Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Palette und insbesondere eine neuartige Palette, welche sehr leicht und stark ist. Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft des Weiteren einen Behälter, welcher eine Basis aufweist, die eine derartige Palette umfasst.The present invention relates a pallet and in particular a novel pallet which is very is light and strong. The present invention further relates a container, which has a base comprising such a pallet.

Herkömmliche Paletten werden bekanntlich aus einer rechteckigen oder quadratischen Plattform gebildet, welche im Allgemeinen aus Holz hergestellt ist und auf einer Mehrzahl von quaderförmigen Beinen aufliegt, die im Allgemeinen ebenfalls aus Holz hergestellt sind. Derartige Beine heben die Plattform vom Boden an, um darunter die horizontalen Arme der Gabelstapler, welche das Hochheben und Verstellen der Paletten vornehmen, einzuführen. Die Beine haben nötigenfalls einige Auflagebalken darunter befestigt, welche der Palette eine größere Stabilität in der Stapelphase verleihen.Conventional pallets are known to be off a rectangular or square platform formed which generally made of wood and on a majority of cuboid Legs that are generally made of wood are. Such legs raise the platform from the ground to below the horizontal arms of the forklifts lifting and lifting Adjust the pallets, insert. The legs have if necessary attached some support beams underneath, which the pallet one greater stability in the Lend pile phase.

Um die Herstellungskosten der bekannten Paletten zu senken, wurde z. B. in US 3702100 und US 5197395 vorgeschlagen, sie mit Kunststoffmaterial und insbesondere mit Recyclingkunststoff herzustellen. Um jedoch die hohen Gewichte der zu befördernden Güter auszuhalten, erfordern diese bekannten Paletten, welche aus Kunststoff hergestellt werden, eine große Menge Material, was zu einer unvorteilhaften Zunahme des Gewichts und der Kosten führt.To reduce the manufacturing cost of the known pallets, z. In US 3702100 and US 5197395 proposed to produce them with plastic material and in particular with recycled plastic. However, in order to withstand the high weights of the goods to be carried, these known pallets made of plastic require a large amount of material, resulting in unfavorable increases in weight and cost.

Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, eine Palette bereitzustellen, welche frei von derartigen Nachteilen ist, d. h. eine Palette, welche, wenn sie aus einem Kunststoffmaterial hergestellt ist, trotzdem leicht und stark ist. Eine derartige Aufgabe wird durch eine Palette bewerkstelligt, deren Hauptmerkmale im ersten Patentanspruch einzeln aufgeführt sind.The object of the present invention It is therefore to provide a pallet free of such Disadvantages is, d. H. a pallet, which, if made of a plastic material is still lightweight and strong. Such a task will accomplished by a pallet whose main features in the first Claim individually listed are.

Dank der speziellen alveolären Struktur der Plattform, auf welcher die zu ladenden Güter angeordnet werden, ist die Palette gemäß der vorliegen den Erfindung für alle erforderlichen Verwendungszwecke leicht und stark genug, und außerdem ist die Materialmenge derart, dass ihre Kosten besonders wettbewerbsfähig sind, insbesondere wenn sie aus Recyclingkunststoff hergestellt wird.Thanks to the special alveolar structure the platform on which the goods to be loaded are placed is the pallet according to the present Invention for all necessary uses light and strong enough, and in addition is the amount of material such that their cost is particularly competitive, especially if it is made of recycled plastic.

Die alveoläre Struktur der Plattform gestattet es des Weiteren, die Palette durch Formen in einem Stück zu erzeugen, ohne dass Letzteres weiteren Herstellungsschritten unterzogen werden müsste. Vor allem ist es durch die leichte Neigung der Seitenwände der Alveolen möglich, einerseits eine Abschrägung zur problemlosen Entnahme der Palette aus der Form zu erhalten und andererseits ohne weitere Verarbeitung direkt ein Durchgangsloch durch die Wände bereitzustellen.The alveolar structure of the platform allows it further, to produce the pallet by molding in one piece, without the latter being subjected to further production steps would. In front It is all due to the slight inclination of the side walls of the Alveoli possible, on the one hand a bevel for easy removal of the pallet from the mold and on the other hand directly without further processing, a through hole through the walls provide.

