Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einen Formkörper aus einer Materialmischung sowie ein Verfahren zur Herstellung dieses Formkörpers.The invention relates to a molding of a material mixture and a method for producing this shaped article.

Ein gattungsgemäßer Formkörper sowie ein gattungsgemäßes Verfahren sind beispielsweise aus der WO 00/40384 bekannt, welche auf den Anmelder selbst zurückgeht.A generic molding and a generic Methods are known, for example, from WO 00/40384, which dates back to the applicant himself.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Formkörper und ein Verfahren anzugeben, welche eine noch kostengünstigere Herstellung bei gleichzeitiger Verbesserung der Anwendungsvielfalt ermöglichen.The invention has for its object to provide a molded body and a method which allow a more cost-effective production while improving the variety of applications.

Die Aufgabe wird durch einen Formkörper mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 sowie mit einem Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Formkörpers mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 9 gelöst. Ausgestaltungen der Erfindung sind in den darauf rückbezogenen Ansprüchen angegeben.The task is characterized by a molded body with the features of claim 1 and with a method for the production a molded body with the features of claim 9 solved. Embodiments of the invention are referred to in the latter Claims specified.

Der erfindungsgemäße Formkörper ist dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass die Materialmischung einen kleinteiligen Faserstoff, zerkleinertes Gummimaterial von Fahrzeugreifen und einen Thermoplasten umfasst.The shaped body according to the invention is characterized that the material mixture is a small-particle fiber, shredded rubber material of vehicle tires and a Thermoplastics includes.

Ein Grundgedanke der Erfindung liegt darin, für den Formkörper u.a. geschreddertes Gummimaterial, wie es bei Fahrzeugreifen eingesetzt wird, mit in die Materialmischung einzuarbeiten. Dies bringt mehrfache Vorteile mit sich. Zum einen wird der Formkörper durch die Beimengung von Gummimaterial wasserabweisend. Das normalerweise sehr stark Feuchtigkeit anziehende Fasermaterial wird durch den Gummi und den Thermoplasten in der Materialmatrix eingebunden, so dass keine oder kaum noch Feuchtigkeit durch die Fasern aufgenommen werden kann. Auf diese Weise wird der Neigung eines Quellens des Formkörpers entgegengewirkt, so dass der Formkörper auch in feuchter Umgebung formstabil bleibt.A basic idea of the invention lies therein, for the shaped body et al shredded rubber material, as in vehicle tires is used, with in the material mixture incorporate. This brings several advantages. To the one becomes the shaped body by the admixture of rubber material water repellent. That's usually very strong Moisture-attracting fiber material is absorbed by the rubber and the thermoplastic in the material matrix, so that little or no moisture through the fibers can be included. In this way, the inclination a swelling of the shaped body counteracted, so that the Shaped body remains dimensionally stable even in a humid environment.

Erfindungsgemäße Formkörper können somit in feuchten Räumen oder auch im Außenbereich an oder sogar im Wasser, beispielsweise als Bootsstege, eingesetzt werden.Moldings according to the invention can thus be used in damp rooms or in the outdoor area or even in the water, for example as jetties, are used.

Durch die Verwendung von Gummi in der Materialmischung wird an dem daraus hergestellten Formkörper eine besonders griffige Oberfläche erzeugt. Hierdurch ist der erfindungsgemäße Formkörper für die Verwendung als ein rutschfester Bodenbelag besonders geeignet.By using rubber in the material mixture is on the molded body produced therefrom a particularly handy Surface generated. As a result, the inventive Shaped body for use as a non-slip floor covering particularly suitable.

Darüber hinaus sorgt die Verwendung des Gummis innerhalb der Materialmischung trotz hoher Formstabilität des Körpers für eine gute Dämpfungseigenschaft. Dies ist ebenfalls für Bodenbeläge sehr gewünscht, um die Erzeugung eines sogenannten Trittschalles möglichst gering zu halten. Die Dämpfungseigenschaft eines erfindungsgemäßen Formkörpers kann sogar so hoch eingestellt weren, dass dieser für schwingungsdämpfende Industriebeläge geeignet ist. Derartige Industriebeläge müssen eine hohe Festigkeit bei gleichzeitiger hoher Dämpfungseigenschaft aufweisen, um beispielsweise schwingungserzeugende Maschinen möglichst vibrationsarm aufzunehmen. In addition, the use of the rubber ensures inside the material mixture despite high dimensional stability of the body for a good cushioning property. This is also for Floor coverings very much desired to produce a so-called To keep impact sound as low as possible. The damping property a molded body according to the invention can even set so high that this for vibration damping Industrial flooring is suitable. Such industrial flooring have high strength at the same time have high damping property, for example vibration generating machines as low vibration take.

