Definitions
- the present invention relates to a loading pallet.
- a loading pallet is generally intended to be secured to an object which may for example be a storage box in order to facilitate the handling of this object with a machine of the forklift type, for example to load it on a platform of a vehicle.
- a loading pallet according to the invention has a simplified structure, the manufacturing time of which is reduced and which therefore makes it possible to generate savings.
- the subject of the invention is a loading pallet intended to be secured to an object in order to facilitate the handling of said object.
- the pallet is made in two identical portions which are secured to one another at the level of an interface plane delimiting a main internal channel.
- the principle of a loading pallet according to the invention is to be manufactured in two identical portions requiring only one and the same mold. In this way, depending on the geometry and the dimensions that it is desired to obtain for the pallet, it is easy to modify the characteristics of the mold in order to manufacture the portions suitable for this pallet. Thanks to the use of a single mold, it becomes easy to modify the characteristics of said mold to obtain a pallet having given characteristics, while it would be more complicated to obtain said pallet in a single manufacturing operation by the manufacturer. intermediary of a mold and / or a more complex technique.
- the internal channel is intended to receive the support part of a forklift truck in order to easily move the pallet in space.
- the object can for example consist of a box or any container.
- the pallet is first secured to the object, and it is the resulting assembly which is handled with a forklift.
- the main internal channel is bordered by a surface internal of the two portions and may have a cross section of circular, square or rectangular shape.
- the two portions can be secured to one another by any means, such as for example by screwing or by gluing.
- each of the portions is rectangular in shape, and said portions are superimposed on one another so that the resulting thickness of the pallet corresponds to the sum of the two thicknesses of the two portions, and so that the width and the length of said pallet correspond respectively to the width and to the length of a portion.
- the two portions ideally overlap to obtain a compact pallet, the dimensions of which do not exceed those of a single portion. Only the thickness of the pallet is doubled compared to that of a single portion.
- each portion has a recess extending over its entire width and over a fraction of its length, so that once assembled, the two portions define the main internal channel.
- the main internal channel passes through so that it opens onto two opposite sides of said pallet.
- the support part of a forklift truck can enter through one of the two end openings of said internal channel to handle the pallet, which itself may have been previously secured to an object which may for example be a box. storage.
- the main internal channel has a rectangular cross section.
- the large side of this rectangular cross section extends parallel to a large side of the rectangular pallet.
- each portion has a second recess extending over part of its width and over part of its length, so that once assembled, the two portions define an internal channel secondary extending in a direction which is perpendicular to the main internal channel and opens into the latter. Thanks to the presence of these two perpendicular internal channels, the support part of a carriage elevator can enter either the main internal channel or the secondary internal channel to manipulate the pallet in two positions located 90 from each other. It is advantageously assumed that the secondary internal channel opens out at an edge of the pallet.
- each portion has on at least one outer surface a network of reinforcing ribs, some of which extend parallel to a small side of the portion, and some of which extend parallel to a large side of it.
- the notion of “external surface” is made with reference to the main internal channel.
- an internal surface will delimit said main internal channel and an external surface will externally delimit the pallet.
- Having reinforcing ribs in two perpendicular directions makes it possible to stiffen the pallet in a homogeneous manner, in two directions of the plane in which the corresponding portion is inscribed.
- this outer surface is intended to support a storage box and it is therefore important that it can have good mechanical strength with respect to said box, especially if the latter is loaded.
- each portion has on an internal surface defining the internal channel a network of reinforcing ribs extending parallel to a small side of the portion.
- each portion has, on an external surface, indentations in the form of hollow intended to cooperate with complementary protruding indentations of an object capable of being attached to said pallet.
- the object which can for example be represented by a storage box, will not be able to slide along said pallet by virtue of the protruding impressions of said object which will be inserted into the recessed impressions of the pallet.
- the dimensions and the arrangement of the indentations of the pallet depend on the structural characteristics of the object brought to be placed on said pallet.
- the pallet is made of a composite material comprising carbon fibers and a poly epoxy.
- Such a material is light and has good mechanical strength when it is packaged in the form of a finished part. In this way, the pallet does not unnecessarily weigh down the vehicle on which it will be installed, but can easily withstand the weight of a storage box secured thereto, even if the latter is loaded.
- the two portions are assembled by means of a technique to be chosen from gluing and screwing. These techniques are well mastered and make it possible to join the two portions together at a lower cost. Since the two portions of the pallet are not required to undergo forces which could cause them to slide on one another, the aforementioned assembly techniques are sufficient to hold them against each other. .
- Another object of the invention is a method of manufacturing a pallet according to the invention.
- the method comprises the following steps:
- the characteristic of such a method is that it uses a single mold of simple design, to manufacture the two portions of a pallet according to the invention. Indeed, a portion of a pallet according to the invention is of simple geometry with respect to that of the pallet once assembled and it is therefore not necessary to design a mold of complex geometry to directly manufacture the pallet.
- the assembly of the two portions can for example be achieved by gluing, screwing or clipping.
- Another object of the invention is an assembly of a storage box and a pallet according to the invention.
- the dimensions of the pallet and of the box are identical, so that once assembled said pallet and said box has a continuous outer surface.
- This assembly can be carried out by any means such as for example screwing, gluing or clipping.
- the box and the pallet will thus give the impression of forming a single, common part, made of the same material during the same operation.
