Definitions
- the present invention relates to the field of handling pallets, and more particularly to double skin thermoformed pallets.
- a double skin thermoformed pallet is generally formed from two sheets of a plastic material and is generally shaped like a rectangular parallelepiped.
- a disadvantage of existing pallets is the difficulty to maintain and wrap goods placed on such pallets.
- the existing method known as palletizing, for packing goods placed on a pallet, for example of wood, for storage and / or transport, is to surround the goods with a transparent plastic extensible film.
- This process involves difficulties and wastes time because it takes several turns for the plastic film to pack the goods and it takes either an operator to turn around the pallet or an expensive machine rotating the pallet while packing the goods. with the plastic film and dedicated only to such an application.
- another disadvantage of such a palletizing film is that it serves only once, requiring large amounts of film, thus generating costs and waste in large numbers.
- the object of the invention is to obtain a pallet allowing very simply and quickly to palletize goods without requiring the use of a specific machine or plastic film tedious to set up and not reusable.
- a storage pallet comprising a base and a frame adapted to be deployed on the base, said frame comprising at least one amount arranged to be deployed between a storage position on the base and a position of use in which said upright is erected on the base of the pallet, said pallet being characterized in that it comprises a flexible winding element mounted integral with the upright and arranged to be extended substantially perpendicular to the base in position d use of the amount so as to retain goods stored on the pallet.
- the palletizing is thus easy and fast to implement by a single operator and without a specific machine. It can also be done a plurality of times with the same winding element, reusable a large number of times. In addition, the goods may be visible or identifiable on the pallet after palletizing.
- the frames of the pallet are foldable flat on or in the pallet, allowing easy empty storage of the pallet, or even use without the frames of the pallet.
- Several pallets can thus be stacked or stacked on each other in particular in the storage position.
- the pallet further comprises winding means, the winding element being arranged to be wound on the winding means, the amount being configured so that the winding element is able to be unwound between a wound position and a unwound position when the amount is in the use position.
- the armature comprises at least one amount that can be deployed between a storage position and a position of use, said post comprising means for holding the winding element in an unwound position.
- said post comprising means for holding the winding element in an unwound position.
- the winding element further comprises hooking means able to maintain the winding element in a unwound position.
- hooking means may for example be hooks, an extruded plastic profile, a self-gripping strip, etc.
- the attachment means of the winding element are able to engage with the means for holding an amount in an unrolled position. This allows to hang the element on an amount of the pallet, making the attachment and therefore the solid palletization.
- the base of the pallet further comprises at least one housing and is configured so that said housing is adapted to receive an amount in the storage position.
- the base of the pallet further comprises at least one housing and is configured so that said housing is adapted to receive an amount in the storage position.
- This allows storing the amount (s) on or in the pallet in storage position, when the amounts are folded.
- This allows more, when the housing (s) are of sufficient depth to accommodate the or the amount (s) entirely to obtain a pallet of parallelepiped shape including the amounts, which facilitates the storage of the pallet, including its stack with other pallets, for example of the same type.
- the base further comprises at least one orifice and is configured so that said orifice is adapted to receive an amount in the position of use. This makes it possible to insert an amount and better maintain it in the use position of the pallet, especially when several pallets are stacked one above the other.
- the pallet further comprises at least one element for fixing an amount to the pallet, said fastening element comprising a pivot connection and being configured so that said pivot connection is capable of allowing the tilting said amount between a storage position and a position of use. This keeps the amount fixed to the pallet and tilt the amount on the pallet between a storage position and a position of use.
- the pallet further comprises at least one element for fixing an amount to the pallet, said fixing element comprising an axis and being configured so that said axis is able to allow the tilting, around of the axis, said amount between a storage position and a position of use.
- This keeps the amount fixed to the pallet and tilt the amount on the pallet between a storage position and a position of use.
- An ax is easier to assemble and disassemble when the amount needs to be mounted or changed.
- the pallet is formed of two plastic plates thermoformed double skin.
- the advantages of a plastic material include lightness, strength and strength. This technology makes it possible to obtain products lightweight, with good mechanical properties and good impact resistance.
- An advantage of thermoforming is that shapes can easily be given to the material. For example, housings and orifices can easily be arranged in the material during its manufacture. Other advantages are the inexpensive tooling and the ease of changing the tooling according to the needs.