Bei Formkörpern, inbesondere Brettern oder Leisten, nach dem Stand der Technik, bei welchen das kleinteilige Fasermaterial vollständig in einem Thermoplasten eingebunden ist, wird eine sehr große Härte, etwa wie bei Hartholz, erreicht. Diese bekannten Formkörper können daher in der Regel nur maschinell bearbeitet werden. Ein herkömmliches Einschlagen von Nägeln in derartige Formkörper ist daher nicht möglich. Demgegenüber wird bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Formkörper durch die Verwendung von Gummi die Festigkeit derart definiert eingestellt, dass die erfindungsgemäßen Formkörper wie normales Holz auch mittels handbetätigter Werkzeuge bearbeitet werden können. Insbesondere können in die erfindungsgemäßen Formkörper Nägel eingeschlagen werden.For moldings, especially boards or strips, after the prior art, in which the small-sized fiber material completely integrated in a thermoplastic is, a very high hardness, such as hardwood, achieved. These known moldings can therefore usually only be machined. A conventional one Felling nails in such moldings is therefore not possible. In contrast, in the inventive Shaped body through the use of rubber's strength set defined such that the inventive Moldings as normal wood also by means of hand-operated Tools can be edited. In particular, in the shaped body nails according to the invention are taken.

Dabei hat sich als ein zusätzlicher Vorteil ergeben, dass ein eingeschlagener Nagel in einem erfindungsgemäßen Formkörper besonders gut hält. Das heißt, die sogenannte Nagelauszugskraft ist deutlich höher als bei einem Nagel in einem üblichen Holzstück. Ein Grund hierfür ist darin zu sehen, dass die erfindungemäße Materialmischung mit dem Gummi an der Oberfläche eines eingeschlagenen Nagels eine wesentlich höhere Haftkraft bzw. Haftreibung erzeugt als Holz.
Beim Zusammenbau eines Werkstückes mit erfindungsgemäßen Formkörpern kann daher gegenüber Holzteilen die Anzahl von zu verwendenden Nägeln und der damit verbundene Aufwand vermindert werden. Darüber hinaus können mit erfindungsgemäßen Formkörpern durch Nageln stabile Verbindungen hergestellt werden, welche bei Holzteilen nur durch aufwendigere Schraubverbindungen erreicht werden könnten.
It has been found to be an additional advantage that a hammered nail holds particularly well in a molding according to the invention. That is, the so-called nail extracting force is significantly higher than a nail in a conventional piece of wood. One reason for this is to be seen in the fact that the material mixture according to the invention with the rubber on the surface of a hammered nail produces a considerably higher adhesive force or static friction than wood.
When assembling a workpiece with moldings according to the invention, the number of nails to be used and the associated expense can therefore be reduced compared to wooden parts. In addition, with moldings according to the invention by nailing stable compounds can be produced, which could be achieved in wood parts only by consuming screwed connections.

Schließlich besteht noch ein weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung darin, dass zerkleinertes Gummimaterial sehr preisgünstig zur Verfügung steht. Denn das Gummimaterial kann aus alten Fahrzeugreifen gewonnen werden. Die Fahrzeugreifen müssen lediglich geschreddert werden, wobei zur Herstellung der erfindungsgemäßen Formkörper ohne weiteres die Anteile von Gewebeteilen aus dem Verstärkungsgewebe des Fahrzeugreifens in der Gummimaterialmischung verbleiben können. Alte Fahrzeugreifen können daher nach der Erfindung einer sinnvollen Weiterverarbeitung zugeführt werden. Die Erfindung dient damit dem Abfallrecycling und schont die Rohstoffresourcen.Finally, there is another advantage of the invention in that crushed rubber material is very reasonably priced is available. Because the rubber material can be obtained from old vehicle tires. The vehicle tires need only be shredded, with the Production of the moldings according to the invention readily the proportions of tissue parts from the reinforcing fabric of the vehicle tire remain in the rubber material mixture can. Old vehicle tires can therefore according to the invention be fed to a meaningful further processing. The Invention thus serves the waste recycling and protects the Raw material resources.

