The support member 1 is made of foamed resin and is made of, for example, expanded polystyrene (EPS (Expanded Polystyrene)).

The pallet 2 is used as a loading platform when carrying the cargo C by a forklift or the like, and in the illustrated example, one side is formed in a rectangular flat plate shape longer than the other side. In the following description, the long side direction of the pallet 2 is referred to as direction D, and the short side direction orthogonal to this direction D is referred to as direction E. The pallet 2 is made of, for example, an off-the-shelf product made of wood, plastic or metal, and has a fork insertion port 21 on its side surface into which a fork of a forklift is inserted. In the illustrated example, the luggage C has a roll shape extending along the direction D, and for example, two luggages C1 and C2 are supported by the support member 1 in a state of being adjacent to each other via their respective circumferential surfaces.

As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the support member 1 is composed of three support members 1a, 1b, and 1c in the illustrated example. The support members 1a, 1b, and 1c have the same shape as each other, the support members 1a, 1b are arranged on each of the two sides extending parallel to the direction E on the pallet 2, and the support members 1c are parallel to the direction E. It is arranged in the center of the pallet 2.

Each support member 1 is provided on a rectangular flat plate-shaped main body portion 11, a mounting portion 12 provided on the upper surface of the main body portion 11 on which luggage is placed (see FIG. 2A), and a lower surface of the main body portion 11. It is provided with a plurality of protrusions 13 (see FIG. 2B) provided and used for attachment to the pallet 2. The main body 11 is formed in a long shape having a side having a length substantially equal to that of the pallet 2 extending along the direction E as a long side. That is, the short side direction of the pallet 2 is the long side direction (direction D) for the support member 1, and the long side direction of the pallet 2 is the short side direction (direction E) for the support member 1. Each protrusion 13 is formed in a substantially cubic shape and is arranged in parallel with the direction E. The protrusions 13 are one set in which a pair of protrusions 13 are arranged side by side along the short side direction (direction D) of the main body 11, and four such sets are spaced apart from each other along the direction E. Have been placed.

The protrusions 13 of the support members 1a and 1b fit into the lattice recesses 22 recessed in the upper surface of the pallet 2. The lattice recesses 22 are provided in two along the direction E, and are composed of a total of 12 recesses arranged in a grid pattern so as to form three rows along the direction D and four rows along the direction E, respectively. Further, the protrusion 13 of the support member 1c fits into the extension recess 23 recessed so as to extend along the direction E on the upper surface of the pallet 2. A pair of extension recesses 23 are provided side by side along the direction D, and two such pairs are provided along the direction E. The support member 1 is detachably attached to the pallet 2 by fitting the protrusion 13 into the lattice recess 22 or the extension recess 23.

The main body 11 has recesses 14 formed so that a user's finger can enter the lower ends of both end faces in the long side direction (direction E). In the illustrated example, two recesses 14 are arranged side by side along the direction D at each end face. The support member 1 attached to the pallet 2 can be easily removed from the pallet 2 by inserting a finger into the recess 14 to pull up the support member 1 and pulling out the protrusion 13 from the lattice recess 22 or the extension recess 23.

It is composed of a part 12b. The mounting portions 12a and 12b are arranged on one end side and the other end side of the main body portion 11 in the direction E, and are formed in a concave curved surface shape along the outer peripheral surfaces of the luggage C1 and C2. Thereby, the luggages C1 and C2 mounted on the mounting portions 12a and 12b can be stably supported, and the luggages C1 and C2 can be prevented from rolling down from the loading portions 12a and 12b.

Each protrusion 13 has a chamfered chamfered portion 13a at the lower end on the outer side in the direction E. By providing such a chamfered portion 13a, when the support member 1 is removed from the pallet 2 by hooking a finger on the recess 14, the protrusion 13 is prevented from being caught in the lattice recess 22 or the extension recess 23, and the support member is prevented from being caught. 1 can be smoothly removed from the pallet 2. Further, in the main body portion 11, a lightening portion 15 is provided between the mounting portions 12a and 12b in order to reduce the weight of the support member 1 (see FIG. 3D).

As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, in order to attach the support member 1 to the pallet 2, after aligning the protrusion 13 with the lattice recess 22 or the extension recess 23, the support member 1 is attached to the pallet 2. Push it onto the top surface. As a result, the protrusion 13 fits into the lattice recess 22 or the extension recess 23, and the side surface of the protrusion 13 comes into contact with the side surface of the lattice recess 22 or the extension recess 23.

