Description

  The present invention relates to an improvement of a tent warehouse using an existing pallet used when carrying a load.

Conventionally, large tent warehouses (see Patent Documents 1 and 2) and small tent warehouses (see Patent Document 3) are known.
However, the former ones can accommodate ordinary luggage or pallets loaded on pallets, but they are mostly heavy and fixed to the ground, so the tent warehouse itself or a tent that contains luggage The entire warehouse could not be moved by a forklift. On the other hand, although the latter can accommodate normal luggage, it is assumed that the luggage loaded on the pallet is accommodated, or that the tent warehouse itself or the entire tent warehouse with the luggage accommodated is moved by a forklift or the like. There wasn't.

Japanese Patent No. 3061560 JP 11-159197 A Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 6-67724

  In short, the conventional one can accommodate not only ordinary luggage but also luggage loaded on pallets, and it is not possible to move the tent warehouse itself or the entire tent warehouse with luggage accommodated using a forklift, etc. The appearance of such a thing was desired.

  The present invention was devised in view of the above-mentioned problems, and was devised to solve this problem. The problem is that it can accommodate not only ordinary luggage but also luggage loaded on a pallet, and a tent warehouse. The purpose is to provide a tent warehouse that can be moved by a forklift or the like while holding the tent warehouse with itself or luggage.

  The tent warehouse of the present invention basically includes a pallet that is provided with a fork pocket as a base, a spacer that is detachably attached to the pallet to form a predetermined gap around the pallet, and is attached to the spacer. The tent frame for forming a predetermined accommodation space above the pallet and the gap and the tent sheet that is detachably covered with the tent frame are characterized.

On the pallet serving as the base of the tent warehouse, normal luggage and luggage loaded on the pallet are placed and stored.
Since the tent sheet is detachably covered on the tent frame, the stored luggage is protected by rain and sun protection.
Since a predetermined gap is formed on the four circumferences of the pallet depending on the spacer, the accommodation space is widened by that amount, and the load does not come into contact with the tent frame or the like and are not damaged. This is particularly noticeable when the cargo loaded on the pallet is put in and out by a forklift or the like.
The tent warehouse in which the luggage is accommodated is stabilized according to the weight of the luggage and can be prevented from falling due to a strong wind.
Since the pallet is used as the base of the tent warehouse, it is not necessary to prepare a separate base, and the cost can be reduced accordingly.
If a fork such as a forklift is inserted into a fork pocket of a pallet in the tent warehouse, the tent warehouse itself and the entire tent warehouse accommodating the luggage can be moved.

  The spacer preferably includes an outrigger that can be grounded. In this way, stability can be increased and the tent warehouse can be prevented from falling over due to strong winds or the like.

  Of the gaps formed around the pallet, it is preferable to reduce the gap on the side where the fork is inserted. In this way, even if a fork such as a forklift is short, it can be easily inserted and transported.

  It is preferable that the tent frame includes a plurality of inverted substantially U-shaped gate-shaped frames arranged at predetermined intervals in the front-rear direction in which the fork is inserted. In this way, a storage space having a predetermined size can be formed.

  The tent frame is preferably extendable in the front-rear direction. In this way, the pallet can be exposed by contracting the tent frame, and loading and unloading can be performed easily.

  The tent sheet preferably includes at least one doorway and a door seat that can be rolled up to open and close the doorway. In this way, when the door seat is opened, the door seat is located at the upper side, so that it is possible to easily take in and out the luggage without being in the way.

  It is preferable that folding suspension means is provided between the tent frame and the door seat so that the door seat can be folded an appropriate number of times half from below and suspended above the entrance. In this way, it is possible to quickly obtain the degree of opening of the entrance / exit as needed in a stepwise manner.

  The folding suspension means includes a suspension hook provided in the tent frame above the entrance and a suspension ring that is provided at a folding position other than the uppermost position of the door seat and a lower end position and can be hooked on the suspension hook. It is preferable that a weight bar is provided at substantially the same position as each suspension ring for tensioning the door seat. If it does in this way, while being able to comprise by a simple structure, since the weight bar is provided, a door seat can always be kept in a tension | tensile_strength state and it can prevent that it is struck by a wind and swinging.

According to the present invention, the following excellent effects can be achieved.
(1) Consists of pallet, spacer, tent frame and tent sheet, especially pallet as a base with fork pockets, and spacer for detachably attaching to the pallet to form a predetermined gap around the pallet Therefore, not only ordinary luggage but also luggage loaded on pallets can be accommodated, and the tent warehouse itself or the entire tent warehouse with luggage accommodated can be moved by a forklift or the like.
(2) Since the pallet is used as a base, the pallet can be constructed using the existing pallet, the structure can be simplified and the cost can be reduced.
(3) Since a predetermined gap is formed on the four sides of the base pallet by spacers, a load can be loaded on the base pallet or a pallet of the same size. When a load loaded with luggage is placed, these operations can be performed very easily without colliding with a tent frame or the like.