Besonders gute Eigenschaften des erfindungsgemäßen Formkörpers werden dadurch erreicht, dass der Anteil des zerkleinerten Gummimaterials an der Materialmischung zwischen 5 % und 30 %, vorzugsweise 15 %, beträgt. Je höher der Gummianteil in der Materialmischung, desto höher die Dämpfungseigenschaften und umso besser die Verarbeitbarkeit des Formkörpers. Je nach Anwendungsfall kann so der Formkörper mit einer definierten Eigenschaft versehen werden.Particularly good properties of the molding according to the invention be achieved by the fact that the proportion of crushed Rubber material on the material mixture between 5% and 30%, preferably 15%. The higher the rubber content in the material mixture, the higher the Damping properties and the better the processability of the molding. Depending on the application, so the Moldings provided with a defined property become.

Für den erfindungsgemäßen Formkörper können grundsätzlich alle bekannten und in der Kunststofftechnik eingesetzten Thermoplasten verwendet werden. Da das Gummimaterial in einem gewissen Umfang zur Bindung in der Materialmatrix beiträgt, können für den erfindungsgemäßen Formkörper auch Thermoplasten mit geringeren Bindungseigenschaften verwendet werden. Der erfindungsgemäße Formkörper kann daher auch mit recycletem Kunststoff hergestellt werden, welcher in der Abfallwirtschaft in großen Mengen anfällt. Abhängig von der gewünschten Festigkeit des Formkörpers ist es erfindungsgemäß vorgesehen, dass der Anteil des Thermoplasten an der Materialmischung zwischen 10 % und 40 %, vorzugsweise 25 %, beträgt. For the molding according to the invention can in principle all known and used in plastics technology Thermoplastics are used. Since the rubber material in to a certain extent for binding in the material matrix contributes, can also for the inventive molding Thermoplastics used with lower binding properties become. The shaped body according to the invention can therefore also be made with recycled plastic, which in waste is produced in large quantities. Depending on the desired strength of the shaped body, it is according to the invention provided that the proportion of thermoplastics on the material mixture between 10% and 40%, preferably 25%.

Besonders vorteilhaft nach der Erfindung ist es weiterhin, dass der Anteil des kleinteiligen Faserstoffs an der Materialmischung zwischen 30 % bis 85 %, vorzugsweise 60 %, beträgt. Der kleinteilige Faserstoff kann insbesondere Pflanzenmaterial sein, beispielsweise Holzmehl, Hohlspäne, Getreidespelze, Stroh, Bagasse (Zuckerrohrstroh), Zellulose, Kakao-, Kokos- oder Palmfasern etc. Derartige Pflanzenfaserstoffe fallen ebenfalls in großen Mengen in der holzverarbeitenden Industrie oder in der Landwirtschaft an. Da es sich hierbei um nachwachsende Rohstoffe handelt, wird mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Formkörper ein insgesamt besonders umweltfreundliches Produkt geschaffen.It is furthermore particularly advantageous according to the invention that the proportion of small-particle pulp in the material mixture between 30% to 85%, preferably 60%. The small-particle fiber can in particular plant material such as wood flour, hollow chips, cereal hides, Straw, bagasse (cane straw), cellulose, Cocoa, coconut or palm fibers etc. Such vegetable fiber substances also fall in large quantities in the woodworking Industry or agriculture. Because it This is about renewable resources is, with the molding according to the invention a total particularly created environmentally friendly product.

Selbstverständlich können zur Herstellung des erfindungsgemäßen Formkörpers neben den oben genannten Bestandteilen in der Materialmischung in gewissem Umfang noch weitere Bestandteile, beispielsweise Farbpigmente, Gleit- oder Plastifizierungsmittel etc. enthalten sein.Of course, for the production of the inventive Shaped body in addition to the above ingredients in the material mixture to some extent further components, For example, color pigments, lubricants or plasticizers etc. be included.

