  • transport pallets are used to transport several cargo together.
  • the piece goods can be fixed on the transport pallet, for example by being wrapped in foil.
  • the dimensions of the transport pallets are standardized in order to make them usable in a variety of application areas. Due to the standardized dimensions, empty pallets can be easily stacked.
  • loading a transport pallet with piece goods usually does not create a flat top surface on which another pallet could be safely stacked. Rather, such loaded pallets can only be stored and transported next to each other, which means a considerable amount of space.
  • the strip-shaped elements are quite expensive to mount at appropriate positions on horizontal edges of the walls, so that the known unit can be used only after performing complex assembly steps for stacking another pallet.
  • FR 2 669 302 A1 There is also known an arrangement comprising a pallet and a corrugated cardboard container or container mounted on the pallet.

  • the device according to the invention for stacking transport pallets, in particular flat pallets, by means of which at least two transport pallets can be stacked on top of one another is characterized by the fact that they are suitable for a means for securing a first transport pallet and the other means for holding another transport pallet, wherein the fastening means and the holding means are arranged vertically spaced from each other.
  • the device according to the invention is further distinguished by the fact that the holding means have rather vertical support legs, by means of which horizontal holding legs of the holding means can be supported on vertically aligned frame walls of a frame of the stacking device, and in that the more vertical support legs have insertion tabs which insert into the vertically aligned Frame walls of the frame of the stacking device can be inserted.
  • the holding means have more vertical support legs, by means of which horizontal holding leg of the holding means can be supported on vertically aligned frame walls of a frame of the stacking device.
  • the upper of the transport pallets loaded with a cargo can be stacked on the stacking device advantageous.
  • loads up to 250 kg present present no problem.
  • the more vertical support legs have insertion tabs which can be inserted into Einstecknuten the vertically aligned frame walls of the frame of the stacking device, the holding means can be designed to be particularly stable.
  • first transport pallet which is ideally attached to the stacking device
  • second transport pallet an intermediate volume in which a Transport goods of the first transport pallet can be accommodated.
  • two transport pallets are transported stacked stacked, although in particular the lower of the two transport pallets is already loaded with a cargo.
  • transport pallet in this case essentially describes any pallets on which a cargo or goods to be transported can be placed on a correspondingly flat cargo bed and can be transported together with the pallet or can.
  • These are generally reusable flat pallets, such as euro pallets from the Europool exchange system with a base area of 0.96 m 2 and the dimensions 1200 x 800 x 144 mm.
  • existing transport pallets may also have deviating dimensions.
  • attachment means and the holding means are arranged more than 20 cm, preferably more than 50 cm, vertically spaced from one another.
  • the object of the invention is also achieved by an arrangement of a first transport pallet, at least one further transport pallet and a device for stacking the transport pallets, wherein the transport pallets are arranged vertically stacked, and between two transport pallets a transport volume for arranging transport goods is arranged.
  • the stacking device has a frame with vertically aligned frame walls, wherein both the fastening means and the holding means are arranged on the frame.
  • the stacking device can be provided structurally particularly simple.
  • the vertically aligned frame walls can limit the intermediate volume described above well, while the intermediate volume below and above each of a Transport pallet is included.
  • the frame can in this case preferably be placed from above on an already loaded transport pallet and then comprise this transport pallet concentrically in the form of a transport pallet ring.
  • both the fastening means and the holding means can be realized in different ways on the stacking device.
  • they are realized on the frame of the stacking device by external components or groups of components.
  • the fastening means can be provided in a structurally particularly simple manner if the fastening means can be configured by a frame of the stacking device.
  • an advantageous embodiment provides that advantageously also the holding means of a frame of the stacking device can be ausgestaltbar.
  • the fastening means are arranged on a lower frame side.
  • the stacking device can be easily attached to a lower, preferably already loaded with a cargo transport pallet.
  • the fastening means can be structurally particularly simple.
  • the fastening legs can advantageously already be stamped on the frame walls, so that they can be easily issued manually from the vertical wall level out.
  • a particularly good and reliable connection between a transport pallet and the stacking device can be achieved if the Mounting legs are arranged in the frame of the stacking device folded on the vertically aligned frame walls. For example, the fastening legs are manually pressed inwards.
  • fastening legs can be folded under a pallet loading surface and / or between pallet feet of a transport pallet on the frame of the stacking device. In this way can be made structurally particularly simple and fast form-fitting between the stacking device and the transport pallet, by means of which the stacking device and the transport pallet are reliably connected to each other.
  • first transport pallet may be advantageously secured to the stacking device by means of the attachment means on a lower frame side
  • another pallet may be advantageously spaced therefrom on the stacking device when the support means are disposed on an upper frame side of a frame of the stacking device.
  • the holding means horizontal holding leg which arranged from vertical wall levels of vertically aligned frame walls of a frame of the stacking device arranged on the frame of the stacking device are, the holding means can be designed structurally simple on the stacking device.
  • the upper transport pallet can also be arranged very reliable on the stacking device above the lower transport pallet when the horizontal support leg forming shelves on which a transport pallet can be parked.
  • An exceptionally good lateral support can be experienced by the upper of the transport pallets on the stacking device when the horizontal holding legs are arranged below an upper frame edge of the stacking device. So can upper Edge regions of the stacking device support and stabilize the side parked on the horizontal support legs transport pallet well.
  • Self-loaded transport pallets which are stacked on top of each other by means of the stacking device, can be advantageously transported by a suitably suitable material handling equipment, such as a forklift or a lift truck, if the stacking device has openings for receiving a lifting device for transport pallets. These openings can be structurally easily formed on the stacking device by the mounting legs are pressed in manually or by a fork of a forklift inward.
  • the present stacking device can be made of many materials. It is particularly advantageous if the stacking device is made of cardboard, in particular of corrugated cardboard, since this is simple, easy and inexpensive to implement. In particular, corrugated board can be easily prefabricated, also lightweight and relatively stable provided. Since the features in connection with a stacking device produced in particular from corrugated cardboard already advantageously develop conventional stacking devices, these features are also advantageous without the other features of the present invention.

