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-like article include a glass plate such as an automobile window glass. Even for articles such as glass plates that need to be handled so as not to be damaged, pallets have been conventionally used because of the need to rationalize physical distribution activities.

As a conventional pallet for a glass plate, there is a disposable pallet using a wooden pallet and a corrugated cardboard, but since it takes time and money to dispose of waste such as wood and corrugated cardboard, 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.

In order to satisfy such a demand, a post pallet has been proposed in which struts are provided at four corners of a pallet base so as to be foldable, and the pallets can be folded to reduce the size of the pallet when it is returned. (For example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 1-44422, Japanese Utility Model 3-).

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to fix a plate-like article placed on a pallet, for example, a glass plate, the belt body is generally tightly bound so that the plate-like article is perpendicular to the vertical direction and the plane of the plate-like article. The plate-like article is fixed along the direction (see, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 51-15712 and Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 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, and the lateral fixing of the glass plate is insufficient. The glass plate may be damaged during distribution.

Further, in order to fix the lateral position of the glass plate, a large number of holes for inserting the fixing pins are formed, and the holes for inserting the fixing pins are selected according to the size and the mounting amount of the glass plate. There is a palette of different forms.

However, in order to securely fix the article, a large number of holes must be machined while increasing the precision of their forming positions, which increases the processing cost per pallet, resulting in Moreover, it has been difficult to achieve a reduction in distribution costs.

The present invention has been made in order to solve the problems associated with the above-mentioned prior art, and relates to a plate-like article which is placed in a state of being placed vertically in a direction substantially parallel to the plane of the plate-like article. An object of the present invention is to provide a post pallet for plate-like articles, which can be securely and easily achieved with a simple structure, and which does not hinder miniaturization when the pallet is not used.

[0011]

According to the present invention for achieving the above object, a plate-like article is vertically mounted on a pallet base, and columns are folded at four corners of the pallet base. In a post pallet for a plate-shaped article that is freely provided, a pedestal that is provided on the pallet base and supports a lower end edge of the plate-shaped article and two adjacent columns are connected to each other. A holding portion provided on the frame body for holding one surface of the plate-like article, an upper holding means for fixing the plate-like article along the vertical direction, and a direction substantially orthogonal to the surface of the plate-like article Along with the surface pressing means for fixing the plate-like article, and the side pressing means for fixing the plate-like article along a direction substantially parallel to the surface of the plate-like article, the side presser The means is rotatably mounted on the pallet base via a lever member. The side contact portion that is movable toward and away from the side edge of the plate-like article and the side position of the side contact portion are continuously adjusted and fixed, and the side contact portion is fixed. A side contact portion fixing means for pressing the side edge portion,
The post pallet for a plate-shaped article, wherein the side contact portion moves to a position substantially parallel to the pallet base when the pillar is folded.

In the post pallet for a plate-like article having such a structure, the plate-like article placed on the pedestal is fixed in the vertical direction by the upper pressing means, and is fixed to the surface of the plate-like article by the surface pressing means. It is fixed along a substantially orthogonal direction. Further, the side contact portion is rotated to move closer to the side edge of the plate-like article, and is brought into contact with the side edge. Since the lateral contact portion is rotatably provided on the pallet base via the lever member, the lateral position of the lateral contact portion can be adjusted steplessly. Then, by fixing the lateral position of the lateral abutting portion by the lateral abutting portion fixing means and pressing it against the side edge of the plate-shaped article, it is possible to move the side along the direction substantially parallel to the surface of the plate-shaped article. The plate-like article is fixed. With the simple structure of fixing the rotatable side contact portion, it is possible to reliably and easily achieve the fixing of the plate-shaped article along the direction substantially parallel to the surface of the plate-shaped article. In addition, since the side contact portion moves to a position substantially parallel to the pallet base when the pillar is folded, miniaturization is not hindered when the pallet is not used.