Ein Aspekt der Erfindung besteht darin, dass der Formkörper als Palettenfuß ausgeführt ist. Ein Palettenfuß ist vorzugsweise ein etwa quaderförmiges oder zylindrisches Bauteil, welches an Transportpaletten, insbesondere sogenannten Euro-Paletten, verwendet wird. Auf den Palettenfüßen ist mit Brettern oder Paneelen die Ablage- oder Transportfläche ausgebildet. Ein derartige Palette weist in der Regel vier, sechs oder neun Palettenfüße auf, deren Höhen so ausgebildet ist, dass die Palette mittels eines Gabelstaplers aufgenommen werden kann.One aspect of the invention is that the shaped body designed as a pallet base. A pallet base is preferable an approximately cuboidal or cylindrical component, which on transport pallets, especially so-called Euro pallets, is used. On the pallet feet is the storage or transport surface with boards or panels educated. Such a pallet has in the Usually four, six or nine pallet feet on whose heights is designed so that the pallet by means of a forklift can be included.

Bisherige Palettenfüße bestehen vornehmlich aus Holz oder Pressspan. Diese bekannten Palettenfüße haben das Problem, dass diese auf einer nassen Abstellfläche Wasser ziehen. Dieses Wasser kann über die Füße bis zur Transportfläche gelangen und darauf abgestelltes Lagergut, insbesondere Kartons, beschädigen.Previous pallet feet consist primarily of wood or Pressboard. These known pallet feet have the problem that they pull water on a wet storage area. This water can be over the feet to the transport area arrive and placed on stored goods, in particular Cardboard boxes, damage.

Ein erfindungsgemäß hergestellter Palettenfuß weist aufgrund des Anteiles von Gummimaterial eine deutlich bessere Wasserresistenz auf, wobei ein Weiterleiten von Feuchtigkeit an die Transportfläche durch die Palettenfüße verhindert wird. Aufgrund der hohen Dämpfungseigenschaften eines erfindungsgemäß hergestellten Palettenfußes wird auch ein besonders schonender Transport und Lagerung mit der Palette erreichbar.An inventively produced Palettenfuß has due the proportion of rubber material a significantly better Water resistance, passing moisture to the transport surface prevented by the pallet feet becomes. Due to the high damping properties of a Pallet base produced according to the invention is also a particularly gentle transport and storage with the pallet reachable.

Der erfindungsgemäße Palettenfuß kann problemlos mit Holzbrettern zu einer Palette verarbeitet werden. Da herkömmliche Paletten genagelt bzw. mittels Stahlklammern geheftet oder getackert werden, wird durch den erfindungsgemäßen Palettenfuß aufgrund der erhöhten Nagel-Auszugskraft eine besonders zuverlässige, stabile Verbindung erreicht. Darüber hinaus sind erfindungsgemäße Palettenfüße abwasch- sowie desinfizierbar und im Gegensatz zu Holz pilz-, bakterienund schädlingsresistent. Derartige Eigenschaften sind insbesondere für den internationalen Warenverkehr von großer Bedeutung. Beispielsweise in den USA und in die EU dürfen aus bestimmten Ländern nur desinfizierbare Transportträger eingeführt werden, um einem unerwünschten Eindringen von Keimen oder Schädlingen vorzubeugen.The pallet foot according to the invention can be easily used with wooden boards to be processed into a palette. Because conventional Pallets nailed or stapled using steel clamps or stapled, is by the pallet foot according to the invention a special one due to the increased nail pull-out force reliable, stable connection achieved. About that In addition, pallet feet according to the invention are washable as well disinfectable and unlike wood fungi, bacteria and pest resistant. Such properties are in particular for the international movement of goods of great Importance. For example, in the US and the EU may only disinfectable transport carriers from certain countries be introduced to prevent unwanted intrusion Prevent germs or pests.