Ein weiterer Vorteil der Palette gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht in der Tatsache, dass die Beine einstückig mit der Plattform bereitgestellt werden können. Derartige Beine weisen vorzugsweise eine nach unten konisch zulaufende Form auf, wobei die größere Basis offen und zur Oberseite der Plattform gewandt ist. Dank dieser Anordnung ist es möglich, die Beine einer Palette in die Beine einer anderen darunter liegenden Palette einzufügen und auf diese Weise mehrere Paletten aufeinander zu lagern, was zu einem kleineren Volumen und einer größeren Stabilität in Bezug auf einen Stapel von bekannten Paletten führt.Another advantage of the pallet according to the present Invention consists in the fact that the legs are integral with the platform can be provided. Show such legs Preferably, a downwardly tapered shape, wherein the bigger base open and facing the top of the platform. Thanks to this arrangement Is it possible, the legs of one pallet in the legs of another underneath Insert palette and store several pallets in this way, which related to a smaller volume and greater stability leads to a stack of known pallets.

Ein weiterer Vorteil der Palette gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht in der Tatsache, dass sie mit mechanischen Elementen, wie beispielsweise Aufnahmen zur Einfügung von Standrohren, vertikalen Wänden und Rädern, versehen ist, welche es erlauben, die Palette übereinander zu legen und in einen Förderkarren, einen offenen, halbgeschlossenen oder geschlossenen Behälter, umzugestalten.Another advantage of the pallet according to the present Invention consists in the fact that with mechanical elements, such as recordings for insertion of stanchions, vertical walls and wheels, is provided, which allow the pallet on top of each other and in a trolley, an open, half-closed or closed container to reshape.

Weitere Vorteile und Merkmale der Palette gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung sind für die Fachleute aus der folgenden ausführlichen Beschreibung einer Ausführungsform davon unter Bezugnahme auf die beiliegenden Zeichnungen ersichtlich, wobei:Further advantages and features of Pallet according to the present Invention are for those skilled in the art from the following detailed description of a embodiment thereof with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:

1 eine auseinander gezogene perspektivische Ansicht eines Behälters darstellt, welcher zwei Paletten gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung umfasst; 1 an exploded perspective view of a container comprising two pallets according to the present invention;

2 eine teilweise Draufsicht von oben der Plattform von 1 darstellt; 2 a partial top view of the platform of 1 represents;

3 eine teilweise Querschnittansicht entlang der Linie III-III von 2 darstellt; und 3 a partial cross-sectional view along the line III-III of 2 represents; and

4 einen Behälter darstellt, welcher zwei Abdeckungen für die Palette gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung umfasst. 4 a container comprising two covers for the pallet according to the present invention.

Unter Bezugnahme auf 1 umfasst die Palette gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung bekanntlich eine Plattform 1, welche im Wesentlichen quaderförmig ist und auf welcher die zu ladenden Güter (in der Zeichnung nicht dargestellt) angeordnet werden können. Eine derartige Plattform liegt auf einer Mehrzahl von Beinen 2 auf, welche in der vorliegenden Ausführungsform neun an der Zahl sind, aber in anderen Ausführungsformen weniger oder mehr sein können.With reference to 1 The pallet according to the present invention is known to comprise a platform 1 , which is substantially cuboid and on which the goods to be loaded (not shown in the drawing) can be arranged. Such a platform rests on a plurality of legs 2 which are nine in number in the present embodiment but may be less or more in other embodiments.

