanism 18 with the recording elements 9 be connected, for example via the aforementioned second screw 18a , Usually, this is the safety linkage 5 by means of the first opening mechanism 14 closed only when the load 15 or the fuse linkages 5 to be secured row of beverage crates or cargo elements completely on the Vierwegpalette 1 is listed. This is the load 15 secured during transport and can not slip. After the device including cargo 15 arrived at its destination, the first opening mechanism 14 opened, the horizontal element 4 Folded off to the side and the load 15 can be unloaded. If no reloading takes place, the safety device can 2 by releasing the second opening mechanism 18 be demounted in a simple manner, so that Vierwegpalette 1 and safety linkage 5 can be transported separately from each other. This can be the safety linkage 5 due to the articulated connection of vertical elements 3 and horizontal element 4 to save space.