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft einerseits eine Vorrichtung zum Stapeln von Transportpaletten, insbesondere von Flachpaletten, mittels welcher wenigstens zwei Transportpaletten übereinander gestapelt werden können, gemäß dem Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1. Andererseits betrifft die Erfindung eine Anordnung aus einer ersten Transportpalette, wenigstens einer weiteren Transportpalette und einer solchen Vorrichtung zum Stapeln der Transportpaletten, wobei die Transportpaletten vertikal übereinander gestapelt angeordnet sind.The invention relates on the one hand to a device for stacking transport pallets, in particular flat pallets, by means of which at least two transport pallets can be stacked one above the other, according to the preamble of claim 1. On the other hand, the invention relates to an arrangement of a first transport pallet, at least one further transport pallet and such Device for stacking the transport pallets, wherein the transport pallets are arranged vertically stacked one above the other.

Zum Transport von Stückgütern werden üblicherweise Transportpaletten eingesetzt, um mehrere Stückgüter gemeinsam zu transportieren. Die Stückgüter können auf der Transportpalette fixiert werden, indem sie beispielsweise mit Folie umwickelt werden. Die Dimensionen der Transportpaletten sind standardisiert, um sie mehrfach auf verschiedensten Anwendungsgebieten einsetzbar zu machen. Aufgrund der standardisierten Abmessungen können leere Paletten auf einfache Weise gestapelt werden. Wird eine Transportpalette mit Stückgütern beladen, bildet sich jedoch üblicherweise keine ebene obere Fläche aus, auf der eine weitere Palette sicher gestapelt werden könnte. Vielmehr können derartig beladene Paletten nur nebeneinander gelagert und transportiert werden, was einen erheblichen Platzbedarf bedeutet.For the transport of piece goods usually transport pallets are used to transport several cargo together. The piece goods can be fixed on the transport pallet, for example by being wrapped in foil. The dimensions of the transport pallets are standardized in order to make them usable in a variety of application areas. Due to the standardized dimensions, empty pallets can be easily stacked. However, loading a transport pallet with piece goods usually does not create a flat top surface on which another pallet could be safely stacked. Rather, such loaded pallets can only be stored and transported next to each other, which means a considerable amount of space.

