Description

Lightweight loading platform

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a platform of load, of which they configure the commonly called "pallets" usable for both freight transport as for the stacking itself of different types of products.

The object of the invention is to achieve a light platform as well as resistant, that is, capable of withstand significant loads.

Background of the invention

In both transport and stacking of goods are usually used pallets or loading platforms, that are conveniently raised above the ground by legs, to allow the coupling of a truck or a pallet truck that facilitates its mobilization.

Conventional pallets are structured to wooden slats and cleats base, presenting a very heavy weight considerable.

The market trend is oriented towards light bases or platforms, especially so that its impact at the level of transport cost is lower, because the weight is less transport, and in this sense platforms or pallets are known of cardboard, in which compact cardboard is used, so that they are expensive and relatively heavy if you want to keep a remarkable mechanical resistance.

Description of the invention

The loading platform that the invention proposes it constitutes a definitive advance in this field, since for a same mechanical resistance allows to lighten very considerable weight, getting parallel also a Remarkable cost reduction.

For this and more specifically, the platform proper materializes in a core or cardboard panel of honeycomb, which is enclosed in an envelope, also of cardboard, but in this case corrugated cardboard, so that each corrugated cardboard sheet, such that the cardboard sheet corrugated, of qualities and thicknesses according to the requirements specific to each case, is affected by four clefts or folding lines that allow easy perimeter adaptation of said envelope to the honeycomb cardboard core, which It will also have different qualities, weights and thicknesses of paper, as well as different measures in the cells, according to the requested mechanical resistance.

This platform itself is completed with supporting feet that conveniently lift it off the ground, such as a conventional pallet, feet whose number can be also variable, usually two or three and that are structured in the same way, that is, based on a cardboard envelope corrugated and an inner core of honeycomb cardboard. Preferably and to achieve the required height, the core of each ribbon will be obtained based on a plurality of panels of honeycomb cardboard superimposed, each with its envelope outer corrugated cardboard, there is also one with a general envelope for the entire ribbon as a whole.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows an exploded perspective. of the platform itself corresponding to a platform Light loading performed in accordance with the purpose of this invention.

Figure 2.- Shows, also according to a view in  perspective, the whole of the previous figure properly mounted.

Figure 3.- Shows an exploded perspective. of one of the slats or support feet that collaborate with the proper platform of the previous figures.

Figure 4.- Shows an exploded perspective. of the light cargo platform as a whole.

Figure 5.- Shows, also according to a view in perspective, the light platform fully loaded cargo.

Figure 6.- Shows, finally, a representation similar to that of figure 5, but in which the lightweight cargo platform has two feet of support, instead with three and also less height.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can be observed as the light platform that the invention proposes is constituted from a platform proper (1), the shown in figure 2, in which an envelope (2) of corrugated cardboard and a core (3) of honeycomb cardboard, of so that the envelope (2) materializes in a formal sheet and dimensionally adequate so that, with the collaboration of cleft (4) that facilitate folding, be able to adapt to all core perimeter (3), as shown in Figure 2.

This platform (1) is complemented by a plurality of support feet (5), by way of slats, each of which and as shown in figure 3, is constituted by means of a core (6) and an envelope (7), the envelope being (7) similar to the envelope (2) of the platform itself (1), while the one in the nucleus (6) participates in a plurality of honeycomb panels as shown in figure (1), superimposed, forming a block of appropriate height, and each of which assisted by an own envelope of corrugated cardboard, which improves the mechanical strength of the set.

The slats (5) thus structured are fixed by adhesive to the underside of the platform itself said (1), as shown in Figures 5 and 6, in variable number and also with a variable thickness, so that for example, in the case shown in figure 5, slats or support feet (5) define between the loading platform itself (1) and the I ground a couple of longitudinal pipes (8) that allow the fork step of a forklift or similar.

However, as shown in Figure 6, no There is some limitation as to the number, size and layout of said slats or support feet (5).

Claims (5)

1. Lightweight loading platform, of the type that incorporates a platform proper provided with a plurality of support feet that give it the appearance and performance of a pallet, characterized in that said loading platform itself is structured based on a honeycomb cardboard core and an envelope based on corrugated cardboard, which covers the larger faces of the core and two of its edges. 2. Light loading platform, according to claim 1, characterized in that both the honeycomb cardboard core and the corrugated cardboard envelope have varying thicknesses and weights depending on the intended mechanical strength for the platform. 3. Light load platform, according to previous claims, characterized in that the corrugated cardboard envelope consists of a sheet of appropriate dimensions provided with four creases or folding lines that allow its perfect adaptation to the contour of the central core. 4. Light loading platform, according to previous claims, characterized in that each slat or support foot of the platform itself is materialized in turn in a plurality of superimposed honeycomb cardboard panels, each provided with a corrugated cardboard envelope, the group of corrugated cardboard panels being assisted in addition to their corresponding envelopes, by a general outer envelope, also of corrugated cardboard. 5. Light loading platform, according to previous claims, characterized in that the number of slats or support feet, their thickness and their arrangement on the underside of the loading platform itself, are variable depending on the requirements of each case.