Die Beine 2 sind geeigneterweise hohl und weisen eine nach unten konische zulaufende Form auf, wobei die größere Basis offen und zur Oberseite der Plattform gewandt ist. In der vorliegenden Ausführungsform sind die Beine 2 im Wesentlichen pyramidenstumpfförmig, aber in anderen Ausführungsformen gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung können die Beine natürlich eine andere nach unten konisch zulaufende Form, wie beispielsweise die eines stumpfen Kegels, aufweisen. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, zwei oder mehr Paletten gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung auf eine stabile, nicht voluminöse Weise zu stapeln. Die Basis der vier Beine 2, welche an den Ecken der unteren Basis angeordnet sind, ist vorzugsweise mit einem Durchgangsloch (in der Zeichnung nicht sichtbar) versehen, worin ein Drehzapfen 3, welcher senkrecht zur Achse eines Laufrads 4 befestigt ist, herausnehmbar eingefügt werden kann. Durch Anbringen von wenigstens vier Rädern 4 unterhalb der Palette gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung kann diese problemlos in einen Förderkarren mit Drehrädern umgestaltet werden.The legs 2 are suitably hollow and have a downwardly tapered shape with the larger base open and facing the top of the platform. In the present embodiment, the legs are 2 Of course, in other truncated pyramid shapes, but in other embodiments according to the present invention, the legs may of course have another downwardly tapered shape, such as that of a blunt cone. In this way it is possible to stack two or more pallets according to the present invention in a stable, non-voluminous manner. The base of the four legs 2 , which are arranged at the corners of the lower base, is preferably provided with a through hole (not visible in the drawing), wherein a pivot 3 , which is perpendicular to the axis of an impeller 4 is attached, removable can be inserted. By attaching at least four wheels 4 below the pallet according to the present invention, this can be easily converted into a trolley with wheels.

Die vier Beine 2, welche an den Ecken der unteren Plattform angeordnet sind, sind innerlich mit einer pyramidenstumpfförmigen Aufnahme (in der Zeichnung nicht sichtbar) versehen, worin das entsprechende konisch zulaufende Ende 5 eines Standrohrs 6, welches aus einem L-förmigen Profil besteht, eingefügt werden kann. Die Basis eines solchen Endes 5 ist mit Befestigungsmitteln (in der Zeichnung nicht sichtbar), um zu verhindern, dass das Standrohr versehentlich aus seiner Aufnahme kommt, sowie mit einem Loch 7 versehen, das mit dem Loch von Bein 2, welches das Standrohr darin eingefügt hat, ausgerichtet ist. Durch Einfügen der vier Standrohre 6 an den vier Ecken der Plattform 1 ist es möglich, eine zweite Palette 8 über der ersten anzuordnen und auf diese Weise eine Palette mit zwei Ebenen zu erhalten. Zu diesem Zweck sind die oberen Enden der Standrohre 6 mit einem Drehzapfen 9 versehen, welcher in das entsprechende Loch des Beins der Palette 8 und in das Loch 7 des Standrohrs, welches gegebenenfalls in solch ein Bein eingefügt ist, eingefügt werden kann. Tatsächlich können natürlich eine dritte Palette, sowie andere Paletten über der Palette 8 auf die zuvor erwähnte Weise angeordnet werden, um eine Struktur mit mehreren Ebenen zu erhalten.The four legs 2 , which are arranged at the corners of the lower platform are internally provided with a truncated pyramid-shaped receptacle (not visible in the drawing), wherein the corresponding tapered end 5 a standpipe 6 , which consists of an L-shaped profile, can be inserted. The basis of such an end 5 is with fasteners (not visible in the drawing) to prevent the standpipe from accidentally coming out of its socket, as well as a hole 7 provided that with the hole of leg 2 , which has the standpipe inserted therein, is aligned. By inserting the four standpipes 6 at the four corners of the platform 1 is it possible to have a second pallet 8th to arrange above the first and thus obtain a pallet with two levels. For this purpose, the upper ends of the standpipes 6 with a pivot 9 provided, which in the corresponding hole of the leg of the pallet 8th and in the hole 7 of the standpipe, which is optionally inserted in such a leg, can be inserted. In fact, of course, a third pallet, as well as other pallets above the pallet 8th arranged in the aforementioned manner to obtain a multi-level structure.

