Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pallet of the type described in the preamble of claim 1.
  • the invention also relates to a method of producing a pallet and a pallet leg according to the preamble of the first method claim.
  • a preferred field of application for pallets according to the invention are disposable pallets made of corrugated paper-board.
  • US-A-5 372 074 relates to a pallet made of pasteboard or cardboard .
  • This pallet is provided with legs having a trapezoidal shape in cross-section, which on their upper and lower sides and the two outer sides of the outer legs, in order to stiffen the pallet, are glued to an upper and a lower pallet tray, respectively .
  • Special embodiments according to Figs. 6 and 9 are, straight across the pallet, provided with openings 630 and 930, respectively, designed to receive forks on a fork lift. These openings have been obtained by mounting in the longitudinal direction short leg portions between the pallet trays and by providing flaps of the latter folded down along the pallet sides with punchings, which correspond to said openings, at least in the longitudinal direction of the legs.
  • a pallet which according to Fig. 5 comprises as many as 14 separate components. All these components must be brought into and then retained in exact positions during the manufacture and they must also, during use of the pallet, be kept in their positions. Otherwise, the pallet will collapse.
  • the obtained product is a pallet, the upper tray of which and consequently the load only is supported in certain points .
  • such a pallet can not be stacked in a space-saving way by turning each pair of pallets with their leg sides towards each other and pushing them into each other with a certain mutual lateral displacement.
  • DE-A-2 215 204 relates to a pallet, produced by folding a plurality of corrugated paper-board blanks .
  • the pallet sides which will function together, have in a horizontal plane flap sections, which can be swung away by means of an inserted fork on a fork lift. These do not affect the area above the fork on the fork lift with pressure distribution and will probably, at least when the pallet is loaded, not return to their original positions.
  • leg and pallet designs are disadvantageous, since the legs are not sufficiently braced and consequently are weak and instable respectively. Tilting and/or lateral sliding as well as parallelogram-like cross-section or profile changes are possible during loading and if the legs have been fastened in a defective way. Finally, moisture may often penetrate into the legs from their ends and weaken the legs and render repeated use impossible, in case such a use is desirable.
  • One object of the present invention is to counter-act and eliminate as much as possible the above-mentioned drawbacks.
  • Another object of the invention is to in various additional respects develop the state of the art in this field.
  • the invention in particular is to offer an in a total way more reasonable solution of the present problems ; the pallet and the leg volume and weight, respectively, are to be minimal ; the stacking/storage is to, if possible , be avoided and alternatives be offered; a quick and advantageous adjustment to a continuous production and different products and product sizes is to be done ; sanitary requirements are to be met; waste is to be avoided ; and reuse is to be made possible; automatic production/mounting is to be done with minimal requirements as to machine equipment ; the strength of the entire pallet or parts of it, particularly the legs and an upper pallet tray are to be made variable according to the requirements and the desires ; and improved opportunities to integration and advertisements/informations are to be obtained.
  • a rectangular, mirror-symmetrical pallet leg blank is made of corrugated paper-board having a wave direction, which is transversal to the longitudinal direction of the leg.
  • the leg can be oblong and is provided with two first, central longitudinal grooves or other bending notches 3, the distance between which corresponds to the desired width of pallet leg base 2.
  • second grooves 4 designed to define pallet leg walls 5, then at a somewhat smaller distance third grooves 8 defining top surfaces 7, and fourth grooves or the like 10 to define hypotenuse-like,downwardly oblique brace legs 9 in a pressure arch-forming way, which are connected to free support legs 11 having free longitudinal edges 12.
  • the angle between a brace leg 9 and leg base 2 is to be less than 80°, preferably 60-75°. In this way, a square or standing outer profile for a leg is obtained and the above-mentioned characteristics are secured.
  • the support legs contact wall 5 in a plane on their inner side and are pressed against this side due to the diagonal direction of the brace legs and consequently an efficient locking in the corner between the walls and the leg base is obtained.
  • top surfaces 7 are fastened to an upper tray 26, which jointly with an arbitrary number of pallet legs 1 constitutes a complete pallet 25.
  • top surfaces 7 are fastened to an upper tray 26, which jointly with an arbitrary number of pallet legs 1 constitutes a complete pallet 25.
  • the pallet leg blank is provided at its end edges with glued sealing tape 6, which protects the open material, e.g. corrugated paper-board, against moisture penetration.
  • the blank can be provided, when it is still a fed material web, with such tape around its edges or it is possible to fasten the tape after the cutting of the web into sheets designed to become leg blanks.
  • Fig. 5 in which a blank for a pallet leg 1 without openings 13 is shown.
  • the corners are provided with indentations 22 and the blanks are designed to be fed close to each other, the end edges 12 of adjacent blanks touching each other or being positioned very close to each other.
  • the pallet leg is, in its longitudinal direction at locations at a distance from each other, in support legs 11 provided with rectangular openings 13, which are through in a transversal direction.
