DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is used for storing or transporting a plate-like article, for example, a glass sheet such as a window glass for an automobile, and the plate-like article is placed vertically on a pallet base. The present invention relates to an improvement of a post pallet for a plate-shaped article, which is placed and has columns foldably provided at four corners of the pallet base.

2. Description of the Related Art With the recent increase in domestic distribution and international distribution, pallets in which goods are packed in a unit quantity and placed in order to perform logistics activities such as cargo handling, transportation and storage are developed. It is heavily used. There are various kinds of articles, and examples of the plate-shaped article include a glass sheet such as a window glass for an automobile. Pallets have been conventionally used even for articles that need to be handled so as not to be damaged, such as glass sheets, because logistics activities need to be performed rationally.

As a conventional pallet for a glass plate, there is a disposable pallet using a wooden pallet and corrugated cardboard. However, since the disposal of waste such as wood and corrugated cardboard requires time and expense, there is a problem that the distribution cost increases. was there. Further, since the strength of the cardboard is reduced due to dew condensation or the like in the distribution process, it has been difficult to secure stable quality (strength, etc.) of the pallet during use.

[0004] Therefore, a reusable pall (reusable pall) made of steel or the like for the purpose of repeated use is used.
et) is used. In order to reduce distribution costs, it is necessary to increase the number of pallets that can be loaded in one container having a limited internal volume. It is required that the size when the pallet is used can be reduced and the size when the pallet used repeatedly is returned can be reduced.

[0005] In order to satisfy such a demand, a post pallet has been proposed in which pillars are provided at four corners of a pallet base so as to be freely foldable, and by folding the pillars, the size of the pallet when returning the pallet can be reduced. (For example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 1-4442, Japanese Utility Model Publication
No. 11150).

[0006]

In order to fix a plate-like article, for example, a glass plate, placed on a pallet, a belt is generally tied up so as to be substantially perpendicular to the vertical direction and the plane of the plate-like article. The plate-shaped article is fixed along the direction (for example, see Japanese Utility Model Publication No. Sho 51-15712 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. Sho 58-42309).

However, in the pallet disclosed in the above publication, there is no means for fixing the glass plate along a direction substantially parallel to the surface of the glass plate, so that the lateral fixing of the glass plate is insufficient. There is a possibility that the glass plate may be damaged during distribution.

In order to fix the lateral position of the glass plate, a large number of holes for inserting fixing pins are formed, and the holes for inserting the fixing pins are selected according to the size of the glass plate and the amount to be placed. There are pallets in different forms.

However, in order to securely fix an article, it is necessary to machine a large number of holes with high precision in forming positions, which increases the processing cost per pallet, and consequently increases the processing cost. In addition, it has been difficult to achieve a reduction in distribution costs.

The plate 73 is integrated.

The plate-shaped article of the present embodiment is a window glass for an automobile, and has one surface (for example, a surface located outside the vehicle compartment), another surface (for example, a back surface located in the vehicle compartment), and upper and lower ends. Both the edge and the left and right side edges have a complicated three-dimensional shape. For this reason, when the contact surface of the cushioning material contacting the glass surface S1 is flat, the glass surface S1 and the contact surface are 1
There is a possibility that the glass plate G may be damaged by contact at a point and the load is concentrated on this one point. Here, it is also conceivable to prepare a plurality of cushioning materials having a curvature that matches the glass plate G to be mounted, and to select a buffering material according to the type of the glass plate G to be mounted. However, in such a configuration, the work of replacing the cushioning material is required, so that not only is the use of the pallet extremely complicated, but also the price of the pallet increases.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the contact surface of the cushioning member 72 is formed in a concave R (R) as viewed from the side as shown in FIG. 10A, and is shown in FIG. Is formed so as to have a tapered gradient when viewed from above. As is clearly shown in FIG.
In, the gradient directions are symmetric. According to the cushioning material 72 formed in this manner, even if the type of the glass plate G is different and the curvature of the glass surface S1 is different, the glass surface S1 and the cushioning material 72 are in contact at at least two points. The glass plate G can be dispersed to prevent the glass plate G from being damaged, and the work of replacing the cushioning material 72 is unnecessary, so that the use of the pallet 20 is not complicated.