Die beiden übereinander gelegten und durch die Standrohre 6 beabstandeten Paletten können Seitenwände 10 (teilweise dargestellt) dazwischen eingefügt haben, welche dazu dienen, diese Paletten in einen Behälter umzugestalten, welcher an einer oder mehr Seiten geschlossen ist. Zu diesem Zweck sind die Kanten der Plattform 1 auf der Oberseite und auf der Unterseite mit Rillen 11 und 12 versehen, worin die unteren beziehungsweise oberen Kanten einer Seitenwand eingefügt werden können. Die Seitenkanten solch einer Seitenwand liegen stattdessen gegen die Standrohre 6 an, um die Wand zu rahmen und ihr Stabilität zu verleihen, sowie einen geschlossenen Behälter zu bilden.The two superimposed and through the standpipes 6 spaced pallets can side walls 10 (partially shown) interposed, which serve to reshape these pallets into a container which is closed at one or more sides. For this purpose, the edges of the platform 1 on the top and on the bottom with grooves 11 and 12 in which the lower and upper edges of a side wall can be inserted. The side edges of such a sidewall are instead against the stanchions 6 to frame the wall and give it stability, as well as to form a closed container.

Die Palette gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung kann des Weiteren eine Abdeckung 13 umfassen, welche mit wenigstens einem Loch 14 an jeder Ecke versehen ist. In der vorliegenden Ausführungsform ist der Großteil der Oberfläche solch einer Abdeckung durchlöchert, aber es ist offensichtlich, dass die Abdeckung 13 in anderen Ausführungsformen der vorliegenden Erfindung geschlossen und nur auf der Ebene der vier Ecken mit Löchern 14 versehen sein kann. Außer die Güter, welche auf der Plattform 1 angeordnet sind, abzudecken, dient die Abdeckung 13 des Weiteren dazu, die vier Standrohre 6 genau auszurichten, bevor eine mögliche obere Plattform 8 darüber gelagert wird. Dank der Abdeckung 13 wird die Verbindung zwischen den Drehzapfen 9 der Standrohre 6 und den Löchern an der Basis der Beine einer derartigen Plattform 8 auf diese Weise leichter gemacht. Die Abdeckung 13 ist ebenfalls mit Umfangsrillen versehen, um einen geschlossenen Behälter, welcher Seitenwände 10, die Abdeckung 13 und die Plattform 1 an seiner Basis umfasst, zu erhalten.The pallet according to the present invention may further comprise a cover 13 include, which with at least one hole 14 is provided on every corner. In the present embodiment, most of the surface of such a cover is perforated, but it is obvious that the cover 13 closed in other embodiments of the present invention and only at the level of the four corners with holes 14 can be provided. Except the goods, which are on the platform 1 are arranged to cover, serves the cover 13 furthermore, the four standpipes 6 to align exactly before a possible upper platform 8th is stored over it. Thanks to the cover 13 will be the connection between the pivots 9 the stanchions 6 and the holes at the base of the legs of such a platform 8th made easier this way. The cover 13 is also provided with circumferential grooves to a closed container, which side walls 10 , the cover 13 and the platform 1 at its base includes receiving.

Unter den Beinen 2 der Plattform 1 können eine oder mehr Auflagebasen, insbesondere drei Balken 15, durch eine Mehrzahl von Zähnen 16, welche in die entsprechenden Aufnahmen eingepasst werden, welche an der Basis der Beine vorgesehen sind, befestigt werden.Under the legs 2 the platform 1 can one or more support bases, in particular three bars 15 , by a plurality of teeth 16 which are fitted into the corresponding seats provided at the base of the legs.