Further, the lateral abutting portion has a hollow pipe shape, and the lateral abutting portion fixing means is inserted into the hollow pipe-shaped lateral abutting portion and both ends thereof are the pallet base. A belt body detachably attached to the belt body and a binding means for binding the belt body to each other.

According to this structure, the lateral abutting portion is pressed against the side edge of the plate-like article by a simple operation of binding the belt body inserted in the hollow pipe-shaped lateral abutting portion, The plate-like article is fixed.

The upper pressing means is detachably attached to the frame body and adjusts the upper and lower positions of the upper abutting portion abutting against the upper edge of the plate-like article and the vertical position of the upper abutting portion in a stepless manner. And an upper contact portion fixing means for pressing the upper contact portion against the upper end edge, and the upper contact portion is detached from the frame when the pillar is folded. And

According to this structure, the upper contact portion presses the upper edge of the plate-like article, and the plate-like article is fixed in the vertical direction. Since the vertical position of the upper contact portion is adjusted steplessly, even if the type of the plate-like article to be placed is different and the vertical dimension is different, there is no problem in vertical fixing. Moreover, since the upper abutting portion is removed from the frame when the pillar is folded, the miniaturization when the pallet is not used is not hindered.

Further, the upper contact portion fixing means tightly binds the belt member to a belt body which is connected to the upper contact portion and has both ends detachably hooked to the pallet base and the frame body. And a bondage means.

According to this structure, the upper contact portion is pressed against the upper edge of the plate-like article by a simple operation of binding the belt body connected to the upper contact portion, and the plate-like article is fixed. .

Further, the surface pressing means is fixed to the pedestal, and a first contact portion that contacts the vicinity of a lower edge of one surface of the plate-like article and another surface of the plate-like article. The second contact portion provided on the pedestal so as to be movable toward and away from the pedestal, and the position of the second contact portion with respect to the pedestal is adjusted and fixed steplessly, and the second contact portion is fixed on the second contact portion. The second contact portion fixing means for pressing the other surface in the vicinity of the lower edge is provided.

According to this structure, the second contact portion is moved closer to the other surface of the plate-like article and brought into contact with the vicinity of the lower end of the other surface. Since the second contact portion is movably provided on the cradle, the position of the second contact portion with respect to the cradle can be adjusted steplessly. Then, by fixing the position of the second contact portion by the second contact portion fixing means and pressing the second contact portion to the vicinity of the lower end of the other surface of the plate-like article, the plate-like article contacts the first contact portion and the second contact portion. It is sandwiched between the contact portion and fixed along a direction substantially orthogonal to the surface of the plate-like article. Since the position of the second contact portion with respect to the pedestal is adjusted steplessly, even if the number and thickness of the plate-shaped articles to be placed are different, there is no problem in fixing in the plane orthogonal direction.

Further, the surface pressing means includes a third contact portion provided on the upper contact portion so as to be movable toward and away from the other surface of the plate-like article, and the third contact portion with respect to the upper contact portion. The position of the third contact portion is continuously adjusted and fixed, and the third contact portion is fixed.
Third contact portion fixing means for pressing the contact portion near the upper edge of the other surface.

According to this structure, the third contact portion is moved closer to the other surface of the plate-like article and brought into contact with the vicinity of the upper end of the other surface. Since the third contact portion is movably provided on the upper contact portion, the position of the third contact portion with respect to the upper contact portion can be adjusted steplessly. Then, if the position of the third contact portion is fixed by the third contact portion fixing means and is pressed near the upper end of the other surface of the plate-like article, the plate-like article becomes the third contact portion and the holding portion. It is sandwiched between them and fixed along a direction substantially orthogonal to the surface of the plate-like article. Since the position of the third abutting portion with respect to the upper abutting portion is adjusted steplessly, even if the number and thickness of the plate-shaped articles to be placed are different, there is no problem in fixing in the plane orthogonal direction.

Further, the cushioning member interposed between the individual plate-like articles placed vertically is made of a paper material such as kraft paper or cardboard.