Aus der GB 1 101 136 A ist jedoch bekannt, auf eine Palette eine vier Wände umfassende Einheit anzubringen bzw. zu befestigen, die zum einen dafür vorgesehen ist, ein auf der Palette angeordnetes Stückgut während des Transports oder der Lagerung mittels der Wände zu umschließen. Ferner kann auf diese Einheit auch eine weitere Palette gestapelt werden, wobei hierfür an den jeweiligen gegeneinander verschwenkbaren Wänden zusätzliche streifenförmige Elemente vorgesehen sind, auf welcher die weitere Palette angeordnet werden kann, wobei die streifenförmigen Elemente an den oberen horizontalen Rändern der Wände derart einhängbar sind , dass sie sich jeweils horizontal von einer Wand bis zu einer benachbarten Wand erstrecken. Insgesamt gesehen ist es bei dieser bekannten Lösung erforderlich, die Wände der Einheit zunächst derart relativ zueinander anzuordnen, dass sie ein Aufstapeln der weiteren Palette möglich machen. Anschließend sind recht aufwendig die streifenförmigen Elemente an geeigneten Positionen an horizontalen Rändern der Wände einzuhängen, so dass die bekannte Einheit nur nach Durchführung aufwendiger Montageschritte für das Aufstapeln einer weiteren Palette verwendet werden kann. Aus der FR 2 669 302 A1 ist ferner eine Anordnung bekannt, die eine Palette und einen auf der Palette anbringbaren Behälter bzw. Container aus Wellpappe umfasst. Ferner sind aus der FR 2 627 746 A1 seinseitig offene Container bzw. Behälter aus Wellpappe bekannt, die durch Vorsehen von Stapelflächen an vorstehenden Randbereichen übereinander stapelbar sind.From the GB 1 101 136 A However, it is known to attach or fasten on a pallet a four-unit unit, which is intended on the one hand, arranged on the pallet cargo during transport or enclose the storage by means of the walls. Furthermore, a further pallet can be stacked on this unit, for which purpose additional strip-shaped elements are provided on the respective mutually pivotable walls, on which the further pallet can be arranged, wherein the strip-shaped elements can be suspended from the upper horizontal edges of the walls in such a way, that they each extend horizontally from a wall to an adjacent wall. Overall, it is necessary in this known solution to initially arrange the walls of the unit so relative to each other that they make a stacking of the other range possible. Subsequently, the strip-shaped elements are quite expensive to mount at appropriate positions on horizontal edges of the walls, so that the known unit can be used only after performing complex assembly steps for stacking another pallet. From the FR 2 669 302 A1 There is also known an arrangement comprising a pallet and a corrugated cardboard container or container mounted on the pallet. Furthermore, from the FR 2 627 746 A1 open sided container or container made of corrugated cardboard, which are stacked by providing stacking surfaces at projecting edge regions.

Es ist daher die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Vorrichtung zum Stapeln von beladenen Transportpaletten bereitzustellen, die eine Alternative zu bekannten Lösungen darstellt und deren Haltemittel zum Halten einer weiteren aufgestapelten Transportpalette eine hohe Belastbarkeit aufweisen.It is therefore the object of the present invention to provide a device for stacking loaded transport pallets, which is an alternative to known solutions and whose holding means for holding a further stacked transport pallet have a high load capacity.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung wird einerseits von einer Vorrichtung zum Stapeln von Transportpaletten mit den Merkmalen des unabhängigen Anspruchs 1 und andererseits von einer Anordnung mit den Merkmalen des unabhängigen Anspruchs 17 gelöst. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen 2 bis 16.The object of the invention is achieved on the one hand by a device for stacking transport pallets with the features of independent claim 1 and on the other hand by an arrangement having the features of independent claim 17. Advantageous developments of the invention will become apparent from the dependent claims 2 to 16.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zum Stapeln von Transportpaletten, insbesondere von Flachpaletten, mittels welcher wenigstens zwei Transportpaletten übereinander gestapelt werden können, zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass sie zum einen Mittel zum Befestigen einer ersten Transportpalette und zum anderen Mittel zum Halten einer weiteren Transportpalette aufweist, wobei die Befestigungsmittel und die Haltemittel vertikal voneinander beabstandet angeordnet sind.The device according to the invention for stacking transport pallets, in particular flat pallets, by means of which at least two transport pallets can be stacked on top of one another, is characterized by the fact that they are suitable for a means for securing a first transport pallet and the other means for holding another transport pallet, wherein the fastening means and the holding means are arranged vertically spaced from each other.

Die erfindungsgemäße Vorrichtung zeichnet sich ferner dadurch aus, dass die Haltemittel eher vertikale Stützschenkel aufweisen, mittels welchen horizontale Halteschenkel der Haltemittel an vertikal ausgerichteten Rahmenwänden eines Rahmens der Stapelvorrichtung abgestützt werden können, und dass die eher vertikalen Stützschenkel Einstecklaschen aufweisen, welche in Einstecknuten der vertikal ausgerichteten Rahmenwände des Rahmens der Stapelvorrichtung einsteckbar sind.The device according to the invention is further distinguished by the fact that the holding means have rather vertical support legs, by means of which horizontal holding legs of the holding means can be supported on vertically aligned frame walls of a frame of the stacking device, and in that the more vertical support legs have insertion tabs which insert into the vertically aligned Frame walls of the frame of the stacking device can be inserted.