- a pallet according to the invention has the advantage of being able to be easily and quickly manufactured, thanks to the use of a single mold and simple design. It also has the advantage of being able to easily change shape and size by modifying the mold designed to make a portion and which is simple in design.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a vehicle in which a pallet according to the invention can be mounted
- FIG. 2 is a partial perspective view of the vehicle of Figure 1 showing a pallet according to the invention
- FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a pallet according to the invention.

- FIG. 5 is a perspective view of an assembly of a storage box and a pallet according to the invention.
- FIG. 6 is a perspective view from another angle of the assembly of Figure 5.
- a pallet 1 according to the invention can be mounted in a utility vehicle 2 having a cockpit 3 and a rear part 4 of storage.
- the cockpit 3 comprises a driver's seat and a passenger seat which may for example be a folding seat.
- the rear storage part 4 comprises a structure 5 having two longitudinal and parallel segments 6, extending along a longitudinal axis X of the vehicle 2. These two longitudinal segments 6 are connected by a transverse rear segment 7 extending along a transverse axis. Y of the vehicle, said segment transverse 7 constituting the rearmost part of the structure 5.
- a platform 8 of rectangular shape originating against the cockpit 3 and extending along a longitudinal axis X of the vehicle up to 'to the rear transverse segment 7 of the structure 5. If the vehicle 2 is placed on a flat and horizontal ground, the platform 8 extends in a horizontal plane.
- FIG. 5 an assembly of a storage box 9 and a pallet 1 according to the invention is placed on the platform 8 so that said pallet 1 rests on the platform 8 and is found between said platform 8 and the box 9.
- the box 9 is a hollow container, of parallelepiped shape, and having at least one access means in the form of a door 10 which can be mounted to slide or pivot on the box 9. Box 9 is delimited by:
- the access door 10 of the box 9 constitutes one of the two longitudinal faces 11 of said box 9, and can pass from a closed position for which it s' vertically extends and closes the box 9, to an open position for which it extends horizontally as illustrated in Figure 1, and allows access to the inside of the box 9.
- the box 9 can for example be compartmentalized in order to to structure the storage of goods inside it.
- the pallet 1 is made in two separate and identical portions 14, 15, which are then secured to one another to form said pallet 1.
- This joining can for example be carried out by gluing or by screwing.
- the two portions 14, 15 are perfectly identical, and are made from the same mold in a material which may for example be a composite material comprising carbon fibers and a poly epoxy.
- Each of the portions 14, 15 is rectangular in shape and has a recess extending over its entire width and over a fraction of its length, so that once assembled, the two portions 14, 15 define an internal channel main 16.
- Each of these portions 14, 15 has a second recess extending over part of its width and over part of its length, so that once assembled, the two portions 14, 15 define a secondary internal channel.
- the main internal channel 16 extends along a transverse axis Y of the vehicle and the secondary internal channel extends along a longitudinal axis X of the vehicle when the pallet 1 is mounted on said vehicle 2.
- These two channels 16, 17 are intended to receive the support part of a forklift truck for the purpose of handling the pallet 1, for example in order to load it onto the vehicle 2, or to unload it therefrom.
- the presence of these two internal channels 16, 17 thus offers two possibilities for handling the pallet 1 by the forklift truck, either by using the main internal channel 16 or by using the secondary internal channel 17.
- each portion 14, 15 present on an outer surface, transverse ribs 18 extending along a small side of said portion 14, 15 and longitudinal ribs 19 s' extending along a long side thereof, said longitudinal ribs 19 being shorter than the transverse ribs 18 because of the presence of said transverse ribs 18.
- each portion 14, 15 has on an internal surface delimiting the main channel 16, a network of reinforcing ribs 20 extending parallel to a small side of the portion 14, 15. All the ribs 18, 19, 20 of each portion 14, 15 are preferably rectilinear.
- each portion 14, 15 has on an outer surface three indentations 21, 22, 23 in the form of hollows intended to cooperate with complementary protruding indentations of the box 9. In this way, a once the box 9 has been placed on one of the two portions 13, 14 of the pallet 1, it cannot slide on said pallet 1.
- the dimensions recessed indentations 21, 22, 23 of each portion 14, 15 are slightly larger than those of the complementary protruding indentations of the box 9, so that there is no play between said indentations 21, 22, 23 and said complementary indentations when the complementary protruding impressions are placed in the indentations 21, 22, 23 of the pallet 1.
- the pallet 1 in two portions 13, 14 is first secured to the box 9, then it is the resulting assembly of these two elements which will be handled by a forklift to transport said assembly to its final location on the platform 8 of the vehicle 2.
- the pallet 1 is glued and / or bolted to the storage box 9 to form an assembly that can be handled by the forklift truck.
- the two portions 13, 14 are perfectly superimposed on one another to form the pallet 1, so that the width and the length of said pallet 1 correspond respectively to the width and to the length of a portion 13, 14 and so that the thickness of the pallet 1 corresponds to twice the width of one of said portions 13, 14.
- the width and the length of the pallet 1 correspond exactly to the width and the length of the box 9 and that said pallet 1 and said box 9 are perfectly superimposed one on top of the other to form an assembly, the overall external surface of which is perfectly continuous, giving the impression that the pallet 1 and the box 9 form a single, one-piece piece made of the same material and during the same surgery.
