Abstract

The feet (16,17,18,19) are of a length extending over several positioning frames (6). They form above their base surface (20) a support surface (21) so that several units each formed by a pallet and the positioning frames standing on same can be stacked up one above the other. The feet of the pallet of each top unit is set with its support face on the end faces of the connecting pins (10, 11) of the positioning frame of each lower unit. In the stacked state the stop faces (22, 23, 24) engaging over the connecting pins of the lower unit are mounted on the feet as anti-slip devices. The feet may be L or U-shaped in the cross-section parallel to the width direction of the pallet. ADVANTAGE - The positioning frames of the lower pallet serve as the support for the upper pallet.

Description

The invention relates to a substantially rectangular, in the area of their corners with foot parts that can be placed on the floor provided transport and storage pallet for a number of im essential rectangular scaffolding rack that is upright with the frame plane parallel to the pallet width direction in Place the pallet lengthwise direction on the pallet one after the other are held in bar and in the installed state and at its upper end approximately in the pallet width speaking distance from each other two upstanding connection have cones.

Such scaffolding frames usually have two longitudinal spars tubular, open at the bottom and are provided with the respective connecting pin at the top, so that when building a scaffolding two in each Height of consecutive frames using the upper one Connecting pin and the lower pipe openings of the longitudinal spars are nestable. For orderly storage and  Transporting such frames are pallets at the beginning mentioned type on the market, the two pallets longitudinal sides of a series of upstanding pegs point on which the frames can be attached. From here the frames are then freely high.

A lot of frames are required for scaffolding. Accordingly, the contractor has a very large job can store the frame quantity. This requires, even if you the pallets mentioned used a lot of space.

The present invention is therefore based on the object to create a pallet according to the preamble of claim 1, with the help of more frames than in the same area since then can be accommodated. The purpose of this is necessary measures be as simple and robust as possible.

This object is achieved in that the Leg sections in the longitudinal direction of the pallet with a longitudinal shape have length extending over several setting frames and form a support surface above their floor space, such that several each from a pallet and on it units formed standing stackable on top of each other are by the foot parts of the pallet of each upper unit with its support surface on the end faces of the connection the setting frame of the lower unit be, the on the foot parts in the stacked state Connection pin of the lower unit overlapping stop  surfaces are arranged as anti-slip devices.

This means that the pallet / frame units can be stacked on top of each other be set so that the required footprint reduced accordingly.

The pallets have no upstanding posts or the like. on which you could place the following palette. Rather, the load, i. H. the subframe, the lower one Pallet used as a base for the upper pallet. Since the Foot parts are so long that they are each on several connections spigot and thus sit on several frames, he you still keep one in connection with the stop surfaces sufficient stability, although it is an arrangement with considerable amount.

The foot parts expediently point to the pallet widths direction parallel cross-section L or U-like shape, the horizontal L or U web the support surface and the L-leg protruding from the floor space or the U- Form the side stop surfaces. The L-legs or the U-legs can be inclined at the bottom be directed to the outside, which is putting on the frame of the relieved lower unit. The L- or U-like in cross section Foot parts can be drawn to the respective pallet corner turned end of a forehead stop acting in the longitudinal direction have the same stop surface.  

Regardless of the embodiment in detail, the existing stop surfaces so the upper pallet firmly in the pallet level, so that the required stability against lateral forces.

The foot parts can be very easily and cheaply from one angled sheet metal part are formed.

Another useful embodiment is that the Foot parts each with at least two spacers with Ab stood to the bottom of the pallet are arranged so that between the bottom of the pallet and the relevant foot section Space allowing a forklift arm to retract is available.

