Abstract

The part-pallet has laterally protruding support-tongues (3) at least on its set-back legs (2). When the part-pallets are stacked on top of one another, the support tongues preferably fit into a groove (10) near the recesses (5). The tongues protrude towards the adjacent narrow side edge of the part-pallet and the legs preferably taper conically downwards. The legs define a base area with a critical lengthwise size of upwards of 50mm, preferably 60mm.

Description

Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Teilpalette, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Patentanspruches 1.The invention relates to a partial range, according to the preamble of claim 1.

Für den Transport von Gegenständen, insbesondere Flaschenkästen, Kartons und dgl. werden üblicherweise Paletten mit Standardabmessungen, überwiegend Abmessungen von 800 x 1200 mm verwendet. Die Paletten sind zumeist aus Holz gefertigt, wobei auf zwei Querblöcken längsverlaufend Bretter aufgenagelt oder sonstwie befestigt sind. Die längsverlaufenden Bretter weisen voneinander einen Abstand auf und bilden zwischen sich Spalte, die im allgemeinen eine maximale Spaltbreit von 40 bis 45 mm nicht überschreiten. Paletten in den Standardabmessungen haben jedoch eine Größe, daß der Transport unter räumlich beengten Verhältnissen, etwa in Geschäften, Lagern und dgl. außerordentlich schwierig ist.Pallets with standard dimensions, predominantly dimensions of 800 x 1200 mm, are usually used for the transport of objects, in particular bottle crates, boxes and the like. The pallets are mostly made of wood, with boards being nailed or otherwise fastened to two transverse blocks. The longitudinal boards are spaced apart from one another and form gaps between them, which generally do not exceed a maximum gap width of 40 to 45 mm. However, pallets in the standard dimensions have a size that the transportation under spatially restricted conditions, for example in shops, warehouses and the like, is extremely difficult.

Aus dem Dokument EP-A-183 600 ist eine Teilpalette bekannt, die einen n-ten Teil der Standard- palette bildet, ausgestattet mit einer Anordnung von Stützfüßen, die in bezug auf die Kante der Palette 2 zurückversetzt platziert sind. Hierbei ist es als nachteilig anzusehen, daß das Dokument keine Angabe zur Anordnung und Ausführung der Stützfüße macht, damit sowohl ein broblemloses Untergreifen durch Gabelstaplterzinken als auch die Stapelbarkeit der Paletten im unbeladenen Zustand für z.B. den Rücktransport gewährleistet werden kann.A partial pallet is known from document EP-A-183 600, which forms an nth part of the standard pallet, equipped with an arrangement of support feet which are placed set back with respect to the edge of the pallet 2. It is to be regarded as a disadvantage that the document does not provide any information on the arrangement and design of the support feet, so that both a problem-free reach under by forklift tines and the stackability of the pallets in the unloaded state for e.g. the return transport can be guaranteed.

Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es, eine Palette zu schaffen, die nach Entleerung einen Rücktransport in platzgünstiger Weise ermöglicht und sich auch für die Handhabung kleinerer Transportguteinheiten eignet, und die kippsicher ist.The object of the invention is to provide a pallet which, after emptying, enables return transport in a space-saving manner and is also suitable for handling smaller transport goods units, and which is tip-proof.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die in dem kennzeichnenden Teil des Patentanspruches 1 enthaltenen Merkmale gelöst, wobei zweckmäßige Weiterbildung der Erfindung durch die in den Unteransprüchen angegebenen Merkmale gekennzeichnet sind.This object is achieved according to the invention by the features contained in the characterizing part of patent claim 1, expedient further development of the invention being characterized by the features specified in the subclaims.

