Definitions

  • the invention relates to a wall panel for a box pallet, which box pallet comprises:
  • Such a wall panel is known.
  • all connections between the components are carried out by making use of rivets, whereby assembly of the wall panel is labour-intensive.
  • the known wall panel further makes use of first profiles having relatively complex forms, the cross-section of which varies with the longitudinal position, normally in a periodic alternation.
  • the box pallet is hereby limited to standard dimensions and, although possible, it is difficult and expensive to manufacture box pallets in a different dimensioning desired by a customer.
  • the invention proposes a wall panel of the type referred to in the preamble which has the feature that each first profile has a prismatic, general U-shape, wherein the legs of the U extend over the side surfaces of the laths and are coupled thereto.
  • the wall panel has the feature that the legs of the U are coupled to the laths by means of glueing.
  • the wall panel has the feature that the ends of the legs of the U have respective inward bent edges which engage in two slits arranged on the relevant sides in the end zones of the laths. Slits are arranged in a lath on both sides by sawing or milling. The lath is then pushed into the first profile, wherein the inward bent edges engage in the slits.
  • the material of the laths in particular wood, are under strain of shear along the full width. Depending on the type of wood and the length of the wood fibres under strain of shear, there results a strength which is greater than the strength of the wall panels according to the prior art.
  • the wall panel has the feature that each lath is strengthened in the region of the first profiles by impregnation with a curing plastic or glue. The shear strength is thereby increased. The impregnation is carried out such that a vacuum is created on the end surface such that the reinforcing plastic or glue is drawn into the wood.
  • connection to the U-profile with inward bent edges which engage in slits has the advantage that the process of manufacturing the wall panel can be readily adjusted to large industrial scale. Not only is assembly very simple, but the dimensions of the walls and also the number of laths in a wall can also be chosen with almost complete freedom.
  • the wall panel has the feature that in the region of each first profile spacers are placed between the laths.
  • This variant is preferably embodied such that each spacer engages on both inward bent edges of the first profiles.
  • the wall panel can be embodied such that the position of each lath relative to each first profile is fixed by a fixation element extending inward from the outside.
  • fixation element comprises a screw, nail or pointed pin.
  • fixation element consists of an inward punched beaded edge which is formed by pressing a pointed pin in the region of a lath through the body of a first profile such that said beaded edge is formed around the thus created perforation, whereafter the pin is removed, this such that the beaded edge extends into the material of the lath.
  • the wall panel is preferably characterized by at least one positioning strip arranged on a first profile and extending on the outer surface thereof for positioning a similar wall panel or a pallet relative to the wall panel.
  • the wall panel has the special feature that two second profiles are connected by means of connecting means to the respective ends of the first profiles, which second profiles form a rectangular framework together with the first profiles.
  • this latter embodiment has the feature that the second profiles are prismatic and have a general U-shape, the inner dimensions and outer dimensions of which are substantially the same as those of the first profiles.
  • the connecting means comprise a third profile in the form of an angle profile which has a general U-shape, the relatively narrow first end of which fits into a first profile and the second end of which has relatively long legs which fit into a second profile, and that both profiles are connected to the third profile by means of a suitable connection.
  • This latter embodiment can in turn advantageously have the feature that both legs of the first profile have a perforation and that said connection consists of a beaded edge formed by preferably first placing a substantially fitting support block in the third profile and then pressing a pointed pin from outside through the perforation in the relevant leg of the third profile such that said beaded edge is formed around the thus created perforation, whereafter the pin is removed such that the beaded edge extends through both said perforations and presses against the edge thereof.
  • the above specified embodiment having the special feature that two second profiles are connected by means of connecting means to the two ends of the first profiles, which second profiles form a rectangular framework together with the first profiles, can comprise in per se known manner a number of engaging elements arranged on vertical end elements, for instance toadstool-shaped elements.
  • the engaging elements in particular the toadstool-shaped elements, are coupled to laths.
  • the present variant can have an increased strength in an embodiment where the engaging elements are arranged on the second profiles.