In the post pallet for plate-like articles according to the present invention, the plate-like articles placed on the receiving table are securely fixed in three directions, that is, the vertical direction, the plane orthogonal direction and the plane parallel direction. An inexpensive paper material may be used as the cushioning member.

The plate-like article is a glass plate such as an automobile window glass.

Even a glass plate having a complicated three-dimensional shape, such as a window glass for an automobile, which needs to be handled so as not to be damaged, should be placed on a pallet for domestic or international distribution. Therefore, logistics activities can be performed reasonably.

[0027]

According to the invention as set forth in claim 1, the plate-like article has a simple structure in which the rotatable side contact portion is fixed, and the plate-like article extends in a direction substantially parallel to the plane of the plate-like article. Can be reliably and easily achieved. In addition, since the side contact portion moves to a position substantially parallel to the pallet base when the pillar is folded, miniaturization is not hindered when the pallet is not used.

Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1 (A) and 1 (B) are front and side views showing an assembled mode of a post pallet for a plate-like article according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 2 shows the post pallet. 3A and 3B are a plan view, a front view and a side view showing a form in the middle of folding the post pallet, and FIG.
FIGS. 5A and 5B are a front view and a side view showing a state in which the post pallet is completely folded and returned to the pallet, and FIG.
(A) is a perspective view conceptually showing a state in which the post pallet is loaded in a container when assembling a pallet on which articles are placed, and (B) is a perspective view showing the post pallet in a container when returning the pallet. It is a perspective view which shows a state notionally.

The post pallet 20 for a plate-like article according to the present embodiment is used as a plate-like article, for example, for transporting a glass sheet G such as a window glass for an automobile, and for the purpose of repeated use. This is a palette for repeated use.

The general structure of the post pallet 20 will be outlined below, and then each constituent element will be described in detail in order. In this specification, for convenience of description, the front-rear direction, the up-down direction, and the left-right direction of the post pallet 20 and each component are shown in FIG.
The directions are indicated by arrows in (A) and (B).

<< Overall Structure of Post Pallet 20 >> As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the post pallet 20 has a pallet base 21 on which a glass plate G is vertically mounted. Guide posts 22f and 22r (collectively referred to as “22”) attached to the four corners of the base 21
Front and rear four columns 23f and 23r (collectively referred to as “23”) are provided so as to be foldable. 4 props 2
Among the three, the rear columns 23r are connected to each other via the crosspieces 24 and 25 to form a back frame body 26 (corresponding to a frame body). Therefore, the two front columns 23f are individually folded, but the rear columns 23r are integrally folded as the back frame 26.

The pallet base 21 is provided with a pair of left and right pedestals 27, 27 for supporting the lower edge of the glass plate G extending along the front-rear direction. Further, the back frame 26 is provided with a pair of left and right back stoppers 28, 28 (corresponding to holding portions) for holding one surface S1 of the glass plate G vertically placed on the pedestal 27. There is.

In order to fix the placed glass sheet G, the post pallet 20 is provided with an upper holding means 30, a surface holding means 31, and a side holding means 32. The upper holding means 30 presses the upper edge of the glass plate G downward to fix the glass plate G in the vertical direction. The surface pressing means 31 presses the surface of the glass plate G and fixes the glass plate G along a direction substantially orthogonal to the front and back surfaces of the glass plate G, that is, the front-back direction. Also, the side pressing means 32
Presses the side edges of the glass plate G to fix the glass plate G in a direction substantially parallel to the front and back surfaces of the glass plate G, that is, in the left-right direction. In the present embodiment, the surface pressing means 31
Includes a lower stopper 33 that presses near the lower end edge of the surface of the glass plate G and an upper stopper 34 that presses near the upper end edge of the surface of the glass plate G. In particular, the upper stopper 34 is the upper pressing means 30. Built into.

