Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine einteilige zusammenlegbare quaderförmige Transportpalette, bestehend aus Bodenteil, vier Seitenwänden und aufstülpbarem Deckelteil.The invention relates to a one-piece collapsible cuboid transport pallet, consisting of a base part, four side walls and a cover part that can be put on.

Transportbehälter der oben genannten gattungsmäßigen Art sind in zahlreichen Ausführungen bekannt, beschrieben beispielsweise in der US-PS 4 684 034 sowie der EP 0 236 652. Sie bestehen in vielen Fällen aus Karton und sind ohne weiteres zum Transport leichterer oder kleinerer Güter geeignet.Transport containers of the generic type mentioned above are known in numerous designs, described for example in US Pat. No. 4,684,034 and EP 0 236 652. In many cases they consist of cardboard and are readily suitable for transporting lighter or smaller goods.

Die EP-A 0 236 652 beschreibt eine einteilige zusammenlegbare quaderförmige Transportpalette, bestehend aus Bodenteil, vier Seitenwänden und einem Deckelteil, die folgende Merkmale aufweist:

  • Eine Kante des Bodenteils ist über zwei Rillungen mit dazwischenliegenden Stegen mit einer Kante der Seitenwand verbunden
  • die beiden Rillungen und Stege liegen so einander gegenüber, daß das Bodenteil mit der Seitenwand verbunden ist
  • die beiden anderen nicht direkt mit dem Bodenteil verbundenen Seitenwände sind über je eine senkrecht zum Boden- beziehungsweise Deckelteil stehende Faltlinie, welche symmetrisch zu den Seitenteilen der Seitenwände angeordnet sind, faltbar, wobei die Transportpalette aus Karton besteht und im zusammengefalteten Zustand nicht wesentlich dicker ist als die Summe der Dicken von Bodenteil, Deckelteil und dem Vierfachen der Seitenteile.
EP-A 0 236 652 describes a one-piece collapsible cuboid transport pallet consisting of a base part, four side walls and a cover part, which has the following features:
  • One edge of the base part is connected to an edge of the side wall by means of two grooves with webs in between
  • the two creases and webs face each other so that the bottom part is connected to the side wall
  • the other two side walls not directly connected to the bottom part can be folded over a fold line that is perpendicular to the bottom or top part, which are arranged symmetrically to the side parts of the side walls, the transport pallet being made of cardboard and, when folded, is not much thicker than the sum of the thicknesses of the base part, cover part and four times the side parts.

Schwerere Güter werden in massiven Paletten, bestehend aus Holz oder Metall verpackt, was einen hohen Aufwand an Verpackungsgewicht erfordert und den Rücktransport unrationell macht, oder aber die Güter werden in kleineren Einheiten einzeln verpackt und mehrere Kartons auf einer Palette gestapelt zum Transport gebracht. Auch dies bedeutet beim Verpacken, Entpacken und eventuellem Rückversand einen hohen Aufwand an Material, Zeit und Kosten.Heavier goods are packed in massive pallets consisting of wood or metal, which requires a lot of packing weight and makes the return transport inefficient, or the goods are packed individually in smaller units and several boxes stacked on a pallet are brought for transport. This also means a lot of material, time and costs when it comes to packing, unpacking and possible return shipping.

Weitere Nachteile bekannter Verpackungen sind ungünstige Dimensionierung im zusammengelegten Zustand, so daß sie zum Rücktransport beispielsweise nicht auf Euro-Paletten gestapelt werden können oder die Notwendigkeit, Hilfsmittel wie Klebeband zur stabilen Verpackung beziehungsweise zum Transport zu verwenden.Other disadvantages of known packaging are unfavorable dimensions in the collapsed state, so that they cannot be stacked on Euro pallets for return transport, for example, or the need to use aids such as adhesive tape for stable packaging or for transport.

Deshalb bestand die Aufgabe, eine Palette der eingangs genannten Art zu finden, welche nicht die oben genannten Nachteile aufweist.Therefore, there was the task of a range of the above To find a type that does not have the disadvantages mentioned above.

Neuerungsgemäß wurde die Aufgabe gelöst mit einer zusammenlegbaren Transportpalette mit den im kennzeichnenden Teil des Anspruchs 1 genannten Merkmalen. Weitere Einzelheiten der Neuerung gehen aus den Unteransprüchen, der Beschreibung und den Zeichnungen hervor. Die Neuerung wird nun anhand von Zeichnungen näher erläutert und zwar zeigen

Figur 1 bis 3
die Palette im mehr oder weniger zusammengelegten Zustand
Figur 4
die Palette im mehr oder weniger aufgerichteten Zustand.
According to the invention, the object was achieved with a collapsible transport pallet with the features mentioned in the characterizing part of claim 1. Further details of the innovation emerge from the subclaims, the description and the drawings. The innovation will now be explained in more detail with the aid of drawings, which show
Figure 1 to 3
the pallet in a more or less folded condition
Figure 4
the pallet in a more or less erect state.