Im einzelnen handelt es sich bei der Erfindung um eine Teilpalette, die nur einen Teil der Grundfläche einer Standardpalette ausmacht und mit anderen entsprechenden Teilpaletten die Grundfläche der Standard-Palette ausfüllt bzw. sich zur Standardpalette ergänzt. Bevorzugt werden Ein/Viertel-Paletten mit einer Viertel-Abmessung der Grundfläche der Standardpalette verwendet. Daneben sind jedoch auch andere Abmessungen der Teilpalette, welche z.B. 1/2, 1/6 oder 1/8 der Grundfläche der Standardpalette entsprechen, denkbar und zweckmäßig.In detail, the invention is a partial pallet that only makes up part of the base area of a standard pallet and fills the base area of the standard pallet with other corresponding partial pallets or complements the standard range. One / quarter pallets with a quarter dimension of the base area of the standard pallet are preferably used. However, there are also other dimensions of the sub-range, which e.g. 1/2, 1/6 or 1/8 of the base of the standard range correspond, conceivable and expedient.

Die derartig dimensionierten Teilpaletten weisen an ihrer Unterseite vorzugsweise vier Stützfüße auf. Zwei dieser Stützfüße sind hierbei an den Ecken der Schmalseite der Palette angeordnet. Die zwei gegenüberliegenden Stützfüße sind gegenüber den Eckbereichen der Schmalseite der Palette nach innen zurückgesetzt, wobei sie jedoch randseitig im Bereich der Längsseite der Teilpalette angeordnet sind. Diese Anordnung der Stützfüße ist insbesondere deswegen vorteilhaft, weil dadurch das Untergreifen mittels aller üblichen Gapelstapler in verschiedenen Lagen und Richtungen begünstigt wird.The partial pallets dimensioned in this way preferably have four support feet on their underside. Two of these support feet are arranged at the corners of the narrow side of the pallet. The two opposite support feet are set back inwards in relation to the corner areas of the narrow side of the pallet, but are arranged on the edge side in the area of the long side of the partial pallet. This arrangement of the support feet is particularly advantageous because it favors reaching under in all positions and directions by means of all conventional forklift trucks.

Um ein möglichst geringes Transportvolumen von leeren Teilpaletten durch Stapelung derselben zu ermöglichen, sind die Stützfüße vorzugsweise hohl ausgebildet. Werden Teilpaletten übereinandergelegt, so greifen die Stützfüße ineinander, wodurch sich ein entsprechend verringertes Volumen ergibt und sich auch das Handling leerer Paletten erleichtert. Die Füße können hierbei ein rechteckiges-, quadratisches-, kreisrundes-, oder auch ein elliptisches Profil aufweisen. Im Fall von eckigen Profilen sind zweckmäßigerweise die Kanten gerundet, um dadurch eine Zentrierung beim Stapeln oder beim Untergreifen durch einen Gabelstapler zu ermöglichen. An der Oberseite der Palette sind in Ausrichtung mit den Stützfüßen entsprechende Ausnehmungen angeordnet, welche komplementär zu den Stützfüßen ausgebildet sind, womit ein Eingreifen der Stützfüße einer darübergestapelten Teilpalette in diese Ausnehmungen möglich ist.In order to enable the smallest possible transport volume of empty partial pallets by stacking them, the support feet are preferably hollow. If partial pallets are placed on top of one another, the support feet interlock, which results in a correspondingly reduced volume and also makes handling of empty pallets easier. The feet can have a rectangular, square, circular, or even an elliptical profile. In the case of angular profiles, the edges are expediently rounded in order to allow centering when stacking or when reaching under by a forklift. On the top of the pallet, corresponding recesses are arranged in alignment with the support feet, which are complementary to the support feet, whereby an engagement of the support feet of a stacked partial pallet is possible in these recesses.

An exzentrischen oder zurückgesetzt angeordneten Stützfüßen sind Stützen, insbesondere seitlich vorstehende Stützzungen angeordnet. Diese Stützzungen gewährleisten einen besonders kippsicheren Stand der Palette. Um eine Stapelbarkeit zu gewährleisten, ist es notwendig, im Bereich der Aufnahmeöffnung für das Eintauchen der Stützzungen eine entsprechende Einfahrnut vorzusehen.Supports, in particular laterally projecting support tongues, are arranged on eccentric or recessed support feet. These support tongues ensure that the pallet is stable against tipping over. In order to ensure stackability, it is necessary to provide a corresponding insertion groove in the area of the receiving opening for immersing the support tongues.

