Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a cargo carrier element comprising an angular profile strip with a horizontal part and vertical part, the angular profile strip having a length in a longitudinal direction, the horizontal part and the vertical part together defining a concave side and convex side of the angular profile strip, at least two protrusions provided on the horizontal part at the convex side thereof, the protrusions extending to respective ends at a distance from a surface of the horizontal part.
  • the invention further relates to a set of cargo carrier elements; a method of stacking a number of packages for transport and/or storage; and a stack of packages.
  • WO 02/38471 A2 discloses a cargo carrier element of the above art.
  • This known cargo carrier element is e.g. made of polypropylene and the protrusions are pressed hollow projections.
  • GB 999 546 A discloses another cargo carrier element comprising a single, plane wooden lath carrying on one side a number of rounds in the form of rough timber elements attached to the lath by nails.
  • GB 930 263 discloses skids or supports for load carrying pallets, packages, cases or the like.
  • the individual skid is made of a cut sheet of cardboard, corrugated board or similar light weight material, that is folded into a tubular body of rectangular cross section.
  • the skid comprises reinforcing member in the form of vertically extending, cylindrical tubular members of tightly wound and glued paper, or in the form of blocks of cardboard or like material.
  • side parts of the sheet are inserted vertically into slits in the reinforcing members thereby providing a vertical centre wall preventing insertion of the prongs of a fork lifter through the skid. Holes provide for insertion of strapping for securing the skid to a package.
  • glue or the like for assembling the skid is not mentioned.
  • GB 1 492 804 discloses a method of constructing a box pallet, comprising forming two skids to include a base member, a deck member presenting a load-carrying surface, and support members holding the deck member and the base member in spaced relationship.
  • the base member and the deck member of each said skid may be formed of any suitable material of sufficient strength for its intended load-bearing capacity, such as timber, plastics or stiff card, and the means separating the deck member from the base member may comprise blocks of wood, fibreboard or plastics material.
  • the load-carrying deck member is of shape and dimensions corresponding to the base member, and accordingly these two members appear to be identical.
  • a stack of packages on a pallet such as a standard pallet, e.g. a EUR-pallet to be able to lift and carry the stack of packages by e.g. a fork lifter.
  • the EUR-pallets have the benefit that having a standardized size they may surely be lifted by means of a fork lifter with a fork that is correspondingly dimensioned.
  • a reuse pallet may not be the most economical or environment-friendly solution for storage and transport of stacks of packages.
  • the packages stacked thereupon may have larger base dimensions than the pallet whereby the packages extend horizontally beyond the pallet and hide the same from the eyesight of the driver of a fork lifter, making it difficult to catch and the stack of packages correctly and safely.
  • the angular profile strip comprises a first fibrous material based on plant fibres
  • the angular profile strip is primarily made of fibreboard material, preferably solid cardboard material
  • the protrusions comprise a second fibrous material based on plant fibres
  • a slat comprising a third fibrous material based on plant fibres is fixed to the ends of the protrusions to extend in parallel to the horizontal part, wherein the slat is primarily made of plywood or a wooden board, especially in the form of a single piece of wood.
  • the invention provides a cargo carrier element comprising and angular profile strip for abutting a corner of a box, a cardboard package, etc. and a slat for resting on the ground the angular profile strip and the slat being separated by protrusions, i.e. intermediate elements, whereby the angular profile strip and the slat are respectively made of different materials.
  • This choice of different materials provides for the best solution in respect of economy and environmental impact.
  • the angular profile strip is glued to the protrusions avoiding a need of a tear-strength of the material of the angular profile strip to accept nails for fastening.
  • the protrusions are primarily made of particle board material, e.g. as wood chip blocks, or pieces of wood.
  • At least the horizontal part of the angular profile strip has a thickness of at least 4.5 mm, preferably at least 5.5 mm, and more preferably at least 6.5 mm.
  • the horizontal part and the vertical part are in an embodiment made integrally and have the same thickness.
  • the slat has a length substantially equal to the length of the angular profile strip.
  • the object of the invention is further obtained by a set of cargo carrier elements comprising two separate cargo carrier elements according to the invention.
  • Such set of cargo carrier elements provides for a method according to the invention of stacking a number of packages for transport and/or storage, the method comprising:
  • a stack of packages comprising a number of packages, each package having a length; a height; and a thickness, the length defining a distance between a first end, and a second end of the respective package and the height defining a distance between a bottom and a top of the respective package, the packages being placed in a mutual side-by-side relationship with their tops up and their bottoms at their respective first and second ends resting on the convex side of the horizontal part of a cargo carrier element of a set of cargo carrier elements according to claim or, the packages preferably being surrounded by bands and/or wrapping material.
  • Fig. 1 shows a cargo carrier element 1 comprising an angular profile strip 2 with a horizontal part 3 and vertical part 4.
  • the angular profile strip has a length in a longitudinal direction 5 e.g. between 0.5 m and 2 m, especially e.g. between 1 m and 1.4 m.
  • the horizontal part 3 and the vertical part 4 together define a concave side 6 and convex side 7 of the angular profile strip 2.
  • three protrusions 8 are provided on the horizontal part 3, glued to the convex side 7 thereof.
