Abstract

PURPOSE:To close the gaps of a lattice to prevent articles from dropping therefrom and safely transport the articles, by fitting a corrugated deck plate and fixing it on the upper face of pallet body in which the upper and lower base members are assembled as a lattice. CONSTITUTION:A plurality of upper base materials 5 parallelly arranged at every distance to cross at right angles to lower base materials, are fixed on a plurality of lower square base materials 4 parallelly arranged at every distance. And stoppers 6 are fixed at the four sides to form a pallet body 2. A deck plate 3 made of a plate with a corrugated section in which crests 7 and roots 8 are alternately formed along the uneven face defined by the base materials 5, 4, is fitted on the pallet body 2 and fixed thereto. When the height of crests 7 is made lower than the upper base material 5, the upper face of the crests 7 where loaded articles substantially contact is bent upward and the articles are prevented from being damaged and hence, the work to slide the articles on the pallet 1 and transfer them is facilitated.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pallet used when a large number of articles are collectively transported.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As this type of pallet, for example,
It is known that it is used as a loading platform when unloading goods with a forklift, and upper and lower base materials consisting of multiple squares or plates are assembled in a rectangular grid, and the fork of the forklift is inserted on the lower surface side. There is a structure in which a gap is secured.

[0003]

In the pallet as described above, there is a gap between the base materials. Therefore, depending on the articles to be loaded, the articles may come from the gaps due to the collapse of the load during transportation. There is a possibility that it may fall, and in that case there are restrictions such as requiring careful carrying work, and it was necessary to give sufficient consideration to safety.

The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and it is an object of the present invention to provide an article conveying pallet capable of preventing articles from falling and realizing safer conveying.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to achieve the above-mentioned object, and it is provided on a plurality of lower base materials which are in the form of square bars arranged at a distance from each other and intersect these lower base materials. And, by fixing a plurality of square-shaped upper base material arranged at intervals with respect to each other, a pallet body in which each upper base material and each lower base material are assembled in a grid pattern, and at least an upper base material, It is characterized in that it is provided with a cover plate that covers and fixes the upper surface of the pallet body so as to close the gap between the lower base materials.

Further, the cover plate is made of a plastic material and has a corrugated cross section in which peaks and valleys are alternately formed along the uneven surface formed by the upper base material and the lower base material, Further, the height of the mountain portion is set lower than that of the upper base material.

[0007]

According to the article transporting pallet of the present invention, since the gap between the base members is closed by the cover plate, the loaded articles do not fall through the gap. Further, the cover plate is made of a material having plasticity and has a corrugated cross section in which peaks and valleys are alternately formed along an uneven surface formed by the upper base material and the lower base material, and By setting the height of the mountain portion lower than that of the upper base material, it becomes possible to deform the upper surface of the mountain portion on which the loaded article substantially hits into an upwardly convex curved surface. Most of the damage is avoided and the work of sliding and moving the articles on the pallet becomes easier.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Pallet 1 of one embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 to 3.
Is composed of a pallet body 2 and a deck plate (cover plate) 3 which is fixed by covering the upper surface of the pallet body 2. The pallet body 2 is arranged on a plurality of square-shaped lower base members 4 which are arranged in parallel with each other at intervals, orthogonal to the lower base members 4 and arranged in parallel with each other at intervals. A plurality of square-shaped upper base materials 5 are fixed, the respective base materials 4, 5 are assembled in a lattice shape, and further stopper plates 6 are fixed on four sides.
There is a gap 2a between the five.

In this case, the pallet body 2 has a rectangular shape in plan view, and a lower base material 4 extends in the short side direction (width direction) and an upper base material 5 extends in the long side direction (longitudinal direction). It is preferable that each of the base members 4 and 5 is made of a material having sufficient rigidity such as wood and steel. If it is made of wood, it is fixed to each other by a fixing means such as nailing or an adhesive, and if it is made of steel, welding or the like. Has been done.

As shown in FIG. 4, the deck plate 3 has alternating peaks 7 and valleys 8 along the uneven surface formed by the upper base material 5 and the lower base material 4 of the pallet body 2. The plate material has a corrugated cross section and is formed in a rectangular shape in plan view having a size that substantially covers the entire upper surface of the pallet body 2. This deck plate 3 is made of plastic steel or stainless steel,
In the manufacturing state, the peaks 7 and the corners 7a at both ends of the valley 8 are
8a is formed substantially at a right angle. The height of the crests 7 is set lower than the height (thickness) of the upper base material 5, and the deck plate 3, the crests 7 and the troughs 8 with respect to the upper surface of the pallet body 2 are The inner surface of the mountain portion 7 is relatively pushed up by the upper base material 5 in a state where the mountain portion 7 is fitted and fixed according to the uneven surface, and as a result, as shown in FIG. 5, the upper surface of the mountain portion 7 is gently convex upward. The curved surface 9 becomes a curved surface, and the corners 7a at both ends are located slightly below the apex of the curved surface 9.

The above is the configuration of the pallet 1 of this embodiment. According to this pallet 1, articles are loaded on the deck plate 3 and a fork (not shown) of a forklift is inserted between the lower base materials 4. To carry the goods. By covering the deck plate on the pallet body 2 in which the lower base material 4 and the upper base material 5 are assembled, the gap 2a between the base materials 4 and 5 is closed, and thus the gap is formed as in the conventional case. There is no risk of articles falling from 2a,
Therefore, the transfer work can be performed safely and quickly.

The articles loaded on the deck plate 3 are substantially placed on the top surface of the mountain portion 7 of the deck plate 3. This upper surface becomes the curved surface 9 as described above,
Moreover, since the corners 7a at both ends are located below the apex of the upper surface and do not hit or hit the article, damage to the article is almost avoided, and the work of sliding the article on the pallet 1 to move the article can be performed. Easy to use and greatly improved in usability.

[0013]

As described above, according to the article transporting pallet of the present invention, the gap between the base members is closed by the cover plate, so that the loaded articles are prevented from falling through the gap. Safe transport work can be realized. Further, the cover plate is made of a material having plasticity and has a corrugated cross section in which peaks and valleys are alternately formed along an uneven surface formed by the upper base material and the lower base material, and If you set the height of the mountain lower than the upper base material,
It is possible to deform the upper surface of the mountain portion where the loaded articles substantially hit into an upward convex curved surface, so that damage to the articles is almost avoided and the articles are slid and moved on the pallet. It will be easier to do the work.
