Description

La présente invention est. relative à un assemblage du plancher et de la semelle d'une palette à 1' intervention de pièces d'écartement particulières.The present invention is. relating to an assembly of the floor and the sole of a pallet with the intervention of particular spacers.

De façon connue en soi, la pièce d'écartement comporte au moins un passage qui la traverse de part en part pour les éléments de fixation du plancher à la semelle et pour les éléments de renforcement éventuels.In a manner known per se, the spacer comprises at least one passage which crosses it right through for the elements for fixing the floor to the sole and for any reinforcing elements.

Conformément à l'invention, des éléments obturateurs sont prévus pour coopérer avec le passage de la pièce d.'écartement, l'un à l'extrémité côté plancher, l'autre à l'extrémité côté semelle pour obturer ledit passage et pour bloquer lesdits. éléments mâles dans le passage de la pièce d'écartement.In accordance with the invention, shutter elements are provided to cooperate with the passage of the spacer, one at the end on the floor side, the other at the end on the sole side to close off said passage and to block said. male elements in the passage of the spacer.

De préférence, les moyens de blocage comprennent des rugosités prévues sur la surface interne du passage de la pièce d'écartement et sur la surface externe des éléments obturateurs, ainsi qu'une légère conicité de ceux-ci.Preferably, the locking means comprise roughness provided on the internal surface of the passage of the spacer and on the external surface of the shutter elements, as well as a slight taper thereof.

En variante, l'un des éléments obturateurs peut être creux lui-même et recevoir l'extrémité de l'autre obturateur.Alternatively, one of the shutter elements may be hollow itself and receive the end of the other shutter.

Une paire d'obturateurs de ce genre peut remplacer un tube de sertissage dans la pièce d'écartement.A pair of such plugs can replace a crimp tube in the spacer.

On prévoit également des profils de renforcement des bords des planches tant du plancher que de la semelle.Reinforcement profiles are also provided for the edges of the boards, both of the floor and of the sole.

Avantageusement pour empêcher la rotation de la pièce d'écartement,les bords d'attaque de la pièce d'écartement destinés à venir en contact avec le plancher respectivement la semelle sont pourvus de saillies qui s'enfoncent dans le bois du plancher respectivement de la semelle lors du serrage des éléments obturateurs en place.Advantageously to prevent rotation of the spacer, the leading edges of the spacer intended to come into contact with the floor respectively the sole are provided with protrusions which sink into the wood of the floor respectively of the sole when tightening the shutter elements in place.

De même les éléments obturateurs comportent des moyens pour empêcher leur rotation par rapport au plancher ou à la semelle qu'ils traversent ou encore par rapport à la pièce d'écartement.Likewise, the shutter elements comprise means for preventing their rotation relative to the floor or to the sole which they pass through or also relative to the spacer.

Ces moyens consistent par exemple en ce que la partie traversante de l'obturateur a au moins un tronçon de section transversale polygonale, le trou pratique dans le bois pour le recevoir étant adapté à la forme et aux dimensions de l'obturateur. Le tube central de la pièce d'écartement peut également avoir une section semblable pour recevoir l'extrémité interne de l'obturateur.These means consist, for example, in that the through part of the shutter has at least one section of polygonal cross section, the practical hole in the wood for receiving it being adapted to the shape and dimensions of the shutter. The central tube of the spacer can also have a similar section to receive the internal end of the shutter.

En variante, lorsqu'on désire fabriquer une palette légère facilement et rapidement, on supprime la semelle et on transforme les pièces d'écartement en pieds qui reposent directement sur le sol par l'entremise d'une base propre à chaque pied. Ceux-ci ont donc une base individuelle conformée pour que l'ensemble de ces bases tienne lieu de semelle.As a variant, when it is desired to manufacture a light pallet easily and quickly, the sole is removed and the spacers are transformed into feet which rest directly on the ground by means of a base specific to each foot. These therefore have a shaped individual base so that all of these bases act as a sole.

