[0003]

In such a pallet structure, in recent years, integration of pallet size standards has been promoted for the purpose of improving transportation efficiency. However, especially when handling box-shaped volume-type luggage, pallets that meet such standards may cause non-compliance with large-sized pallets and use nonstandard pallets. in this case,
The use of non-standard pallets is contrary to the integration of pallet standards, causing a reduction in transportation efficiency and also requires the pallets to be stored separately from those within the standards when storing. There has been a problem that the operation is complicated.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of such conventional problems, and satisfies the conditions for integration of pallet standards while forming a plurality of pallets so as to be freely connectable. It is another object of the present invention to provide a structure of a pallet which can deal with the above problem and also avoids complicated storage.

[0005]

According to the present invention, there is provided a pallet having a predetermined standard size and formed by joining upper and lower plate members formed in a flat plate shape with a joining member. A member separate from the pallet
A connecting member that engages with a through-hole provided through the longitudinal direction of the joining member located at both ends of the pallet , and a connecting member that is connected to the through-hole on one of upper and lower surfaces of the plate member. A fixing member that locks the connecting member by being inserted from a plurality of formed holes, and a connecting member is fitted into the through-hole with the end faces of the two pallets abutting each other, and The pallets are connected by inserting a fixing member.

The connecting member is separate from the pallet.
Consists of the rod, with the two pallets each other through holes butt end face so as to communicate, is fitted to the rod-shaped member into the through hole may be so as to connect the pallet in the longitudinal direction. Further, the connecting member is made of a U-shaped member, and the U-shaped member is fitted into the through-hole in a state where the end faces of the two pallets are abutted in parallel so that the through-holes of the two pallets are in contact with each other. It can also be made to connect in a direction.

[0007]

According to this structure, in the case of non-standardized goods, one pallet is used as a pallet, but in the case of non-standardized goods, the two pallets are brought into contact with each other at the end faces thereof. The two pallets are connected and used by fitting the connecting members into through holes provided in the joining members located at both ends of the pallets.

That is, for example, in the case of a baggage that is long in the vertical direction, the rod-shaped member as the connecting member is fitted into the through-hole with the end faces abutting each other so that the through-holes of the two pallets communicate with each other. Two pallets are used by connecting them vertically. If the baggage is long in the horizontal direction, 2
The U-shaped member as the connecting member is fitted into the through-hole in a state where the end faces of the two pallets are in contact with each other so that the through-holes of the two pallets are in parallel contact with each other, and the two pallets are used by being connected in the lateral direction.

As described above, a plurality of pallets can be vertically and horizontally connected in accordance with the size of the load while satisfying the conditions for integrating the pallet specifications, so that even a box-type load exceeding the standard can be obtained. It can be dealt with freely according to the size of the luggage. Further, in the pallet storage, since the connected pallets can be stored in a disassembled single state, it is not complicated.

Further, a plurality of holes communicating with the through holes are formed on one of the upper and lower surfaces of the plate member, and a fixing member for locking the connecting member by inserting from the hole is provided. The connection can be strengthened.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. First, the structure of the pallet according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. That is, in FIG. 1, the pallet body 10 is configured such that the deck boards 11 a and 11 b constituting upper and lower surfaces as plate members are separated by digits 12 a and 12 b.
b, 12c, and the digits 12 at both ends are connected.
a, 12b have through holes 13, 13 penetrating in the longitudinal direction.
Are drilled. The dimensions of the pallet body 10 are as follows:
Standard dimensions integrated predetermined dimensions, for example, 1100 mm x 1
It has dimensions of 100 mm.

A rod-shaped member 14 as a connecting member as shown in FIG. 2 can be inserted into the through holes 13, 13. And on the deck board 11a on the upper surface,
A plurality of holes 15, 15,... Communicating with the through holes 13, 13, are formed, and the rod-shaped members are inserted by inserting fixing pins 16, 16 as fixing members as shown in FIG. 14 is locked. The rod-shaped member 14 has a dimension substantially twice as long as the vertical dimension of the pallet body 10, and the portions located in the holes 15, 15,..., As shown in FIG. And a flange 14a for positioning is provided at one end.

Next, a method of connecting pallets according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. This shows a case where the device is long and is used for nonstandard cargo. First, the end faces of the two pallets 10 are abutted so that the through holes 13 of the pallets 10 communicate with each other. Next, in this abutted state, the rod-shaped member 14 is inserted into the through hole 13 from the end 14b opposite to the side where the flange 14a is provided.

Finally, the fixing pin 16 is inserted through the holes 15, 15, and the constricted portion of the rod-shaped member 14 is
a, the rod-shaped member 14 is locked,
The two pallets 10, 10 can be connected and fixed in the vertical direction. In this way, as a single unit, while satisfying the conditions of integration of pallet standards, by forming a plurality of pallets so as to be freely connectable in the vertical direction, even in box-type packages exceeding the standard, according to the size of the package I can deal with it.

In the storage of the pallets, since the connected pallets can be stored in the state of the single pallet 10 which is disassembled, the operation is not complicated. Next, another embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. That is, the pallet 10 is constructed by connecting the pallets 10, 10 in the lateral direction. The structure of the pallet body 10 is the same as that of the embodiment of FIG. 1, except for the shape of the connecting member. Therefore, the same components are denoted by the same reference numerals and description thereof will be omitted.

That is, the connecting member is composed of a U-shaped member 17, and the legs 17a, 1 having the same cross-sectional shape as the rod-shaped member 14.
7a, through holes 1 between two pallets 10, 10
The leg 1 of the U-shaped member 17 is inserted into the through-holes 13 with the end faces abutting each other so as to contact in parallel.
7a and 17a are fitted, and the pallets are connected in the horizontal direction.

According to this, it is possible to cope with a non-standard baggage which is long in the lateral direction according to the size of the baggage.
The same effect as the above embodiment can be obtained.

[0018]

As described above, according to the present invention,
The joining member located at opposite ends of the pallet, provided with a through hole penetrating in the longitudinal direction, to engage the through hole, Palais
The pallet is integrated with the pallet standard because the pallet can be connected vertically and horizontally by connecting the pallet vertically and horizontally, with the connecting member separate from the pallet and with the end faces of the two pallets abutting against each other. While satisfying the condition (1), it is possible to cope with a box-type package exceeding the standard according to the size of the package, and to avoid complicated storage.

Further, a plurality of holes communicating with the through holes are formed on one of the upper and lower surfaces of the plate member, and a fixing member for locking the connecting member by inserting from the hole is provided, so that the pallet is connected. Can be strengthened.
