Description

35

The invention relates to a pallet for transporting goods, in particular with the aid of cranes, with a square pallet floor and vertical angle posts attached to its corners, between which Wall elements are provided, of which at least one is displaceable and pivotable between two Post is mounted and has laterally cantilevered arms for this purpose, which are guided in a sliding guide.

Such basket-shaped pallets are used in particular for the transport of building materials with the help of a Used crane. For safety reasons, the basket, ζ. B. when transporting containers made of bricks, be closed all around. On the other hand, it is used to transport bulky goods, e.g. B. of struts or Boards needed to remove at least some of the wall elements so that the bulky goods between the Angle posts can protrude beyond the base of the pallet. There is a risk that the Removed wall elements are lost or damaged on the construction site.

A range of the type mentioned is known from GB-PS 10 52 792, in which side wall elements can be hung between the angle posts by means of angle arms protruding from the side. To remove the wall elements must be raised and the free ends of the angle arms off the brackets attached to the angle post can be pulled out. This will make the wall elements complete released from the pallet and can therefore be lost in the manner described.

From US-PS 16 47 263 is still one

best known in which the wall elements on their Have underside angle arms, the free end of the angle post engages behind the pallet in such a way that the Wall elements are both moved along the angle post and pivoted outward can. With this construction, the wall elements can no longer be lost, but the Wall parts can only be folded outwards, turning them inwards is not possible. However, this is for crane plates of great importance when goods are to be transported over the side The edge of the pallet protruding.

The invention is based on the object of improving a range of the type mentioned at the outset in such a way that that it can have walls on all four sides, which are optionally folded inwards and outwards can be without the risk of the wall parts being released from the pallet during actuation can be.

This object is achieved according to the invention in that angle rails above the pallet floor are arranged parallel to the angle posts and at a distance from them, the legs of which together with the parallel legs of the respective adjacent angle post the sliding guide for the side arms of the pivotable wall elements and that the Winkelschisnen bent over at their upper end and are connected to the respective adjacent angle post to the sliding guide to the top limit.

The following description of preferred embodiments of the invention serves in context with the drawing for a more detailed explanation. It shows

F i g. 1 is a perspective view of the partially opened pallet;

F i g. 2 is a partial sectional view of a pallet cut parallel to a wall element;

3 is a partial sectional view of a parallel to Bottom above the same cut pallet and

F i g. 4 is a sectional view taken along line 4-4 in FIG. 2.

The pallet 1 comprises a frame forming a square base and made of angle rails 2 and four in the corner points of the frame firmly connected to the angle rails 2 vertical angle posts 3, which do not or only slightly protrude below the base area. The angle posts carry on their upper and lower ends are horizontal cover plates 4, 5. At the upper end of the angle posts In addition, handle 6 is provided for hanging the suspension cables 7 of a crane, which are supported by the angle posts 3 Point away obliquely upwards and outwards and with their legs in the area of the horizontal cover plates 4 rest against the legs of the angle posts 3. The handles are shaped so that the cover plates 4 remain free so that another, identically constructed pallet can be placed on the first pallet. The lower cover plates 5 of the upper pallet then rest on the upper cover plate 4 of the first pallet on, the handle 6 surrounding the angle posts of the upper pallet on two sides and the upper pallet therefore secure against lateral displacement. Because of the upward sloping shape of the handle they guide the upper pallet into the desired position when it is placed on the lower pallet. The handle 6 are preferably made of U-shaped bent round material with bent legs.

Side parts are provided between the angle posts, against the goods being carried in the pallet

To secure falling out. In the one shown in FIG Pallet, two types of side parts are shown, namely one consisting of two doors 8 and 8a front and three side parts consisting of a rectangular V / andelement 9. s

The doors 8 and 8a are rotatably mounted about a vertical axis by means of hinges 11 on the leg of the angle post adjacent to them. The hinges are also designed so that the doors 8 and 8a are shifted a short distance in a vertical direction

pt can therefore be raised. This can be e.g.

■; ■ The rectangular wall elements 9 point at their _Jo

the lower end of two laterally cantilevered arms 15 which are slidably mounted in the interior of the pallet in the vertical direction. The sliding guide for the arms 15 is formed by an angle rail 16 running parallel to the angle post 3, the legs j _{5 of which run} at a small distance from the legs of the angle posts 3. The angle rail 16 is attached with its lower end on the floor of the pallet, at its upper end it is bent outwards and attached to the inside of the angle post 3, for. B. welded thereby a guide channel is formed between the inner surface of the angle post 3 and the outer surface of the angle rail 16, which extends from the ground to a certain height. The laterally protruding arms 15 of the wall elements 9 protrude into this guide channel. By means of this sliding guide, the wall elements 9 can be raised in a vertical direction corresponding to the length of the guide channel. The arms 15 also form a horizontal axis of rotation for the wall elements 9, about which the wall elements can optionally be pivoted inwards and outwards. In Fig. 1 the left wall element is folded outwards, the right one folded inwards.

For locking the wall elements in vertical but ^ th position of the angular posts are located below the upper cover plate 4 holding members 18 on the inside, having the shape of a straight line extending horizontally parallel to the legs of the angle posts 3 gutter with shaped U-essentially cross-section. The wall elements can be hooked into these holding members 18 by means of arms 17 projecting laterally on their upper side in the same way as on their lower side. The angle rails 16 and the holding members 18 serve at the same time as guide rails or as holding members for two wall elements 9 that abut one another perpendicularly.

To open a closed wall element 9, this is first raised so far that the Lateral arms 17 protrude over the holding members 18. this is shown in Figure 2 on the left wall element. Then the wall element can be similar to the right Wall element in FIG. 1 can be folded inwards, placing it on the floor. Another one Wall element that is folded inwards lies down then on this first wall element, wherein it is advantageous that this second wall element is also hangs up horizontally because its axis of rotation is vertical Direction is slidable and not fixed So all wall elements 9 can be folded inwards, whereby the floor area remains horizontal

When the wall elements 9 are pivoted outwards, they are initially in the same way raised, pivoted a little inwards until the upper arms 17 are within the angle posts 3, then the wall element 9 is moved further upwards until the arms 17 are above the angle posts 3 and the handle 6 can be pivoted outward. To close the wall elements proceed in the reverse order.

In the embodiment described, three of the side parts are designed as pivotable wall elements 9, while the fourth side part is formed by the doors 8 and 8a. It is of course possible to do this to combine different types of side parts in the desired manner, for. B. all four Side parts are designed as pivotable wall elements.

Doors and wall elements are produced, for example, as tubular frames filled with a grid. The grids consist, for example, of thin round metal parts arranged in a cross shape or of wire. In a similar way, the bottom of the pallet can be formed by grids placed in the angle frame. Of course, another design is also possible, e.g. B. all parts can be replaced by plate-shaped parts made of wood, Consist of metal or the like.

The dimensions of the pallet are e.g. B. chosen so that they are conveniently on a Trucks are transportable. It is possible to combine several pallets into one unit. to for this purpose 2 holes 19 are provided in the upstanding legs of the angle rails, put through the screws to screw two pallets next to each other together can.