De plus chaque pied comporte à son extrémité supérieure une partie conformée pour se visser dans le plancher de la palette. Cette partie présente d'une part un filet externe et d'autre part une section interne faite pour coopérer avec un outil de vissage, tournevis, clé ou l'équivalent.In addition, each leg has at its upper end a shaped part for screwing into the floor of the pallet. This part has on the one hand an external thread and on the other hand a section in dull made to cooperate with a screwing tool, screwdriver, wrench or equivalent.

Sous l'action de cet outil, le filet externe coopère avec un pas de vis pratiqué dans une forure du plancher pour y visser et bloquer le pied.Under the action of this tool, the external thread cooperates with a thread made in a hole in the floor to screw and block the foot.

L'invention est maintenant décrite ci-après en relation avec les dessins ci-annexés dans lesquels :

Dans ces différentes figures, les mêmes notations de référence désignent les mêmes éléments.In these different figures, the same reference notations designate the same elements.

La pièce d'écartement représentée sur les figures 1 à 3 comporte un corps en matière plastique, par exemple polyéthylène ou polypropylène, désigné généralement 1, pourvu d'une paroi externe 10, d'un passage central axial 2 traversant et de nervures de renforcement 3.The spacer shown in Figures 1 to 3 comprises a plastic body, for example polyethylene or polypropylene, generally designated 1, provided with an external wall 10, a central axial passage 2 passing through and reinforcing ribs 3.

La surface interne du passage ou tube central 2 est garnie de rugosités 4 visibles plus particulièrement sur la figure 3. Deux obturateurs, respectivement 5 et 6, coopèrent avec la pièce d'écartement 1 pour fixer ensemble le plancher 7 et la semelle 8 de la palette. La surface externe de chacun de ces obturateurs est pourvue de rugosités 9 visibles plus particulièrement sur la figure 3, complémentaires de celles du passage central 2 pour bloquer les obturateurs une fois qu'ils sont bien enfoncés dans le tube de la pièce d'écartement.The internal surface of the passage or central tube 2 is provided with roughness 4 visible more particularly in FIG. 3. Two shutters, respectively 5 and 6, cooperate with the spacer 1 to fix the floor 7 and the sole 8 of the pallet together. The external surface of each of these shutters is provided with roughnesses 9 visible more particularly in FIG. 3, complementary to those of the central passage 2 to block the shutters once they are fully inserted into the tube of the spacer.

Comme on le voit sur la figure 3, les différentes rugosités sont orientées de manière à permettre l'enfoncement et non le retrait des obturateurs dans le tube de la pièce d'écartement. Une légère conicité des obturateurs, c'est-à-dire une diminution de leur diamètre depuis leur extrémité externe à leur extrémité interne y contribue.As seen in Figure 3, the various roughnesses are oriented so as to allow the insertion and not the withdrawal of the plugs in the tube of the spacer. A slight taper of the shutters, that is to say a reduction in their diameter from their outer end to their inner end contributes to this.

Les obturateurs ont une longueur suffisante pour traverser le plancher ou la semelle et s'engager dans le tube de la pièce d'écartement jusqu'à son tiers environ.The shutters have a sufficient length to pass through the floor or the sole and engage in the tube of the spacer up to about a third.

Ils peuvent donc être de longueurs différentes, par exemple 50 mm pour traverser la semelle et 70 mm pour traverser le plancher (2 épaisseurs de plancher) dans le cas d'une pièce d'écartement de 100 mm de hauteur.They can therefore be of different lengths, for example 50 mm to pass through the sole and 70 mm to pass through the floor (2 thicknesses of floor) in the case of a spacer 100 mm high.

Le diamètre hors-tout de la pièce d'écartement peut être de 60 mm, ses parois peuvent avoir une épaisseur de 4 mm et le passage central du tube peut avoir un diamètre de 30 mm.The overall diameter of the spacer can be 60 mm, its walls can have a thickness of 4 mm and the central passage of the tube can have a diameter of 30 mm.

Cette forme de pièce d'écartement avec obturateur en matière plastique convient pour des palettes légères ne nécessitant aucun renforcement métallique.This form of spacer with plastic shutter is suitable for light pallets requiring no metallic reinforcement.