In einer weiteren vorteilhaften Ausgestaltung sind auf der Palettenfläche Öffnungen vorgesehen, die ein Abfließen von Regen- oder Waschwasser ermöglichen und ferner zur Befestigung von auf der Palette untergebrachtem Transportgut, etwa Kartons oder dergleichen dienen. In diesem Zusammenhang können derartige Durchgangsöffnungen auch im Bereich der Grundfläche der Stützfüße angeordnet sein.In a further advantageous embodiment, openings are provided on the pallet surface which allow rain or wash water to drain off and also serve to fasten items to be transported, such as cardboard boxes or the like, which are accommodated on the pallet. In this context, such through openings can also be arranged in the area of the base of the support feet.

Die beschriebene Teilpalette ist vorzugsweise aus spritzgegossenem Kunststoff als einstückiges Bauteil hergestellt. Dies hat den Vorteil, daß das Erzeugnis in einem Fertigungsschritt einfach und kostengünstig produziert werden kann.The partial range described is preferably made of injection molded plastic as a one-piece component. This has the advantage that the product can be produced easily and inexpensively in one production step.

Nachfolgend wird ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand der Zeichnung beschrieben. Darin zeigen:

  • Fig. 1 eine schematische perspektifische Ansicht einer Ein-Viertel-Palette,
  • Fig. 2 zwei 1/4-Paletten in Aufeinanderstapelung sowie
  • Fig. 3 eine Ausbildung der Stützfüße mit Stützzungen.
A preferred embodiment of the invention is described below with reference to the drawing. In it show:
  • 1 is a schematic perspective view of a one-quarter pallet,
  • Fig. 2 two 1/4 pallets in a stack and
  • Fig. 3 shows an embodiment of the support feet with support tongues.

Fig. 1 zeigt die 1/4-Palette, die den vierten Teil der Gesamtfläche einer Standard-Palette mißt und somit mit drei weiteren entsprechenden 1/4 -Paletten auf der Grundfläche der Standard-Palette angeordnet werden kann bzw. zu einer solchen ergänzt werden kann. Die Palette 1 weist von der Unterfläche nach unten vorstehenden Stützfüße 2 auf, von denen bevorzugt vier Stützfüße vorgesehen sind. Wie insbesondere recht deutlich der Fig. 2 zu entnehmen ist, sind zwei dieser Stützfüße 2a an den Ecken der Schmalseite der Palette 1 angeordnet, wohingegen die beiden anderen mit 2b bezeichneten Stützfüße quasi asymmetrisch, d.h. um ein gewisses Maß zurückversetzt von den beiden gegenüberliegenden Ecken, jedoch vorzugsweise im Bereich des Längsrandes der Palette angeordnet sind. Diese Anordnung hat den Vorteil, daß die üblicherweise verwendeten und häufig auf die Maße einer Standardpalette abgestimmten Transportmedien für die Paletten, etwa Gabelstapler, auch für die Teilpalette verwendet und von den verschiedensten Seiten her bequem die 1/4-Palette untergreifen können, so auch auf beiden Seiten neben den Stützfüßen 2b.Fig. 1 shows the 1/4 pallet, which measures the fourth part of the total area of a standard pallet and can be arranged with three additional corresponding 1/4 pallets on the base of the standard pallet or can be added to one. The pallet 1 has support feet 2 projecting downward from the lower surface, of which four support feet are preferably provided. As can be seen particularly clearly in FIG. 2, two of these support feet 2a are arranged at the corners of the narrow side of the pallet 1, whereas the other two support feet designated 2b are quasi asymmetrical, ie set back to a certain extent from the two opposite corners, but are preferably arranged in the region of the longitudinal edge of the pallet. This arrangement has the advantage that the commonly used and often adapted to the dimensions of a standard pallet transport media for the pallets, such as forklifts, also used for the partial pallet and can easily reach under the 1/4 pallet from various sides, so too both sides next to the support feet 2b.

