Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pallet used for transporting and storing loads and the like, and a girder member used for the pallet.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, in the fields such as packaging and logistics, from the viewpoint of protection of the global environment and reuse of limited resources, strict regulations have been placed on "restricting acceptance of imported products using wooden pallets that cannot be recycled". There are some countries that provide Wooden pallets are indispensable for the transportation of products, but from the perspective of protecting the natural environment, they are a limited consumption of forest resources, and in view of increasing international public opinion,
It is definitely in the direction of restricted use. In this respect,
Pallets made of corrugated cardboard are not only lightweight and have high quality, but also products that emphasize natural environment protection.
It is getting attention.

A conventional corrugated board pallet is constructed by interposing a plurality of cylindrical paper tubes between a rectangular top board and a bottom board made of corrugated board so that their axes are along the load direction. What has been done is known. On the lower surface of the top plate and the upper surface of the bottom plate, there are provided standing portions formed by cutting a part of the corrugated board and bending the corrugated board in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plate surface. By inserting and adhering to the inside, reliable fixing is achieved. Since such a standing portion is provided, since the paper tube has a small area on the upper and lower surfaces, sufficient bonding strength cannot be achieved by bonding only at this portion, and there are obstacles such as girders. This is because it may occur.

In addition to the above, as a girder member of a conventional corrugated board pallet, there are a square tube type supporting a top plate and a bottom plate by opposing surfaces of a square tube, and a laminated type in which a plurality of flat plates are stacked in a load direction. Things are known.

[0005]

However, in the conventional pallet using the paper tube as the girder member, since the area of the upper and lower surfaces (joint surface) of the paper tube is small as described above, the space between the paper tube and the paper tube is small. The distance becomes relatively large. Therefore, if an unbalanced load acts on a portion of the top surface of the top plate (the surface on which the article is placed) corresponding to the space between the paper tubes (for example, the weight is relatively large, There is a problem that the top plate may be deformed when an article having a small contact area is placed on a portion of the top surface of the top plate corresponding to the space between the paper tubes. As a countermeasure for this, it is conceivable to arrange a large number of paper tubes at a short pitch, but there is a problem such as an increase in weight and an increase in the number of parts required for assembly work and cost. Is not enough.

Further, in order to obtain a sufficient joint strength, it is necessary to adopt a structure in which the above-mentioned standing portion is inserted into and bonded to the inside of the paper tube. When changing the number, it is necessary to change the structures of the top plate and the bottom plate, and there is a problem that it may not be possible to flexibly meet user needs.

In addition, from the viewpoint of improving the water resistance, when the water repellent film is attached to the surface of the pallet, there is a problem that the above-mentioned standing portion and the like become an obstacle and the work is not easy.

On the other hand, in the conventional pallet using the square-tube type girder member, since the inside of the girder member is hollow, the load bearing capacity of the girder member is not sufficient. If a corrugated board material having high strength is used as the corrugated board forming the rectangular tube-shaped girder member, the load bearing capacity of the girder member can be improved, but if a corrugated board material having high strength is used, a problem such as an increase in cost occurs. , Is not a sufficient solution.

Further, in the conventional pallet using the laminated type girder member, since the area of the joint surface with the top plate can be increased, deformation of the top plate due to an unbalanced load can be prevented, but flat plates are laminated. Since the process is required, the assembly work is extremely complicated.

The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to suppress the deformation of the top plate due to an unbalanced load, to freely change the installation position of the girder member, and to perform water repellent processing. An object of the present invention is to provide a girder member and a pallet using the girder member, which can realize an easy assembling work including the above and can obtain sufficient load resistance without using a corrugated board material having high strength.

Said) and supported by. That is, since the upper plate and the lower plate are supported by the side plate composed of the four plate parts and the inner plate composed of the eight plate parts, a high load resistance can be realized in the vertical direction. Further, since the deformation of the side plate is suppressed by the inner plate, it is possible to realize high load resistance against a load in an oblique direction. Of course, the upper plate and the lower plate may be used upside down.

Further, by simply enlarging the lateral sides of the respective plate portions, it is possible to secure a sufficient joint area with the top plate or the bottom plate which constitutes the pallet without significantly increasing the weight as a whole. Therefore, without adopting a special structure for improving the bonding strength with a top plate or the like as in the past,
It is possible to realize sufficient bonding strength. In addition, along with this, the positions of the girder members can be arbitrarily selected without changing the configuration of the top plate or the like that constitutes the pallet, and the distance between the girder members can be increased without increasing the number of girder members. Since it can be shortened, it is possible to sufficiently suppress the deformation of the top plate due to an unbalanced load. Further, the work of attaching the water repellent film becomes easy.