Nunmehr unter Bezugnahme auf 2 und 3 ist die Plattform 1 der Palette gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung geeigneterweise aus einer Schicht von benachbarten Alveolen 17 gebildet, welche im Wesentlichen pyramidenstumpfförmig sind und eine quadratische Basis aufweisen, wobei die größere Basis 18 offen ist und die kleinere Basis 19 geschlossen, aber vorzugsweise mit einem runden Durchgangsloch 20 versehen ist. In 1 ist eine derartige alveoläre Struktur nur teilweise dargestellt, aber selbstverständlich erstreckt sie sich mit Ausnahme der Beine 2 über die gesamte Plattform 1. Die Alveolen 17 sind geeigneterweise in mehreren Reihen und Spalten angeordnet, so dass die offene Basis 18' der Alveolen 17' benachbart zu einer Alveole 17 zur gegenüberliegenden Seite in Bezug auf die offene Basis 18 der Letzteren gewandt ist und auf diese Weise zu einer dreidimensionalen schachbrettartigen Struktur führt, welche ganz oder teilweise eine Wechselfolge von offenen und geschlossen Basen aufweist. Die Seitenwände 21 der Alveolen 17, welche diese sich mit benachbarten Alveolen 17' teilen, weisen vorzugsweise eine Neigung von 2° 30' auf und sind vorzugsweise auch mit einem runden Durchgangsloch 22 versehen. Die Löcher 20 und 22 dienen dazu, die Plattform 1 leichter zu machen, ohne ihre Festigkeit zu gefährden, und können natürlich jede Form, Größe und Anzahl aufweisen, soweit es die Strukturmerkmale der Palette erlauben. Die Löcher 20 und 22 können sogar so groß sein, dass sie kleinere Basen 19 und/oder Seitenwände 21 in einfache Rahmen verwandeln, vorausgesetzt natürlich, dass die Plattform 1 nicht übermäßig geschwächt wird.Now referring to 2 and 3 is the platform 1 the pallet according to the present invention suitably from a layer of adjacent alveoli 17 formed, which are substantially truncated pyramid-shaped and have a square base, wherein the larger base 18 is open and the smaller base 19 closed, but preferably with a round through hole 20 is provided. In 1 Such an alveolar structure is only partially illustrated, but of course it extends with the exception of the legs 2 over the entire platform 1 , The alveoli 17 are suitably arranged in several rows and columns, so that the open base 18 ' the alveoli 17 ' adjacent to an alveolus 17 to the opposite side with respect to the open base 18 the latter is turned and in this way leads to a three-dimensional checkerboard-like structure which, in whole or in part, has an alternating sequence of open and closed bases. The side walls 21 the alveoli 17 which these are with adjacent alveoli 17 ' divide, preferably have a slope of 2 ° 30 'and are preferably also with a round through hole 22 Provided. The holes 20 and 22 serve the platform 1 of course, without compromising their strength and, of course, can have any shape, size and number as far as the structural features of the pallet allow. The holes 20 and 22 can even be so big that they have smaller bases 19 and / or side walls 21 turn into simple frames, provided, of course, that the platform 1 is not unduly weakened.

Um die Löcher 22 durch einen einzigen Formschritt ohne nachträgliche Durchlöcherungen zu erhalten, sind in der Form zwei Dorne auf der Ebene jeder Seitenwand 21 der Alveolen 17 vorgesehen, so dass, wenn die Palette geformt wird, diese Dorne aus den Seitenwänden zwei gegenüberliegende halbkreisförmige Abschnitte 23 entfernen, deren Enden sich entlang zweier leicht auseinander gehender gerader Linien erstrecken. Durch diese Anordnung bilden die beiden benachbarten Halbkreise, welche jeden Abschnitt 23 ergänzen, das runde Loch 22.Around the holes 22 by means of a single forming step without subsequent perforations, there are two mandrels in the form at the level of each side wall 21 the alveoli 17 provided so that when the pallet is formed, these mandrels from the side walls two opposite semi-circular sections 23 remove, the ends of which extend along two slightly spaced straight lines. By this arrangement, the two adjacent semicircles form each section 23 complete the round hole 22 ,