At the time of assembling a pallet in which the glass sheets G are placed and transported, the post pallets 20 are stacked in two rows in two stages and stacked in the container 35, as shown in FIG. 5 (A). On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 3B, when the pallets are returned, the containers 3 are stacked in two rows, for example, 10 layers.
5 is loaded. By increasing the number of loading stages of the post pallets 20 at the time of returning the pallets, in other words, by reducing the height of the post pallets 20 at the time of returning the pallets, the number of containers to be used can be reduced and the distribution cost can be reduced. We are aiming to reduce the cost, and ultimately the product cost. Of course, the size of the post pallet 20 at the time of assembling the pallet is also downsized. An example of the maximum external dimensions of the post pallet 20 is as follows: When the pallet is assembled: width 1700 x height 1100 x depth 11
40mm When returning the pallet: width 1700 x height 260 x depth 11
It is 40 mm.

The post pallet 20 is a four-way pallet having insertion holes 36 for inserting the fork claws of a forklift in four directions, front and rear and left and right, and is convenient for loading and unloading containers and trucks. I am aiming for sex. Furthermore, since the size of the post pallet 20 in the left-right (width) direction is reduced, even if a relatively short fork pawl 37 is used, as shown by the phantom line in FIG.
2/3 or more of the pallet width dimension can be supported by the fork claw 37. Therefore, even if a standard forklift is used, the safety during loading and unloading work can be ensured, and it is not necessary to separately prepare a large forklift dedicated to the post pallet 20 and the like, which leads to an increase in equipment cost. There is no.

<< Pallet Base 21 >> FIG. 6 is a perspective view showing a pallet base of a post pallet, FIG. 7 (A) is a perspective view showing a lower frame of the pallet base, and FIG.
It is sectional drawing which follows the 7B-7B line of the same figure (A).

As shown in FIG. 6, the pallet base 21 of the post pallet 20 has a rectangular upper frame 41 composed of a plurality of frame members 40 and a lower frame fixed to the lower surface side of the upper frame 41. 42 and. The frame member 40 is made of a hollow square pipe having a rectangular cross section in order to reduce the weight of the entire pallet. On the upper surface of the upper frame 41, except for a substantially central portion, a floor plate 43
Is attached. On the other hand, a substantially central portion of the upper frame 41 is a pocket 45 to which a floor plate 44 is attached from the lower surface side and which opens upward. This pocket 45
Is a belt body 114, 152 or a binding means 11 which will be described later.
It is used to store 5,153, etc. When parts that are removable from the post pallet 20 are stored separately from the pallet 20 when the pallet is returned, these parts may be lost. However, if the parts are stored in the pocket 45 and the pallet 20 is returned, It is possible to prevent such parts from being lost. In addition, the floor plate 43 on the upper frame 41 is used as a step for loading and unloading the glass plate G, so that the posture of the worker can be easily maintained.

It should be noted that instead of forming the pocket 45, the substantially central portion of the upper surface of the upper frame 41 may be covered with one floor plate 43. In this case, the floor plate 43 can be simply attached, and since there is no unevenness, the appearance is improved.

The lower frame 42, as shown in FIG.
It has skis 46 and 47 which are attached to the front, rear, left and right of the lower surface of the upper frame 41 to form an installation surface. Left and right skis 4
7 and the lower surface of the upper frame 41 between the ski reinforcement member 4
8 are provided (see FIG. 6). A guard plate 51 is provided between the front and rear skis 46 and the lower surface of the upper frame 41.
Is provided (see FIG. 6). In addition, a fork claw cover 49 is provided so that the skis 46, 47 on the front, back, left and right are connected.
Is provided. The fork claw cover 49 is provided so as to be continuous with each of the insertion ports 36, and has a cross-sectional shape like a dish turned down as shown in FIG. 7B.

For example, when only the upper side post pallet 20 is taken out of the post pallets 20 stacked in two layers, the fork claw 37 is inserted into the insertion port 36 of the upper side post pallet 20. During this work, the fork pawl 37 swings (tilts) in the vertical direction, but the tilt of the fork pawl 37 to the lower side is restricted by the cover 49. Therefore, the glass plate G placed on the lower post pallet 20 is prevented from being damaged by the fork claws 37.

