Description

La présente invention est relative à un nouvel ensemble pour le stockage,le transport et la distribution d'objets du type bouteille;, flacons et analogues et procédé pour sa fabrication.The present invention relates to a new assembly for the storage, transport and distribution of objects of the bottle type, flasks and the like and method for its manufacture.

Les palettes, qu'elles soient à simple face ou munies de housses amovibles telles qu'elles sont actuellement concues (80 cm x 120 cm, dimension standardisée) conviennent parfaitement au transport et à la manutention, notamment par des chariots élévateurs à fourches.Pallets, whether single-sided or fitted with removable covers as they are currently designed (80 cm x 120 cm, standardized size) are ideal for transport and handling, in particular by forklifts.

Très souvent, et notamment dans le cas de transport et de stockage de marchandises sous forme de bouteilles .(vins, bières, etc..) la palette et son chargement sont enveloppés d'une housse plastique rétractable à chaud. Cet emballage permet non seulement le transport en toute sécurité des matières fragiles, mais également il assure le maintien et la sécurité lors de la distribution et lors du stockage de la marchandise dans des magasins (à grande surface notamment). Ce système (palette standard, bacs contenant les bouteilles, housse en matière plastique rétractable) fonctionne déjà depuis plusieurs années et donne toute satisfaction et notamment dans le cas de marchandises à rotation rapide.Very often, and in particular in the case of transport and storage of goods in the form of bottles (wines, beers, etc.) the pallet and its load are wrapped in a shrink-wrapped plastic cover. This packaging not only allows the safe transport of fragile materials, but also it provides maintenance and security during the distribution and during storage of the goods in stores (especially large areas). This system (standard pallet, trays containing the bottles, shrink-wrapped plastic cover) has been working for several years and is very satisfactory, especially in the case of rapidly rotating goods.

Il n'en est pas du tout de même pour des marchandises à rotation plus lente (le vinaigre, par exemple). Non seulement la palette est immobilisée plus longtemps, mais de plus, étant de dimension standard elle occupe une surface trop importante, fait qui gêne un grand nombre de magasins.This is not at all the same for slower-rotating goods (vinegar, for example). Not only is the pallet immobilized longer, but moreover, being of standard size it occupies too large a surface, a fact which annoys a large number of stores.

Une première tentative pour résoudre cet épineux 1 problème consistait à utiliser deux demi-palettes posées sur la palette standard (obligatoire pour le transport), chacune de ces demi-palettes avec ses bacs contenant les bouteilles devenant indépendante lors de stockage et lors de la distribution dans le grand magasin. Si le problème de surface était parfaitement résolu, il n'en était pas de même en ce qui concernait la sécurité de la marchandise. En effet, une fois la housse de protection en matière plastique enlevée, les deux demi-palettes n'étaient plus maintenues pendant les manipulations sur les lieux de vente et il s'ensuivait des dégats importants. Bien sur, on pouvait résoudre le problème en réalisant trois protections par housses : une housse par demi-palette et une housse pour l'ensemble (palette plus les deux demi-palettes) lors du transport, mais cette solution ne pouvait être adoptée, car beaucoup trop onéreuse.A first attempt to solve this thorny 1 problem consisted in using two half-pallets placed on the standard pallet (compulsory for transport), each of these half-pallets with its trays containing the bottles becoming independent during storage and during distribution. in the department store. If the pro surface problem was perfectly resolved, it was not the same with regard to the security of the goods. In fact, once the protective plastic cover was removed, the two half-pallets were no longer held during handling at the point of sale and significant damage ensued. Of course, we could solve the problem by making three protections with covers: one cover per half-pallet and one cover for the whole (pallet plus the two half-pallets) during transport, but this solution could not be adopted, because far too expensive.

La présente invention s'est par conséquent donné pour but de pourvoir à un nouvel ensemble pour le transport, pour le stockage et pour la distribution des objets comme les bouteilles, flacons, bocaux ou analogues qui répond mieux aux nécessités de la pratique que le système antérieurement connu et notamment pour les marchandises à rotation lente, notamment en ce qu'il permet une occupation du sol réduite et une sécurité parfaite aussi bien pendant le transport que pendant la manipulation et la distribution des marchandises.The present invention is therefore given to provide a new set for the transport, storage and distribution of objects such as bottles, flasks, jars or the like which better meets the needs of practice than the system previously known and in particular for goods with slow rotation, in particular in that it allows a reduced occupation of the ground and a perfect security as well during the transport as during the handling and the distribution of the goods.