An embodiment of the invention is now based on the Drawing explained. Show it:

Fig. 1 shows a pallet of the invention in a schematic perspective view of a mounted assembly frame (on the illustrated pallet can twelve actuating frames are placed, of which the clarity is, however, only one depicted for the sake),

Fig. 2 two stacked pallet Stellrahmen- units in side view according to arrow II in Fig. 1,

Fig. 3 shows a detail from Fig. 2 (dot-dash circle III) in an enlarged view, from which the bottoming can be seen one of the leg portions of the upper pallet to the assembly frame of the lower pallet with legs of the U is cut away from the foot part which faces the viewer, and

Fig. 4 shows the arrangement of FIG. 3 in section along section line IV-IV.

The best seen in Fig. 1 emanating Transport and storage pallet 1 (with the stacked arrangement of FIGS. 2 to 4, the lower range by the reference numerals of FIG. 1 and the upper identically configured pallet just substituted with the same reference numerals however, with the addition of an "a") has a substantially rectangular shape with two longitudinal bars 2 , 3 each extending on one of the pallet sides in the longitudinal direction and two transverse bars 4 , 5 connecting the end regions of the longitudinal bars and extending in the pallet width direction . The longitudinal bars 2 , 3 and the cross bars 4 , 5 are made of structural steel profiles, in the practical embodiment of right corner profiles, which are welded together. The other components of the range are also structural steel parts.

This pallet 1 is used for transporting and storing a number of scaffolding frames 6 , which are essentially quite angular and upright with the frame plane parallel to the pallet width direction in the longitudinal direction of the pallet successively adjustable on the pallet and held on it in the erected state. The setting frames 6 are part of a scaffolding and have an essentially rectangular shape with two lateral vertical struts 7 , 8 , the spacing of which corresponds approximately to the pallet width. The two not only in their standing on the pallet position but also within a created scaffolding vertical struts 7 , 8 are formed by tubular rods material, so that the vertical struts 7 , 8 are open at their lower end 9 and have an insertion opening. At the upper end of the setting frame 6 , two upstanding connecting pins 10 , 11 are arranged approximately at a corresponding distance from one another, which are attached to the two vertical struts 7 , 8 in the exemplary embodiment. With the help of these plug pins 10 , 11 and the plug-in openings provided on the lower strut ends, the setting frames 6 can be plugged onto one another by the respective upper setting frame with its lower vertical struts ending being plugged onto the connecting pins 10 , 11 of the setting frame underneath. In this way, scaffolds of virtually any height can be erected. In the position of use, ie with the scaffold erected, the frames are in front of the building wall and are at right angles to the frame level. The vertical struts 7 , 8 are rigidly connected to one another by crossbeams 12 , 13 , which in the exemplary embodiment are arranged in the region of the lower and the upper end of the vertical struts. An accessible amount of scaffolding can be placed on these crossbeams 12 , 13 when the scaffolding has been erected.

On the two lateral longitudinal spars 2 , 3 of the pallet 1 , a row of plug pins 14 and 15 is arranged. Each pin 14 of the row of pins on one side of the pallet is opposite a pin 15 of the row of pins located on the other side of the pallet, so that there is a paired assignment, each pair of pins 14 , 15 serving to hold one of the frames 6 . This is done by plugging the frame onto the two plug pins 14 , 15 . For this purpose, the diameter of the plug pin 14 , 15 corresponds approximately to the diameter of the connecting pin 10 , 11 , so that they fit into the existing at the lower frame end and in the embodiment formed by the tube material of the vertical struts 7 , 8 insertion openings. In the plugged-on state, the setting frames are supported on the side rails 2 , 3 of the pallet 1 .

If one has an adjusting frame 6 inserted on all plug pairs 14 , 15 , the result is the arrangement shown in FIG. 2, in which the adjusting frames 6 stand freely next to one another in close succession.

It is now further provided that several units can be stacked on each other from a pallet and the ge standing on this frame. Of Fig. 2 such successive set units are visible two.