<< Post 23 and Guide Post 22 >> FIG. 8

As shown in FIGS. 8 (A) and 9 (A), each strut 23 is made of a hollow square pipe having a rectangular cross section, and its lower end portion has a guide post 22.
And, the support column 23 is inserted into the holding space formed by the corners of the pallet base 21 and is held in the standing position. An anti-sway 60 is formed so as to project from the column 23, and a receiving groove 61 with which the anti-sway 60 is engaged is formed at the upper end of the guide post 22. Anti-flaking 60 of the pillar 23
By engaging with the receiving groove 61, the deflection of the column 23 at the standing position is prevented.

A pin 63 is attached near the lower end of the column 23. The pin 63 is movable within the bulging portion 58 of the guide post 22 as the support column 23 moves between the upright position and the tilted position.
By hitting the upper end of the inner surface of the
The "posture" of the support column 23 from is prevented.

The pin 63 is attached to the support column 23 when the support column 23 is first assembled to the guide post 22. Specifically, first, the support column 23 is inserted into the guide post 22 and vertically adjusted and moved, and then the through hole 59 of the bulging portion 58 is formed.
And the pin mounting hole (not shown) of the support column 23 are matched. Then, the pin 63 is inserted from the through hole 59 of the bulging portion 58 and screwed into the pin mounting hole, whereby the mounting of the pin 63 on the support column 23 is completed. The pin 63 functions as a retainer for the support post 23 from the guide post 22 and does not receive a load. Therefore, the pin 63 only needs to have a size and strength that function as a retainer.

As shown in FIGS. 8 (A) and 9 (A), by inserting the lower end portions of the columns 23 into the holding space and engaging the anti-flare 60 with the receiving groove 61, the columns 23 are separated. ,
It is held in the standing position while preventing shake. To move the column 23 from the standing position to the tilted position,
As shown in (B) and FIG. 9 (B), first, the support column 23 is lifted upward to release the engagement between the anti-flare 60 and the receiving groove 61, and then the front support column 23f is rotated clockwise. Then, the rear column 23r may be rotated counterclockwise. As shown in FIG. 8 (B), the front support columns 23f are folded on the left and right frame members 40 of the pallet base 21, and the rear support columns 23r are folded first as shown in FIG. 9 (B). It is folded on the front side pillar 23f that has been opened.

Reference numeral "64" shown in FIGS. 9 (A) and 9 (B) indicates a guide plate provided only on the rear guide post 22r, and the rear support column 23r is tilted over the front support column 23f. Alternatively, the rear support 23r is guided along the guide plate 64 when the front support 23f is raised from above.

<< Back Frame 26 and Back Stopper 28 >> FIG.
As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 2, the back frame body 26 is configured by connecting left and right rear columns 23r to each other via two laterally extending crosspieces 24 and 25, and from the center to the left and right direction. A mounting bar 70 extending in the vertical direction is provided at each of the equidistant positions to connect the two bars 24 and 25 to each other. A back stopper 28 is provided on the mounting bar 70 so as to be rotatable around a pin 71. Further, a stopper rail 38 to which a pressing plate 110 of an upper pressing means 30 described later is attached is provided at a central position of the back frame 26.

FIG. 10A is a side view showing the holding portion attached to the back frame, and FIG. 10B is a side view of FIG.
It is sectional drawing which follows the B-10B line.

As shown in FIG. 10A, the back stopper 28 as a holding portion is a cushioning material 72 that comes into contact with one surface S1 (front surface) of the glass plate G vertically placed on the receiving table 27.
A pair of support plates 73 connected to the mounting bar 70 via the pins 71, a pair of upper and lower receiving plates 74 and 75 connecting the support plates 73 and holding the buffer material 72, and the buffer material 72. Lower support plate 75 to prevent the
And a retaining plate 76 riveted to the lower end of the. As shown in FIG. 10B, a flange portion 77 is formed by bending at the front end of each support plate 73, and this flange portion 77 engages with a groove 78 formed in the cushioning material 72 to support the cushioning material 72. The plate 73 is integrated.

