Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Palette, die einen Trägerabschnitt, Füsse und Kufen aufweist, welcher Trägerabschnitt eine rechteckige Grundrissform mit Längsrändern und Querrändern aufweist und über die Füsse auf den Kufen abgestützt ist, welcher Trägerabschnitt und welche Kufen aus Kunststoff mit gegebenenfalls Zusätzen bestehen.The present invention relates to a pallet having a support portion, feet and runners, which support portion has a rectangular plan shape with longitudinal edges and transverse edges and is supported on the feet on the skids, which support portion and which runners made of plastic with optional additives.
Zur Bildung von Einheitsladungen im Zusammenhang mit dem Einsatz von Gabelstaplern und Gabelhubwagen, auch mit Teleskoparmen ausgerüsteten Flurfördermitteln werden sogenannte Stapelplatten, z.B. nach DIN 15141 und 15146 verwendet, welche in der Fachwelt auch mit Paletten bezeichnet werden.For the formation of unit loads in connection with the use of forklifts and pallet trucks, and also with telescopic arms equipped floor conveyors, so-called stacking plates, e.g. used according to DIN 15141 and 15146, which are also referred to in the art with pallets.
Diese Paletten weisen genormte Masse auf, beispielsweise 800x1200 mm. Dabei sind Zweiweg- und Vierweg-Ausbildungen möglich.These pallets have standardized mass, for example 800x1200 mm. Two-way and four-way training are possible.
Eine Zweiweg-Ausbildung gestattet eine Gabeleinführung des Flurfördermittels entweder nur an den Breitseiten oder nur an den Längsseiten der Palette. Eine Vierweg-Ausbildung gestattet eine Gabeleinführung an allen vier Seiten der Palette.A two-way training allows a fork insertion of the floor conveyor either only on the broad sides or only on the long sides of the pallet. A four-way design allows a fork entry on all four sides of the pallet.
Weiter sind auch Halbpaletten bekannt, die durch ein Halbieren des Längsmasses des Trägerabschnittes gebildet sind, das heisst, dass bezogen auf die beispielsweise genannten genormten Masse von 800 x 1200 mm eine Halbpalette Masse von 800 x 600 mm aufweist.Next, half-pallets are also known, which are formed by halving the length of the carrier portion, that is, based on the example of said standardized mass of 800 x 1200 mm, a half-pallet mass of 800 x 600 mm.
Die Masse bezüglich der Zinken der Gabeln von Hebe- und Fördermitteln, einschliesslich Handhubwagen sind ebenfalls festgelegt, insbesondere der Abstand zwischen den Zinken, also zwischen den einander zugekehrten Zinkenrändern, und der Abstand zwischen den äusseren, voneinander entgegengesetzt angeordneten Zinkenrändern.The mass with respect to the tines of the forks of lifting and conveying means, including hand pallet trucks are also defined, in particular the distance between the tines, ie between the mutually facing tine edges, and the distance between the outer, mutually oppositely disposed tine edges.
In bezug auf die Gabeleinführung gibt es, wie oben erklärt ist, Zweiweg-Ausbildungen und Vierweg-Ausbildungen der Paletten. Dabei ist es vorwiegend der seitliche Raum zwischen den bisher bekannten Zwischenklötzen der Paletten, der bestimmt, ob die Gabeln des Hebe- und Fördermittels bei einer jeweiligen Seite in die Palette eingeführt werden können oder nicht. Insbesondere trifft dies bei Halbpaletten zu. Dieser seitliche Raum hängt vom seitlichen Mass dieser Zwischenklötze ab, die offensichtlich eine gewisse Festigkeit aufweisen müssen und demgemäss dimensioniert sind.With reference to the fork entry, as explained above, there are two-way formations and four-way formations of the pallets. It is mainly the lateral space between the previously known Zwischenklötzen the pallets, which determines whether the forks of the lifting and conveying means can be introduced at a respective page in the range or not. This is especially true for half pallets. This lateral space depends on the lateral dimension of these Zwischenklötze, which obviously must have a certain strength and are dimensioned accordingly.
Kunststoffpaletten weisen den Vorteil auf, dass sie aus einem Material bestehen, welches kostengünstig und überdies recyclierbar ist. Jedoch stellen bekannte Zwischenklötze in bezug auf die freien seitlichen Räume der Palette zur Aufnahme der Gabelzinken aufgrund ihrer seitlichen Ausdehnung Begrenzungen dar, weil sie notgedrungen aus Festigkeitsgründen eine beträchtliche seitliche Ausdehnung aufweisen müssen.Plastic pallets have the advantage that they consist of a material which is inexpensive and, moreover, recyclable. However, known intermediate blocks with respect to the free lateral spaces of the pallet for receiving the forks because of their lateral extent are limitations, because they must perforce for reasons of strength have a considerable lateral extent.