Für eine besonders hohe Belastbarkeit der Haltemittel ist es vorteilhaft, dass die Haltemittel eher vertikale Stützschenkel aufweisen, mittels welchen horizontale Halteschenkel der Haltemittel an vertikal ausgerichtete Rahmenwänden eines Rahmens der Stapelvorrichtung abgestützt werden können. Hierdurch kann auch die obere der Transportpaletten mit einem Transportgut beladen an der Stapelvorrichtung vorteilhaft aufgestapelt werden. Insbesondere Lasten bis 250 kg stellen vorliegend kein Problem dar. Dadurch, dass die eher vertikalen Stützschenkel Einstecklaschen aufweisen, welche in Einstecknuten der vertikal ausgerichteten Rahmenwände des Rahmens der Stapelvorrichtung einsteckbar sind, können die Haltemittel besonders stabil ausgelegt werden.For a particularly high load capacity of the holding means, it is advantageous that the holding means have more vertical support legs, by means of which horizontal holding leg of the holding means can be supported on vertically aligned frame walls of a frame of the stacking device. In this way, the upper of the transport pallets loaded with a cargo can be stacked on the stacking device advantageous. In particular, loads up to 250 kg present present no problem. The fact that the more vertical support legs have insertion tabs which can be inserted into Einstecknuten the vertically aligned frame walls of the frame of the stacking device, the holding means can be designed to be particularly stable.

Dadurch, dass die Befestigungsmittel und die Haltemittel vertikal voneinander beabstandet angeordnet sind, ist es möglich, zwischen einer ersten Transportpalette, welche idealerweise an der Stapelvorrichtung befestigt ist, und einer mittels der Haltemittel an der Stapelvorrichtung angeordneten zweiten Transportpalette ein Zwischenvolumen zu schaffen, in welchem ein Transportgut der ersten Transportpalette untergebracht werden kann. Vorteilhafter Weise können hierdurch
zwei Transportpaletten übereinander gestapelt transportiert werden, obwohl insbesondere die untere der beiden Transportpaletten bereits mit einem Transportgut beladen ist.Characterized in that the fastening means and the holding means are arranged vertically spaced from each other, it is possible to provide between a first transport pallet, which is ideally attached to the stacking device, and arranged by means of the holding means on the stacking device second transport pallet an intermediate volume in which a Transport goods of the first transport pallet can be accommodated. Advantageously, thereby
two transport pallets are transported stacked stacked, although in particular the lower of the two transport pallets is already loaded with a cargo.

Der Begriff "Transportpalette" beschreibt hierbei im Wesentlichen jegliche Paletten, auf welchen ein Transportgut bzw. Transportgüter auf einer entsprechend eben ausgebildeten Ladefläche aufgestellt und so mitsamt der Palette transportiert werden kann bzw. können. In der Regel handelt es sich hierbei um mehrwegfähige Flachpaletten, wie etwa Europaletten aus dem Tauschsystem des Europools mit einer Grundfläche von 0,96 m2 und den Maßen 1200 x 800 x 144 mm. Vorliegende Transportpaletten können jedoch auch hiervon abweichende Maße aufweisen.The term "transport pallet" in this case essentially describes any pallets on which a cargo or goods to be transported can be placed on a correspondingly flat cargo bed and can be transported together with the pallet or can. These are generally reusable flat pallets, such as euro pallets from the Europool exchange system with a base area of 0.96 m 2 and the dimensions 1200 x 800 x 144 mm. However, existing transport pallets may also have deviating dimensions.

Um ein ausreichend großes Zwischenvolumen für ein Transportgut zwischen den übereinander gestapelten Transportpaletten bereitstellen zu können, ist es besonders vorteilhaft, wenn die Befestigungsmittel und die Haltemittel mehr als 20 cm, vorzugsweise mehr als 50 cm, vertikal voneinander beabstandet angeordnet sind.In order to be able to provide a sufficiently large intermediate volume for a transport item between the stacked transport pallets, it is particularly advantageous if the attachment means and the holding means are arranged more than 20 cm, preferably more than 50 cm, vertically spaced from one another.

Insbesondere in diesem Zusammenhang wird die Aufgabe der Erfindung auch von einer Anordnung aus einer ersten Transportpalette, wenigstens einer weiteren Transportpalette und einer Vorrichtung zum Stapeln der Transportpaletten gelöst, wobei die Transportpaletten vertikal übereinander gestapelt angeordnet sind, und zwischen zwei Transportpaletten ein Transportvolumen zum Anordnen von Transportgütern angeordnet ist.In particular, in this context, the object of the invention is also achieved by an arrangement of a first transport pallet, at least one further transport pallet and a device for stacking the transport pallets, wherein the transport pallets are arranged vertically stacked, and between two transport pallets a transport volume for arranging transport goods is arranged.