  • the embodiment of the wall panel as described above which has the feature that the second profiles are prismatic and have a general U-shape, the inner dimensions and outer dimensions of which are substantially the same as those of the first profiles, can advantageously have the special feature that the engaging elements extend via perforations through both legs of the second profiles and are fixed in the manner of a rivet by means of a beaded edge.
  • This latter variant can in turn advantageously have the feature that in the region of both the lower third profile and the upper third profile an engaging element is arranged extending therethrough via perforations.
  • the latter described two variants can advantageously have the feature that the engaging elements are arranged mirror-symmetrically relative to a horizontal central plane of the wall panel such that the second profiles can also be used in upside-down position.
  • a very simple and reliable coupling of a wall panel to a pallet or another wall panel is obtained with a variant in which the wall panel can be coupled by means of a number of coupling hooks to the pallet or a similar wall panel, each of which coupling hooks can occupy a stable rest position and a stable coupling position under the influence of spring means, in which coupling position a coupling hook is in hooking co-action with respectively the pallet or the upper first profile of a similar wall panel placed below the wall panel, for instance via perforations arranged in this upper first profile.
  • the wall panel can be embodied such that the profiles consist of stainless steel.
  • the wall panel can have the special feature that the profiles consist of Sendzimir galvanized steel.
  • Box pallet 1 comprises a rectangular pallet 2 which serves as support base and comprises a lath base 3, the laths 4 of which are mutually connected by cross-laths 5, and a number of supports 6 for placing pallet 2 on a ground such that a space 7 remains clear under lath base 3, such that pallet 2 can be lifted by means of for instance a fork-lift truck.
  • Box pallet 1 further comprises four standing wall panels 8, 9, 10, 11 which are releasably coupled to pallet 2 and to each other.
  • Each wall panel 8, 9, 10, 11 comprises a number of mutually parallel vertical laths held at chosen mutual distances by two metal horizontal first profiles 13, 14 which are coupled non-releasably to the respective ends of laths 12.
  • the first profiles 13, 14 have an extended vertical dimension in the region of laths 12. In these regions, the coupling zones, the laths are connected non-releasably via perforations to the lengthened parts of the first profiles by means of rivets extending therethrough.
  • First profiles 13, 14 thus have a cross-sectional shape which varies periodically with the longitudinal position.
  • the lower first profiles 13 have clamps 15 for coupling to respectively laths 4 and/or 5 such that wall panels 8, 9, 10, 11 can be coupled to pallet 2.
  • toadstool-shaped coupling elements 35 on wall panels 9, 11 which can co-act with connecting elements 16 on wall panels 8, 10 which are provided with complementary slots, the four wall panels 8, 9, 10, 11 can also be firmly connected to each other.
  • Box pallet 1 thus forms a robust unit of pallet 2 and wall panels 8, 9, 10, 11.
  • Fig. 3 shows a box pallet 21.
  • This latter comprises a generally rectangular pallet 2 serving as support base, comprising in this case a lath base 3, the laths 4 of which are mutually connected by cross-laths 5, and a number of supports 6 for placing pallet 2 on a ground such that some space 7 remains clear under lath base 3, such that pallet 2 can be lifted by means of a fork-lift truck or other lifting means, and four standing wall panels 28, 29, 30, 31 which are releasably coupled to pallet 2 and to each other by means of coupling means to be further described.
  • Each wall panel 28-31 comprises a number of mutually parallel vertical laths 312 held at chosen mutual distance by two metal horizontal first profiles 33, 34 which are coupled non-releasably to the respective ends of laths 312.
  • Each first profile 33, 34 has a prismatic, general U-shape, wherein the legs of the U extend over the side surfaces of laths 312 and are coupled thereto.
  • prismatic is understood to mean a shape with a cross-section which is identical at any longitudinal position.
  • the invention is essentially distinguished in this sense from the described prior art as according to Fig. 1 and 2, wherein the horizontal first profiles 13, 14 have a cross-section which in this case varies periodically with the longitudinal position. These prior art first profiles 13, 14 are therefore not prismatic.
  • Fig. 4 shows an embodiment in which the front panel consists of two half-panels which are placed one above the other and which are of identical construction. So as to realize such an option, each sub-wall panel 28', 28" and each whole wall panel 29, 30, 31 has in this embodiment two positioning strips 48 on both the lower profile 33 and the upper profile 34 for positioning the relevant (sub-)wall panel of a similar wall panel or a pallet.