The plate-like article of the present embodiment is a window glass for an automobile, and has one surface (for example, the front surface located outside the vehicle interior), the other surface (for example, the rear surface located inside the vehicle interior), and the upper and lower ends. Both the edge and the left and right side edges have a complicated three-dimensional shape. Therefore, when the contact surface of the cushioning material that contacts the glass surface S1 is flat, the glass surface S1 and the contact surface are 1
There is a risk that the glass plate G will come into contact with each other at a point and the load will concentrate on this one point, resulting in damage to the glass sheet G. Here, it is also possible to prepare a plurality of cushioning materials having a curvature that matches the glass plate G to be mounted and to select the cushioning material according to the type of the glass plate G to be mounted. However, in such a structure, since the work of replacing the cushioning material is required, not only the use of the pallet becomes extremely complicated, but also the price of the pallet is increased.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, the contact surface of the cushioning material 72 is formed into a concave R (R) when viewed from the side as shown in FIG. 10 (A), and is shown in FIG. 10 (B). Thus, it is formed so as to have a tapered gradient when viewed from the top. As shown clearly in FIG. 2, left and right cushioning material 72
In, the gradient direction is symmetrical. According to the cushioning material 72 formed in this manner, even if the glass plate G is different in type and the curvature of the glass surface S1 is different, the glass surface S1 and the cushioning material 72 are in contact with each other at at least two points. It is possible to reliably prevent the glass plate G from being broken by being dispersed, and the work of replacing the cushioning material 72 is unnecessary, and the use of the pallet 20 is not complicated.

The cushioning material 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 may be further provided to urge the elastic force in the direction of pressing the cushioning material 72 toward the glass surface S1.

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

<< Cushioning Member 160 Between Glass Plates G >> As shown in FIG. 19, a cushioning member 160 is interposed between the individual glass plates G placed vertically. In this post pallet 20, the upper holding means 30 and the face holding 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. Taking window glass for automobiles as an example, corrugated board 161 is used in the case of wind-sealed glass made of laminated glass because it is relatively weak, and crafted in the case of rear window glass or door glass made of tempered glass. You can use paper.
Also, as the corrugated board 161, a cheaper single-sided corrugated board than double-sided corrugated board can be used. In this case, the corrugated core 162 is used as the surface S1 of the window glass for automobiles.
It is preferable that the liner 163 located on the side (outside the vehicle compartment) and attached to the center core 162 is located on the glass back 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 rear surface S2 side and the core 162 are rubbed with each other to generate paper dust or break the wire.

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

When the glass plate G is placed on the post pallet 20, first, the back frame 26 is held in the standing position, and each side presser is pressed as indicated by the phantom line A1 in FIG. 1 (A). Means 3
The second side stopper 146 is expanded to the left and right. At this time, it is better to lay the front support column 23f in the tilted position because the working space for placing the glass plate G becomes wider and the workability is better. Next, as shown in FIG. 3B, the glass plate G is vertically placed on the pedestal 27 so that the glass plate G is slightly inclined from the vertical direction and leans against the back stopper 28. At this time, a mark (not shown) previously attached to the lower end of the glass plate G is indicated by the instruction line 170 of the pedestal 27.
Then, the glass plate G is placed on the screen. Thereafter, the glass plates G are sequentially placed on the pedestal 27 while the cushioning 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 and 18 sheets of rear window glass).
(0 sheets) After mounting, the front support column 23f is held in the standing position, and the upper holding means 30, the surface holding means 31, and the side holding means 32 are used to move the glass plate G back and forth, right and left, in the above-described procedure. Fully secure along the three vertical directions. The upper pressing means 30, the surface pressing means 31, and the side pressing means 32 are configured so that the fixing position can be adjusted steplessly, and the workability at the time of fixing work is extremely good.
Further, compared to a pallet having a conventional structure in which pins are selectively inserted and fixed in a plurality of formed holes, the glass plate G is more firmly fixed, and the number of machining points is smaller, so that the pallet manufacturing cost is reduced. Therefore, it is possible to achieve a reduction in distribution cost and product cost.