Mittels einer derartigen Anordnung kann die Funktionalität einer Vorrichtung zum Stapeln von Transportpaletten vorteilhaft erweitert werden. Dies gilt insbesondere dann, wenn hinsichtlich einer derartigen Anordnung eine Stapelvorrichtung nach wenigstens einer der hier erläuterten Merkmalskombinationen verwendet wird.By means of such an arrangement, the functionality of a device for stacking transport pallets can advantageously be extended. This applies in particular if, with regard to such an arrangement, a stacking device is used according to at least one of the feature combinations explained here.

Eine bevorzugte Ausführungsvariante sieht vor, dass die Stapelvorrichtung einen Rahmen mit vertikal ausgerichteten Rahmenwänden aufweist, wobei an dem Rahmen sowohl die Befestigungsmittel als auch die Haltemittel angeordnet sind. Mittels eines solchen Rahmens kann die Stapelvorrichtung baulich besonders einfach bereitgestellt werden. Darüber hinaus können die vertikal ausgerichteten Rahmenwände das vorstehend beschriebene Zwischenvolumen seitlich gut begrenzen, während das Zwischenvolumen unten und oben jeweils von einer Transportpalette eingeschlossen ist. Der Rahmen kann hierbei vorzugsweise von oben auf eine bereits beladene Transportpalette aufgesetzt werden und diese Transportpalette dann in Gestalt eines Transportpalettenrings konzentrisch umfassen.A preferred embodiment provides that the stacking device has a frame with vertically aligned frame walls, wherein both the fastening means and the holding means are arranged on the frame. By means of such a frame, the stacking device can be provided structurally particularly simple. In addition, the vertically aligned frame walls can limit the intermediate volume described above well, while the intermediate volume below and above each of a Transport pallet is included. The frame can in this case preferably be placed from above on an already loaded transport pallet and then comprise this transport pallet concentrically in the form of a transport pallet ring.

Es versteht sich, dass sowohl die Befestigungsmittel als auch die Haltemittel in unterschiedlicher Weise an der Stapelvorrichtung realisiert sein können. Beispielsweise sind sie an dem Rahmen der Stapelvorrichtung durch externe Bauteile oder Bauteilgruppen verwirklicht.It is understood that both the fastening means and the holding means can be realized in different ways on the stacking device. For example, they are realized on the frame of the stacking device by external components or groups of components.

Konstruktiv besonders einfach können die Befestigungsmittel jedoch bereitgestellt sein, wenn die Befestigungsmittel von einem Rahmen der Stapelvorrichtung ausgestaltbar sind.However, the fastening means can be provided in a structurally particularly simple manner if the fastening means can be configured by a frame of the stacking device.

Gleiches gilt auch hinsichtlich der Haltemittel, so dass eine vorteilhafte Ausführungsvariante vorsieht, dass vorteilhafter Weise auch die Haltemittel von einem Rahmen der Stapelvorrichtung ausgestaltbar sind.The same also applies to the holding means, so that an advantageous embodiment provides that advantageously also the holding means of a frame of the stacking device can be ausgestaltbar.

Hinsichtlich der Befestigungsmittel ist es des Weiteren vorteilhaft, wenn die Befestigungsmittel an einer unteren Rahmenseite angeordnet sind. Hierdurch lässt sich die Stapelvorrichtung problemlos an einer unteren, vorzugsweise bereits mit einem Transportgut beladenen Transportpalette, befestigen.With regard to the fastening means, it is furthermore advantageous if the fastening means are arranged on a lower frame side. As a result, the stacking device can be easily attached to a lower, preferably already loaded with a cargo transport pallet.

Weisen die Befestigungsmittel Befestigungsschenkel auf, welche aus vertikalen Wandebenen von vertikal ausgerichteten Rahmenwänden eines Rahmens der Stapelvorrichtung ausstellbar an dem Rahmen der Stapelvorrichtung angeordnet sind, können die Befestigungsmittel konstruktiv besonders einfach gestaltet werden. Hierbei können die Befestigungsschenkel vorteilhafter Weise bereits an den Rahmenwänden angestanzt sein, sodass sie manuell einfach aus der vertikalen Wandebene heraus ausgestellt werden können.Assign the attachment means mounting legs, which are arranged from vertical wall levels of vertically aligned frame walls of a frame of the stacking device adjustable on the frame of the stacking device, the fastening means can be structurally particularly simple. In this case, the fastening legs can advantageously already be stamped on the frame walls, so that they can be easily issued manually from the vertical wall level out.

