Definitions

  • the present invention refers to a pallet for motorcycles, which has been designed and embodied to constitute a means usable for storage of motorcycles as well as for the transport thereof.
  • the pallet is especially applicable in storage areas such as factories, warehouses, and even in places of business or stores, being equally useful to transport motorcycles, in trucks, as well as in ships, or other conventional means of transportation.
  • the object of the invention is none other than that to solve all the above mentioned inconveniences and problems, for which purpose a series of innovations and improvements of conventional pallets have been conceived.
  • a pallet which on the one hand turns out to be economic to manufacture, lightweight, easy to handle by hand when it is not loaded with motorcycles, is obtained.
  • motorcycles manage to remain perfectly stable in the pallet without the need of additional holding elements.
  • the pallet of the invention has as a first novel characteristic, the fact of being made entirely out of wood, having a perimetric frame and corresponding rigidizing crossbars and longitudinal bars, a frame which is provided with a perimetric internal recess to support the corresponding board, which is also made out of wood, although it is made of a material called "DM".
  • This board has pairs of windows for wheels of the motorcycle, with the particularity that one of the windows is oblique for positioning of the front wheel and so that the handlebars remain turned with regard to the longitudinal axis, which prevents the handlebars of two contiguous motorcycles from obstructing each other.
  • the openings or windows for placement and support of the wheels of the motorcycle have a beveled edge in their ends, for the purpose of preventing sharp edges, since the wheels rest precisely in these beveled edges, besides with the particularity that such windows or openings have a lateral notch, either in the ones corresponding to the rear wheels, or else in the windows and in the ones corresponding to the front wheels, to serve as the location for the corresponding brake mechanisms and to prevent them from knocking against the board, which could damage them in the event that such notches did not exist for placement thereof.
  • the pallet of the invention it is achieved that with a single frame different boards may be placed, or what amounts to the same thing, boards for different types of motorcycles, since in some cases the board will have two pairs of windows or openings for positioning two motorcycles and in other cases it may have three pairs of windows or openings to place three motorcycles of another type, always with the same frame and with some standard measurements of the pallet unit, measurements which result to be ideal for adaptation thereof to the width of transport trucks, as well as for the hollows corresponding to ship holds.
  • the inclined orientation of the windows or openings corresponding to the front wheels of the motorcycles gives rise to perfect stabilization of the motorcycles, without requiring tie rods or other holding means of the motorcycles for this purpose.
  • Figure 1 is a top plan view of the pallet made entirely out of wood in accordance with the object of the invention, showing one of the corners of the board itself cut so that one can see the perimetric internal recess or step that forms the frame in order to precisely support the perimetric contour of the board.
  • Figure 2 is a section view taken on line A-B of the previous figure.
  • Figure 3 shows another section view, in this case taken on line C-D of figure 1.
  • Figure 4 shows a plan view of a board for two motorcycles, in which the four windows or openings have a notch for the placement of the corresponding brake mechanisms with some types of motorcycles have for this purpose.
  • Figure 5 shows another plan view of a board like the one of the previous figure, in this case with three pairs of windows or openings provided for three motorcycles of another type.
  • the pallet of the invention is formed as of a rectangular wooden frame (1) and a panel or board (2) placed horizontally and releasably mounted with regard to the frame (1), the frame having a perimetric internal step or recess (3) in which precisely the contour of the cited board (2) rests.
  • the dimensions of the pallet comprised of these two parts are suitable so that their length as well as their width adapt perfectly to the width of transport trucks, as well as to ship holds, thus achieving maximum use of the space in these cited means of transport.
  • Frame (1) includes some bottom crossbars (4) so that the pallet unit remains raised up with regard to the floor and permits insertion of the corresponding fork of an elevating truck for handling the pallet.
  • the same has pairs of openings (7 and 8), the latter considered as the rear ones and the latter considered as the front ones, in such a way that opening (7) of each pair is made longitudinally, while the opening (8) is made obliquely, all in such a way that in these two openings (7 and 8) the wheels of a motorcycle will remain perfectly positioned and supported, the motorcycle remaining stably stored without the need of additional holding or fastening elements of the same, when the pallet is loaded with motorcycles stacked in a warehouse, as well as when the pallet is loaded with motorcycles in transport trucks or other conventional means.
  • the openings (7 and 8) have in their ends a beveled edge (9) that is going to define in each case the support surface for the wheel itself of the motorcycle, also having in the side area a notch (10) that only exists in the openings (7) for positioning of the rear wheels of the motorcycle, as shown in figure 1, or else these notches (10) made in the rear openings (7) as well as in the front ones (8), logically depending on the type of motorcycle, since these notches (10) are provided so that the brake mechanism of the motorcycle remains located in them, and logically depending on the type of motorcycle, the brake mechanisms will be located and, therefore, in some cases notches (10) are required and in others they will not be necessary.
  • figure 5 shows another board (2) with the same dimensions as the boards represented in figures 1 and 4, but in this case they have three pairs of openings (7 and 8), narrower than those of figures 1 and 4, since in this case, on the board (2) of figure 5 three motorcycles, whose wheels will be considerably narrower, can be placed.
