Definitions
- the present invention relates to a two-level pallet-holder container for transporting merchandize, the container being of the type that, having standard measurements, can be transported by sea, rail or highway, and all of the surfaces thereof are closed.
- certain containers have on their bottom two pairs of guides on which the respective shoes are located on which the pallet is placed with the goods stacked on it, in order to subsequently push it with the minimum effort towards the inside, the pallets remaining abutted to each other, taking up the entire space thereof.
- the container has 50% of its capacity taken up, whereby transportation becomes considerably more expensive, since for a certain amount of goods to be transported twice as many trips have to be made than if the container were 100% full.
- GB-A-2 223 742 discloses a container according to the preamble of claim 1 of the present application
- the present invention as claimed consists in a two-level pallet-holder container of the type that is used to transport merchandise, with all the surfaces thereof closed and with an intermediate bottom, and that, having some standard measurements, can be transported by sea, railroad or highway.
- the invention is characterized in that the container has a false intermediate bottom, formed by two pairs of brackets and, each bracket having a guide for pallet shoes, said brackets defining two top compartments and, a first pair of the brackets being integral to the side walls of the container and a second pair of the brackets being supported by a vertical plate positioned on the bottom of the container in a center longitudinal position, said vertical plate defining two bottom compartments and, each bottom compartment also having two guides for pallet shoes.
- the improvements introduced in containers for transporting merchandize that are described in the present specification are based on including a false intermediate bottom, in the container, with which four compartments can be defined.
- the false intermediate bottom is formed by some longitudinal strips or brackets in which some guide-type recesses are defined, in which the corresponding shoes will be located to facilitate displacement of the pallets, placed on them, towards the inside of the container.
- the loading and unloading of the container can be done by means of the known trolleys or "bull-type" lifting devices that will enter the container itself to deposit the pallets on the corresponding brackets, not using shoes in this case.
- Figure 1 shows a front raised view of the container, in which the false intermediate bottom is observed, comprised by the two pairs of brackets, with their respective guides, as well as the two pairs of guides likewise existing in the bottom of the container, defining four compartments or hollow spaces for abutting the successive pallets located in them.
- Figure 2 shows a plan view of the false intermediate bottom of the container, in which the two pairs of brackets, upon whose guides the shows will move with the corresponding pallets, with the goods stacked thereon, are observed.
- a plate (5) that defines the two bottom compartments (9) and (10) has been provided for.
- the plate is very thin so that the pallets of both contiguous compartments can fit perfectly and so that it can in turn act as a guide for the goods placed on the pallets.
- the plate (5) must be thin given that the measurements of the container and of the pallets are standard and adapt to the width of the container.
- the false intermediate bottom is formed by a pair center strips or brackets (14) abutted against and integral with the bottom plate (5) and a pair of side strips or brackets (13), so that each one of the side strips with their corresponding center strip defines a top compartment (11) and (12), upon being provided with some guides (7) and (8) along with respective shoes upon which the pallets have been placed with the goods placed in them, move.
- the conventional shoes upon which the pallets will move can be substituted upon providing some bearings that likewise permit the displacement of the pallets by simple pushing in a simple and convenient way in the guides of the different compartments.
- brackets (13-14) permits the conventional trolleys or "bull-type” lifting devices to enter the "passages" facilitating loading and unloading through them.
- the trolley can enter the container along the passages (6) to leave the pallets on the corresponding brackets, that form the false intermediate bottom.