Eine besonders gute und betriebssichere Verbindung zwischen einer Transportpalette und der Stapelvorrichtung kann erzielt werden, wenn die Befestigungsschenkel in den Rahmen der Stapelvorrichtung einklappbar an den vertikal ausgerichteten Rahmenwänden angeordnet sind. Beispielsweise werden die Befestigungsschenkel hierbei händisch nach innen gedrückt.A particularly good and reliable connection between a transport pallet and the stacking device can be achieved if the Mounting legs are arranged in the frame of the stacking device folded on the vertically aligned frame walls. For example, the fastening legs are manually pressed inwards.

Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Befestigungsschenkel unter einer Palettenladefläche und/oder zwischen Palettenfüßen einer Transportpalette einklappbar an dem Rahmen der Stapelvorrichtung angeordnet sind. Hierdurch kann zwischen der Stapelvorrichtung und der Transportpalette baulich besonders einfach und schnell ein Formschluss hergestellt werden, mittels welchem die Stapelvorrichtung und die Transportpalette betriebssicher miteinander verbunden sind.It is particularly advantageous if the fastening legs can be folded under a pallet loading surface and / or between pallet feet of a transport pallet on the frame of the stacking device. In this way can be made structurally particularly simple and fast form-fitting between the stacking device and the transport pallet, by means of which the stacking device and the transport pallet are reliably connected to each other.

Während die erste Transportpalette mittels der Befestigungsmittel an einer unteren Rahmenseite an der Stapelvorrichtung vorteilhaft befestigt werden kann, kann eine weitere Palette hiervon beabstandet vorteilhaft an der Stapelvorrichtung angeordnet werden, wenn die Haltemittel an einer oberen Rahmenseite eines Rahmens der Stapelvorrichtung angeordnet sind.While the first transport pallet may be advantageously secured to the stacking device by means of the attachment means on a lower frame side, another pallet may be advantageously spaced therefrom on the stacking device when the support means are disposed on an upper frame side of a frame of the stacking device.

Weisen die Haltemittel horizontale Halteschenkel auf, welche aus vertikalen Wandebenen von vertikal ausgerichteten Rahmenwänden eines Rahmens der Stapelvorrichtung ausstellbar an dem Rahmen der Stapelvorrichtung angeordnet
sind, können auch die Haltemittel konstruktiv einfach an der Stapelvorrichtung gestaltet werden.Assign the holding means horizontal holding leg, which arranged from vertical wall levels of vertically aligned frame walls of a frame of the stacking device arranged on the frame of the stacking device
are, the holding means can be designed structurally simple on the stacking device.

Die obere Transportpalette kann darüber hinaus sehr betriebssicher an der Stapelvorrichtung oberhalb der unteren Transportpalette angeordnet werden, wenn die horizontalen Halteschenkel Abstellflächen ausbilden, auf welchen eine Transportpalette abgestellt werden kann.The upper transport pallet can also be arranged very reliable on the stacking device above the lower transport pallet when the horizontal support leg forming shelves on which a transport pallet can be parked.

Einen außerordentlich guten Seitenhalt kann die obere der Transportpaletten an der Stapelvorrichtung erfahren, wenn die horizontalen Halteschenkel unterhalb eines oberen Rahmenrands der Stapelvorrichtung angeordnet sind. So können obere Randbereiche der Stapelvorrichtung die auf den horizontalen Halteschenkeln abgestellte Transportpalette seitlich gut abstützen und stabilisieren.An exceptionally good lateral support can be experienced by the upper of the transport pallets on the stacking device when the horizontal holding legs are arranged below an upper frame edge of the stacking device. So can upper Edge regions of the stacking device support and stabilize the side parked on the horizontal support legs transport pallet well.

Selbst beladene Transportpaletten, welche mittels der Stapelvorrichtung übereinander gestapelt sind, können von einem entsprechend geeigneten Flurfördergerät, wie einem Gabelstapler oder einem Hubwagen, vorteilhaft befördert werden, wenn die Stapelvorrichtung Öffnungen zum Aufnehmen einer Hebevorrichtung für Transportpaletten aufweist. Diese Öffnungen können konstruktiv einfach an der Stapelvorrichtung gebildet werden, indem die Befestigungsschenkel manuell oder von einer Gabel eines Gabelstaplers nach innen eingedrückt werden.Self-loaded transport pallets, which are stacked on top of each other by means of the stacking device, can be advantageously transported by a suitably suitable material handling equipment, such as a forklift or a lift truck, if the stacking device has openings for receiving a lifting device for transport pallets. These openings can be structurally easily formed on the stacking device by the mounting legs are pressed in manually or by a fork of a forklift inward.

