Description

Transport pallets S WERZ plate must be made recesses traversing its corrugations in enable the insertion of the in both main or axial directions of and if all four sides manufacture of such bottom plates requires special tools and complicated and pallets which allow handcarts to be inserted in both axial directions cannot be made at all in this these pallets have the same drawback as the other known pallets referred to that their own space requirement in storage or when stapled is relatively large since the do not engage when superposed upon With a view to avoiding these drawbacks it has also been proposed to make transport pallets in one piece by the mouldin of a mixture of fibre materials and a in which case the feet are and frustoconlcal and open at the It has been that these which have bee intended to be an insufficient mechanical or else they have to be made so thick that again their use becomes invention has the object to provide a transport pallet which combines small weight with sufficient stability which can produced at low costs material manufacture so that can be used as an the pallet according to the inventio is to allow staplin with a minimum requires of and the engagement of fork lifts and carts all merge into the feet 2 and The diagonal ribs ma either have the same profile the ribs 5a and or they may have a different In the embodiment in it has been assumed that all hollow ribs have the same profile which can be seen in exemplified a diagonal In addition the ribs and this pallet according to the invention has two further ribs 6a and 6b of the same which extend parallel to the edges the axes of symmetr of the pallet and intersect in the center the central foot the intersectio of both the diagonal and axial The pallets of 3 and 4 have on the one hand still further and on the other hand the axial ribs of 1 have been omitted additional ribs 8 of are parallel to the diagonal ribs and confined pairwlse the triangular areas defined by the diagonal and outer The ribs 8 do not merge the feet or intersect with the other Ribs 8 have all the same According to 4 the arrangement the additional ribs 8b is similar but they have lengths and their inner ends are disposed in staggered relation to eac The depth of the must be so much greater that of all the hollow ribs that a su ance exists engagement of the fork o fork or a In the dimensions of the feet must be that a sufficient distance is insufficientOCRQuality

■CLAIMS

1. :. A transpor · pallet for use with fork lifts, handcarts or the like, being a one-piece moulding made from a notarising mixture of organic fibres, i.e. comminuted wood ;shavings, processed bagasse or the like, and a binder, preferably a thermosetting binder, designed as a relatively thin carrier plate which has, at least at the four corners, downwards projecting, upwards opening hollow frustoconical or frustopyramidal feet, and which is reinforced by downwards projecting, ■ upwards opening hollow ribs, namely one each along each edge of. the plate parallel thereto, and two diagonal ribs extending between diagonally opposite corners, or between the feet located in such corners.

2. A pallet accordin to Claim 1, having additional feet intermediate between the corner feet at the edges of the plate and, if desired, in the center of the latter.

3. : A pallet according to Claim 1 and 2, wherein the plate is rectangular and has f ustopyramidal feet in the corners and a the longitudinal edges, and frustooonbal feet in the center and at the transverse edges.

4· A pallet according to Claim 1, 2 or 3, comprising additional reinforcing ribs in the two axes of symmetry of the plate,

5. A pallet according to any of Claims 1 to 4, wherein the feet located in the corners and at the longitudinal edges are open on their sides ¾a¾ing the longitudinal axis of symmetry of the plate, the edges of the