Um ein Kippen der Palette auszuschließen, sind die Stützfüße 2a und 2b entsprechend groß bemessen, und mit nach außen in Richtung des freien Endes der Palette weisenden Stützzungen 3 versehen, die sich aus Fig. 3 ergeben. Diese Stützzungen 3 sind zweckmäßigerweise einstückig an den Stützfüßen angeformt, die wiederum einstückig mit der Palettenträgerfläche ausgebildet sind.In order to prevent the pallet from tipping over, the support feet 2a and 2b are dimensioned correspondingly large and are provided with support tongues 3 which point outwards in the direction of the free end of the pallet and which result from FIG. 3. These support tongues 3 are expediently formed in one piece on the support feet, which in turn are formed in one piece with the pallet support surface.

Die Stützfüße 2a und 2b haben eine Querschnittsabmessung, daß sie durch die üblicherweise auf den Standard-Paletten vorhandenen Spalten mit einer Größe von bis zu 40 bis 45 mm nicht durchstoßen können. Aus diesem Grund ist es zweckmäßig, wenn eine Längsabmessung des Querschnitts der Stützfüße 2a und 2b, die beim Stapeln quer zu den längsverlaufenden Spalten der Standard-Palette steht, eine Größe von mehr als 50 mm, insbesondere mehr als 60 mm aufweist. Zweckmäßigerweise weisen die Stützfüße quadratischen oder rechteckförmigen Querschnitt auf. Hierbei können die Ecken bzw. Kanten gerundet sein, was eine Zentrierung beim Untergreifen durch einen Gabelstapler bewirkt. Ferner sind die Stützfüße hohl ausgebildet, so daß die Paletten für den Rücktransport ineinanderstapelbar sind. Auch hier dient die Rundung der Ecken als Zentrierung beim Stapeln. Entsprechend sind an der mit 4 bezeichneten Oberseite der Palette 1 in Ausrichtung mit den Stützfüßen 2a und 2b Aufnahmeöffnungen 5 für die Stützfüße ausgebildet. Bei Bedarf können in der Palette eine Reihe von Durchgangsöffnungen 7 angeordnet sein, die ein Abfließen von Regen- oder Waschwasser ermöglichen und ferner zur Befestigung von auf der Palette untergebrachtem Transportgut, etwa Kartons oder dgl. verwendet werden können.The support feet 2a and 2b have a cross-sectional dimension that they cannot penetrate through the gaps of up to 40 to 45 mm that are usually present on the standard pallets. For this reason, it is expedient if a longitudinal dimension of the cross section of the support feet 2a and 2b, which when stacked is transverse to the longitudinal columns of the standard pallet, has a size of more than 50 mm, in particular more than 60 mm. The support feet expediently have a square or rectangular cross section. The corners or edges can be rounded, which causes centering when reaching under with a forklift. Furthermore, the support feet are hollow, so that the pallets can be stacked one inside the other for the return transport. Here too, the rounding of the corners serves as a centering when stacking. Correspondingly, receiving openings 5 for the support feet are formed on the upper side of the pallet 1, designated 4, in alignment with the support feet 2a and 2b. If necessary, a number of through openings 7 can be arranged in the pallet, which allow rain or washing water to drain off and can also be used for fastening items to be transported on the pallet, such as cardboard boxes or the like.

Die Stützfüße sind nach unten hin leicht konisch ausgebildet, was wiederum das Stapeln begünstigt. Wesentlich ist aber, daß die untere Grundfläche der Stützfüße ausreichend groß ist, insbesondere die kritische Längsabmessung 60 mm oder größer beträgt, so daß ein Durchstoßen durch vorhandene Spalte in den Standardpaletten ausgeschlossen ist und im übrigen auch ein gutes Stützmoment der Stützfüße für die Palette erzeugt wird.The support feet are slightly conical towards the bottom, which in turn favors stacking. It is essential, however, that the lower base area of the support feet is sufficiently large, in particular the critical longitudinal dimension is 60 mm or larger, so that penetration through existing gaps in the standard pallets is excluded and a good support moment of the support feet for the pallet is also generated .