Die neuerungsgemäße Transportpalette (Figur 4) besteht aus Karton und ist zusammengesetzt aus einem rechteckigen Bodenteil (1) sowie einem Deckelteil (3), welche jeweils an drei Seiten Borde (5, 6) besitzen. Die Seitenwände (2, 2′, 2′′, 2′′′) sind derart mit dem Boden- und Deckelteil verbunden, daß die untere Längskante (7) der Seitenwand (2), welche nicht aufgebordet ist, gemäß Figur 3 über einen Steg (12) sowie zwei Rillungen (9, 9′) mit dem Bodenteil verbunden ist und daß die der Seitenwand (2) gegenüberliegende Seitenwand (2′) an ihrer Oberkante (8) ebenfalls über einen entsprechenden Steg und Rillungen an dem Deckelteil hängt. Die zwischen den Längsseitenwänden (2 und 2′) liegenden Quer-Seitenwände (2′′, 2′′′) sind über in ihrer Mitte senkrecht angeordnete Rillungen (11, 11′) einklappbar. Die mit dem Bodenteil verbundene Längswand (2) kann an ihrer Oberseite eine aufklappbare Ladeklappe (13) aufweisen.The transport pallet according to the invention (FIG. 4) consists of cardboard and is composed of a rectangular base part (1) and a cover part (3), each of which has shelves (5, 6) on three sides. The side walls (2, 2 ', 2'',2''') are connected to the base and cover part in such a way that the lower longitudinal edge (7) of the side wall (2), which is not boarded, according to FIG Web (12) and two creases (9, 9 ') is connected to the bottom part and that the side wall (2) opposite the side wall (2') on its upper edge (8) also hangs over a corresponding web and creases on the cover part. The transverse side walls (2 '', 2 ''') lying between the longitudinal side walls (2 and 2') can be folded in via grooves (11, 11 ') arranged vertically in their center. The longitudinal wall (2) connected to the base part can have a hinged loading flap (13) on its upper side.

Die Dimensionen des Boden- und Deckelteiles entsprechen vorzugsweise der Euro-Paletten-Norm (80 x 120 cm). Zum Beladen wird das Bodenteil zweckmäßigerweise auf einen Palettenboden (Figur 4), der in den meisten Fällen aus Holz besteht, abgelegt, worauf die Palette aufgefaltet wird, was durch den geschilderten Aufbau außerordentlich leicht durch eine Person handhabbar ist. Die Seitenwände (2˝, 2′′′) bekommen durch die Borde (5) einen Halt nach außen, da sie im aufgebordeten Bodenteil eingestülpt sind. Nach vollständigem Beladen wird die Ladeklappe eingeklappt und der Deckel aufgestülpt.The dimensions of the base and lid part preferably correspond to the Euro pallet standard (80 x 120 cm). For loading, the bottom part is expediently placed on a pallet floor (FIG. 4), which in most cases consists of wood, on which the pallet is unfolded, which is extremely easy to handle by one person due to the structure described. The side walls (2˝, 2 '' ') get a hold to the outside by the shelves (5), since they are turned over in the shelf part. After loading is complete, the loading flap is folded in and the lid is put on.

Zum Rücktransport kann die Palette ebenso einfach zusammengefaltet werden (Figuren 2 bis 4), wobei sie im zusammengefalteten Zustand eine Dicke einnimmt, die kaum größer als die Summe der Dicken von Bodenteil, Deckelteil sowie dem Vierfachen der Seitenteile ist (Figur 1). Zweckmäßigerweise werden mehrere der aufeinandergestapelten zusammengefalteten Paletten gemeinsam auf einem Euro-Paletten-Boden transportiert.The pallet can also be simply folded up for return transport (FIGS. 2 to 4), whereby in the folded state it assumes a thickness that is hardly greater than the sum of the thicknesses of the base part, cover part and four times the side parts (FIG. 1). Appropriately, several of the stacked, folded pallets are transported together on a euro pallet floor.

Die Vorteile, die mit der neuerungsgemäßen Palette erzielt werden, lassen sich wie folgt zusammenfassen:

  • Material-, Volumen- und Gewichtseinsparung beim Transport.
  • Wiederholte Verwendbarkeit gegeben, da die Rücklieferung im geschlossenen Zustand stoßgeschützt erfolgt.
  • Leichtes und zeitgünstiges Ver- und Entpacken ohne Hilfsmittel.
  • Bessere Lagerhaltung.
  • Rationelle Verwendung beim Transport wegen Euro-Paletten-Norm.
The advantages that can be achieved with the range according to the innovation can be summarized as follows:
  • Material, volume and weight savings during transport.
  • Repeated usability given that the return delivery is shock-proof when closed.
  • Easy and inexpensive packing and unpacking without tools.
  • Better warehousing.
  • Efficient use during transport due to the Euro pallet standard.

Wenn die Rillungen (9, 10) in Trennlinien umgewandelt werden, wird aus den Stegen (12, 12′) ein Bord für die jeweils vierte Kante des Boden- beziehungsweise Deckelteils, so daß die Palette auf diese Weise zwei- oder dreiteilig statt einteilig ausgestaltet sein kann. Dabei werden die oben ausgeführten Vorteile erhalten und die Raumform wird nicht verändert.If the creases (9, 10) are converted into dividing lines, from the webs (12, 12 ') a board for the fourth edge of the base or cover part, so that the pallet is designed in two or three parts instead of one part can be. The advantages outlined above are retained and the spatial shape is not changed.

Claims (3)

  1. A one-part collapsible right-parallelepipedal transport pallet consisting of cardboard, which comprises a bottom part, four side walls and a top part, one edge of the bottom part being joined to one edge of the side walls by means of two scores with webs lying inbetween, and the two other side walls, not directly joined to the bottom part, being foldable in each case by means of a folding line, which is perpendicular to the bottom part or top part, respectively, and is arranged symmetrically with respect to the side parts of the side walls, wherein
    - in each case three edges of the bottom part (1) and of the top part (3) of the pallet are bordered (5, 6), the edges of the borders (5, 6) butting against one another in the collapsed state of the pallet, so that the pallet lies flat
    - the two scores and webs (9, 12, 9' and 10, 12', 10', respectively) of bottom part and top part are opposite each other in such a way that the bottom part (1) is joined to one side wall (2) and the top part (3) is joined to the opposite side wall (2').
  2. A transport pallet as claimed in claim 1, which consists of cardboard and, in the collapsed state, is not significantly thicker than the sum of the thicknesses of bottom part, top part and four times the side part.