In the present invention, the term "corrugated board" is not limited to the one made of paper, but includes those made of paper-like products such as plastic sheet materials and laminating materials alone or in combination. Also, "substantially rectangular"
The term “includes a rectangle”, and the term “rectangle” refers to a quadrangle whose corners are right angles, including a square.

Since it is supported by the inner plate made of, it is possible to realize high load resistance in the vertical direction. Further, since the side edge (vertical side) of the inner plate is in contact with the inner surface of the side plate, the deformation of the side plate is suppressed by the inner plate, and thereby high load resistance is achieved even with respect to diagonal loads. You can Therefore, it is possible to provide a pallet having a good load bearing performance.

Moreover, the area of the upper plate and the lower plate of the girder member 4 can be increased without increasing the weight of the girder member 4, so that a sufficient bonding area with the top plate 2 or the bottom plate 3 can be secured. Therefore, the occurrence of obstacles such as out-of-digits is reduced. In addition, since it is possible to realize sufficient bonding strength without adopting a special structure for improving the bonding strength with the top plate or the like as in the past, it is possible to use the standardized top plate, bottom plate and girder member. By using the pallet, it is possible to easily manufacture a pallet according to various specifications in which the number and position of the girder members are different, the number of parts and the number of assembling steps can be reduced, and an inexpensive pallet can be provided.

When a water-repellent film is attached to improve waterproofness, the top plate 2 and the bottom plate 3 are flat, that is, because there is no standing portion unlike the conventional one.
The work is extremely easy, and since the girder member has a substantially parallelepiped shape, it is also easy to attach the water-repellent film to a portion to be exposed on the surface. In addition, if the girder member is unfolded before assembly, a water-repellent film is attached to necessary parts, or if the water-repellent film is attached at the corrugated board stage and then cut, further work can be performed. It will be easy.

In the above-described embodiment, the glue margin portion M is provided on the first plate portion P1, but it may be provided on the fourth plate portion P4. Further, such a glue margin portion is omitted, and the first plate portion P1 and the fourth plate portion P1
The vertical sides of the plate portion P4 may be directly connected by an adhesive, or may be connected via an independently formed margin portion (for example, a joining member having a substantially L-shaped cross section). You may do it. Further, the connection at the margin portion is not limited to the adhesive, and the connection may be made together with the adhesive or independently using other connecting means such as a stapler or a binding band.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, the corresponding plate portions P1 to P20 are integrally connected via the first to third and fifth to twentieth folding margin portions B1 to B3 and B5 to B20. However, the space between them may be separated. In this case, as the connecting means, various kinds of means similar to the above-mentioned glue margin portion and others can be adopted.

Next, a modified example of the above embodiment will be described below. That is, in the embodiment described above,
20th plate part P17-P20 and 6th and 8th kerf C
It is possible to have a configuration in which 6, 6 and 8 are omitted. In addition, the fourteenth and eighteenth plate portions P14, P18, the sixteenth and twentieth
Plate portions P16, P18, and sixth and eighth cut grooves C6, C
8 can be omitted. In these modified examples, the load resistance is slightly lower than that of the above-described embodiment, but there is an advantage that the configuration is simplified.

The thirteenth to twentieth plate portions P13 to P20
Can be omitted. Although the load resistance is further reduced, there is an advantage that the configuration is further simplified. In this case, there is no portion corresponding to the upper plate of the girder member (lower plate when the top and bottom are used upside down), but since there is a substantially cross-shaped inner plate, there is a substantially rectangular side plate. By bonding the edge portion and the edge portion of this inner plate, it is possible to secure a certain degree of bonding strength. If necessary, it is advisable to adopt the same reinforcing means as described below.

When it is necessary to further improve the load resistance of the girder member 4 of the above-described embodiment, the conventionally used paper tube is accommodated in the girder member 4 so as to be accommodated. You may do it. In this case, the axial direction of the paper tube is aligned with the vertical direction so that both end surfaces of the paper tube are aligned with the girder member 4.
It may be provided so as to contact the upper plate and the lower plate. Even in this case, there is an advantage that only the work of housing the paper tube inside the girder member 4 is increased, and other operations can be handled without changing the configuration at all. The reinforcing member housed inside the girder member in order to improve load resistance is not limited to the paper tube as described above, and has, for example, a parallelepiped outer shape that fits into the inner space of the girder member. It may be a member. It is also possible to reduce the size only while maintaining the same configuration as the girder member of the present embodiment, and to arrange the girder member in the internal space in a fitting manner.

