Abstract
Description
La présente invention concerne un support plat pour transporter des marchandises, notamment une palette, comportant une assise adaptée à supporter les marchandises, et des moyens formant pieds adaptés à maintenir l'assise au-dessus du sol ou d'un plancher pour permettre le passage sous l'assise de moyens de manutention dudit support. The present invention relates to a flat support for transporting goods, in particular a pallet, comprising a seat adapted to support the goods, and means forming feet adapted to maintain the seat above the ground or a floor to allow passage under the seat of means for handling said support.
On connaît et on utilise couramment pour la manutention, le transport et le stockage de marchandises de types très variés, des supports plats du type précité, notamment des palettes. Flat supports of the aforementioned type are known and commonly used for handling, transporting and storing goods of a wide variety of types, in particular pallets.
Ces palettes sont généralement en bois, ou en métal. Les palettes en bois sont relativement coûteuses et fragiles. Les réparations sont possibles mais coûteuses. These pallets are generally made of wood, or metal. Wooden pallets are relatively expensive and fragile. Repairs are possible but expensive.
Les palettes en bois entraînent une consommation importante de bois. Les éléments en bois endommagés ou détruits ne sont pas réutilisables pour la fabrication ou la réparation de palettes. Ils sont théoriquement recyclables dans l'industrie du papier, mais ils sont généralement brûlés sur le site de réparation.Wooden pallets cause a significant consumption of wood. Damaged or destroyed wooden elements cannot be reused for the manufacture or repair of pallets. They are theoretically recyclable in the paper industry, but they are usually burnt at the repair site.
Les palettes en métal sont constituées de profilés, de tôles ou de treillis métalliques. Elles sont lourdes et coûteuses. Elles sont théoriquement réparables, mais les réparations sont coûteuses. Les parties endommagées peuvent être recyclées sous forme de ferrailles dans le cadre général de la récupération des déchets métalliques. The metal pallets are made up of profiles, sheets or wire mesh. They are heavy and expensive. They are theoretically repairable, but repairs are expensive. The damaged parts can be recycled in the form of scrap as part of the general recovery of metallic waste.
Le but de ia présente invention est de remédier aux inconvénients des supports plats existants, et de proposer un support plat d'un genre nouveau qui soit en un matériau pratiquement entièrement recyclable par le fabricant de ce support, et qui soit en même temps de fabrication simple et peu onéreuse. The object of the present invention is to remedy the drawbacks of existing flat supports, and to propose a new kind of flat support which is made of a material which is practically entirely recyclable by the manufacturer of this support, and which is at the same time of manufacture. simple and inexpensive.
Suivant l'invention, le support plat recyclable du type précité est caractérisé en ce que ledit support est réalisé en plâtre. According to the invention, the recyclable flat support of the aforementioned type is characterized in that said support is made of plaster.
L'homme du métier fabriquant des supports plats tels que des palettes est totalement dissuadé de penser à utiliser un matériau tel que le platre pour fabriquer des supports plats et des palettes : en effet, le plâtre est connu comme un matériau fragile ayant une très faible résistance mécanique et une très faible résilience, s'effritant ou se brisant en cas de choc, et ne se prêtant pas à une réparation quelconque. A person skilled in the art making flat supports such as pallets is completely dissuaded from thinking of using a material such as plaster to manufacture flat supports and pallets: in fact, plaster is known as a fragile material having a very low mechanical resistance and very low resilience, crumbling or breaking in the event of an impact, and not suitable for any repair.
Or, le demandeur, après avoir analysé soigneusement les sollicitations auxquelles sont soumis les supports plats tels que des palettes, a compris que la fonction principale de ces supports, qui est de supporter une charge sensiblement uniformément répartie à une certaine distance au-dessus d'un sol ou d'un plancher pour permettre le passage de moyens de manutention tels que des fourches d'un chariot à fourches, est compatible avec une réalisation en plâtre. However, the applicant, after having carefully analyzed the stresses to which the flat supports such as pallets are subjected, has understood that the main function of these supports, which is to support a load substantially uniformly distributed at a certain distance above a floor or a floor to allow the passage of handling means such as forks of a forklift, is compatible with a plaster construction.
En cas de destruction ou d'endommagement, le plâtre du support plat de l'invention est entièrement recyclable par le fabricant dudit support d'une façon parfaitement connue des spécialistes du plâtre qu'il n'est pas nécessaire de décrire en détail ici. In the event of destruction or damage, the plaster of the flat support of the invention is fully recyclable by the manufacturer of said support in a manner perfectly known to plaster specialists which it is not necessary to describe in detail here.
Le mérite du demandeur est donc d'avoir proposé une solution originale et nouvelle à un problème nouveau qu'il s'était posé. The plaintiff's merit is therefore to have proposed an original and new solution to a new problem he had posed.
Suivant une version intéressante de l'invention, le plâtre est renforcé par des fibres, notamment des fibres végétales. According to an interesting version of the invention, the plaster is reinforced with fibers, in particular vegetable fibers.
Suivant une version avantageuse de l'invention, l'assise est une plaque pleine. According to an advantageous version of the invention, the seat is a solid plate.
Suivant une version préférée de l'invention, l'assise comporte neuf pieds individuels, régulièrement répartis sur la surface de l'assise tournée vers le sol. According to a preferred version of the invention, the seat has nine individual feet, regularly distributed over the surface of the seat facing the ground.
D'autres particularités et avantages de l'invention apparaîtront dans la description détaillée ciaprès. Other features and advantages of the invention will appear in the detailed description below.