Dans le cas d'une plus grande palette, on peut utiliser à la place des tubes de sertissage une paire d'obturateurs l'un mâle 20, l'autre femelle 21 de longueur suffisante pour s'engager l'un dans l'autre sur au moins un tiers de leur longueur totale une fois mis en place.In the case of a larger pallet, a pair may be used instead of the crimping tubes shutters, one male 20, the other female 21 of sufficient length to engage one another over at least one third of their total length once in place.

L'élément mâle, est garni sur sa face externe de rugosités et l'élément femelle est garni sur sa face interne de rugosités complémentaires semblables à celles des obturateurs et de la pièce d.'écartement décrits précédemment.The male element is lined on its external face with roughness and the female element is lined on its internal face with complementary roughness similar to that of the shutters and of the spacer piece described above.

La solidité de la palette est encore renforcée par le fait que l'on prévoit en outre des éléments de renforcement des bords des planches tant du plancher que de la semelle. Deux variantes 25,26 de ces bordures sont représentées sur les figures 5A et 5B. Elles sont réalisées en matière plastique résistant au choc par exemple polyester, Delrin ST, et sontobtenues par moulage ou par extension.The solidity of the pallet is further reinforced by the fact that provision is also made for reinforcing elements of the edges of the boards both of the floor and of the sole. Two variants 25, 26 of these borders are shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B. They are made of impact-resistant plastic, for example polyester, Delrin ST, and are obtained by molding or by extension.

Dans une réalisation préférée, le bord d'attaque supérieur et inférieur de la paroi externe 10 est pourvue de saillies réparties sur sa périphérie par exemple en regard de chaque nervure 3. Ces saillies peuvent avoir toute forme appropriée tenant compte de la dureté du bois.In a preferred embodiment, the upper and lower leading edge of the external wall 10 is provided with projections distributed over its periphery, for example opposite each rib 3. These projections can have any suitable shape taking account of the hardness of the wood.

Lors du serrage des planches 7 et 8, au moyen des éléments obturateurs 5 et 6, les saillies mordent dans le bois des planches 7 et 8 et empêchent ainsi la rotation de la pièce d'écartement.When clamping the boards 7 and 8, by means of the shutter elements 5 and 6, the projections bite into the wood of the boards 7 and 8 and thus prevent the rotation of the spacer.

De plus, chaque élément obturateur 5, 6 a dans sa partie destinée à traverser le bois du plancher ou de la semelle un tronçon de section transversale polygonale, par exemple rectangulaire. Le bois comporte un trou de forme et dimensions correspondantes. Ledit tronçon de section polygonale peut se limiter à la partie externe de l'obturateur ou, au contraire, s'étendre sur toute la partie traversante, voire même la totalité de la longueur de l'obturateur auquel cas le passage central 2 de la pièce d'écartement comporte également une section polygonale au moins dans sa partie qui reçoit l'obturateur à chaque extrémité.In addition, each shutter element 5, 6 has in its part intended to pass through the wood of the floor or of the sole a section of polygonal cross section, for example rectangular. The wood has a hole of corresponding shape and dimensions. Said section of polygonal section may be limited to the external part of the shutter or, on the contrary, extend over the entire through part, or even all the length of the shutter in which case the central passage 2 of the spacer also has a polygonal section at least in its part which receives the shutter at each end.

Les figures 6 à 8 illustrent une variante propre aux palettes légères sans semelle.Figures 6 to 8 illustrate a variant specific to light pallets without sole.

Le pied désigné dans son ensemble par la notation de référence 31 comporte un corps cylindrique délimité par une paroi 32 et pourvu de renforts 33 qui laissent un passage cylindrique central 34 ouvert à sa partie inférieure. Le cylindre 32 comporte une embase 35 et des contreforts 36 joignant l'embase au sommet du cylindre. Celui-ci comporte également à sa partie supérieure une tête filetée 37 pourvue d'un filet externe 38 destiné à coopérer avec un pas de vis correspondant pratiqué dans une forure de longeron 39 et une forure de la traverse 40, ces.forures étant pratiquées en regard l'une de l'autre pour recevoir ensemble la tête 37.The foot designated as a whole by the reference notation 31 comprises a cylindrical body delimited by a wall 32 and provided with reinforcements 33 which leave a central cylindrical passage 34 open at its lower part. The cylinder 32 has a base 35 and buttresses 36 joining the base to the top of the cylinder. The latter also comprises at its upper part a threaded head 37 provided with an external thread 38 intended to cooperate with a corresponding screw pitch made in a spar bore 39 and a bore in the crosspiece 40, ces.forures being made in look at each other to receive the head together 37.