- At least one post is made of metal or composite material. This allows the amount to be strong and resistant. This also implies good mechanical properties to compression, especially when pallets are stacked on each other.
- the pallet is able to be stacked, in storage position, with a second pallet. This allows in particular to facilitate the stacking of a plurality of pallets in pallets storage position, that is to say when they are folded.
- the frame of the pallet comprises four uprights and the pallet is able to be stacked, in use position, with a second pallet. This allows in particular to facilitate the stacking of a plurality of pallets in the position of use of the pallets, that is to say when the amounts thereof are unfolded.
- the amount further comprises means for winding the winding element on the amount and the method comprises in in addition to a step according to which, when extending the flexible winding element, it is unrolled between a wound position and a unwound position.
- the armature of the pallet comprises at least one amount that can be deployed between a storage position and a position of use and comprising means for holding the flexible winding element in a position extended, said method further comprising a step of attaching the winding member in an extended position to the holding means.
- the base and the frame comprising the or the amounts form a single block and pack and solidarity.
- the storage pallet 2 comprises a base 3 and a frame.
- the armature is able to be deployed on the base 3 and comprises at least one upright 4a that can be deployed between a storage position, folded on the base 3, and a position of use in which said upright 4a is erected on the base .
- the storage pallet 2 comprises a flexible winding element 10 mounted integral with the upright 4a and arranged to be extended substantially perpendicularly to the base 3 in the position of use of the upright 4a so as to retain goods stored on the pallet 2.
- Flexible winding element 10 can be, for example, in the form of a net secured to the upright 4a or a web, for example, plastic, integral with the amount 4a.
- the winding element 10 when the amount 4a is deployed in the use position, raised on the base 3, perpendicularly thereto, the winding element 10 can be extended by an operator so as to wrap goods stored on the pallet 2

Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne le domaine des palettes de manutention, et plus particulièrement des palettes thermoformées double peau.The present invention relates to the field of handling pallets, and more particularly to double skin thermoformed pallets.
Une palette thermoformée double peau est généralement formée à partir de deux feuilles d'un matériau plastique et est généralement en forme d'un parallélépipède rectangle.A double skin thermoformed pallet is generally formed from two sheets of a plastic material and is generally shaped like a rectangular parallelepiped.
On connaît plusieurs types de telles palettes et elles ont des applications dans de nombreux secteurs techniques. La plus connue est la palette en bois sur laquelle sont disposées des marchandises.Several types of such pallets are known and they have applications in many technical sectors. The best known is the wooden pallet on which goods are arranged.
Un inconvénient des palettes existantes est la difficulté pour maintenir et envelopper des marchandises posées sur de telles palettes. Le procédé existant, connu sous le nom de palettisation, permettant d'emballer des marchandises posées sur une palette, par exemple en bois, pour stockage et/ou transport, consiste à entourer les marchandises avec un film transparent en matière plastique extensible. Ce procédé implique des difficultés et des pertes de temps car plusieurs tours sont nécessaires au film en matière plastique pour emballer la marchandise et il faut soit un opérateur pour tourner autour de la palette, soit une machine coûteuse faisant tourner la palette tout en emballant la marchandise avec le film en matière plastique et dédiée uniquement à une telle application. De plus, un autre inconvénient d'un tel film de palettisation est qu'il ne sert qu'une seule fois, nécessitant de grandes quantités de film, générant ainsi des coûts et des déchets en grand nombre.A disadvantage of existing pallets is the difficulty to maintain and wrap goods placed on such pallets. The existing method, known as palletizing, for packing goods placed on a pallet, for example of wood, for storage and / or transport, is to surround the goods with a transparent plastic extensible film. This process involves difficulties and wastes time because it takes several turns for the plastic film to pack the goods and it takes either an operator to turn around the pallet or an expensive machine rotating the pallet while packing the goods. with the plastic film and dedicated only to such an application. In addition, another disadvantage of such a palletizing film is that it serves only once, requiring large amounts of film, thus generating costs and waste in large numbers.
L'objectif de l'invention est d'obtenir une palette permettant très simplement et rapidement de palettiser des marchandises sans nécessiter l'utilisation d'une machine spécifique ou de film en matière plastique fastidieux à mettre en place et non réutilisables.The object of the invention is to obtain a pallet allowing very simply and quickly to palletize goods without requiring the use of a specific machine or plastic film tedious to set up and not reusable.