  • the mutual distance between the openings corresponds to the distance between a pair of fork legs (not shown) on a fork lift (not shown).
  • the pallet leg blank openings 13 are along their lateral edges provided with protection flaps 14, which preferably have roughly the same width as top surfaces 7. It is shown in the drawings, that within the region of these openings 13, brace legs 9 and top surfaces 7 are provided with substantially rectangular openings 15, the size of which, like the size of openings 13 including protection flaps 14, corresponds to the size of openings 13 in the finished folded pallet leg.
  • Openings 15 can also solely be provided in brace legs 9 and leave top surfaces 7 untouched , in which case openings 13 in the finished folded pallet leg are not open upwards but shielded by accordingly through top surfaces, which in their entirety are fastened, e.g. glued, below a pallet tray of known design (not shown).
  • the pallet leg walls 5 are in the region of the openings 13 provided with flaps 16, which are connected to the pallet leg blank along longitudinal side 18, which faces wall base or leg base 2 and is swingable around perforations, grooves or the like, which constitute this longitudinal side.
  • the corners of the flaps are provided with indentations 17, which facilitate and render possible, respectively, a folding process, described in the following.
  • flaps are allowed to extend into the region of top surfaces 7, the extension of the flaps in this way increasing in the transversal direction of the pallet legs.
  • the folding is carried out in the following way : Support legs 11 are folded towards adjacent brace leg 9, until the angle between them according to Fig. 1 is obtained or an even smaller angle or the two legs abut each other. Subsequently, the outer portions, prepared in this way and each comprising a support leg and a brace leg , are folded towards each other, until the shape of use, shown in Fig. 1, has been obtained. In this situation, the pallet leg can be fastened, e.g. glued , with the top surfaces below a pallet tray. The shape of use is retained without any additional means, since the brace legs extend diagonally from the upper center of the pallet leg to the lower corners and would require more space to be able to unintentionally return to another position. Consequently, no such unintentional return is possible. Thanks to the inherent elasticity of the material, the support legs are positioned in a flat state against the inner side of the respective wall. It is also possible to glue the walls and support legs together with the exception of the flap regions.
  • longitudinal edge 19, positioned opposite longitudinal edge 18, can have lateral oblique portions 20, obtained because central portion 21 extends into opening 15 as a short and wide tongue, to which said section is connected in a step-like way. Thanks to said recessed sections, the protection flaps and the large flaps do not interfere with each other but lock each other in an advantageous way in the state of use.
  • a more advantageous way to give the pallet leg its final shape probably is, in connection with the folding of the pallet leg blank to a pallet leg or directly afterwards, to in each opening initially fold the flap inwards on one side, the protection flaps being brought along, and subsequently fold the flap on the other side inwards, the protection flaps associated with this flap also being brought along, the latter inwardly folded flap of course being positioned on top of the first inwardly folded flap, which however is not a disadvantage but an advantage, because in this way a lower reinforcement in connection with the opening is obtained. All the flaps are retained and do not have to be glued or the like. Of course, e.g. the flaps positioned on top of each other can be glued together. If the main flaps are glued together, an efficient holding-together of the finished folded leg is obtained in this way, which can be transported and stored in this shape without risk that the joining will be undone.
  • the method of producing a pallet 25 according to the present invention preferably, is integrated into a packaging and/or loading line.
  • One embodiment is shown in Fig. 8.
  • a tray 26 or a box or the like is fed and simultaneously, pallet leg blanks 1 are fed in a transversal direction and are folded into pallet legs, which subsequently are fastened to the bottom surfaces of the tray or the like, e.g. by gluing and/or by staples, a finished pallet , a container provided with pallet legs or the like being obtained.
  • Fig. 8 A tray 26 or a box or the like is fed and simultaneously, pallet leg blanks 1 are fed in a transversal direction and are folded into pallet legs, which subsequently are fastened to the bottom surfaces of the tray or the like, e.g. by gluing and/or by staples, a finished pallet , a container provided with pallet legs or the like being obtained.
  • FIG. 8 also shows, that the pallet leg blanks, fed from a pile of pallet leg blanks, pass between two tape application areas 27, in which to each side of the blank a continuous tape strip is fastened, the one half of it to the upper side and the other half of it on the bottom side, after which the strip is cut between two blanks, fed after each other in the way described above in connection with Fig. 5.
  • the need to produce pallet legs and pallets in different locations and to transport them to the line and store them etc. will be eliminated.
  • quick adjustments to different pallet leg and pallet designs or the like are easy to attain.
  • pallet leg base 2 on its bottom side and/or tray 26 on its top side may also be advantageous to provide pallet leg base 2 on its bottom side and/or tray 26 on its top side with a coating, which enhances the friction or one or several strings, strips or the like having such properties.
  • a sliding of pallets on e.g. the platform of a driven truck and goods on the pallet tray is counter-acted, if said goods do not fill the tray completely or if the tray is not designed like a trough but as a completely flat surface.