  • Fig. 5 shows an exploded view elucidating the structure of box pallet 21 according to Fig. 3.
  • Fig. 6 shows box pallet 21 on relatively small scale with a number of constituent parts therein on enlarged scale for the purpose of elucidating a number of aspects of the invention. These parts will all be discussed below.
  • Fig. 7 shows an important aspect of the invention.
  • the ends of legs 35, 36 of the U of a first profile 33, 34 have respective inward bent edges 37, 38 which engage in two slits 39, 40 arranged in end zones 41 of laths 12 on the relevant sides 42, 43.
  • the laths 12 can be brought by sliding into coupling co-action with profiles 33, 34.
  • Fig. 8 shows the manner in which a wall panel 28 can be under strain of shear for the purpose of testing its shear strength.
  • the panel 28 is suspended in the one corner 101 of the panel, while a tensile load 103 is applied to the diagonally opposite corner 102.
  • the loading force is indicated with vector 104.
  • This loading force is resolved into a force component 105 extending in longitudinal direction of laths 12 and a transverse component 106 extending in longitudinal direction of profiles 33, 34.
  • Tests have shown that with the construction of Fig. 7 a shear strength is realized which is greater than the strength of the prior art panel, see Fig. 1 and 2.
  • Fig. 9 shows that spacers 45 can be placed between laths 12 in the region of each first profile 34.
  • each lath 12 relative to each first profile 34 is preferably fixed by a fixation element 46 extending inward from outside.
  • Fig. 10 shows that the fixation element can consist of an inward punched edge 46 which is formed by pressing a pointed pin 47 downward as according to arrow 111 through body 148 of a first profile 34 in the region of a lath 12 such that said edge 46 is formed around the thus created perforation 248. Pin 47 is then removed, this such that edge 46 extends into the material of lath 12. A non-releasable connection is thus ensured.
  • each wall panel in the drawn embodiments has at least one positioning strip 48 arranged on first profile 33, 34 and extending on the outer surface thereof for the purpose of positioning a similar wall panel or a pallet 2 relative to wall panel 28-31.
  • Fig. 11 and Fig. 6 show that strip 48 has a general C-shape adapted to the inner shape of profile 33, 34, and has in the region of body 148 of profile 34 a perforation 112 which is used for unbreakable coupling of strip 48 to profile 34.
  • a pointed pin can be placed through body 148 in the region of perforation 112, whereby an inward directed fixation edge 113 is created, whereby strip 48 is inseparably connected to profile 34.
  • strip 48 is placed in profile 34 through a slot-like perforation 114.
  • strip 48 has an oblique starting edge 161, thus ensuring easy positioning.
  • Fig. 12 shows an embodiment in which two second profiles 51, 52 are connected by means of connecting means 53, to be described below, to the respective ends of the first profiles 33, 34, which second profiles form together with the first profiles the rectangular frame shown in Fig. 12.
  • the second profiles 51, 52 are prismatic and have a general U-shape, the inner dimensions and outer dimensions of which are substantially the same as those of first profiles 33, 34.
  • Fig. 13 shows on enlarged scale the construction of box pallet 21' as according to Fig. 4.
  • Fig. 14, 15, 16, 17 show that said connecting means comprise a third profile 53 in the form of an angle profile having a general U-shape, the relatively narrow first end 54 of which fits into a first profile 34 and the second end 55 of which has two relatively long legs which fit into a second profile (not shown).
  • Both profiles 33, 34; 51, 52 are connected to the third profile by means of a suitable connection.
  • Both legs of first profile 34 are provided with a perforation in a manner to be described below and said connection consists of an edge formed by pressing a pointed pin 56 from outside through a perforation 57 in the relevant leg of the third profile 53 such that said edge is formed in the region of the thus created perforation 57. Pin 56 is then removed such that the edge extends through both said perforations and presses against the edge thereof.
  • Fig. 14, 15, 16, 17 show the described structure and operations. Arrows 115 indicate the direction in which the pins 56 are pressed through profile 34.
