Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pallet, comprising an upper cover plate, a lower cover plate and columns between the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate.
  • Such pallets are nowadays used on a large scale for sto ⁇ ring and for transporting all kinds of goods.
  • the invention aims at removing the drawbacks of the known pallets.
  • the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate are made of paper material and in that the columns are made of material which can be rammed in in the longitudinal direction of the columns and is formed by rolled up corrugated board, the ends of the columns being arranged in holes in the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate .
  • the upper and lower cover plates can be made of paper material.
  • the ends of the columns are arranged in holes in the upper and lower cover plates.
  • the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate are made of honeycomb plates comprising a honeycomb core and an outer cover plate and an inner cover plate, so that a rigid and yet lightweight pallet is obtained.
  • the holes in the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate extend through the inner cover plates and the core up to the outer cover plates and with their end faces the columns bear against the inner surface of the outer cover plates, so that the column cannot protrude outside the upper and lower cover plates and the columns are easily and securely attachable in the upper and lower cover plates.
  • the holes in the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate are through-going and the end faces of the columns are flush with the outer surface of the outer cover plates.
  • the holes in the upper and lower cover plates are simple to make.
  • every column is provided at every end with an attaching tenon having a smaller diameter than the rest of the column and having a diameter and length which corre- sponds to the holes in the upper and lower cover plate, so that the attaching tenons are entirely received in the upper and lower cover plate, and the shoulder faces which are formed at the transitions between the tenons and the rest of the column provide additional attaching and sup- porting surfaces of the column against the inner cover plate of the upper and lower cover plate.
  • the columns are preferably bonded in the holes in the upper and lower cover plate, so that when manoeuvring a pallet it does not fall apart.
  • the upper cover plate of honeycomb plate is approximately 20 mm thick, and preferably the lower cover plate of honeycomb plate is approximately 10 mm thick, so that the pallet with honeycomb plates is sufficiently rigid and the outer and inner cover plates of the honey ⁇ comb plates are spaced far enough apart so that in the case of through-going holes shearing forces on the pallet can be taken up to an adequate extent.
  • every column of rolled up corrugated board is approximately 115 mm in diameter, so that each column can take up sufficient force.
  • the attaching tenons on the columns of rolled up corrugated board are approximately 93 mm in diameter, so that the shoulder faces at the transition between the tenon and the rest of the column are large enough, while the diameter of the tenons remains large enough to take up lateral forces on the pallet.
  • the corrugated board is selected and rolled up such that a column is rammed in at a load between 1000 and 1500 kg, after which other columns of the pallet take up part of the load on that one column and ramming in thereof ceases.
  • a dispro- portionately high load between 1000 and 1500 kg on one column is distributed over other columns of the pallet by ramming in said column somewhat, so that all the columns will take up an approximately equal part of the load and the product on the pallet will not be damaged by a dispro- portionately high load on just one column.
  • the upper and lower cover plates are approxima ⁇ tely 1 by 1.2 metres in size.
  • Figure 1 is a top view of the pallet according to the invention
  • figure 2 is a cross section according to the line II-II in figure 1
  • figure 3 is a cross section according to the line III-III in figure 1 and
  • figure 4 is a perspective view of a column of the pallet.
  • the pallet according to the invention consists of an upper cover plate 1, a lower cover plate 2 and columns 3, of which, for example, nine are arranged.
  • the upper cover plate 1 and the lower cover plate 2 are both made of honeycomb plate, which consists of a core 4 and 5 respectively, of strips of thin cardboard, formed and attached to each other such that for instance hexagonal "honeycombs" are formed, and of an outer cover plate 6 and an inner cover plate 7, which are bonded on both flat sides on the core 4 and 5 respective ⁇ ly.
  • the cover plates 6 and 7 consist of solid cardboard.
  • continuous holes 8 are arranged in the upper cover plate 1 and the lower cover plate 2 for receiving the attaching tenons 10 and 11 provided on the columns 3.
  • the length of the attaching tenons 10 and 11 is adapted to the length of the holes in the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate respect- ively, so that they do not protrude outside the outer cover plates.
  • the tenons 10 and 11 are bonded in the holes
  • the columns are made of rolled up corrugated board of the one-sided type, and are of a thickness such that they ram in at the required load.
  • the upper and lower cover plate 1, 2 are approximately 1 by 1.2 metres in size and the upper cover plate is approximately 20 mm and the lower cover plate approximately 10 mm thick.
  • the columns 3 are approximately 115 mm in diameter, and the attaching tenons 10, 11 on the columns approximately 93 mm in diameter.
  • a column 3 is rammed in at a load between 1000 and 1500 kg, after which other columns of the pallet take up a part of this (disproportionately high) load and the ramming in of that specific column ceases.
  • corrugated board for the columns is of the E-wave RCK 110/125 type.