Die Größe der 1/4-Palette beträgt zweckmäßigerweise 400 x 600 mm, wenn sie für eine Standardpalette der Größe von 800 x 1200 mm verwendet wird. Die Palette ist durch Spritzgießen aus Kunststoff hergestellt. Wie aus den rein schematischen und die Stapelstellung erläuternden Darstellungen in der Fig. 3 entnehmbar ist, ist an der Aufnahmeöffnung 5 für das Eintauchen der mit den Stützlappen bzw. Stützzungen 3 versehenen Stützfüße 2b eine Einfahrnut 10 vorgesehen, so daß die Stützfüße 2b mit den Stützzungen 3 in die entsprechenden Ausnehmungen 5 der Palette 1 eintauchen können (Stapelvorgang). Fig. 3 zeigt hierbei unten einen Stützfuß 2b ohne Details der übrigen Teile der Palette. Fig. 2 zeigt schließlich zwei 1/4-Paletten in Stapelstellung. Es zeigt sich, daß ein sehr platzsparender Rücktransport der Paletten gewährleistet ist.The size of the 1/4 pallet is expediently 400 x 600 mm if it is used for a standard pallet of 800 x 1200 mm. The pallet is made of plastic by injection molding. 3, an insertion groove 10 is provided at the receiving opening 5 for the immersion of the support feet 2b provided with the support tabs or support tongues 3, so that the support feet 2b with the support tongues 3 can dip into the corresponding recesses 5 of the pallet 1 (stacking process). 3 shows a support leg 2b below without details of the other parts of the pallet. 2 finally shows two 1/4 pallets in the stacking position. It turns out that a very space-saving return transport of the pallets is guaranteed.

Die in Fig. 3 dargestellten Stützzungen können auch als säulenartige Stützständer nach oben gezogen sein und münden dann im oberen Bereich des entsprechenden Stützfußes. Ferner können sie als vorspringender Bestandteil des Hohlprofils des Stützfußes ausgebildet sein.The support tongues shown in Fig. 3 can also be pulled up as a column-like support stand and then open into the upper region of the corresponding support foot. Furthermore, they can be designed as a projecting component of the hollow profile of the support foot.

Ferner ist die Querschnittsform der Pinole völlig frei und die in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsformen sollen nur besonders geeignete Querschnittsformen darstellen. Die entenfußartigen Stützzungen 3 wie in der Ausführungsform nach Fig. 3 vorgesehen, die das Standvermögen der Teilpalette verbessern, können entsprechend Fig. 3 in Richtung auf die schmalseitigen Ränder der Teilpalette 13 vorragen und zwar über den oberen Anschlußpunkt der Stützfüße in die Teilpalettenfläche hinaus, so daß sich oberhalb der Stützzungen 3 ein entsprechend großer Raum für die Gabelzinken des Gabelstaplers für das Untergreifen der Teilpalette ergibt. In Fig. 3 ist der obere Anschlußpunkt des Stützfußes in die Ladefläche der Teilpalette mit 16 bezeichnet. Die die Teilpalette untergreifende Zinke 17 des Gabelstaplers ist strichliert dargestellt und es ergibt sich, daß durch die stützzungenartige Ausbildung der Stützfüße eine erhöhte Standsicherheit bei ausreichend großem Raum für das Untergreifen der Teilpalette für die Gabelzinke gegeben ist.Furthermore, the cross-sectional shape of the quill is completely free and the embodiments shown in the drawings are only intended to represent particularly suitable cross-sectional shapes. The duck foot-like support tongues 3 as provided in the embodiment according to FIG. 3, which improve the stability of the partial pallet, can protrude according to FIG. 3 in the direction of the narrow edges of the partial pallet 13 and indeed beyond the upper connection point of the support feet into the partial pallet surface, so that there is a correspondingly large space for the forks of the forklift for reaching under the partial pallet above the support tongues 3. In Fig. 3, the upper connection point of the support foot in the loading area of the partial pallet is designated 16. The prong 17 of the forklift truck engaging under the sub-range is shown in broken lines and it is found that the support tongue-like design of the support legs provides increased stability with sufficient space for the sub-range to be gripped under the forks.