Here, as shown in FIG. 5A, the width L1 of the protrusion 13 in the direction D is configured to be shorter than the width L2 of the lattice recess 22 in the same direction. Further, in the pair of protrusions 13 arranged side by side, the width L3 between the outer side surface 13b of one protrusion 13 and the outer side surface 13b of the other protrusion 13 in the direction D is set. In two lattice recesses 22 adjacent to each other, the width L4 between the outer side surface 22a of one lattice recess 22 and the outer side surface 22a of the other lattice recess 22 in the direction D is substantially equal to the width L4. It is configured. As a result, each of the protrusions 13 comes into contact with the side surface 22a of the lattice recess 22 via the side surface 13b, and the inner side surface 13c of the protrusion 13 in the direction D is the inner side of the lattice recess 22 in the direction D. Does not come into contact with the side surface 22b of.

Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, the width L1 of the protrusion 13 is configured to be shorter than the width L5 of the extension recess 23 in the direction D. Further, in the pair of protrusions 13 arranged side by side, the width L6 between the side surface 13c of one protrusion 13 and the side surface 13c of the other protrusion 13 is the direction in the two extension recesses 23 adjacent to each other. It is configured to be substantially equal to the width L7 between the inner side surface 23a of one extension recess 23 and the inner side surface 23a of the other extension recess 23 in D. As a result, each of the protrusions 13 comes into contact with the side surface 23a of the extension recess 23 via the side surface 13c, and the side surface 13b of the protrusion 13 does not come into contact with the outer side surface 23b of the extension recess 23 in the direction D. ..

On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, in the direction E, the protrusions 13 of the support members 1a and 1b fit into the lattice recess 22 so as to abut the side surfaces of the lattice recess 22 on both side surfaces. Include. Further, as shown in FIGS. 7A and 7B, with respect to the support member 1c, only one of the side surfaces of the protrusion 13 in the direction E is in contact with the side surface of the extension recess 23.

As described above, in the support members 1a and 1b on both sides, three of the four side surfaces of the protrusion 13 (one surface in the D direction and two surfaces in the E direction) come into contact with the side surfaces of the lattice recess 22. Further, in the central support member 1c, two of the four side surfaces of the protrusion 13 (one surface in the D direction and one surface in the E direction) come into contact with the side surface of the extension recess 23. As a result, the support members 1a, 1b, and 1c can be securely attached to the pallet 2, and the support members 1a, 1b, and 1c can be easily removed from the pallet 2.

According to the support member 1 configured as described above, the support member 1 is securely attached to the pallet 2 via the protrusion 13, and even a load C such as a roll paper that is easy to roll and is soft can be placed on the pallet. 12 can be stably supported. Further, even if the luggage C is slightly shaken due to vibration during transportation or the like, the support member 1 is made of a foamed resin having an appropriate cushioning property, so that the support member 1 transports the luggage C without damaging it. be able to. When transporting the luggage C, as shown in FIG. 8, the support members 1 and the pallet 2 on which the luggages C1 and C2 are further placed are placed on the luggages C1 and C2 placed on the support members 1 and the pallet 2. It is possible to put it in some cases.

Further, since the support member 1 is made of a lightweight foamed resin, the weight can be reduced as compared with the conventional case where a frame material made of wood, plastic, metal or the like is used. Foam molding of the support member 1 is usually performed using a mold, but since the support members 1a and 1b that fit into the lattice recess 22 and the support member 1c that fits into the extension recess 23 have the same shape. Support members 1a, 1b, and 1c can be molded with one mold. Further, since only the support member 1 is foam-molded and the pallet 2 uses an off-the-shelf product, it is only necessary to prepare a mold that is much smaller than the case where both the support member 1 and the pallet 2 are foam-molded. It is possible to reduce the cost.

As the pallet 2, a general-purpose pallet made of plastic, wood or metal can be adopted as long as the recess 22 is formed in the above-mentioned shape. Foamed resin pallets may be used, but foamed resin pallets are more susceptible to damage than plastic or wood when the forklift is used and the fork is improperly inserted. .. Therefore, it is preferable that the pallet 2 is made of a material other than foamed resin, and the support member 1 in direct contact with the luggage C1 and C2 is made of foamed resin.

The support member according to the present invention and the pallet to which the support member is attached are not limited to the above-described embodiment and can be variously deformed. For example, the number of support members to be attached to the pallet is not limited to three, and two, four or more, or only one may be attached as being wide along the direction D. Further, the protrusions of the support member may be fitted into the recesses so that all four side surfaces thereof are in contact with the side surfaces of the pallet recesses. Further, in the above embodiment, the configuration in which the two luggage C1 and C2 can be mounted by the two mounting portions 12a and 12b is shown, but the mounting portions may be one or three or more. good.