La présente invention a pour objet un ensemble pour le transport, le stockage et la distribution des objets du type bouteilles, flacons, bocaux et analogues, caractérisé en ce qu'il est constitué d'une palette de transport standard ordinaire appelée palette principale et au noins deux palettes se- oondaires de stockage et de manipulation, chacune destites palettes secondaires étant munie d'au moins une rangée de pieds ou supports placée en retrait par rapport au bord de la palette et d'une housse unique en matière plastique rétractable à chaud. La surface supérieure de ladite housse comporte des zones d'enfoncement et de maintien placées au niveau de séparation des palettes secondaires.The present invention relates to an assembly for the transport, storage and distribution of objects of the type bottles, flasks, jars and the like, characterized in that it consists of an ordinary standard transport pallet called main pallet and ness two secondary pallets for storage and handling, each intended for secondary pallets being provided with at least one row of feet or supports placed back from the edge of the pallet and with a single cover made of heat shrinkable plastic . The upper surface of said cover comprises insertion and holding zones placed at the level of separation of the secondary pallets.

Ce dispositif permet après le rétrécissement de la housse de maintenir d'une manière parfaitement ferme chacune des palettes secondaires avec leur chargement respectif empilé sur celles-ci, même après la séparation des différentes palettes secondaires sur le lieu de distribution.This device allows after shrinking the cover to maintain a perfectly firm cha one of the secondary pallets with their respective load stacked thereon, even after the separation of the different secondary pallets at the place of distribution.

En effet, la housse rétractée maintient les chargements à la partie inférieure en adhérant à la surface intérieure de la palette secondaire située entre le bord et la rangée de pieds en retrait et elle maintient les chargements à la partie supérieure grâce à la zone d'enfoncement placée précisément au niveau de séparation desdites palettes secondaires.Indeed, the retracted cover keeps the loads at the bottom by adhering to the inner surface of the secondary pallet located between the edge and the set back legs and it keeps the loads at the top thanks to the recess area placed precisely at the separation level of said secondary pallets.

Selon un mode de réalisation avantageux de l'objet de la présente invention, la rangée de pieds (ou supports) de la palette secondaire placée en retrait se trouve à une distance d'environ 2 à 15 cm du bord de ladite palette.According to an advantageous embodiment of the object of the present invention, the row of feet (or supports) of the secondary pallet set back is at a distance of about 2 to 15 cm from the edge of said pallet.

Selon un autre mode de réalisation avantageux de l'objet de la présente invention, la zone d'enfoncement et de maintien s'étend sur la longueur totale de la palette secondaire sans solution de continuité tout le long de la séparation des deux palettes secondaires consécutives.According to another advantageous embodiment of the object of the present invention, the driving-in and holding area extends over the total length of the secondary pallet with no solution of continuity all along the separation of the two consecutive secondary pallets .

Selon une autre modalité de l'invention, la zone d'enfoncement et de maintien est formée d'une pluralité de zones séparées toutes situées au niveau de séparation des deux palettes secondaires.According to another embodiment of the invention, the insertion and holding zone is formed of a plurality of separate zones all situated at the level of separation of the two secondary pallets.

Selon encore un autre mode de réalisation avantageux de l'objet de la présente invention, la housse est fixée par agraffage, collage ou analogue à la palette secondaire à l'endroit proche de la jonction desdites palettes secondaires entre elles.According to yet another advantageous embodiment of the object of the present invention, the cover is fixed by stapling, gluing or the like to the secondary pallet at the location close to the junction of said secondary pallets between them.

La présente invention a également pour objet un procédé de fabrication de l'ensemble conforme à la présente invention, lequel procédé se caractérise en ce que l'on dispose les palettes secondaires sur la palette principale standard de manière à ce que la rangée de pieds (ou supports) en retrait par rapport au bord de la palette, soit située ; également près du bord de la palette principale, en ce qu'on empile les bacs ou analogues contenant les produits à distribuer sur les palettes secondaires, en ce que l'on enveloppe l'ensemble de palettes secondaires avec leurs chargements par une housse unique en matière plastique rétractable à chaud, en ce que l'on place les bords de la housse sous les palettes secondaires sur la surface délimitée par le bord et la rangée de pieds (ou supports) en retrait , en ce que l'on forme les zones d'enfoncement et de maintien en appliquant une - ou une pluralité - de forces sur la surface supé2àeure plane de la housse aux endroits précis de séparation des palettes secondaires pendant le chauffage (dans la machine ou four à emballer) destiné à rétracter la housse.The present invention also relates to a method of manufacturing the assembly according to the present invention, which method is characterized in that the secondary pallets are placed on the standard main pallet so that the row of feet ( or supports) set back from the edge of the pallet, either located; also near the edge of the main pallet, in that the bins or the like containing the products to be stacked distribute on the secondary pallets, in that the set of secondary pallets with their loads is enveloped by a single cover made of heat shrinkable plastic, in that the edges of the cover are placed under the secondary pallets on the surface delimited by the recessed edge and the row of feet (or supports), in that the depressing and holding zones are formed by applying one - or a plurality - of forces on the upper flat surface of the cover at the precise locations of separation of the secondary pallets during heating (in the packaging machine or oven) intended to retract the cover.