L'invention parvient à réaliser ces objectifs, en proposant une palette de stockage comprenant un socle et une armature apte à être déployée sur le socle, ladite armature comprenant au moins un montant agencé pour être déployé entre une position de rangement sur le socle et une position d'utilisation dans laquelle ledit montant est dressé sur le socle de la palette, ladite palette étant caractérisée par le fait qu'elle comprend un élément d'enroulement souple monté solidaire du montant et agencé pour être étendu sensiblement perpendiculairement au socle en position d'utilisation du montant de sorte à retenir des marchandises stockées sur la palette.The invention achieves these objectives, by providing a storage pallet comprising a base and a frame adapted to be deployed on the base, said frame comprising at least one amount arranged to be deployed between a storage position on the base and a position of use in which said upright is erected on the base of the pallet, said pallet being characterized in that it comprises a flexible winding element mounted integral with the upright and arranged to be extended substantially perpendicular to the base in position d use of the amount so as to retain goods stored on the pallet.
La palettisation est ainsi de mise en oeuvre facile et rapide par un opérateur unique et sans machine spécifique. Elle peut aussi se faire une pluralité de fois avec le même élément d'enroulement, réutilisable un grand nombre de fois. De plus, les marchandises peuvent être visibles ou identifiables sur la palette après palettisation.The palletizing is thus easy and fast to implement by a single operator and without a specific machine. It can also be done a plurality of times with the same winding element, reusable a large number of times. In addition, the goods may be visible or identifiable on the pallet after palletizing.
De plus, les armatures de la palette sont repliables à plat sur ou dans la palette, permettant ainsi un stockage aisé à vide de la palette, voire une utilisation sans les armatures de la palette. Plusieurs palettes peuvent ainsi être empilées ou gerbées les unes sur les autres notamment en position de rangement.In addition, the frames of the pallet are foldable flat on or in the pallet, allowing easy empty storage of the pallet, or even use without the frames of the pallet. Several pallets can thus be stacked or stacked on each other in particular in the storage position.
Selon un aspect de l'invention, la palette comprend en outre des moyens d'enroulement, l'élément d'enroulement étant agencé pour être enroulé sur les moyens d'enroulement, le montant étant configuré de sorte que l'élément d'enroulement est apte à être déroulé entre une position enroulée et une position déroulée lorsque le montant est en position d'utilisation.According to one aspect of the invention, the pallet further comprises winding means, the winding element being arranged to be wound on the winding means, the amount being configured so that the winding element is able to be unwound between a wound position and a unwound position when the amount is in the use position.
Selon un aspect de l'invention, l'armature comprend au moins un montant pouvant être déployé entre une position de rangement et une position d'utilisation, ledit montant comprenant des moyens de maintien de l'élément d'enroulement dans une position déroulée. Ceci permet notamment de maintenir l'élément d'enroulement lorsqu'il enveloppe des marchandises sur la palette. Lorsque les moyens d'enroulement, l'élément d'enroulement et les moyens de maintien sont sur un même montant, ceci permet notamment de n'utiliser qu'un seul montant sur la palette. Ainsi, l'élément d'enroulement du montant peut envelopper les marchandises puis être accroché à ce même montant après avoir fait le tour des marchandises.According to one aspect of the invention, the armature comprises at least one amount that can be deployed between a storage position and a position of use, said post comprising means for holding the winding element in an unwound position. This allows in particular to maintain the winding element when wrapping goods on the pallet. When the winding means, the winding element and the holding means are on the same amount, this allows in particular to use only one amount on the pallet. Thus, the winding element of the amount can wrap the goods and then be hooked to the same amount after going around the goods.
Selon un aspect de l'invention, l'élément d'enroulement comprend de plus des moyens d'accrochage aptes à maintenir l'élément d'enroulement dans une position déroulée. Ceci permet notamment d'accrocher l'élément d'enroulement soit en l'engageant sur les moyens de maintien d'un montant, soit en l'engageant directement sur les marchandises. Ces moyens d'accrochages peuvent par exemple être des crochets, un profile plastique extrudé, une bande auto-agrippant etc.According to one aspect of the invention, the winding element further comprises hooking means able to maintain the winding element in a unwound position. This allows in particular to hang the winding element is by engaging on the means for maintaining an amount, or by engaging directly on the goods. These hooking means may for example be hooks, an extruded plastic profile, a self-gripping strip, etc.
