Description

  • La présente invention a trait à un outil de transport normalisé comportant une surface de support rectangulaire ayant des dimensions normalisées ainsi que des poutrelles de support d'une dimension correspondant à une dimension de la surface de support et disposées en-dessous de la surface de support.
  • Un outil de transport normalisé selon les caractéristiques telles qu'indiquées dans le préambule de la revendication 1 est connu du document FR-A-2 370 646.
  • Sont couramment utilisées aujourd'hui des palettes de transport dites europalettes de dimensions normalisées telles que 80 cm de largeur et 120 cm de longueur comportant une surface de chargement et des poutrelles arrangées en-dessous de cette surface, l'ensemble étant couramment fabriqué en planches et en poutres en bois qui sont clouées ensemble.
  • Ce système de palettes est relativement lourd et inflexible quant au stockage et à l'assemblage, et le but de la présente invention est donc de remédier à ces inconvénients et de prévoir notamment un système de palettes qui comporte les avantages suivants :
    • 1. le montage de la palette devrait être possible d'une façon rapide sans outils spéciaux ;
    • 2. la palette devrait comporter la possibilité d'être montée sur tout support ;
    • 3. le démontage devrait se faire également de façon rapide ;
    • 4. il devrait être facile de récupérer des pièces de l'ensemble pour une nouvelle utilisation ;
    • 5. on cherche la possibilité de stocker les palettes avant usage dans un minimum d'espace, et surtout les palettes doivent présenter un poids réduit par rapport aux palettes traditionnelles pour permettre la réalisation d'économies de frais de transport notamment de frais de transport aérien sans ugmenter sensiblement leur coût. Le coût de fabrication de ces palettes devrait, au contraire, être suffisamment bas pour permettre de ne les utiliser qu'une fois.
  • Selon l'invention ces objectifs sont atteints avec un outil comme mentionné ci-dessus qui est en outre caractérisé par les caractéristiques indiquées dans la seconde partie de la revendication 1.
  • Des formes de réalisations particulières de construction de l'outil de transport sont définies par les caractéristiques indiquées dans les révendications dépendantes.
  • La présente invention sera décrite par la suite en référence aux dessins dont :
    • la figure 1 monte un outil de transport selon la présente invention dans un état semi-assemblé,
    • la figure 2 montre une partie d'une poutrelle pour illustrer le verrouillage de l'écrou,
    • la figure 3 montre une autre forme de réalisation de l'invention, et
    • la figure 4 montre un détail agrandi de la figure 3.
  • Dans la figure 1, on a illustré une palette de transport 1 comportant une plaque de support 2 ainsi que trois poutrelles 3a, 3b, 3c. Les poutrelles sont fixées en-dessous de la plaque 2 au moyen d'une pluralité d'écrous 5, qui comportent une plaque de retenue 11 et une partie cylindrique 12. Les écrous 5 sont introduits par leur partie cylindrique 12 dans des ouvertures 6 dans la plaque de support 2 jusqu'à ce que la plaque de retenue 11 vienne en contact avec la surface supérieure de la plaque de support 2.
  • Les poutrelles 3a, 3b et 3c comportent chacune une planche supérieure 8 qui comporte trois ouvertures 7 qui sont positionnées de façon à correspondre avec les ouvertures 6 de la plaque de support 2 une fois que la poutrelle correspondante est positionnée en-dessous de la plaque de support 2 en sa position prédestinée.
  • Les ouvertures 6 et 7 comportent une forme géométrique qui permet l'introduction de la partie cylindrique 12 de l'ergot, partie cylindrique qui comporte deux ergots radiaux qui doivent passer par les trous 6 et 7 et ces derniers ont donc une forme qui permet le passage des ergots.
  • Les deux planches parallèles 8 et 9 de chaque poutrelle sont tenues à distance l'une de l'autre par une pluralité d'entretoises 10.
  • La figure 2 montre, plus en détail, la fixation de l'écrou 5 dans la planche supérieure 8 d'une poutrelle 3, et on reconnait dans la planche supérieure de la poutrelle l'ouverture 7 comportant une partie circulaire centrale ainsi que deux évidements 15a et 15b qui permettent le passage des ergots 13a et 13b lors de l'introduction de l'écrou 5 dans l'ouverture 7.
  • Une fois que les ergots ont passé par l'ouverture 7, l'écrou est soumis à une rotation d'un quart de tour, rotation lors de laquelle les ergots 13a et 13b glissent le long des rampes 14 pour finalement tomber dans des encoches 16, où ils sont essentiellement immobilisés contre toute autre rotation. La paroi entre la rampe 14 et l'encoche 16 peut être formée également en rampe d'un sens contraire au sens de la rampe 16 pour permettre la libération de l'écrou par une rotation dans le sens inverse. Cette forme de réalisation s'impose notamment pour des palettes que l'on veut démonter entre leurs utilisations, ou simplement si on souhaite un démontage facile.
  • Selon une autre forme de réalisation de l'invention, illustrée en figure 3, la palette 1 comporte trois poutrelles 3' longitudinales et un nombre de traverses 20 en forme de planches qui sont reliées chacune à chacune des poutrelles par un moyen de fixation 5' rapide, tel que l'écrou à quart de tour décrit ci-dessus. Le nombre de traverses 20 peut, bien sûr, être choisi en fonction de l'utilisation d'une palette, étant entendu qu'au moins deux traverses devraient être présentes pour stabiliser la palette.
  • On a prévu un moyen de stabilisation empêchant le cisaillement des traverses 20 par rapport aux poutrelles 3', ledit moyen de stabilisation pouvant être incorporé par des ergots 22 qui saillissent soit des traverses 20 ou des poutrelles 3' pour se loger dans des trous 23 prévus à cet effet dans l'autre de ces deux éléments.
  • Un tel moyen de stabilisation crée au moins un second point d'attache au niveau de chaque intersection d'une traverse avec une poutrelle afin de supprimer un pivotement entre les deux éléments. La forme choisie pour ce moyen de stabilisation peut, bien sûr, être autre qu'un ergot, notamment une nervure qui se loge dans une rainure ou similaire.
  • La palette selon l'invention peut en outre comporter un moyen de serrage incorporé pour la charge à transporter.
  • Un tel moyen de serrage peut comprendre une première sangle 24 du type crémaillère et une seconde sangle 25 comportant un élément de blocage 26 permettant de tirer la sangle dans une direction au travers d'un orifice de l'élément de blocage et de la bloquer dans le sens opposé.
  • On peut, bien sûr, également prévoir une solution où les deux sangles sont identiques et l'élément de blocage est indépendant et permet le passage des deux extrémités des deux sangles au travers de deux orifices.
  • De préférence deux sangles 24, 25 sont prévues d'un côté et de l'autre de chaque poutrelle 3, 3' et à des endroits à choisir.
  • La disposition des sangles 24, 25 en figure 3 est donnée à titre d'exemple seulement. On peut également prévoir de fixer les sangles aux traverses 20, leur disposition aux poutrelles semble cependant plus avantageuse car on peut prévoir à l'intérieur du volume des poutrelles une chambre 27 dans laquelle se trouve la sangle enroulée 28 dont l'extrémité 24a sort de la chambre 27 par un orifice 29. L'autre extrémité de la sangle 24 est calée à l'intérieur de la chambre 27.
  • Les poutrelles selon la présente invention sont fabriquées en un matériau plastique injecté, et les écrous, ainsi que la plaque de support peuvent être en un matériau quelconque y compris en plastique injecté.
