Abstract

Taco pallet, characterized in that its design consists of a group of four prisms, two of a small size and two of a large size, on a square base, arranged asymmetrically so that two identical pieces, turning of them, fits perfectly in the other, achieving a block that allows its use as if it were one solid, allowing loading large weights.

Description

Pallet block

Object of the invention

The present invention, as expressed in the set forth in this specification, refers to a block of pallet, of the type used to join the upper platform of the same, in which the merchandise is deposited, with the parts that They are in contact with the ground, supporting the whole. This cue is designed to facilitate and reduce the cost of construction of this type of loading platforms, allowing to be incorporated into numerous types of materials and pallet sizes according to the needs.

Background of the invention

Different pallets are already known Materials: wood, plastic, metal and combinations of same. Wooden pallets do not adapt to the needs of different markets so other types of materials, usually thermoplastics, which by their methods of manufacturing require large and expensive infrastructure only amortizable in large runs and with low capacity adaptation to size requirements. It is the case of the pallets of one-piece thermoplastic material that requires expensive tools and presses of great tonnage for its manufacture, with the big disadvantage that pallet breakage means automatically supposes its disposal since there is no possibility of repair.

Description of the invention

The present invention seeks to resolve the inconveniences that may arise with the use of the above materials and manufacturing methods offering an alternative Flexible and economical training of a transport pallet of commodity.

It consists of a piece, preferably of molded plastic, with the peculiarity that its design has studied how the same piece, inverted fit perfectly in another equal, forming a block of solid volume, of great resistance.

This design has great advantages in relation to other manufacturing methods since it allows to use the same piece to join plates of any material forming the  support feet of said pallet. Added advantages are those of being able incorporate different colors, corporate brands integrated in the piece, robustness based on vertical partitions that serve as support, avoid materials that begin to be penalized in export pallets (phytosanitary regulations against wood and derivatives). At the same time its simplicity lowers considerably the manufacturing price of part tools unitary and allows its use in any type of size pallet

Brief description of the drawings

In order to make the invention better understood a non-limiting preferred embodiment will be described, with reference to the attached plans, in which:

Figure 1 represents a perspective view of a possible non-limiting realization model. Its base is rectangular imitating the current wooden studs that are used in the most common wooden pallets.

Figure 2 depicts the two-way lace units of the piece described in figure 1. Its asymmetric shape it allows two equal pieces to fit with each other forming a almost solid block of great robustness. The two pieces that fit each other are the same piece model. A piece of plastic solid of this thickness would be very expensive to manufacture a piece already that the cooling times would be very large and in the cooling of The piece would produce deformations.

Figure 3 represents the location of the studs conformed by these two pieces embedded in the configuration of the transport pallet

It is also noted that although the form described here constitutes one of the preferred applications, how many variations of form, detail and dimensions, are deemed necessary, without changing the essence of it, which claims in the following:

Claims (1)

1. Pallet block, characterized in that its design consists of a group of four prisms, two of a small size and two others of a large size, on a quadrangular base, arranged asymmetrically in such a way that with two equal pieces, turning one of they fit perfectly in the other, getting a block that allows its use as if it were a solid one, allowing the loading of large weights.