As already mentioned, the one belonging to the upper unit Reference numerals an "a" have been added. This stackability is now explained below:

In the area of its corners, the pallet 1 has base parts 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 with which the pallet can be placed on the floor. In the exemplary embodiment, there is one foot part in the area of each pallet corner, but in principle it could also be a continuous foot part on each cross member side. In pallet width direction of the leg parts are at a distance from each other, the connection pin to the distance of the adjusting frame Ver 10, 11 corresponds, so that the base parts of each weils upper pallet 1 a to the connection pins 10, 11 of the positioning frame 6 of the lower pallet assembly frame -Unit can be put.

The foot parts 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 have a longitudinal shape in the longitudinal direction of the pallet with a length that extends over a plurality of positioning frames 7 , ie over a plurality of plug pins 14 , 15 , so that they are stacked on a plurality of positioning frames arranged next to one another and at different positions 6 belonging Ver connecting pins 10 , 11 sit on. In the case shown, the foot parts each extend over a four spigot speaking length, but this number can also be chosen differently. Since the upper pallet in each case weighs heavily on the frame of the lower unit, the frames gripped by the foot parts of the upper pallet are, so to speak, connected to one another. In this way, stable assembly frame arrangements are obtained at the pallet ends.

Each foot part forms with its lowermost surface a floor standing surface 20 which can be set on the floor and above this a supporting surface 21 which, in the stacked state, is seated on the end surfaces of the frame connecting pins of the lower unit. Furthermore, stop surfaces 22 , 23 , 24 are present on the foot parts, which overlap the connecting pins 10 , 11 of the lower adjusting frame in the stacked state and thus secure the upper pallet / adjusting frame unit against slipping to all sides.

In the exemplary embodiment, the foot parts 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 have a U-like shape in the cross section parallel to the pallet width direction ( FIG. 4), the horizontal U-web supporting the support surface 21 and the U-legs projecting downwards form two lateral stop surfaces 22 , 23 . The connec tion pin 10 , 11 of the lower pallet / frame unit thus engage from below in the U-shaped foot part, so that a U-leg or a stop surface 22 , 23 is adjacent to them on both sides. The lower edge of the U-legs forms the floor space 20 .

Instead of a U-shaped cross section, the foot parts could in principle also have an L-shaped cross section, whereby in this case the foot parts of one side of the pallet and the Foot parts of the other side of the pallet are mirror images of each other  with respect to the longitudinal center line of the pallet should be in order.

However, the U-shaped design ensures something greater stability of the stack.

The U-leg (or the L-leg with L-shaped cross-section) of the foot parts can be directed obliquely outwards on the bottom side, so that the insertion of the connecting pins 10 , 11 results in lighter inclined surfaces 25 , 26 .

The distance between the two U-legs 22 , 23 is chosen so that the respective upper range can be attached to the connecting pin of the lower unit without particular difficulty, but on the other hand it should not be too large.

It is further provided that the foot parts 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 at their end facing the respective pallet corner, which is somewhat upstream of the respective outermost plug pin 14 or 15 of the facing plug pin row in the longitudinal direction of the pallet, have a front stop as a stop surface 24 effective in the longitudinal direction . This stop surface 24 is formed in the game Ausführungsbei of a piece of material 27 running over the U-cross section of the foot part. A corresponding stop surface could also be provided for foot parts with an L-shaped cross section.

In the exemplary embodiment, the foot parts 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 are formed by a correspondingly angled sheet metal part.

The pallets can be lifted with a forklift. In this context it can also be provided that the foot parts 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 are each arranged at least two spacers 28 , 29 at a distance from the underside of the pallet, so that between the underside of the pallet and the foot part affect the one Retraction of a forklift arm ge available space 30 is present. The two spacers 28 , 29 are so far apart in the longitudinal direction of the pallet that the forklift arm can engage.

One of the spacers, which faces the relevant pallet corner, can be formed by a welded to the end of the pallet longitudinal spar 2 or 3 , which protrudes upwards over the longitudinal spar and at the same time the outermost plug pin 14 or 15 of the relevant plug row of cones.