The cushioning member 72 is made of, for example, a rubber elastic material such as EPDM, but the material is not limited to this. Further, a spring or the like for urging a resilient force in a direction of pressing the buffer material 72 toward the glass surface S1 may be further provided.

<< Receiving Stand 27 >> As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the receiving stand 27 for supporting the lower edge of the glass plate G is provided at a position equidistant from the center in the left-right direction of the pallet base 21. It is provided extending along the front-rear direction. When the back frame 26 is folded, the receiving stand 27 and the back stopper 28
The pedestal 27 is provided with a back stopper 28 so that the
It is provided so that it may be located to the left and right outside.

FIG. 11 is a schematic perspective view showing the receiving base and the lower stopper of the surface pressing means attached to the receiving base.

The pedestal 27 has a pedestal 80 having a U-shaped cross section, a receiving plate 81 attached near the upper end opening of the pedestal 80, and a cushioning material 82 attached to the upper surface of the receiving plate 81. As described above, the lower edge of the automotive window glass has a complicated three-dimensional shape, and the glass plate G
The shape of the lower end edge is also different depending on the type. For this reason, in the present embodiment, the receiving table 27 is rotatably supported by the bracket 83 provided on the pallet base 21. With this configuration, even if the type of the glass plate G is different, the receiving base 27 rotates in accordance with the shape of the lower edge of the glass plate G, so that the lower edge of the glass plate G can be reliably supported. .

The cushioning member 82 is made of rubber elastic material such as EPDM, for example, but the material is not limited to this.

As shown in FIG. 11 and FIG.
An instruction line 170 is provided on the cushioning member 82 along the center line of the cradle 27. The operator places the glass plate G vertically on the receiving table 27 while aligning a mark (not shown) preliminarily attached to the lower end of the glass plate G with the instruction line 170. By providing the indicating line 170 indicating the mounting position in this manner, the workability of the mounting operation is improved, and the deviation from the predetermined position is reduced even when a large number of glass plates G are mounted vertically, A predetermined number of glass plates G
Can be reliably mounted. The indicator line 170 may be, for example, a form in which a white paint is applied, but in order to prevent peeling due to contact with the glass plate G, a groove is formed in the buffer material 82, and the groove is filled with a white resin material. Is preferred.

FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional view showing a structure for preventing the receiving stand from shifting in the left-right direction.

Since the receiving base 27 is relatively long and has a structure rotatably supported at both ends, the strength at a substantially middle position along the longitudinal direction is relatively weak, and the strength is excessively large in the horizontal direction. If an impact is applied, there is a risk of deformation. Here, it is conceivable to increase the strength by increasing the thickness of the pedestal 80 of the receiving stand 27, but the weight increases, and the reduction of the tare weight of the post pallet 20 cannot be achieved.

Therefore, in this embodiment, in order to increase the mechanical strength of the pedestal 27 while reducing its weight, the pedestal 2
A holding rod 84 that contacts the outer surface of the pedestal 80 is fixed to the frame member 40 by welding. The holding rod 84 is formed of a round bar member and is provided at four positions (see FIG. 2). Further, since the presser rod 84 is fixed by being brought into contact with the arc-shaped outer peripheral surface of the pedestal 80, the receiving stand 27 is provided with the presser rod 84.

As shown in FIG. 1A, the lower edge of the glass plate G in the present embodiment has a downwardly convex arc shape. Therefore, for example, when the inertial force due to a sudden stop acts in the direction from right to left, the glass plate G also tends to move in the same direction. As a result, it hardly acts on the right receiving stand 27 and concentrates on the left receiving stand 27. From this point, in the present embodiment, the right pedestal 27 is held only on the right side of this pedestal 27, and the left pedestal 27 is held only on the left side of this pedestal 27, that is, only on the outer side of each pedestal 27. A rod 84 is provided. Note that, depending on the shape of the article to be placed, the holding rods 84 may be provided on both the left and right sides of each receiving stand 27.

<< Side Holding Means 32 >> FIG. 18A is a schematic perspective view showing the side holding means, and FIG. 18B is an enlarged sectional view showing the end of the side stopper of the side holding means. is there.