By the way, there is a case where an outer box is used to protect the luggage while the luggage is placed on the pallet as described above. In this case, the outer box can be fixed to the pallet. convenient. Countermeasures therefor will be described below with reference to FIG.

As shown in FIG. 3, the girder member 4 of the pallet 1 is provided with a mounting hole 5 penetrating inward and outward in a substantially central portion of its side plate. The mounting holes 5 can be easily formed by forming through holes in the first to fourth plate portions P1 to P4 in a corrugated board state. On the other hand, similar mounting holes are formed in the outer box 6 at positions corresponding to the mounting holes 5 of the respective girder members 4. If the outer box 6 is covered from above with the luggage placed on the pallet 1, the mounting holes 5 of the girder member 4 and the mounting holes of the outer box 6 face each other. By fitting the pin member 7 as a fixing means from the outside, the outer box 6 is fixed to the girder member 4.

The shape of the mounting hole 5 is not particularly limited, and may be round,
Oval, rectangular, and other shapes can be adopted. The pin member 7 as the fixing means is made of plastic, for example,
A releasable lock structure (not shown) is provided for preventing a slip-out after insertion, which has a tubular portion inserted into the mounting hole 5 and a flange portion for preventing the pin member 7 from entering the girder member 4. Those that have can be adopted.

As the position of the mounting hole 5, in the above example,
The side plate (first to fourth plate portions P1 to P4) of the girder member 4 is substantially in the center, and in this case, the end of the inner plate is located on the rear surface side of the mounting hole 5, If the mounting of the member 7 is hindered, it can be easily dealt with by forming a notch in a corresponding part of the inner plate. If the position of the mounting hole 5 is eccentric from the central part of the plate part and is formed in a portion where the inner plate is not located, such a problem does not occur, which is convenient.

As another example of attaching the outer box, a structure as shown in FIG. 4 can be shown. A rectangular opening 8 is formed in the vicinity of the side plate of the upper plate of the girder member 4, and when the girder member 4 is arranged between the top plate 2 and the bottom plate 3 of the pallet, the opening 8 of the girder member 4 is set to the top plate 2. The pallet is assembled with a part of the girder member 4 protruding so as to be exposed along the side edge of the pallet. On the other hand, the opening 8 at the lower edge of the outer box 6
A protrusion 9 having a shape that fits into the opening 8 is provided at a position corresponding to the above, and the protrusion 9 of the outer box 6 is fitted into the corresponding opening 8 of the girder member 4 to form the outer box. 6 can be fixed to the pallet.

It is arbitrary which of the plurality of beam members 4 supporting the top plate 2 adopts such a structure, but it is arranged along the side edge of the top plate 2, for example. Such a configuration can be adopted for the girder members 4 except the ones located at the corners of the top plate 2 among the girder members 4 thus formed. The shape of the opening 8 of the girder member 4 and the shape of the protruding portion 9 of the exterior box 6 corresponding thereto are not limited to those shown in FIG. 4 and may be other shapes.

In this example, since the girder member 4 having the opening 8 is slightly projected from the top plate 2 and the bottom plate 3, the girder member 4 may be slightly modified to change the structure of the top plate 2.
It is also advantageous in that the configuration of the bottom plate 3 is not changed. However, the girder member 4 may be arranged as shown in FIG. 1, and the top plate 2 may be formed with an opening (not shown) corresponding to the opening 8 of the girder member 4.

The embodiments described above are described for facilitating the understanding of the present invention, and are not described for limiting the present invention. Therefore, each element disclosed in the above-described embodiment is intended to include all design changes and equivalents within the technical scope of the present invention.

For example, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the pallet in which the girder member is interposed between the top plate and the bottom plate is explained, but the girder member according to the present invention is applied to the pallet without the bottom plate. Good.

[0068]

According to the girder member and the pallet according to the present invention, it is possible to suppress the deformation of the top plate due to an unbalanced load while improving the joint strength with the top plate or the bottom plate and to reduce the weight, and the installation position of the girder member. Can be freely changed and the assembling work including water repellent treatment can be realized, and sufficient load resistance can be obtained without using a corrugated board material having high strength.