Ein weiterer Aspekt der Erfindung besteht darin, dass der Formkörper als Paneel ausgeführt ist. Ein derartiges Paneel kann durch Extrusion und gewünschtes Ablängen hergestellt werden. Das Paneel kann als Brett für verschiedenste Aufgaben eingesetzt werden, wobei sich die zuvor beschriebenen Vorteile ergeben. Another aspect of the invention is that the Molded body is designed as a panel. Such a panel can be made by extrusion and desired cutting to length become. The panel can be used as a board for various purposes Tasks are used, with the previously described Benefits arise.

Ein weiterer Vorteil der Erfindung liegt in einer Palette, welche aus den zuvor beschriebenen Palettenfüßen sowie den zuvor beschriebenen Paneelen gefertigt ist. Die Palette ist damit aus Bestandteilen gemäß dem erfindungsgemäßen Formkörper hergestellt. Es ergeben sich somit für eine Palette die zuvor beschriebenen Vorteile hinsichtlich Wasserbeständigkeit, Festigkeit, Dämpfungseigenschaften, Verarbeitbarkeit sowie Reinigungs- und Desinfektionsmöglichkeit. Darüber hinaus kann die Palette problemlos recyclet werden, indem diese geschreddert und das geschredderte Material durch Aufheizen erneut zu Formkörpern verarbeitet wird. Das Aufheizen und Informpressen kann dabei mittels eines Extruders durchgeführt werden, so dass durch einfaches Schreddern und Extrudieren ein sehr kostengünstiges Recycling gewährleistet ist.Another advantage of the invention lies in a pallet, which from the previously described pallet feet and the previously described panels is made. The palette is thus from constituents according to the inventive molding produced. This results in a palette the advantages described above regarding water resistance, Strength, damping properties, processability as well as cleaning and disinfection. About that In addition, the pallet can be easily recycled, by shredding these and the shredded material is re-processed by heating to form bodies. The Heating up and informing can be done by means of an extruder be done so that by simply shredding and extrude a very inexpensive recycling is guaranteed.

Dies stellt einen erheblichen wirtschaftlichen und ökologischen Vorteil dar, weil Paletten in sehr großen Mengen benötigt werden. Allein in der Bundesrepublik Deutschland werden jedes Jahr ca. 30 Millionen neue Euro-Paletten hergestellt. Die Lebensdauer einer herkömmlichen Euro-Palette beträgt etwa vier bis sieben Umläufe. Danach ist die herkömmliche Euro-Palette zu stark beschädigt und muss als Abfall entsorgt werden. Aufgrund der besseren Festigkeitseigenschaften ist eine erhebliche Verlängerung der Lebensdauer einer Palette möglich.This represents a significant economic and environmental Advantage is because pallets needed in very large quantities become. Alone in the Federal Republic of Germany Every year, around 30 million new Euro pallets are produced. The life span of a conventional Euro pallet is about four to seven rounds. After that is the conventional one Euro pallet too badly damaged and must as Waste to be disposed of. Due to the better strength properties is a significant life extension a pallet possible.

Weiterhin ist mit der erfindungsgemäßen Palette gegenüber den bisherigen Holzpaletten ein geschlossener Recyclingkreislauf möglich. Bei den zuvor genannten Mengen schont dies in ganz erheblichem Maße die Resourcen und vermindert drastisch den entstehenden Abfall. Furthermore, compared with the pallet according to the invention the previous wooden pallets a closed recycling cycle possible. Spares on the above quantities this to a very considerable extent the resources and diminished drastically the resulting waste.

Die Palette kann grundsätzlich aus den erfindungsgemäßen Palettenfüßen und den erfindungsgemäßen Paneelen in herkömmlicher Weise genagelt oder getackert werden. Wie bereits zuvor beschrieben, wird bei der erfindungsgemäßen Palette sogar eine sehr feste Verbindung zwischen den einzelnen Bestandteilen erreicht, weil die erfindungsgemäßen Formkörper eine sehr hohe Nagel-Auszugskraft aufweisen. Besonders bevorzugt ist es jedoch, eine erfindungsgemäße Palette zu fertigen, bei der die Palettenfüße und die Paneele ausschließlich miteinander verklebt sind. Im Gegensatz zu Holzbauteilen lassen sich die erfindungsgemäßen Formkörper zuverlässig mit definierten Oberflächen herstellen, welche für eine Klebeverbindung geeignet und auch notwendig sind. Das Verkleben der einzelnen Bauteile lässt sich sehr gut automatisieren und ist damit für das Massengut einer Palette besonders wirtschaftlich.The range can in principle be made from the invention Pallet feet and the panels of the invention in conventional Be nailed or stapled way. As already previously described, in the inventive Palette even a very firm connection between the individual Ingredients achieved because the inventive Shaped body have a very high nail extraction force. However, it is particularly preferred to use an inventive Pallet to manufacture, in which the pallet feet and the Panels are glued together exclusively. In contrast to wood components can be the invention Moldings reliable with defined surfaces which are suitable for an adhesive bond and also necessary. The bonding of the individual components can be automated very well and is therefore for that Bulk of a pallet particularly economical.

