Description

"Spool Pallet" The invention relates to a pallet for storage and for the transport of wire, cable reels or the like. with a horizontal storage grid, has the profile strips to support the coils.

In the areas of industry and trade where coils for Windable goods are needed, for example in the wire manufacturing or -processing industry, in the electrical sector, in rope works, in the manufacture of stranded wires or the like., Often fall during the manufacturing, processing or Storage of different reel sizes, especially reels of different diameters.

For example, it is common in wire production to use the coarse wire on the largest possible spools, while for the half and finished wires smaller and smaller coils are used during the drawing process. These coils are preferably to meet the need for efficient storage and simplified transport to be fair, placed on pallets and transported and stored with them If the coils are cylindrical bodies, it is necessary to attach them to the pallets Provide profile strips that store the spools securely and prevent them from unrolling.

The invention is based on the object of creating a pallet which with the same size of the pallet a cheap and easy adaptation to the most diverse makes it possible to transport and store reel sizes while at the same time optimal and safe holding of the bobbins on the pallet.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that the storage grate provided with an exchangeable insert grate adapted to the reels to be picked up is.

This measure according to the invention makes it possible, in practice, only one Size of pallets in the corresponding company or the like.

to be provided that is suitable for accommodating the largest coil occurring there are. If spools with a smaller diameter are placed on the pallet, it is It is only necessary to place an insert grate corresponding to these coils on the storage grate beforehand the same To put on the pallet. Without the design according to the invention of the pallet, it is necessary to have its own special for each reel size occurring in the company Pallets. to be provided by the warehouse. This is especially true for stackable ones Pallets associated a great need for storage space. In addition, the existing The number of pallets often does not match the number of reels to be transported or stored matches, or the pallets become unusable because there are changes result in the manufacturing process or in the product range.

Because cable reels, for example, are very heavy objects it is necessary to make the 'pallets stable, from which, among other things, a high one Material requirements and / or a relatively expensive production of the pallets results. All However, these disadvantages are avoided by the pallet according to the invention: The one time Purchased pallet is sorted according to the largest reel and the largest occurring weight designed and can then depending on your needs with one of the appropriate coil size adapted grate are provided. But this grid insert is much lighter and cheaper and more space-saving than the entire range, so that, among other things,

Advantages in storage, the number of pallets required, in the adaptability to changes in the production process and in capital expenditure result. In addition, it is possible to design the insert grate as a wear part, for example as a cheap wooden grid that is thrown away after each use will.

Another feature of the invention is that the insert grate is held without displacement on the storage grid of the pallet.

If the pallets are stacked, their four feet are above the storage grid are extended upwards by about the stack height, so the insert grate held by the four corner struts formed in this way. For pallets without the corner braces The insert grids can be quickly detached, for example, by means of tension hooks or similar Fastening parts, or the like by a press fit in the bearing grate. fixed on the pallet when braking or starting the transport vehicle or when cornering not to move.

In a further embodiment, the invention provides that the insert grate consists of cross struts and above arranged, the coil-bearing profile strips. This design of the grate allows the adjustment in the simplest possible way to different spool diameters.

A particular versatility can be achieved according to the invention by that the insert grate by changing the distance between two profile strips Coils of different diameters can be adapted, which in turn reduces the supply reduced on different insert grids or one insert grate for different coils Diameter can be set up.

In addition, it can be provided according to the invention that the grids Exchangeable wear strips at least on the bearing surfaces of the profile strips exhibit. These wear strips can be made of wood, plastic, rubber, Leather, cork or the like. exist. To the coils additionally with simple fasteners To be able to attach to the pallet, the invention sees in a further embodiment the invention provides that the profile strips with slots for D-urchführung of fastening parts are provided for the coil. These fasteners can be tension wires act or straps or tension screws or the like. In addition to the advantage of the displacement and non-slip fixing of the cargo is according to the invention by this Design of the pallet ensures that the fasteners do not have the the outer edges of the pallet protrude so that they are largely protected from damage are protected.