Es versteht sich, dass die vorliegende Stapelvorrichtung aus vielen Werkstoffen hergestellt werden kann. Besonders vorteilhaft ist es, wenn die Stapelvorrichtung aus Pappe, insbesondere aus Wellpappe, hergestellt ist, da dies einfach, leicht und kostengünstig realisierbar ist. Insbesondere Wellpappe kann einfach vorkonfektioniert, zudem gewichtsmäßig leicht und dabei relativ stabil bereitgestellt werden. Da die Merkmale im Zusammenhang mit einer insbesondere aus Wellpappe hergestellten Stapelvorrichtung herkömmliche Stapelvorrichtungen bereits vorteilhaft weiterentwickelt, sind diese Merkmale auch ohne die übrigen Merkmale der vorliegenden Erfindung vorteilhaft.It is understood that the present stacking device can be made of many materials. It is particularly advantageous if the stacking device is made of cardboard, in particular of corrugated cardboard, since this is simple, easy and inexpensive to implement. In particular, corrugated board can be easily prefabricated, also lightweight and relatively stable provided. Since the features in connection with a stacking device produced in particular from corrugated cardboard already advantageously develop conventional stacking devices, these features are also advantageous without the other features of the present invention.

Außergewöhnlich platzsparend kann die Stapelvorrichtung gelagert und transportiert werden, wenn die Stapelvorrichtung faltbar gestaltet ist. Auch dies lässt sich mit einer Stapelvorrichtung aus Wellpappe besonders einfach bewerkstelligen.Exceptionally space-saving, the stacking device can be stored and transported when the stacking device is designed foldable. Again, this can be done with a stacking device made of corrugated cardboard very easy.

Weitere Vorteile, Ziele und Eigenschaften der vorliegenden Erfindung werden anhand der nachfolgenden Beschreibung anliegender Zeichnung erläutert, in welcher beispielhaft ein Ausführungsbeispiel einer Vorrichtung zum Stapeln von Transportpaletten dargestellt ist.Further advantages, objects and characteristics of the present invention will be explained with reference to the following description of the appended drawing, in which an exemplary embodiment of an apparatus for stacking transport pallets is shown by way of example.

Die in der Fig. 1 gezeigte Stapelvorrichtung 1 ist von oben über eine erste, untere Transportpalette 2 bis auf einem Untergrund 3 aufgesetzt. Die Transportpalette 2 ist bei diesem Ausführungsbeispiel als eine Flachpalette mit einer ebenen Palettenladefläche 4 und hier nicht näher gezeigten Palettenfüßen ausgebildet, wobei auf der Palettenladefläche 4 der besseren Übersichtlichkeit noch kein Transportgut angeordnet ist.The in the Fig. 1 shown stacking device 1 is placed from above a first, lower transport pallet 2 to a substrate 3. The transport pallet 2 is formed in this embodiment as a flat pallet with a flat pallet loading surface 4 and pallet feet not shown here in detail, being arranged on the pallet loading surface 4 for clarity still no cargo.

Die Stapelvorrichtung 1 weist einen Rahmen 5 aus Wellpappe 6 auf, wie insbesondere nach der Detaildarstellung gemäß der Fig. 3 zusätzlich gut verdeutlicht ist.The stacking device 1 has a frame 5 made of corrugated cardboard 6, as in particular after the detailed representation according to the Fig. 3 additionally well illustrated.

Der Rahmen 5 ist um die erste, untere Transportpalette 2 herum angeordnet und umfasst insgesamt vier im Wesentlichen vertikal ausgerichtete Rahmenwände 7, 8, 9 und 10. Jede vertikal ausgerichtete Rahmenwand 7, 8, 9 und 10 bildet eine vertikale. Wandebene 11 (hier nur beispielhaft beziffert) der Stapelvorrichtung 1 aus.The frame 5 is arranged around the first, lower transport pallet 2 and comprises a total of four substantially vertically aligned frame walls 7, 8, 9 and 10. Each vertically oriented frame wall 7, 8, 9 and 10 forms a vertical one. Wall level 11 (numbered here only as an example) of the stacking device 1 from.