Darüber hinaus ist eine Palette, welche ausschließlich aus den erfindungsgemäßen Formkörpern besteht und auch keine metallischen Verbindungselemente aufweist, besonders gut recycelbar. Diese kann einfach geschreddert und das geschredderte Material weitgehend ohne jede Aufbereitung einem weiteren thermischen Formgebungsprozess zugeführt werden, in welchem Formteile für neue Paletten gefertigt werden.In addition, a pallet made exclusively from the shaped bodies according to the invention and also none has metallic fasteners, especially good recyclable. This can easily be shredded and shredded Material largely without any processing one be fed to another thermal shaping process, in which moldings are manufactured for new pallets.

Die Erfindung betrifft weiter ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Formkörpers, welches dadurch gekennzeichnet ist, dass ein Formkörper aus einer Materialmischung gemäß den vorstehenden Ausführungen gepresst oder extrudiert wird. Die Formgebung durch Pressen kann durch eine Hubpresse durchgeführt werden, welche eine vorgegebene Materialmenge mittels eines Presskolbens in eine gewünschte Form presst. Dieses Verfahren ist insbesondere für einfache Bauteile, beispielsweise für Palettenfüße, geeignet. The invention further relates to a process for the preparation a shaped body which is characterized a shaped body made of a material mixture according to pressed or extruded above. The shaping by pressing can be done by a lifting press are performed, which a predetermined amount of material pressed into a desired shape by means of a plunger. This method is especially for simple components, for example, for pallet feet, suitable.

Für die Herstellung von Paneelen, Rohren, Leisten oder anderen Strangmaterialien ist die Herstellung durch Extrudieren am wirtschaftlichsten. Bei dem kontinuierlichen Extrusionsverfahren wird die erfindungsmäße Materialmischung durch eine entsprechende Formplatte am Ausgang eines Extruders gedrückt, wobei der Extrusionsstrang zu bestimmten Zeitpunkten abgelängt wird.For the production of panels, pipes, strips or others Strand materials is the production by extrusion most economical. In the continuous extrusion process is the erfindungsmäße material mixture through a corresponding mold plate at the exit of an extruder pressed, with the extrusion line to certain Time is cut to length.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren wird die Temperatur der Materialmischung auf einen Wert eingestellt, welcher oberhalb der Schmelztemperatur des Thermoplasten liegt. Die Temperatur ist so gewählt, das eine thermische Schädigung des Gummimateriales vermieden und eine gut formbare Mischung gebildet wird. Aufgrund der Materialeigenschaft des Gummis bleibt der Formkörper mit seinen Oberflächen sehr griffig.In the method according to the invention, the temperature of the Material mixture adjusted to a value above which the melting temperature of the thermoplastic is. The Temperature is chosen to cause thermal damage avoided the rubber material and a good mouldable mixture is formed. Due to the material property of the Rubbers remain very much the mold body with its surfaces grippy.

Nach der Erfindung wird eine besonders hohe Rutschfestigkeit dadurch erreicht, dass zumindest eine Oberfläche des Formkörpers nach dem Pressen oder Extrudieren aufgeraut wird. Dies kann durch Einformen einer Oberflächenstruktur mittels einer Walze oder Bürste in den noch nicht vollständig erhärteten Formkörper oder durch eine Material abtragende Oberflächenbearbeitung, beispielsweise Schleifen, erfolgen.According to the invention, a particularly high slip resistance achieved in that at least one surface of the Roughened body after pressing or extruding becomes. This can be done by molding a surface structure by means of a roller or brush in the not yet complete hardened moldings or by a material erosive Surface treatment, for example grinding, respectively.