Nunmehr unter Bezugnahme auf 4 können zwei Abdeckungen 13 für die Palette gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung verwendet werden, um einen Behälter zu erhalten, dessen untere und obere Basen aus derartigen Abdeckungen bestehen. Der Satz von Abdeckungen 13 und Seitenwänden 10 (teilweise dargestellt), welche in die entsprechenden Umfangsrillen eingefügt werden, wird vorzugsweise durch ein oder mehr Bänder 24 gebunden und kann auf die Plattform 1 der Palette gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung (in gestrichelter Linie dargestellt) aufgelegt werden.Now referring to 4 can have two covers 13 be used for the pallet according to the present invention to obtain a container whose lower and upper bases consist of such covers. The set of covers 13 and sidewalls 10 (partially shown), which are inserted into the corresponding circumferential grooves, is preferably by one or more bands 24 tied and can be on the platform 1 the pallet according to the present invention (shown in dashed line) are placed.

Es ist offensichtlich, dass die Basis der pyramidenstumpfförmigen Alveolen in anderen Ausführungsformen der Palette gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung nicht nur quadratisch, sondern auch dreieckig, viereckig, sechseckig, achteckig oder anderweitig geformt sein kann.It is obvious that the base the truncated pyramidal Alveoli in other embodiments the pallet according to the present Invention not only square but also triangular, quadrangular, hexagonal, octagonal or otherwise shaped.

Es ist ebenso offensichtlich, dass die Alveolen in andern Ausführungsformen der Palette der vorliegenden Erfindung nicht nur pyramidenstumpfförmig, sondern auch prismatisch mit einer dreieckigen, viereckigen, sechseckigen achteckigen oder anderweitig geformten Basis und sogar gekrümmt sein können, vorausgesetzt, dass es auf jeden Fall, wenigstens teilweise, eine Wechselfolge von offenen und geschlossen Basen gibt.It's just as obvious that the alveoli in other embodiments the palette of the present invention not only truncated pyramid, but also prismatic with a triangular, quadrangular, hexagonal octagonal or otherwise shaped base and may even be curved, provided that that in any case, at least in part, an alternation of open and closed bases.

Und schließlich ist es offensichtlich, dass andere Ausführungsformen der Palette gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung mit weiteren mechanischen Elementen versehen werden können, welche imstande sind, ihre Vielseitigkeit und/oder ihre Funktion zu verbessern. Zum Beispiel können die Standrohre 6 mit Seitenlöchern zum Zusammenschrauben mit benachbarten Standrohren einer anderen Palette versehen werden, um zwei Paletten mit mehreren Ebenen, welche nebeneinander angeordnet sind, aneinander zu befestigen. Eine andere Ausführungsform der Palette gemäß der vorliegenden Erfindung kann des Weiteren stützende Verbindungsstangen, welche diagonal zwischen zwei übereinander gelagerten Plattformen angeordnet werden, um die Festigkeit der Kombination zu verbessern, oder eine auf der Plattform 1 anzuordnende Schließplatte, um zu verhindern, dass die zu ladenden Güter in die Alveolen oder in die Beine davon geraten, umfassen.Finally, it is obvious that other embodiments of the pallet according to the present invention can be provided with further mechanical elements capable of improving their versatility and / or their function. For example, the stanchions can 6 be provided with side holes for screwing together with adjacent stanchions of another pallet to fasten two pallets with multiple levels, which are arranged side by side, to each other. Another embodiment of the pallet according to the present invention may further include supporting connecting rods which are arranged diagonally between two superimposed platforms to improve the strength of the combination, or one on the platform 1 to be arranged closing plate to prevent the goods to be loaded in the alveoli or in the legs of it, include.