  • a profile i.e. a first, a second or a third profile
  • the third profile can be additionally fixed to the first profile and the third profile to the second profile making use of a deforming operation as according to Fig. 18 and 19.
  • This additional fixing is brought about by bending inward the edges 37, 38 of the first profile.
  • This deforming operation takes place using a schematically drawn pressing tool 131, which according to Fig. 18 is moved downward as according to arrow 132 and thus bends the edges 37, 38 inward to the bent shapes designated 37', 38'.
  • Fig. 20 and 21 show that on vertical profiles 51, and in this case also on the horizontal profiles 34, there are arranged toadstool-shaped engaging elements 59, as according to these figures, in the connecting corners.
  • the toadstool-shaped elements 59 comprise a shank 201, a slightly widened portion 202 and a substantial widening 203.
  • the shank fits through perforations 204-206 and, with a relatively narrow end zone 208, through a relatively small perforation 208 in respectively the second profile 51 and third profile 53, although the widened portion 202 is too wide to pass through perforation 204, whereby the widened portion 202 remains protruding as a shank outside the third profile 51.
  • toadstool 59 protrudes just sufficiently outside the rear side of the second profile 51 to be provided in the manner of a rivet with a beaded edge by means of a punching operation, whereby a firm fixation results.
  • second profile 51 and third profile 53 there are also arranged respective perforations 205', 206' which can also serve for positioning a toadstool 59.
  • third profile 53 on both the top side and on the underside of the wall panel.
  • the toadstools on the upper and underside are at different distances from the outside. The holes at the different positions are necessary in order to ensure full interchangeability of the known system and the system according to the invention and to still only need to use one type of third profile.
  • the engaging elements 59 can be arranged mirror-symmetrically relative to a horizontal central plane of a wall panel 28, 31.
  • the relevant second profiles can hereby be used in upside-down position.
  • a toadstool 59 is also situated in the central zone of the wall panel.
  • Fig. 24, 25 and 26 show that fixing brackets 71, 72 respectively can be arranged on the ends of the first profiles 33, 34 for coupling to toadstools 59.
  • Fig. 13 among others shows the manner in which said coupling can be realized.
  • the respective slots 251, 252 in fixing brackets 71, 72 fit over the widened portion 202 of toadstool 59.
  • the button or the widest outer end 203 fits inside the general U-shape of brackets 71, 72.
  • Fig. 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32 show the structure of coupling hook 61 with the associated components.
  • Fig. 27 shows the coupling position in which hook 61 is coupled as according to Fig. 33, 34 to respectively a pallet 2 or the profile 34 of another wall panel.
  • Fig. 28 shows the open position in which the hook is at rest and ready to be displaced to its coupling position.
  • Fig. 29 shows the actual hook which can co-act by means of a hinge pin 271 with a bracket 74 as shown in Fig. 30.
  • a control lip 272 which extends to the side of hinge pin 271 and which can be pushed for instance with the thumb to move the hook out of its coupling position to its rest position, and vice versa.
  • hook 61 is built up of a strip of metal with multiple bends.
  • a double, inward punched arm 273 encloses hinge pin 271 clampingly and also co-acts with spring means consisting of rubber block 62 and tin cover plate 73.
  • both the hooking position and the rest position are stable positions and that, in order to move hook 61 from the one position to the other, the free end 274 of hook 61 must pass over spring means 62, 73 while being temporarily pressed in. This therefore defines two stable positions.
  • Fig. 33 and 34 finally show the operative position of hook 61, respectively in the situation where hook 61 co-acts with a pallet 2 and a profile 34 via respectively the underside of a lath 4 and while hooking into perforations 362 of a profile 34.
  • the hooking connection can be released by pressing against control lip 272 as according to arrow 276.
  • the hook 61 with accessories can be readily connected to profile 33 in that the bracket 74 can be pushed fittingly into the profile.
  • the described spring means 62, 73 comprise respectively the rubber-elastic block and the tin cover plate 73, which fulfils the function of protecting rubber block 62 against wear. With repeated sliding of the rounded edge 274, this block 62 could otherwise be subject to premature wear.
