Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pallet capable of holding a load in a stable state during cargo handling work by a forklift or transportation by a vehicle.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As a pallet used for cargo handling or transportation, a flat pallet made of wood, metal, plastic or the like is usually used. Such a pallet has a flat loading surface and is not provided with a means for fixing a loaded object. Therefore, when a light object or an object having a high height relative to the mounting surface is loaded, the object may fall or be dropped from the pallet and damaged due to tilt or vibration during cargo handling work or transportation. In addition, when a plurality of loads are loaded on one pallet at the same time, the loads may collide with each other and may be deformed or surface-damaged when the pallet falls or falls.

In order to avoid such a danger, conventionally, the load is secured to the pallet by using wires or ropes. However, when loading a plurality of drums on one pallet, the load is firmly fixed. If you try to tie it up, the wires and ropes are thin and the cross-section is roughly circular, so the wires and ropes will bite and deform or damage the drum cans, or the contact parts between the drums will be deformed. There was an occasion. Therefore, in such a case, an auxiliary material such as cloth or styrofoam is applied between the wire or rope and the load, and between the loads to reduce the surface pressure.

[0004]

However, in the conventional lashing method as described above, the method of hanging the wire or rope is not constant depending on the person, and effective lashing is carried out without experience. In addition, most of the secondary materials are not reused, and there is a problem that a new one must be prepared each time. The present invention has been made to solve such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to easily fix a load and to standardize the load when a plurality of loads are loaded at the same time. It is another object of the present invention to provide a pallet with a retainer that does not deform or damage a load during cargo handling work or transportation.

[0005]

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the pallet of the present invention is provided on a surface on which a plurality of loaded articles each having a columnar outer shape is placed, and which is projected in a substantially vertical direction from the surface. A holder capable of holding the loaded objects so as not to contact each other and immovably provided is provided. Also,
In the pallet of the present invention, preferably, the holder has a contact surface corresponding to the outer shape of the load and has a tightening means capable of holding the load between the contact surface and the contact surface. As if you were Further, in the pallet of the present invention, preferably, the tightening means is composed of a flexible belt having a contact plane with the load and a fastener.

EXAMPLE An example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the present embodiment, FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a main part of the present embodiment, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing a state in which a load is loaded on a pallet of the present embodiment. This embodiment is shown as a pallet for loading four steel drums having an outer diameter of about 570 mm, a height of about 890 mm, and an inner volume of 200 liters. In FIG. 1, two through-holes 2 for cargo handling into which a fork of a forklift can be inserted are formed in the bottom of a pallet mounting table 1, and a holder 3 is fixed in the center of the mounting surface. It is set up. The holder 3 may be made of a plastic material or the like integrally with the mounting table 1 or may be made removable. When it is made removable, it can be used as a conventional flat pallet, or can be used by replacing it with a holding tool for loading two drums, for example.

The holder 3 is provided with four arcuate surfaces 3a and four mounting portions 3b between the arcuate surfaces, and each mounting portion 3b has fasteners 4 and 5 and a belt 6 as tightening means. , 7
Is attached. Since the loaded object is a drum, the arcuate surface 3a is formed in an arc shape according to the outer shape thereof, and should be formed in an appropriate shape according to the sectional shape and size of the loaded object. The structure of the fasteners 4 and 5 is the same, and the structure of one fastener 4 is expanded and shown in FIG. As you can see from this figure, the fasteners 4, 5
Are two mounting plates 4a, 5 which are fixed vertically at a predetermined interval in each mounting portion 3b at the facing position.
a. The shafts 4c and 5c (5c not shown in the drawing) penetrating the long holes 4b and 5b of the mounting plates 4a and 5a are prevented from coming out upward by a retaining means (not shown). .

Cylindrical bodies 4d and 5d are rotatably attached to the shafts 4c and 5c, and screws formed on the upper ends of the shafts 4c and 5c are nuts 4e and 5e with knurls.
It is screwed to. Therefore, these fasteners 4, 5 can move the positions of the shafts 4c, 5c, that is, the cylinders 4d, 5d along the long holes 4b, 5b by loosening the nuts 4e, 5e. It can be fixed in place by tightening 5e.

One end of each of belts 6 and 7 is attached to the two attachment portions 3b which are 90 degrees out of phase with the two attachment portions 3b to which the fasteners 4 and 5 are attached. The belts 6 and 7 have a predetermined width so as to disperse and reduce the contact surface pressure with respect to the load, and have appropriate flexibility so as to fit the shape of the load. . Therefore, the substantially intermediate portions of the belts 6 and 7 are in contact with the cylindrical bodies 4d and 5d by their own tension as shown in FIG. Depending on the tension, the belts 6 and 7 may have intermediate portions attached to the cylinders 4d and 5d. In that case, the cylinders 4d and 5d may be attached to the shafts 4c and 5d.
It may be integrated with c.

Next, a case will be described in which four drums D are placed on the pallet with a holder having the above structure. First, loosen the nuts 4e and 5e, and
The d and 5d are moved to the outermost side of the long holes 4b and 5b. FIG. 1 shows this state. Next, the four drums D are sequentially inserted from above between the arcuate surfaces 3a and the belts 6 and 7, and placed on the mounting table 1. After that, when the respective cylinders 4d, 5d are moved toward the center of the mounting table 1,
The belts 6 and 7 are wound so as to be in close contact with each drum can D, and the drum can D is in close contact with the arc surface 3a. In this state, the nuts 4e and 5e are tightened to keep the drum can D secured by the belts 6 and 7. Reverse the procedure to release the binding.

FIG. 4 shows a modified example of the above-mentioned fastener 4. This figure shows a portion corresponding to FIG. 2 in a plan view, and the portions substantially similar to the configuration shown in FIG. 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals. Long hole 4b formed in mounting plate 4a
Is longer than that shown in FIG. 2, and the shaft 4f is inserted into the slot 4b in the same manner as the shaft 4c.
The shaft 4f is integrated with the shaft 4c by an intermediary plate 4g. A cylinder 4h is rotatably attached to the shaft 4f, and the belt 6 is passed between the cylinder 4h and the cylinder 4d. If the belt 6 is a little more flexible than in the case of FIG. 1 and the intermediate portion of the belt 6 is not attached to the cylindrical body 4d, such a configuration is also possible. Further, the structure of the fastener is not limited to this type, and the effective length of the belt may be adjusted like a safety belt or a waist belt in an automobile.

FIG. 5 shows an example in which four fasteners can be secured with one fastener 4 as in the above embodiment. In this example, one belt 8 is attached to the attachment portion 3b of the fastener 5 in FIG. 1, and the attachment portion 3b of the belts 6 and 7 in FIG. 1 only serves to prevent the drums from contacting each other. Is to have. As described above, the load in the present invention is not limited to the one having a circular cross section like the drum can, and the number of loads is not limited to four, but may be configured for two. It can be configured for three.

[0013]

As described above, according to the present invention, since the load is fixed to the pallet by the surface, the load can be deformed or damaged without any auxiliary material as in the conventional case, and the load can be relieved. Cargo handling work can be performed, and there is no possibility that the load is overturned or dropped from the pallet due to vibration during the cargo handling work or during transportation. Moreover, since a plurality of loads are independently secured to each other, deformation and surface damage due to contact between the loads are unlikely to occur.
