Description

Continental Gummi-Werke Aktiengesellschaft, 3000 Hanover Stackable pallet

The invention relates to stackable loading plates with preferably detachable support supports for receiving a further attached loading plate and side wall elements attached to the support supports.

The ones in the corner points of the mostly rectangular or square ones Loading plates and pallets, fixed or removable to facilitate empty transport, are not only used for stacking several loading plates on top of one another, but at the same time they also delimit the available loading space and form rigid stops for the load. In order to hold piece goods such as pneumatic tires, wire bundles and the like together better and also in the free To additionally secure gaps between the support supports, it has proven to be useful to use special brackets with the function of side wall elements to be provided on the supports in a fixed connection with these. To this end, according to a well-known proposal (German Offenlegungsschrift 2 501 689) with bow-shaped Holders each of less than half of the space corresponding to the bracket width on the support supports equipped loading plates have indeed met all expectations in use. They were but practically limited to the transport and / or storage of objects of the same type and of the same size left something to be desired for a broader range of uses. The object of the invention is accordingly to provide pallets and similar stacking plates with additional support for the load to equip them in such a way that they can be used to a greater extent used by piece goods of different types and dimensions, but at the same time loading and unloading and Finally, they can be folded up even in the smallest of spaces for empty transport.

According to the invention is provided for loading plates of the type mentioned, that the at least one side of a loading plate assigned, in each case almost or substantially the distance between two support supports bridging sidewall erasers inside freely and gradually externally pivotable over a stop that fixes its position of use, expediently over a stop corresponding at least to the height of the stop Distance are slidably attached to the support supports. The necessary superposition of a stroke movement on the rotational mobility the side wall elements is advantageously used in a simple manner a hinge connection with bolts rotatably guided in sleeves with axial play. If the pallets are a flange type have upwardly curved edge edging are, according to a partial feature of the invention, with their lower edge on or at a small distance over the pallet surface rubbing sidewall elements over the

The edging can be lifted and can be

Order can be pivoted outwards by at least 90.

The invention creates a device that can be used universally for piece goods of all kinds Stacking plate, which in turn allows you to set up unbroken transport chains over greater distances without the need for Allows reloading between different modes of transport or transport. This is particularly true for deliveries, for example from raw rubber from the landing ports to the rubber-processing ones Companies, with the previously unavoidable amount of work for the manual loading and unloading of the heavy rubber bales there is also no risk of accidents that is always present on or from trucks. The free pivotability after overcoming the outer stop of the side wall elements makes the new loading plates in full width, both for loading and unloading, with or without the use of machines Conveyor or lifting means accessible while, however, in the loaded state the side wall elements rest against the stop in a fixed position under the pressure of the load. The invention combines with it the advantages of open pallets and pallets with side walls, while also being able to be folded up, which is desirable for empty transport is retained in full.

An embodiment of the invention is shown in perspective in the drawing View shown schematically. In the drawing:

1 shows a loading plate in the empty state with the side wall open;

Fig. 2 shows a detail from Fig. 1 and 3 shows the loading plate in the fully loaded state.

The drawn loading plate consists essentially of a base plate k of rectangular shape with a flange-like upwardly curved edge 1 ⁴ + on the long sides, optionally also all around, and four receiving sleeves 5 formed from square pipe sockets 5 for loosely inserted support supports 6, welded in its corner areas Receiving sleeves 5 are dimensioned and arranged in a manner known per se so that they allow the loading plate to be placed at a distance above the floor surface sufficient to grasp the bottom plate 4 and at the same time can serve for pressure transferring placement on the supports of the loading plate lower in a stacking unit. For this purpose, the support supports 6 made of commercially available square tube in the exemplary embodiment are pointed at their free end in the manner of a pyramid or provided in some other way with inclined guide surfaces.

On the support supports 6 and rectangular bracket 7 in a rotationally fixed connection attached so that they protrude against each other on the narrow sides of the rectangular loading plate except for a small space. This fixed bracket 7 delimit the cargo space and secure the cargo on both narrow sides of the loading plate. In addition to this are According to the invention on the long sides pivotable and, to a limited extent, also liftable brackets 8 are provided. Similar to that Fixed bracket 7, the movable bracket 8 are made with approximately rectangular shape of such dimensions that they are in the traheportfer-

term state (Fig. J>) bridge the distance between the facing supports 6 except for a free space. With the help of two hinge connections 18 with bolts, they can be swiveled and attached to the support supports so that they can be moved with a selectable axial play, their lower edge dragging on the base plate 6 and resting in an outward direction against the upwardly curved edge * \ k serving as a limit stop.

To load the loading plate, the two brackets 8 on one long side are raised over the edge 1 k and pivoted outwards by about 90 (FIG. 1). The base plate 6 is then freely accessible with its entire surface and can be loaded with the individual or collectively delivered cargo without any hindrance. The brackets 8 are then pivoted back and secured by simply lifting them over the edge Ik. The load, for example raw rubber bales 9 according to the representation drawn in FIG. 3, prevents the bracket from pivoting further inward, but on the other hand always tries to keep it in contact with the edge 1 ^. To unload the loading plate, the brackets 8 are in turn pivoted outwards after being lifted over the edge edge 1 ^, whereupon the load can be removed without hindrance.

To transport the loading plates empty, the support supports k can be removed from the receiving sleeves 5 and accommodated on the base plate 6 in a space-saving manner with the brackets 8 folded down flat onto the brackets 7.