As clearly shown in FIG. 1 (A), the window glass for an automobile has a trapezoidal shape whose lower end side is wide. Therefore, the side pressing means 32 for pressing the side edge of the glass plate G is used. Also, the glass plate G is prevented from being lifted up and down and fixed along the up-down direction.

Even if the size of the glass plate G to be placed is different, the upper holding means 30, the surface holding means 31, and the side holding means 32 can adjust the fixing positions steplessly. The workability during the fixing work is good, and there is no obstacle to the fixing of the glass plate G. For example, in the side pressing means 32, as shown by the phantom line A2 in FIG. 1 (A), if the rotation position of the side stopper 146 is changed and the belt body 152 is properly bound, different kinds of glass plates can be obtained. Even G can be fixed securely.

Loads in various directions are applied to the post pallet 20 due to sudden start, sudden stop, vibration, or the like during transportation or work by a forklift. For example, when the inertial force due to the sudden stop acts in the direction indicated by the solid arrow B1 in FIG. 1 (B) from the rear to the front, the glass sheet G tries to move in the direction of the arrow B1. Although the impact at this time is extremely large, the third shock absorbing material 120 provided on the upper stopper 34 of the surface pressing means 31 rotates around the pin 126 in accordance with the inclination of the glass plate G, and the compression spring 132 moves. The impact is absorbed by elastically deforming. By this, the glass plate G
Is prevented from being damaged. According to the proof test by the present inventors, an experiment was performed using an upper stopper without the compression spring 132 as a proportionality, and it was confirmed that in the case of laminated glass, it could not withstand the impact and cracked. The effectiveness of the compression spring 132 has been confirmed.

When the inertial force acts in the direction from the front to the rear indicated by the broken line 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-side stopper 8 in the lower stopper 33 of the surface pressing means 31 is
The load bearing capacity of No. 5 may be smaller than the load bearing capacity 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 protrusion 55 of the upper pallet is fitted into the upper end opening of the column 23 of the lower pallet to prevent collapse of stacking. Further, since the fork claw cover 49 is connected to the insertion ports 36 provided in the four directions, the fork claw 37 does not damage the glass plate G placed on the lower pallet.

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

When all the glass sheets G have been taken out and the post pallet 20 is to be returned, as shown in FIG.
As shown in (B), the front support column 23f folded first
The back frame 26 may be folded on top of. At this time, the belt bodies 114 and 152 and the binding means 115 and 153 are housed in the pocket 45 located at the substantially central portion of the upper frame 41, and the loss of parts when returning the pallet is prevented.
When each pillar 23 moves to the tilted position, the post pallet 2
The total height of 0 is the height of the guide post 22, and the miniaturization at the time of returning the pallet can be achieved. The post pallet 20 is also connected in multiple stages even when returned, but at this time, the connection protrusion 55 of the upper pallet fits into the upper opening of the guide post 22 of the lower pallet to prevent collapse of stacking. To be done.

Further, when the column 23 is folded, the side stopper 146 is rotated around the pin 151 to a position substantially parallel to the pallet base 21, so that miniaturization is prevented when the pallet is not used. There is no such thing.

In the above-described embodiment, an automobile window glass having an arc surface is exemplified as the plate-like article, but the plate-like article to be placed on the post pallet according to the present invention has both front and back surfaces formed flat. The glass plate can also be placed. Furthermore, the post pallet according to the present invention is not limited to the glass material, and a plate-shaped wooden panel, a metal panel, a resin panel, or the like can be placed, and the post pallet according to the present invention can be used in a wide range of applications. .
