Description

Pallet reinforcement.

Object of the invention.

The present invention relates to a reinforcement added to a pallet that has holes conditioned for insertion of the reinforcement.

Background of the invention.

At present the market offers different types of pallets and in different sizes, most of them formed by a platform on which the merchandise is deposited and which is adapted to be lifted by a forklift. These elements allow stacking material to a certain height since at a given point instability of the load occurs, especially in small pallets.

The invention presented here achieves a pallet with high load capacity since a large gender storage is achieved on a small surface.

Description of the invention

The invention presented below greatly improves the functional characteristics of the pallet, guaranteeing maximum strength, and efficiency in transport and storage, giving greater stability to be able to stack more gender on the same pallet.

The reinforcement that gives stability consists of a preferably cylindrical and partially hollow tube at one of its ends. At the other end it also has a projection, preferably cylindrical, the diameter of the projection being slightly smaller than that of the recess.

The pallet has a series of holes drilled and distributed on its surface, preferably a central one, one in each corner and one in the middle part of each side, where reinforcements will be inserted. There may be several combinations of reinforcements, depending on the type of load carried by the pallet: one in the center, one in each corner, one on each side, or variations of these possibilities. Depending on the height reached by the transported product, the shape of the reinforcements allows the assembly between them until reaching the necessary length, introducing the projection of a reinforcement in the hole of another.

With this invention it is possible to give greater stability to the pallets, being able to vary both the number and height of reinforcements used and their location within the pallet, depending on the product to be stacked, and thus allowing to carry more gender on the same pallet, also being able to be properly used as shelves in retail stores. To this end, a tray is added as a shelf supported on the upper part of the reinforcements, and which has non-through holes with a distribution similar to that of the pallet, where said reinforcements are inserted.

The characteristics and advantages of the invention can be seen more clearly from the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment, given only by way of illustrative and non-limiting example, with reference to the accompanying figures.

Brief description of the drawings.

For a better understanding of this specification, drawings are attached by way of non-limiting example describing a preferred embodiment of the invention.

Description of a preferred embodiment.

The detailed description of a preferred embodiment of the invention will be carried out in the following with the help of the attached drawings, through which the same numerical references are used to designate the same or similar parts, and have in account of the exposed explanation of the invention

Figure 1 shows the reinforcement (1) consisting of a tube preferably cylindrical, and partially hollow (2) at one end and with a projection (3) also preferably cylindrical at the other end.

Figure 2 shows a plan view of the pallet (4), where the central hole (5), four side holes (7) and four end holes (6) in the corners are observed. In addition there are some figures next to the end holes

(6) representing a molding formed by the legs (8) of the pallet (4).

Figure 3 shows a cut of the holes (5, 6 and 7) of the pallet (4). The figure shows the shape of the hole (5, 6 and 7) drilled in the pallet (4). The upper part (9) is countersunk (10), conical cut. The lower part (11) is cylindrical, where the projection (3) of the reinforcement (1) is housed.

Figure 4 shows a section showing the insertion of the reinforcement (1) into the hole (5, 6 and 7) of the pallet (4).

Figure 5 shows a view of the bottom of the tray (12). The holes in the tray (12) are not through and are distributed in the same way as on the surface of the pallet (4), the tray (12) resting on the top of the reinforcements (1) used. The upper part of the tray (12) is flat.

Figure 6 shows a perspective view of possible reinforcement assemblies (1), two examples of the possible combinations that can be carried. The first example is a reinforcement (1) inserted in the central hole (5). The transported product is placed around the reinforcement (1), which supports the load. Said product is fixed around it with a tape or plastic, allowing the support of the load in the reinforcement (1) to give the desired stability. The second example is a double reinforcement (1) inserted in one of the side holes (7). The transported product will be supported by the double reinforcement (1), allowing a greater product height due to the greater height of the reinforcement (1). Other examples would be four reinforcements (1) inserted one into each end hole (6). This allows the placement of a tray (12) on the reinforcements (1).

It should be understood that the invention has been described according to a preferred embodiment thereof, so it may be subject to modifications as long as this does not imply any alteration of the basis of said invention, such modifications may affect the shape, size or materials of manufacturing.

Claims (2)

1.-Pallet reinforcement characterized in that it consists of a tube preferably cylindrical, partially hollow (2) at one end and with a projection (3) also preferably cylindrical at the other end, having the pallet (4) where preferably a central hole (5), an end hole (6) is housed in each 5 corner and a side hole (7) in the middle part of each side, the upper part (9) of each hole (5, 6 and 7) being countersunk (cylindrical cut and the bottom part (11)). 2.-Pallet reinforcement, according to claim one, characterized in that the tray (12) has non-through holes distributed in the same way as the holes (5, 6 and 7) of the surface of the pallet (4), the part being flat Top 10 of the tray (12).  FIGURE 1 8 FIGURE 2    FIGURE 3 FIGURE 4 1 9 10 10