An der unteren Rahmenseite 12 des Rahmens 5 sind Befestigungsmittel 13 (hier nur exemplarisch beziffert) vorgesehen, mittels welchen eine Formschlussverbindung 14 (siehe insbesondere Fig. 2) zwischen der Stapelvorrichtung 1 und der ersten, unteren Transportpalette 2 hergestellt werden kann. Die Befestigungsmittel 13 sind baulich besonders einfach von dem Rahmen 5 der Stapelvorrichtung 1 ausgestaltet. Hierzu sind im Wesentlichen Befestigungsschenkel 15 (lediglich exemplarisch beziffert) der Befestigungsmittel 13 an die vertikal ausgerichteten Rahmenwände 7 bis 10 angestanzt, wobei die Befestigungsschenkel 15 nach innen in den Rahmen 5 eingedrückt werden können. Hierbei verlagern sich dann die Befestigungsschenkel 15 zwischen oberen Palettenbrettern 16 (siehe Fig. 1) der ersten, unteren Transportpalette 2 und unteren Palettenbrettern 17 (siehe Fig. 2) dieser ersten, unteren Transportpalette 2, wobei die Befestigungsschenkel 15 dann zwischen den Palettenbrettern 16 und 17 formschlüssig verklemmt sind.On the lower frame side 12 of the frame 5 fastening means 13 (only exemplified here) provided by means of which a positive connection 14 (see, in particular Fig. 2 ) between the stacking device 1 and the first, lower transport pallet 2 can be produced. The fastening means 13 are designed structurally particularly simple from the frame 5 of the stacking device 1. For this purpose, attachment legs 13 are essentially punched onto the vertically aligned frame walls 7 to 10, wherein the attachment legs 15 can be pressed inwardly into the frame 5. In this case, then move the mounting legs 15 between the upper pallet boards 16 (see Fig. 1 ) of the first, lower transport pallet 2 and lower pallet boards 17 (see Fig. 2 ) of this first, lower transport pallet 2, wherein the mounting legs 15 are then positively clamped between the pallet boards 16 and 17.

An der oberen Rahmenseite 18 des Rahmens 5 sind des Weiteren noch Haltemittel 19 (hier ebenfalls nur exemplarisch beziffert) an den vertikal ausgerichteten Rahmenwänden 7 bis 10 angeordnet, wobei vorliegend die Haltemittel 19 baulich einfach ebenfalls von dem Rahmen 5 ausgestaltet sind.On the upper frame side 18 of the frame 5 are further still holding means 19 (here also exemplified only) arranged on the vertically aligned frame walls 7 to 10, wherein in the present case, the holding means 19 structurally simple also of the frame 5 are configured.

Die Haltemittel 19 sind hierbei derart von den Befestigungsmitteln 13 vertikal 20 beabstandet angeordnet, dass zwischen einer auf den Haltemitteln 19 abgestellten weiteren, oberen Transportpalette (hier nicht gezeigt) und der ersten, unteren Transportpalette 2 ein Transportvolumen 21 geschaffen ist.The holding means 19 are in this case arranged vertically spaced apart from the fastening means 13 such that a transport volume 21 is created between a further, upper transport pallet parked on the holding means 19 (not shown here) and the first, lower transport pallet 2.

Zum sicheren Aufnehmen und Halten der weiteren, oberen Transportpalette 2 umfassen die Haltemittel 19 horizontale Halteschenkel 22, welche entsprechende Abstellflächen 23 für die weitere, obere Transportpalette ausbilden. Die horizontalen Halteschenkel 22 stützen sich hierbei mittels in etwa vertikal ausgerichteter Stützschenkel 24 innen an dem Rahmen 5 ab.For securely receiving and holding the other, upper transport pallet 2, the holding means 19 include horizontal holding legs 22, which form corresponding storage areas 23 for the further, upper transport pallet. The horizontal support legs 22 are based here by means of approximately vertically aligned support legs 24 inside of the frame 5 from.

Erfindungsgemäß greifen die eher vertikalen Stützschenkel 24 mit Einstecklaschen 25 in hierzu korrespondierende Einstecknuten 26 ein, welche in den vertikal ausgerichteten Rahmenwänden 7 bis 10 eingelassen sind. Somit können selbst größere Lasten von den Haltemitteln 19 gehalten bzw. getragen werden, sodass auch die weitere, obere Transportpalette mit einem Transportgut versehen sein kann.According to the invention, the rather vertical support legs 24 engage with insertion tabs 25 in corresponding insertion grooves 26, which are embedded in the vertically aligned frame walls 7 to 10. Thus, even larger loads can be held or carried by the holding means 19, so that the other, upper transport pallet can be provided with a cargo.