The side pressing means 32 are provided so as to form a pair in the left-right direction. Each side pressing means 32 is rotatable on the pallet base 21 via a support lever 145 (corresponding to a lever member). And a side stopper 146 (corresponding to a side abutting portion) which is movable toward and away from the side edge of the glass plate G, and a side on which the side position of the side stopper 146 is continuously adjusted and fixed. The glass plate G is fixed in the left-right direction by pressing the two side stoppers 146 on the left and right ends of the placed glass plate G.

The side stopper 146 has a hollow pipe 148 functioning as a core material, and a buffer 149 attached to the outer periphery of the pipe 148. Cushioning material 1
49 is formed of, for example, a rubber elastic material. One end of a pair of front and rear support levers 145 is connected to the pipe 148, and the other end of the support lever 145 is connected to the pallet base 21.
Pin 15 is attached to bracket 150 provided near the left and right ends of
1. Accordingly, the side stopper 146 moves toward and away from the side edge of the glass plate G by rotating about the pin 151.

When the columns 23f and 23r are folded, the side stopper 146 rotates about the pin 151 to a position substantially parallel to the pallet base 21.

The side contact portion fixing means 147 is similar to the above-mentioned upper contact portion fixing means 111, and has a belt body 152,
And a binding means 153 for binding the belt body 152. Both ends of the pipe 148 are opened.
The belt body 152 is inserted through 48. As shown in FIG. 18B, rings 154 for preventing the belt body 152 from being damaged are attached to both ends of the hollow pipe 148. Both ends of the belt body 152 are folded back to form a hole 155, which is hooked to a belt stopper 156 provided in front of and behind the pallet base 21. A gap is provided between the tip of the belt stopper 156 and the pallet base 21, and through this gap, the belt 152
Hole 155 can be easily hooked. Also,
As the binding means 153, for example, a known means having a ratchet mechanism is used.

The fixing of the glass plate G by the side stopper 146 is performed as follows. First, side stopper 1
46 is rotated about the pin 151 to abut on the side edge of the glass plate G. Then, each of the holes 155 of the belt body 152 is hooked on the belt stopper 156, and the binding means 153
Is activated to bind the belt body 152, the glass plate G

As described above, the position at which the side stopper 146 is fixed can be adjusted in a stepless manner only by the simple operation of operating the binding means 153 with the belt body 152 applied. Will fluctuate,
The left and right edges of the placed glass sheet G can be firmly held between the pair of side stoppers 146, and the glass sheet G can be fixed along the left and right directions.

Since the belt body 152 is inserted into the side stopper 146, the side stopper 1
There is no need to attach a hook or to form an attachment hole at 46, and the configuration of the side pressing means 32 can be simplified.

<< Buffer 160 Between Glass Plates >> As shown in FIG. 19, a buffer member 160 is interposed between the individual glass plates G which are placed vertically. In this post pallet 20, the upper pressing means 30, the surface pressing means 31
Since the glass plate G is sufficiently fixed by the side pressing means 32, the cushioning member 160 may be a paper material such as kraft paper or cardboard 161. For example, in the case of window glass for automobiles, corrugated cardboard 161 is used in the case of a window seal glass made of laminated glass because the strength is relatively weak, and in the case of a rear window glass or a door glass made of tempered glass, craft is used. You can use paper.
Further, as the corrugated cardboard 161, a single-sided corrugated cardboard which is inexpensive as compared with a double-sided corrugated cardboard can be used.
It is preferable that the liner 163 bonded to the core 162 be positioned on the glass rear surface S2 side (inside the vehicle compartment) and interposed between the glass plates G. In this way, there is no possibility that the rear defogger wire or the antenna wire 164 provided on the glass back surface S2 side and the center core 162 will rub against each other to generate paper dust or break.

<Operation> Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described.

When placing the glass plate G on the post pallet 20, first, the back frame 26 is held in the upright position, and as shown by the imaginary line A1 in FIG. Means 3
The two side stoppers 146 are extended right and left outward. At this time, if the front support 23f is laid on the inclined position, the work space for mounting the glass plate G is widened and the workability is good. Next, as shown in FIG. 7B, the glass plate G is placed vertically on the receiving table 27 so as to be slightly inclined from the vertical direction and lean on the back stopper 28. At this time, a mark (not shown) preliminarily attached to the lower end of the glass plate G is indicated by an indication line 170 on the receiving stand 27.
The glass plate G is placed in accordance with. Thereafter, the glass plates G are sequentially placed on the cradle 27 while the buffer member 160 made of kraft paper or the like is interposed between the glass plates G.

