Abstract

Plastic pallet made of individual and independent modules without welds, whose assembly is manual and adapted to the more convenient dimensions in multiple or sub-multiple.

Description

  • In the state of art, pallets or support loads of various dimensions and various material which, despite its texture and constitution only present, one kind of shape but may be made with various dimensions and supporting various loads. The invention here presented adds to the state of art the fact that a piece modular, not be rigid nor preached and able to permit all the dimensions and all the loads that you wish. This is a plastic pallet, which is, essentially, consisting of two types of pieces (1 and 3) fitted and adjusted by mortise. The piece (1) consisting of the items (2 and 4) represent the support of the transverse piece (3). The piece (1) has a depression and the piece (3) has, on the lower of their extremities, the suppression which fits in depression of the piece (1) to ensure the setting of both. The piece (1) has, alternately, a positive suppression and a negative mortise which joins together in the area (4) may, therefore, multiply the dimensions of lateral sides. We can verify that the piece (3) has a pyramidal trunk configuration that will prevent the inserts deployed in support of piece (1), thus impeding movement forces perpendiculars upwards. When spaced, with intervals higher or lower, form the basis of support load on the pallet. Any of the pieces (1 and 3) can be easily replaced. Any of the parts referred may be made in the same colors, or in different color.

Claims (6)

  1. Modular and Multidimensional Plastic Pallet, pallet with normal function of support, housing and transport of cargo and cargo characteristics modular characterized by be in plastic - recycled or not -, consisting of parts of support modulation splice (3) and can adapt if the multiple dimensions to transverse and by traverse independent loose support (1), with skids (2), sleepers which can be nested in longitudinal direction (4) by mortise positive and negative, which together to create a crosspiece following support feet end (4), here represented by two half skids joints, characterized by possess a system of fixing in the process of hampering anti glide and reinforced inwardly by lamellae to bearing the loads expectable; characterized to be easily dismantled and, on the other hand, they also can be made in several colors.
  2. Modular and Multidimensional Plastic Pallet, in accordance with the claim 1, characterized to be made by the junction of modules and acquire various dimensions as the addition of these modules.
  3. Modular and Multidimensional Plastic Pallet, in accordance with the claim 1, characterized to be a modular and multidimensional pallet and possess independent parts (1 and 3) mortise, without welds, and that the piece (3) has in each extremity a small suppression that fits in a small depression existing in the piece (1) to ensure the mortise.
  4. Modular and Multidimensional Plastic Pallet, in accordance with the claim 1, characterized to be a pallet modular and multidimensional made resistant plastic material resistant to compression and by possess reinforcements that assure a better resistance to twisting and compression.
  5. Modular and Multidimensional Plastic Pallet, in accordance with the claim 1, characterized by a pallet modular and multidimensional always recoverable even if it could damage, individually, any of its components.
  6. Modular and Multidimensional Plastic Pallet, according to the claim 1, characterized by a pallet modular and multidimensional and in accordance with point 5, to have an unlimited longevity.
