Description

"Clip-on frame for flat pallet"

The innovation relates to clip-on frames for flat pallets and has an embodiment for the subject, the loading and unloading the pallet much easier, especially when it comes to bulk goods.

The common clip-on frames have four corner pillars, which can be combined into a closed frame by cross-connections. The forms of association are different. In some known embodiments, this frame is through the four corner pillars together with connecting elements at the bottom End and formed with an upper frame. The parts combined to form such a push-on frame together with the flat pallet a solid, cuboid frame with a base, which is completed by inserting the four walls into a large, open-topped box can be.

Since at least one of the four walls thus forms an independent component - often two or even all walls are also Independent components hung in the frame - you can remove this one wall for loading with large-sized goods, for example packaging boxes, and pack the goods in order to

insert the wall after loading the pallet. The four walls that close the frame on all sides only have the task of preventing the packed piece goods from sliding out laterally due to the vibrations of the transport. In the case of very large piece goods that anchor themselves sufficiently reliably in the pallet frame, the attachment of the Walls even dispensable.

The situation is different when it comes to smaller piece goods or even bulk goods. In these cases The walls are essential to prevent the packed goods from falling out, and they even lack a considerable amount Record wall pressure. Such a pallet can only be loaded when the walls are in place. This is very tedious because of the height of the walls. The pallets in use now have a height of the order of magnitude 1.80 m. The loading must therefore be above the height at this level Edge of the pallet. The same goes for unpacking.

The innovation is based on the desire to do this work to simplify loading and unloading, namely the push-on frame according to the innovation is characterized in that at least one wall in two or more superimposed, individually is divided on each other aufstzbaren wall parts and that devices for attaching these individual wall parts to the Corner pillars are provided.

To illustrate the concept of innovation, an embodiment is shown in the drawing, based on which also other advantageous features are explained according to a further innovation. All five figures relate to the same exemplary embodiment, wherein FIGS. 2 to 5 are drawn on a larger scale than FIG. 1 for the sake of clarity.

Fig. 1 shows the lower part of one with the clip-on frame according to the innovation provided flat pallet, namely in the direction of view from the outside on the subdivided wall of this clip-on frame

Fig. 2 shows in the direction of view from above a mounted on such a wall part, for its attachment to the corner pillar serving device.

FIG. 3 shows the same device in the open position, specifically in the same side view as FIG. 1.

Fig. 4 shows a vertical section through the subdivided Wall, in the area of the joint between two superimposed wall parts, while

FIG. 5 shows the detail in the height position of FIG. 4 in the same side view as FIG. 1.

Like Pig. 1 reveals, the frame consists of four corner pillars 1, which in the most common way of are angular cross-section and are put together on the four corners of the (not shown) mostly from strong wooden planks Flat pallet can be attached. These four corner pillars are about at the level of the flat pallet in pairs by standing on edge Flat iron bars 2 connected to one another. The visible in Fig. 1 wall surface is in superimposed wall parts of the Divided shape of rectangular, horizontal stripes, of which the lowest part 3 and the part 4 above it is shown are. A third part of it may still be adopted, if necessary also others, but in some cases a subdivision into just two or three one above the other is sufficient Wall parts. In the illustration, it is also assumed that it is grid walls, while naturally in the same way Closed walls, for example made of plywood, plastic or sheet steel, are also possible.

The lower wall portion 3 is shaped U-at its lower edge with two, with the mouth downwards ze send · ¹ support brackets 5 are provided which are attached to the flat iron bar 2 of the frame from above and characterized d: n wall portion 3 at its lower edge determine.

This wall part 3 is also at its upper edge Completed by a flat iron rod 6, which is overlapped by U-shaped fastening devices 7 of the wall part 4. The area of this parting line is shown in FIGS.

The flat iron bar 6 is attached to the two corner pillars with the aid of the device shown in FIGS. This consists of a one-armed lever 8 made of flake iron, which is attached to the flat iron rod 6 by means of a pivot axis 9 is pivotally supported. Fig. 2 shows how this lever 8 in the pivoted down position the angle leg lying in the wall plane the corner pillar 1, on which the end of the flat iron bar rests on the outside, in turn overlaps from the inside and thereby this Flat iron bar 6 as well as this at the same time the wall part 3 on his left end gives a firm hold. In addition, the left end of the wall part attached to ... the flat iron bar 6 is thereby also removed 4 established. Fig. 3 relates to the right end of the flat iron rod 6, on which an identical one-armed lever 8 is located, namely this is drawn here in the unfolded position.

It can be seen that with the frame initially open, the lowermost wall part 3 can be easily inserted from the front and by means of the Retaining bracket 5 can be attached to the flat iron bar 2. The two one-armed levers 8 are initially in the open position Position according to FIG. 3, so that it is possible, the flat iron bar 6 of this wall part 3 on the outer surfaces of the two Create corner pillars 1. Then, at both ends of the rod 6, the lever 8 is pivoted down into the horizontal position again dif in Fig. 2 recognizable two-pronged fork formed, with which the flat iron rod 6 is held on the two corner pillars 1.

To increase the stability of the fork-shaped structure, a sohmaler strip 8 'is bent vertically over the end of the flat iron rod 6 over and down at its end so that a downwardly open U-shaped bracket 8 ¹ results from the flat iron lever 8 in the middle area. In the closed position of the lever 8 shown in FIG. 2, the outer leg of this bracket 8 ¹ engages over the end of the flat iron rod 6 and thereby connects the two fork prongs with one another, so that the wall pressure of the filled goods is not absorbed by the pivot bolt alone. but to a significant extent also by this U-shaped cross bracket 8 *.

If a further wall part is placed on the wall part 4, the wall part 4 is likewise at its upper edge equipped with a flat iron rod 6, on which the overlying wall part is in the manner explained with his Can put on retaining brackets. However, if the wall is only divided into two parts, then the design of the upper boundary edge is of part 4 any. In any case, however, the part 4 must also be reliable at its upper edge with the two corner pillars 1 be firmly connected.

The clip-on frame chosen as an example for illustration is only one of various possible constructive solutions represent, by means of which the concept of control can be realized can. Of course, the union of two superimposed Wall parts can also be made with the help of other structural elements - instead of the bracket 7. The same is true with regard to the devices 8/9, which are used to attach the wall parts to the two corner pillars.