Die Erfindung wird nachfolgend anhand einer einzigen Zeichnung weiter erläutert, welche schematisch eine perspektivische Ansicht einer gemäß der Erfindung hergestellten Palette zeigt.The invention will now be described with reference to a single drawing further explained, which schematically a perspective View of a pallet made according to the invention shows.

Die erfindungsgemäße Palette 10 weist in ihrem unteren Bereich drei parallel zueinander versetzt angeordnete Fußpaneele 12 auf, auf welchen jeweils drei Palettenfüße 14 befestigt sind. Auf den jeweils drei miteinander verbundenen, quaderförmigen Palettenfüßen 14 ist jeweils ein sogenanntes Zwischenpaneel 16 angebracht. Das Zwischenpaneel 16 entspricht in seiner Länge und Breite dem zuvor beschriebenen Fußpaneel 12.The pallet 10 according to the invention has in its lower region three offset parallel to each other foot panels 12, on each of which three pallet feet 14 are attached. On each of the three interconnected, cuboid pallet feet 14 is each a so-called Zwischenpaneel 16 attached. The intermediate panel 16 corresponds in length and width to those described above Foot panel 12.

Auf den Zwischenpaneelen 16 sind in Querrichtung dazu Deckpaneele 18 befestigt, welche die Transport- oder Ablagefläche der Palette 10 bilden. Durch die beschriebene Anordnung werden zwischen den einzelnen Palettenfüßen 14 und den daran angebrachten Fußpaneelen 12 und Zwischenpaneelen 16 zwei Aufnahmeräume geschaffen, in welche die Gabeln eines sogenannten Gabelstaplers zum Anheben und Transportieren der Palette 10 eingreifen können.On the intermediate panels 16 are in the transverse direction to cover panels 18 attached, which is the transport or storage area the pallet 10 form. By the described arrangement be between the individual pallet feet 14 and the it attached foot panels 12 and intermediate panels 16 two Reception spaces created, in which the forks of a so-called Forklift for lifting and transporting the Pallet 10 can intervene.

Bei der Palette 10 sind zumindest die Palettenfüße 14 als ein erfindungsgemäßer Formkörper ausgebildet, welcher einen definierten Anteil einer Gummimischung aus Fahrzeugreifen aufweist. Hierdurch sind die Palettenfüße 14 wasserresistent, formstabil und haben eine hohe Dämpfungseigenschaft. Bereits bei Verwendung lediglich von erfindungsgemäßen Palettenfüßen 14 in Kombination mit herkömmlichen Holzpaneelen kann die Lebensdauer der Palette 10 sowie deren Feuchtigkeitsbeständigkeit erheblich verbessert werden.In the pallet 10, at least the pallet feet 14 as an inventive shaped body is formed, which has a defined proportion of a rubber compound of vehicle tires having. As a result, the pallet feet 14 are water resistant, dimensionally stable and have a high damping property. Already when using only inventive Pallet feet 14 in combination with conventional wooden panels can the life of the pallet 10 as well as their Moisture resistance can be significantly improved.

Bevorzugt ist es nach der Erfindung, dass nicht nur die Palettenfüße 14, sondern alle Paneele 12, 16, 18 als erfindungsgemäßer Formkörper aus derselben Materialmischung gefertigt sind.It is preferred according to the invention that not only the Pallet feet 14, but all the panels 12, 16, 18 as inventive Shaped body of the same material mixture are made.

Dies erhöht weiter die Lebensdauer und den Nutzzweck der Palette 10 und ermöglicht einen einfachen, wirtschaftlich geschlossenen Recyclingkreislauf, insbesondere wenn die einzelnen Bauteile der Palette 10 nicht mit Nägeln oder Klammern verbunden, sondern erfindungsgemäß verklebt sind.This further increases the life and the utility of the Range 10 and allows a simple, economical Closed loop recycling, especially if the individual components of the pallet 10 not with nails or Clamps connected, but glued according to the invention.
