Definitions
- the arms are cantilevered from the central portion of the hook and are mutually spaced apart by distance sufficient to accommodate the block which typically separates the top and bottom members of a standard pallet design.
- the hook is of this form it can be inserted to surround the block and thereby be positioned to avoid interference with the forks of a forklift truck.
- a retaining device of the present invention could be provided at each centre block position and/or at each comer block position.
- the hooks can be positioned intermediate the blocks to pass over the load in one direction whilst still leaving the possibility of forklift truck manoeuvring of the pallet.
- the hooks 12 could be positioned to surround the centre block 5 of each face of the pallet so that the load would be retained by two retaining devices located in planes perpendicular to each other, but neither of the retaining devices would interfere with full use of a forklift truck for mechanical handling purposes.

Abstract
Description
Claims (10)
- A device for retaining a load (9) on a pallet (1) comprising first and second hooks (12) to which a length of flexible material (13) is connected wherein each hook (12) includes a central portion (14) to which the flexible material (13) is attached and a pair of arms (15, 16) extending from the central portion (14) on opposite sides of the area of attachment to the flexible material, each arm (15, 16) having top (19) and bottom (20) surfaces which are spaced apart by a distance which is sufficiently small to allow the arms (15, 16) to be inserted readily between the top (3) and bottom (4) members of a pallet (1) with which the device is to be used but which is sufficiently large to ensure that when the arms (15, 16) of the respective hooks (12) are positioned between the top (3) and bottom (4) members on the opposite sides of a pallet (1), and the flexible material (13) extends between the hooks (12) over the load (9) and applies a tension force to the hooks (12), the arms (15, 16) cannot readily be withdrawn from the space (6) between the top (3) and bottom (4) members of the pallet (1), wherein said first and second hooks (12) are connected one to the other by said length (13) of flexible material.
- A device according to claim 1 wherein the flexible material (13) is elastically extendible and is of fixed unstressed length.
- A device according to claim 1 wherein the flexible material (13) is of variable unstressed length and comprises a length of material secured to each hook (12) and means for adjusting length of material between the hooks.
- A device according to any preceding claim wherein each hook (12) is provided with means (17) permitting the hook (12) to be engaged by the foot of an operative.
- A device according to claim 4 wherein the means (17) to be engaged by the foot of an operative comprises a ledge provided on the exposed surface (14) of the hook, or an aperture (17) into which the toe of an operative can be inserted.
- A device according to any preceding claim wherein the arms (15, 16) are cantilevered from a central portion (14) of the hook and are mutually spaced apart by distance sufficient to accommodate a block (5) which separates the top (3) and bottom (4) members of the pallet (1).
- A device according to any preceding claim wherein the top surface (19) and/or the bottom surface (20) of the or each arm (15, 16) is formed with a profile (21, 22) which increases the gripping action of the arm (15, 16).
- A device according to any preceding claim wherein a saw-toothed profile (21) is provided on the upper surface (19) of each arm (15, 16) adjacent the central portion (14) of the hook (12) and on the lower surface (20) of each arm remote from the central portion (14) to increase the gripping action of the arm (15, 16).
- A device according to any preceding claim wherein the hooks (12) are manufactured by injection moulding from suitable plastics material.
- A device according to any preceding claim wherein the hooks (12) are manufactured of metal.
