Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To easily fix a sleeve to a pallet made of a metal or a plastic. SOLUTION: Each pair of holding pieces 2 and bottom pieces 3 is provided to a sheet 1 made of a plastic at each corner of a pallet. A fold is formed between the adjacent holding pieces 2 and between each holding piece 2 and each bottom piece 3, and a cut line is formed between the adjacent bottom pieces 3. The bottom pieces 3 are superposed on each other while flexing a connecting part of the holding pieces 2 at right angles, thus forming a corner member for the pallet. When this corner member is disposed at each of four corners of the pallet 5 to fix the superposed bottom pieces 3 of each corner member to the pallet 5 with screws 6, each lower end corner portion of a sleeve 7 surrounding articles placed on the pallet 5 is arranged along the inside of the holding pieces 2 of each corner member and can easily be fixed them together with a staple or the like.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a corner material and a package used for packing articles placed on a pallet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As shown in FIG.
An article placed on a wooden pallet 50 is surrounded by a cardboard sleeve 51, and the sleeve 51 is fixed to the pallet 50 with staples 52 driven around the entire lower end, and reinforced with a paperboard angle member 53, and a cover 54 is provided. May be formed.

[0003]

However, in such a package, the moisture contained in the wood of the pallet 50 evaporates, causing rust on the packed goods and insect damage caused by insects that have been parasitic on the wood. May occur.

[0004] When a metal or plastic pallet is used as a countermeasure, staples cannot be directly driven into the pallet when fixing the sleeve, so that a time-consuming operation such as banding is required.

Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide means for easily fixing a sleeve to a metal or plastic pallet.

[0006]

According to the present invention, a pair of holding pieces and a bottom piece are provided on a plastic sheet and folded between adjacent holding pieces and between the holding pieces and the bottom piece. An eye was formed, a cut was made between adjacent bottom pieces, and the bottom pieces were overlapped while forming a continuous portion of the holding pieces at a right angle to form a corner material for a pallet.

Further, the fold is easily bent by pressing it with a heat bar to form a thermal crease.

[0008] Then, such corner materials are arranged at the four corners of the pallet, the overlapping bottom pieces of the corner materials are fixed to the pallet with screws or the like, and the lower end corner of the sleeve surrounding the article on the pallet holds the corner material. The staples were fixed along the inside of the piece.

[0009]

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

A corner material for a pallet shown in an unfolded state in FIG. 1 is made of a square plastic sheet 1 made of polypropylene, polyethylene, or the like, and a pair of holding pieces 2 and A bottom piece 3 is provided. A fold 4a is formed between the adjacent holding pieces 2 and between the holding piece 2 and the bottom piece 3, and a cut 4b is formed between the adjacent bottom pieces 3.

Here, the fold line 4a may be a normal crease line, but if it is a heat crease line which is pressed by a heat bar and deformed by heating, it becomes easier to bend.

In order to pack an article using such corner material, as shown in FIG. 2, the bottom piece 3 is overlapped with the bottom piece 3 while bending the continuous portion of the holding piece 2 at a right angle. As shown, the overlapping bottom pieces 3 of the corner material are
With screws 6.

The pallet 5 is made of metal or plastic in order to prevent damage to the article due to moisture or insect damage, and the screw 6 is made of a tapping screw that can be screwed into the pallet 5 without a pilot hole. .

As shown in FIG. 4, the corner material is attached to the four corners of the pallet 5 and a corrugated cardboard sleeve 7 surrounding the article placed on the pallet 5 is placed at the lower end corner inside the holding piece 2 of the corner material. Set along.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 5, the sleeve 7 is reinforced from the inside with a paperboard angle member 8 inserted as a support post and a beam, and a staple 9 is driven into the corner material so as to reach the beam, and the sleeve 7 is moved. When it is fixed and covered with the lid 10, a package as shown in FIG. 6 is formed.

As described above, when the corner material as described above is used, the sleeve 7 can be easily fixed to the pallet 5 even if the pallet 5 is made of metal or plastic that cannot be directly stapled. .

The pallet 5, which is more durable than a wooden pallet, can be used repeatedly over a long period of time if only the corner material is replaced, so that an increase in waste and a waste of resources can be suppressed.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention, the corner material obtained by bending the plastic sheet is attached to the four corners of the pallet, and the lower end corner of the sleeve surrounding the article on the pallet is fixed to the corner material by staples or the like. So even if the pallet is made of metal or plastic,
The sleeve can be easily fixed to the pallet.