  • stables 15 may by inserted through the horizontal part 3 into the protrusions 8, primarily to fix the protrusions 8 while the glue sets.
  • the protrusions 8 extend to respective ends 9 at a distance from a surface of the horizontal part 3. That distance should be dimensioned to provide space for insertion of the tines of a fork lifter below the horizon part 3, and the distance may e.g. be 7-15 cm, especially e.g. 8-11 cm.
  • the angular profile strip 2 comprises a first fibrous material based on plant fibres, which may primarily be fibreboard, preferably cardboard, material.
  • the material of the angular profile strip 2 should have thickness to provide sufficient strength.
  • the material may have a thickness of at least 4.5 mm, preferably at least 5.5 mm, and more preferably at least 6.5 mm.
  • the horizontal part and the vertical part are in the embodiment shown made integrally and have the same thickness.
  • the angular profile strip 2 may be produced by folding pieces of cardboard having preferably a length corresponding to the intended length of the angular profile strip and a width generally corresponding to the combined width of the horizontal part and the vertical part, and stacking and gluing the folded pieces together.
  • the angular blank thus provided may be wrapped in a cover sheet of e.g. paper to provide a smooth surface.
  • a PVA(C) dispersion glue may be used for gluing together the folded pieces of cardboard and the cover paper.
  • the width of the horizontal part 3 and the vertical part 4 may e.g. be 7-15 cm, especially 8-12 cm.
  • the protrusions 8 comprise a second fibrous material based on plant fibres, which material e.g. comprises particle board material.
  • the protrusions may primarily be made of particle board material, e.g. as wood chip blocks, and/or pieces of wood.
  • the dimensions of a horizontal cross-section of the protrusions may e.g. be 10-20 cm, especially e.g. 12-15 cm, in the longitudinal direction 5, and 7-15 cm, especially e.g. 7-11 cm in the direction perpendicular thereto.
  • a slat 10 comprising a third fibrous material based on plant fibres is fixed to the ends 9 of the protrusions 8 to extend in parallel to the horizontal part 3.
  • Such slat 10 adds to the overall strength of the cargo carrier element 1 and for benefits to be explained below, it provides for a smaller pressure against a supporting surface.
  • the slat 10 may primarily be made of plywood or a wooden board, especially in the form of a single piece of wood.
  • the slat 10 has a length equal to the length of the angular profile strip 2. It is also possible that the slat 10 is a little longer than the angular profile strip 2 and that the slat 10 is a little shorter than the angular profile strip 2. In the latter case the slat 10 should have a sufficient length to extend beneath and support the outmost of the protrusions 8.
  • the slat 10 may have a width approx. equal to the width of the protrusions, or the slat 10 may have a width e.g. 1-3 cm larger than the width of the protrusions, e.g. for the slat to have a width of approx. 10 cm.
  • the cargo carrier elements 1 may be used as a set of two cargo carrier elements 1 to provide a stack of packages 11 as shown in Fig. 2 or Fig. 3 .
  • the packages 11 may be box-shaped cardboard packages comprising goods such as windows.
  • packages 11 are placed side-by-side whereby a first end 11a and a second end 11b of the respective packages are placed on the horizontal part 3 of respective cargo carrier elements 1, bottoms 11c of the packages 11 facing downwards, and tops 11d of the packages 11 facing up, the bottoms 11c and tops 11d being for the present description defined by the orientation of the packages 11 in the respective stacks.
  • the packages 11 are oriented with a longitudinal dimension oriented vertically
  • Fig. 3 the packages 11 are oriented with their longitudinal dimension oriented horizontally.
  • dots of glue 12a, 12b such as hotmelt, may be provided on the vertical and horizontal parts 4, 3 of the angular profile strips 2. Dots of glue 12a on the vertical parts 4 may further add to the strength of the stack as a whole allowing a saving in respect of thickness of the material of the angular profile strips 2.
  • Bands 13 are wrapped around the stacks including the angular profile strips 2 to secure the cargo carrier elements 1 to the stack of packages 11, protective corner elements 16 being provided between the bands 13 and the corners of the packages 11 at the tops 11d thereof.
  • These protective corner elements 16 may be similar to the angular profile strips 2, only shorter.
  • two bands 13 are used as shown in Figs. 2 and 3 .
  • more bands 13 are used, e.g. a third band is applied parallel to and intermediate of the two bands 13 shown in Figs. 2 and 3 , and next to the protrusion 8 at the centre of the cargo carrier elements 1, when a protrusion is positioned at said centre.
  • stacks of packages 11 may be wrapped in a wrapping material, e.g. plastic film, as it is known per se.
  • the provision of two cargo carrier elements 1 according to the invention allows for arranging packages in different orientations providing stacks of different heights and widths as suitable e.g. for storing the stacks.
  • the cargo carrier elements 1 always remain visible below the stack of packages to facilitate insertion of the tines of e.g. a fork lifter to lift and move the stack. Due to the presence of the slats 10 it is possible to stack more stacks on top of each other without the protrusions 8 damage the packages below.
  • the present inventors have successfully stacked up to 6 m high to a total weight of 2800 kg for a stack of packages of windows.
  • the cargo carrier elements according to the invention provides an environment friendly solution to stacking of packages, the materials of the cargo carrier elements being possibly recycled and/or recyclable.