A predetermined number of glass plates G (for example, 100 sheets of window seal glass, 18 sheets of rear window glass)
When the loading is completed, the front support 23f is held in the upright position, and the upper and lower holding means 30, the surface holding means 31 and the side holding means 32 move the glass plate G back and forth, left and right and right and left in the above-described procedure. It is sufficiently fixed along the three vertical directions. The upper holding means 30, the face holding means 31, and the side holding means 32 are configured so that the fixing position can be adjusted steplessly, and the workability during the fixing work is extremely good.
Furthermore, the fixing of the glass plate G is stronger than that of the conventional pallet in which pins are selectively inserted and fixed in a plurality of formed holes, and the number of machined parts is small, so the pallet manufacturing cost is reduced. It is possible to reduce distribution costs and product costs.

As clearly shown in FIG. 1 (A), the window glass for automobiles has a wide trapezoidal shape at the lower end, so that the side pressing means 32 presses the side edge of the glass plate G. Also, the glass plate G is fixed along the vertical direction while preventing the glass plate G from rising up and down.

Further, even if the size of the glass plate G to be placed is different, the upper holding means 30, the face holding means 31 and the side holding means 32 can adjust the fixing position steplessly. The workability during the fixing operation is good, and there is no problem in fixing the glass plate G. For example, in the side pressing means 32, as shown by the imaginary line A2 in FIG. 1 (A), if the rotation position of the side stopper 146 is changed and the belt body 152 is appropriately tightened, different types of glass plates can be used. G can be fixed securely.

Loads in various directions are applied to the post pallet 20 by sudden start, sudden stop, vibration or the like at the time of transportation or working with a forklift. For example, when an inertial force due to a sudden stop acts in a direction from the rear to the front indicated by a solid arrow B1 in FIG. 1B, the glass sheet G tends to move in the direction of the arrow B1. Although the impact at this time is extremely large, the third cushioning member 120 provided on the upper stopper 34 of the surface pressing means 31 rotates about the pin 126 in accordance with the inclination of the glass plate G, and the compression spring 132 The impact is absorbed by the elastic deformation. Thereby, the glass plate G
Is prevented from being damaged. According to a verification test by the present inventors, when an experiment was performed using an upper stopper without the compression spring 132 as a comparative example, it was confirmed that in the case of laminated glass, the laminated glass could not withstand the impact and break. Thus, the effectiveness of the compression spring 132 has been confirmed.

When an inertial force acts in a direction from front to back as indicated by a broken arrow B2 in FIG. 1B, the glass plate G is originally placed so as to lean against the back stopper 28. Therefore, the back stopper 28 can sufficiently absorb the impact. From this point, the fixed stopper 8 in the lower stopper 33 of the surface pressing means 31 is used.
The withstand load of 5 may be smaller than the withstand load of the moving-side stopper 86, and the fixed-side stopper 85 may be smaller than the size of the moving-side stopper 86.

When the post pallets 20 are connected in multiple stages, the connection projections 55 of the upper pallet are fitted into the upper end openings of the columns 23 of the lower pallet, thereby preventing collapse of the stack. Further, since the fork claw cover 49 is connected to the insertion ports 36 provided in four directions, the glass plate G placed on the lower pallet is not damaged by the fork claw 37.

Glass plate G placed on post pallet 20
When taking out, only the front support 23f is folded on the left and right frame members 40 of the pallet base 21 (FIG. 3).
(See (B)), the upper holding means 30 is loosened and removed from the back frame 26, the moving stopper 86 of the lower stopper 33 is loosened, and the side stoppers 146 of the respective side holding means 32 are expanded right and left outward. Since the glass plate G is placed so as to lean against the back stopper 28, each holding means 3
The glass sheet G does not fall even if the pins 0, 31, and 32 are released.

When all the glass plates G have been taken out and the post pallet 20 is to be returned, FIG.
(B) As shown in FIG.