Au niveau du sommet du cylindre 32 et à la base de la tête filetée 37, le passage 34 présente une section hexagonale interne 41 destinée à coopérer avec l'extrémité d'un outil de vissage introduit par l'ouverture de l'embase 35 et le passage 34, pour assurer le vissage et le blocage de la tête filetée 37 dans les planches 39 et 40 de la palette.At the top of the cylinder 32 and at the base of the threaded head 37, the passage 34 has an internal hexagonal section 41 intended to cooperate with the end of a screwing tool introduced by the opening of the base 35 and the passage 34, to ensure the screwing and blocking of the threaded head 37 in the boards 39 and 40 of the pallet.

Une palette légère comportant uniquement un plancher peut ainsi comporter par exemple six pied dont les embases permettent de supprimer la semelle en bois. Les longerons et traverses étant maintenus en place par la tête filetée du pied, on peut réduire au minimum les autres éléments de fixation (clous, agrafes...)qui assemblent entre eux les longerons et traverses du plancher.A light pallet comprising only one floor can thus comprise for example six feet whose bases allow the wooden sole to be removed. The side members and cross members being held in place by the threaded head of the foot, we can minimize the other fastening elements (nails, staples ...) which join together the side members and cross members of the floor.

On peut évidemment concevoir dans le cadre de cette invention, des variantes par rapport à l'objet décrit ci-dessus.We can obviously conceive in the context of this invention, variations from the object described above.

Ainsi par exemple le corps, au lieu d'être cylindrique avec une embase et des contreforts, peut être tronconique.Thus for example the body, instead of being cylindrical with a base and buttresses, can be frustoconical.

La section hexagonale prévue à la base de la tête filetée peut être remplacée par toute autre section (rectangulaire, octogonale, fente) capable de coopérer avec l'extrémité d'un outil de vissage, avantageusement une clé ou un tournevis pneumatique ou l'équivalent.The hexagonal section provided at the base of the threaded head can be replaced by any other section (rectangular, octagonal, slot) capable of cooperating with the end of a screwing tool, advantageously a wrench or a pneumatic screwdriver or the equivalent .

La tête filetée 37 au lieu d'être faite d'une pièce avec le pied ou bloc 31 peut être distincte de celui-ci. Dans ce cas elle vient obturer le passage central 34 du pied à l'extrémité supérieure de celui-ci en laissant du côté plancher un tronçon fileté pour le vissage de l'ensemble tête-pied dans le plancher. Cette pièce peut en particulier prendre la forme d'une simple vis, dont la tête s'engage à l'extrémité supérieure du passage 34 et la tige filetée se visse dans le plancher. Des moyens sont avantageusement prévus pour bloquer la vis par rapport au pied et consistent par exemple en ce que la tête de la vis a une section hexagonale ou l'équivalent qui épouse la forme de la section hexagonale interne 41 du passage 34.The threaded head 37 instead of being made in one piece with the foot or block 31 can be separate from the latter. In this case, it closes the central passage 34 of the foot at the upper end thereof, leaving on the floor side a threaded section for screwing the head-foot assembly into the floor. This part can in particular take the form of a simple screw, the head of which engages at the upper end of the passage 34 and the threaded rod is screwed into the floor. Means are advantageously provided for blocking the screw relative to the foot and consist, for example, in that the head of the screw has a hexagonal section or the equivalent which matches the shape of the internal hexagonal section 41 of the passage 34.

L'invention n'est évidemment pas limitée aux détails décrits plus haut.The invention is obviously not limited to the details described above.