In der GB-A-1 420 222 ist eine Palette mit einem Trägerabschnitt, Füssen und einem plattenförmigen Kufenabschnitt offenbart, wobei der Trägerabschnitt und die Kufen aus Kunststoff und mindestens einige der Füsse aus Metall bestehen. Der Trägerabschnitt steht über die Füsse durchsetzende Bolzen und Muttern mit dem Kufenabschnitt in Verbindung.GB-A-1 420 222 discloses a pallet comprising a support portion, feet and a plate-shaped runner portion, the support portion and runners made of plastic and at least some of the feet being made of metal. The support section is connected via the feet passing through bolts and nuts with the skid section.
Die US-A-2 933 339 offenbart eine Zweiwegpalette mit einem Trägerabschnitt, Füssen und Kufen, wobei die Füsse am Trägerabschnitt und an den Kufen angeklemmt ist. Weiter sind Füsse offenbart, die aus einem blockförmigen Kern bestehen, der zwischen Metallplatten angeordnet ist, wobei die Verbindung mittels den Metallplatten und den Kern durchsetzende Bolzen gebildet ist.US-A-2 933 339 discloses a two-way pallet comprising a support portion, feet and runners, the feet being clamped to the support portion and runners. Furthermore, feet are disclosed which consist of a block-shaped core which is arranged between metal plates, wherein the connection formed by means of the metal plates and the core passing through bolts is.
Ziel der Erfindung ist eine Palette zu schaffen, welche einen erhöhten seitlichen Raum zwischen dem Trägerabschnitt und den Kufen aufweist, damit mit den genormten Gabelaussenbreiten der gängigen Handhubwagen eingefahren werden kann.The aim of the invention is to provide a pallet, which has an increased lateral space between the support portion and the runners, so that can be retracted with the standard fork outer widths of the common hand pallet truck.
Die erfindungsgemässe Palette, wie sie in den Ansprüchen gekennzeichnet ist, weist mindestens Füsse auf, die aus Metall bestehen.The inventive pallet, as characterized in the claims, has at least feet, which consist of metal.
Da diese Füsse vorteilhaft die Form eines bügelförmigen Flachprofils aufweisen, also plattenförmig ausgebildet sein können, steht ein grösserer seitlicher Raum zur Aufnahme von Gabelzinken zur Verfügung.Since these feet advantageously have the shape of a bow-shaped flat profile, so may be plate-shaped, there is a larger lateral space for receiving forks available.
Diese bügel- bzw. plattenförmigen Füsse können nun entlang der Längsränder der rechteckigen Grundrissform verteilt angeordnet und in der Längsrichtung der Grundrissform ausgerichtet angeordnet sein. Damit ergibt sich offensichtlich ein grösserer seitlicher Raum für das Einführen von Gabelzinken in eine Palette. Währenddem bei Ganz-Paletten ein einfacheres Manövrieren eines Gabelstaplers zum Einführen der Gabel ermöglicht ist, also das Ausrichten der Gabelzinken bezüglich der Palette nicht mehr so präzise sein muss, sind nun bei Halbpaletten Vierweg-Ausbildungen erst möglich.These ironed or plate-shaped feet can now be arranged distributed along the longitudinal edges of the rectangular floor plan form and arranged aligned in the longitudinal direction of the floor plan. This obviously results in a larger lateral space for the introduction of forks in a pallet. While in Ganz-Paletten a simpler maneuvering a forklift for inserting the fork is possible, so the alignment of the forks with respect to the pallet not more must be so precise, now with half pallets four-way training is only possible.
Die Arme der bügelförmigen Füsse können somit vom Trägerabschnitt und den Kufenabschnitten derart umspritzt sein, dass ein jeweiliger Arm in einer der Kufen eingebettet und verankert ist.The arms of the bow-shaped feet can thus be encapsulated by the support portion and the runner sections such that a respective arm is embedded and anchored in one of the runners.

Da der Kunststoff die Löcher 7 durchdringt, werden die Füsse 3 im Kunststoff fest verankert.The production of the pallet takes place in an injection molding process. The
Betrachtet man die Figuren 5 und 6 wird ersichtlich, dass auch im Falle einer Halbpalette die Gabelzinken z.B. eines Handhubwagens nicht nur in Richtung des Pfeiles C in die Palette eingefahren werden können, sondern auch in Richtung des Pfeiles D, da nun aufgrund der plattenförmigen Füsse 3 ein genügend grosser seitlicher Raum unter dem Trägerabschnitt 1 zur Aufnahme der Gabelzinken vorhanden ist.Looking at Figures 5 and 6 it will be seen that even in the case of a half-pallet, the forks of a hand pallet truck can be moved not only in the direction of arrow C in the range, but also in the direction of arrow D, since now due to the plate-shaped feet a sufficiently large lateral Space is present under the
Das Breitenmass einer Halbpalette beträgt 600 mm. Somit können die plattenförmigen Füsse eine maximale Dicke von 8 mm aufweisen, da 2 + 8 mm + 548 mm = 600 mm beträgt.The width of a half pallet is 600 mm. Thus, the plate-shaped feet may have a maximum thickness of 8 mm, since 2 + 8 mm + 548 mm = 600 mm.