Ces zones d'enfoncement et de maintien ainsi formées restent repliées même après la découpe de la matière plastique formant la housse nécessaire pour séparer les palettes secondaires et leur chargement en vue de leur transport sur les lieux de vente et de distribution.These penetration and holding zones thus formed remain folded even after cutting the plastic material forming the cover necessary to separate the secondary pallets and their loading for transport to the places of sale and distribution.

Outre les dispositions qui précèdent, l'invention comprend encore d'autres dispositions, qui ressortiront de la description qui va suivre.In addition to the foregoing provisions, the invention also comprises other provisions, which will emerge from the description which follows.

L'invention vise plus particulièrement un dispositif et un ensemble pour le transport, le stockage, la manipulation et la distribution d'objets tels que bouteilles, flacons, bocaux et analogues, conforme aux dispositions qui précèdent, ainsi que les moyens propres à leur fabrication et à leur mise en oeuvre, ainsi que les installations dans lesquelles sont inclus lesdits système et procédé.The invention relates more particularly to a device and an assembly for the transport, storage, handling and distribution of objects such as bottles, flasks, jars and the like, in accordance with the above provisions, as well as the means specific to their manufacture and their implementation, as well as the installations in which said system and method are included.

Chaque palette secondaire 2 conforme à la présente invention représentée à titre d'exemple non limitatif aux dessins, comprend une rangée de pieds 5 en retrait par rapport au bord 3. On forme ainsi une surface 4 contre laquelle viendra adhérer la housse en matière plastique. La figure 1 représente deux palettes secondaires 2 posées sur la palette principale standard 1. Les deux palettes secondaires se joignent en 3a, la rangée de pieds 5a étant fixée au bord même de la palette secondaire. Les bacs 6 contenant par exemple des bouteilles sont chargés sur chacune des palettes secordaires 2 (cf Fig. 2) puis les deux palettes secondaires placées de manière à ce que les deux rangées de pieds 5 soient tournées vers l'extérieur sont recouvertes par la housse 7 en matière plastique rétractable. Les bords 8 de la housse sont placés de manière à recouvrir la surface 4 délimitée par les bords 3 et la rangée de pieds 5. Sur la surface supérieure 13 de la housse 7 (cf. Fig. 3), on forme la future zone d'enfoncement et de maintien en posant par exemple une barre 9 en acier à l'endroit précis correspondant à la séparation des deux palettes secondaires 2. On fixe, si on le désire la housse par exemple par une agraffe 10 sur le bord de la palette secondaire.Each secondary pallet 2 in accordance with the present invention shown by way of non-limiting example in the drawings, comprises a row of feet 5 set back relative to the edge 3. A surface 4 is thus formed against which the plastic cover will adhere. FIG. 1 represents two secondary pallets 2 placed on the standard main pallet 1. The two secondary pallets join at 3a, the row of feet 5a being fixed to the very edge of the secondary pallet. The bins 6 containing, for example bottles, are loaded on each of the secondary pallets 2 (see Fig. 2) then the two secondary pallets placed so that the two rows of feet 5 are facing outwards are covered by the cover 7 in shrink plastic. The edges 8 of the cover are placed so as to cover the surface 4 delimited by the edges 3 and the row of feet 5. On the upper surface 13 of the cover 7 (cf. FIG. 3), the future area d is formed. sinking and holding, for example by placing a steel bar 9 at the precise location corresponding to the separation of the two secondary pallets 2. The cover is fixed, if desired, for example by a staple 10 on the edge of the pallet secondary.

La figure 4 représente l'ensemble conforme à la présente invention après la rétractation de la housseé 7. A l'endroit ou était posée la barre 9 s'est formée la zone d'enfoncement 11. Cette zone de maintien 11 est repliée et ; maintient le chargement de chacune des palettes 2, même après la séparation des différentes palettes secondaires 2 obtenue par découpe de la housse 7 suivant la ligne 12 qui sépare entre elles les palettes secondaires 2 avec leur chargement de bacs 6.Figure 4 shows the assembly according to the present invention after the retraction of the cover 7. At the place where the bar 9 was placed, the driving-in area 11. This holding area 11 is folded and; maintains the loading of each pallet 2, even after the separation of the different secondary pallets 2 obtained by cutting the cover 7 along line 12 which separates the secondary pallets 2 with their loading of trays 6.

Ainsi que cela ressort de ce qui précède, l'invention ne se limite nullement à ceux de ses modes de réalisation et d'application qui viennent d'être décrits de façon plus explicite ; elle en embrasse au contraire toutes les variantes qui peuvent venir à l'esprit du technicien en la matière, sans s'écarter du cadre, ni de la portée, de la présente invention.As is apparent from the above, the invention is in no way limited to those of its embodiments and of application which have just been described more explicitly; on the contrary, it embraces all the variants which may come to the mind of the technician in the matter, without departing from the framework, or the scope, of the present invention.