Further features, details and advantages of the invention result can be derived from the following description of a preferred embodiment of the invention as well as on the basis of the drawing. They show: FIG. 1 the perspective view of a stackable pallet with storage grate and partially broken insert grate; figure 2 the perspective view of an insert grate; FIG. 3 the enlarged perspective View of a profile strip; Figures 4 to 11 arrangement examples of coils the pallet.

In Figure 1, a stackable pallet 1 is shown. On the four Corners of the storage grid 2 of the pallet 1, which consists of one of two U-shaped longitudinal struts 3 and two U-shaped cross struts 4 welded frame with four profile strips 5 is formed, the feet 6 are up over the storage grate 2 about the height of the stack extended and thus form support supports 7, at their upper ends zckstUcke 8 for receiving are welded to the feet of another pallet placed above. To the one made of angle iron to give formed support supports 7 greater strength, are the legs the angle iron in the lower area 10 is enlarged, and the inside of the legs is welded to an additional sheet 11. At the lower end are the supports 7 bent inward to form a support for the bearing grate 2. Respectively the long side are ar the feet 6 of the pallet 1 bracket 12 attached to the sliding to prevent the pallet 1 from the forks of a forklift.

The profile strips 5 of the storage grate 2 each have at least one in Angle to the horizontal Gberflachs% erra-X> ende support surface 44, which, like shown in Figure 3, with a Wear strip 15 made of wood, Plastic or the like. can be provided. For fastening this wear strip 15 recesses 16 are introduced into the bearing surfaces 14 at intervals. To the to be able to set the spools stored on the pallets 1 on the profile strips 5, for example by means of tensioning straps or wires, slots 17 are provided for leading through such fasteners provided. The profile strips 5 are in the storage grid 2 arranged that two Jaiflageflächen 14 adjacent profile strips 5 through corresponding inclination cooperate in pairs.

An insert grate is available for adaptation to different reel diameters 18 placed on the storage grid 2. The grid insert 18 consists of cross struts 19 and overlying profile strips 20, which in a corresponding manner as the profile strips 5 are formed.

In the example shown in Figure 2, the two middle Profile strips 20 'each equipped with two bearing surfaces 14, so that in the illustrated Example of three transverse rows of coils 21 'approximately according to the ctrr arrangement according to FIG. 10 can be placed on the pallet 1. To the same storage grid 18 for different Use coil arrangements, i.e. by the distances x and y between the profile strips To be able to change 20, 20V, the middle profile strips 20 'along the cross struts 19 arranged displaceably, which is not shown in detail. For example, can the cross struts 19 are formed by perforated strips, in the holes of which pins on the Engage underside of the profile strips 20 ', so that a change in the distances x, y is possible. On the other hand, the cross struts 19 can be in their central area Have elongated holes through which fastening elements such as wing screws are attached the profile strips 20 'protrude so that a change in the distances x, y is also possible will. Thanks to this adjustment option, the insert grate can also be used for rows of coils each with different diameters can be set up.

To fix the grid insert 18 on the storage grid 2 in the longitudinal direction the two outer cross struts 19 of the grid insert 18 engage behind the vertical ones Outer surfaces of the two outer profile strips 5 of the bearing grate 2, as in FIG 2 shown. To also be mounted essentially without displacement in the transverse direction to be, the length of the cross struts 19 corresponds approximately to the distance between the inner edges the U-shaped longitudinal struts 3 of the storage grate 2. It is also possible to use the grate insert with the help of special fastening elements, e.g.

Fix screw connections on the bearing grate so that they cannot move.

In the example shown, the profile strips 5 and 20 are different and made of different material. So is the profile strip 5 as an open metal profile and the profile strip 20 is shown as a wooden strip. It is of course also possible to manufacture these profile strips from the same material and in the same way, for example made of metal or as a hollow profile.

In Figure 4, the arrangement of a cable spool 21 is an example the pallet 1, which is only shown schematically, while FIGS. 5-11 To illustrate the arrangement of several cable reels 21 ', with only the Arrangement is shown in each case the same coils on a pallet. It is natural it is also possible to put rows of spools with different diameters on a pallet place, depending on the design of the grid insert 18. For example, an arrangement from the combination of Figures 7 and 8 possible if the insert grate is only half Length of the storage grate 2 occupies.