Aux dessins annexés, donnés uniquement à titre d'exemples non limitatifs
- la figure 1 est une vue de face d'une palette conforme à un mode de réalisation de la présente invention
- la figure 2 est une vue de dessous de la palette de la figure 1.In the accompanying drawings, given only by way of nonlimiting examples
- Figure 1 is a front view of a pallet according to an embodiment of the present invention
- Figure 2 is a bottom view of the pallet of Figure 1.
Dans la réalisation représentée aux figures, le support plat recyclable 1 pour transporter des marchandises, qui est ici une palette, comporte une assise 2 adaptée à supporter des marchandises, et des moyens formant pieds 3 adaptés à maintenir l'assise 2 au-dessus du sol ou d'un plancher, schématisé en 4, pour permettre le passage, entre l'assise 2 et le sol ou plancher 4, de moyens de manutention de la palette 1. In the embodiment shown in the figures, the recyclable flat support 1 for transporting goods, which here is a pallet, comprises a seat 2 adapted to support goods, and means forming feet 3 adapted to hold the seat 2 above the floor or floor, shown diagrammatically at 4, to allow the passage, between the seat 2 and the floor or floor 4, of means for handling the pallet 1.
Suivant l'invention, la palette 1 est réalisée en plâtre. According to the invention, the pallet 1 is made of plaster.
De manière plus précise, la palette est réalisée en plâtre renforcé par des fibres. Les fibres peuvent être des fibres quelconques utilisées dans l'industrie du plâtre, en particulier des fibres végétales. More precisely, the pallet is made of plaster reinforced with fibers. The fibers can be any fibers used in the plaster industry, in particular vegetable fibers.
Comme on le voit en particulier à la figure 2, l'assise 2 est une plaque pleine dont la surface supérieure 5 est parfaitement plane, ce qui facilite le dépôt des marchandises de tous types sur cette assise. As seen in particular in Figure 2, the seat 2 is a solid plate whose upper surface 5 is perfectly flat, which facilitates the deposition of goods of all types on this seat.
La palette représentée comporte neuf pieds individuels 3 de forme conique dont le diamètre diminue quand on va de l'assise 2 vers le sol 4, pour faciliter le démoulage. Les pieds sont régulièrement répartis sur la surface 6 de l'assise 2 tournée vers le sol. The pallet shown has nine individual feet 3 of conical shape whose diameter decreases when one goes from the seat 2 to the ground 4, to facilitate demolding. The feet are regularly distributed over the surface 6 of the seat 2 facing the ground.
En cas de bris, cassure ou endommagement, il est facile de broyer le plâtre chargé de fibres de la palette 1 pour le recycler pratiquement totalement en vue de la fabrication de palettes neuves en plâtre renforcé de fibres. In the event of breakage, breakage or damage, it is easy to grind the plaster loaded with fibers from pallet 1 and recycle it almost completely for the manufacture of new pallets made of plaster reinforced with fibers.
Le demandeur a ainsi conçu une palette dont l'assise carrée de 1,02 m de côté a une épaisseur d'environ 3,5 cm. Cette palette comporte neuf pieds de 10 cm de hauteur. Les pieds de forme conique ont un diamètre de 10 cm au départ de l'assise et un diamètre de 8 cm sur leur face destinée à poser sur le sol. Le type et la proportion de fibres sont choisis suivant les conditions d'utilisation de la palette, selon des règles bien connues dans l'industrie du plâtre. The applicant has thus designed a pallet whose square seat of 1.02 m on a side has a thickness of approximately 3.5 cm. This palette has nine feet 10 cm high. The conical feet have a diameter of 10 cm at the start of the seat and a diameter of 8 cm on their face intended to be placed on the ground. The type and proportion of fibers are chosen according to the conditions of use of the pallet, according to rules well known in the plaster industry.
Une telle palette est très facile à réaliser par moulage. Les moules nécessaires sont simples et peu onéreux, les matières premières, plâtre et fibres, sont peu onéreuses, et les coûts de fabrication sont faibles. Such a palette is very easy to produce by molding. The molds required are simple and inexpensive, the raw materials, plaster and fibers, are inexpensive, and the manufacturing costs are low.
Bien entendu, l'invention n'est pas limitée au mode de réalisation que l'on vient de décrire, et on peut apporter à celui-ci de nombreux changements et modifications sans sortir du domaine de l'invention. Of course, the invention is not limited to the embodiment which has just been described, and many changes and modifications can be made to it without departing from the scope of the invention.
Ainsi, on peut prévoir sur ia face 6 de la palette tournée vers le sol des parties en saillie formant renfort dirigées parallèlement aux côtés de la palette, ces parties reliant les pieds entre eux ou s'étendant entre des pieds adjacents. Thus, it is possible to provide on the face 6 of the pallet turned towards the ground protruding parts forming a reinforcement directed parallel to the sides of the pallet, these parts connecting the feet together or extending between adjacent feet.
La face 5 de la palette portant les marchandises peut comporter des moyens tels que rebords en saillie, perçages, etc.... pour retenir des panneaux latéraux afin de former une caisse-palette. De tels panneaux peuvent être en matériau queiconque, plâtre, bois, treillis métallique. The face 5 of the pallet carrying the goods may include means such as projecting edges, holes, etc. for retaining side panels in order to form a pallet box. Such panels can be of any material, plaster, wood, wire mesh.
On peut bien entendu remplacer la palette décrite ci-dessus par tout autre type de support plat pour transporter des marchandises. It is of course possible to replace the pallet described above by any other type of flat support for transporting goods.
