2. Description of the Related Art As a simple pallet, for example, as shown in FIG.
A pallet 3 having a structure in which a plate-like plywood 2 is pasted thereon as a deck board is used. As shown in FIG. 13, for example, cardboard boxes 4 containing goods are stacked on the pallet 3, or a mechanical device or the like is placed thereon. It is fixed by a band 5 or the like. And
It is placed on a truck by a forklift or the like and transported to the destination.

[0003]

A pallet 3 of this type
Will be disposed of after the packaging has been unpacked. This is because the cost of transporting the pallet 3 is higher than the manufacturing cost of the pallet 3. However, the number of pallets 3 to be discarded is enormous. Moreover, the size of the square bar 1 used as the girder is from about 50 mm square to about 100 mm.
In order to manufacture this girder, a large amount of trees must be cut down, and furthermore, global warming due to the large amount of carbon dioxide emitted when incinerating discarded timber 1 There was a problem from the viewpoint of preventing the destruction of the natural environment.

[0004] Further, since the square bar 1 is used, the weight is heavy, the cost involved in transportation is high, and the worker is forced to work hard. Further, when a cardboard or the like is used as a deck board disposed on the square bar 1, for example, the weight of the square bar 1 may cause the deck board to be torn or peeled off from the joint. For this reason, a wooden plywood 2 or the like must be used in consideration of the balance in strength, and the above-described problems such as an increase in the weight of the pallet 3 have been caused.

[0005] To solve such a problem, for example, Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. Sho 60-47220 and Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-open No. Sho 60-157.

No. 2025, No. 63-144430, No. 03
A number of cardboard pallets, paper pallets, or foamed plastic pallets have been proposed and some of them have been proposed. However, such a pallet can load lightweight articles, but cannot load and transport articles exceeding several hundred kg or 1 ton. Furthermore, in order to prevent falling, it is preferable to wind an iron or resin band around the product and the pallet. However, when the band is wound around a pallet made of corrugated cardboard or the like, the band is broken and the band cannot be wound. there were.

Therefore, the inventor of the present invention has sufficient strength even if it is light in weight, and can place even an article having a weight of several hundred kg or more or several tons, and furthermore, has an iron band with sufficient tension. As a result of intensive studies to obtain a packing member and a pallet that can be wound by a wrapping method and do not cause a problem such as deforestation, the present invention has been achieved.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a packing member and a pallet using the same according to the present invention.

As shown in FIG. 1, in a packing member 10 according to the present embodiment, a rigid member 14 having a predetermined height is disposed at both ends of a strip-shaped member 12, and the rigid member 14 is provided. Member having compression resistance and rigid member 1
An intervening member 16 having a specific gravity smaller than the specific gravity of No. 4 is provided, and has a rectangular shape as a whole.

Here, the strip plate member 12 is made of a plate material made of thinned wood or waste material from a South Sea material such as Lauan wood, a plywood obtained by laminating the plate materials, a resin plate made of acrylic resin, or a waste paper. It is preferably made of cardboard or corrugated cardboard, and the material is preferably selected according to the application, but a plate or plywood is particularly preferred in terms of price and strength. In addition, the thickness of the band-shaped member is about 2 to about 20 mm,
The width is about 30 to about 200 mm, and the length is about 400 to about 30
The thickness is preferably about 00 mm, but is not particularly limited.

The rigid member 14 is formed in a block shape such as a rectangular parallelepiped, so that even if a large compressive force is applied,
A material and size that are not easily deformed or broken are selected. The rigid member 14 is preferably made of wood, such as waste wood or thinned wood, or a mixture, resin, metal, or the like. Wood is particularly preferable in terms of price and strength. The size of the rigid member 14 is (about 30 to about 200 mm) × (about 30 to about 200 mm) × (about 20 to about 10 mm).
(About 0 mm).

Further, the interposition member 16 disposed at a position sandwiched between the rigid members 14 has compression resistance, and
4 is formed of a material smaller than the specific gravity. As shown in FIG. 2, when a load acts on the packing member 10, the interposition member 16 is supported at both ends by the rigid member 14,
Although the central portion is compressed and shrunk, it is preferable that the deformation amount is as small as possible, and it is necessary to have compression resistance. Further, since the interposition member 16 occupies the largest volume in the packing member 10, it is preferable that the specific gravity is smaller in order to reduce the weight of the packing member 10, and at least the specific gravity of the rigid member 14 is smaller. It must be formed of a small material.

Therefore, the interposition member 16 is made of a foamed resin structure such as styrene foam, particularly formed by a particle fusion molding method, a structure formed by melting paper such as waste paper, or a porous granular material such as rice husk. A structure formed by integrating hollow particulate matter such as a plastic balloon or the like with a binder, or a honeycomb structure formed by forming various materials into a honeycomb structure is used. In particular, as the interposition member 16, a foamed resin structure formed by a particle fusion molding method such as styrene foam is preferable, and the expansion ratio can be about 3 times to about 100 times. From about 20 times to about 5
About 0 times is preferable.

It is preferable that the strip-shaped member 12 and the rigid member 14 are firmly fastened with a nail, a bolt, or the like. Further, it is preferable that the band plate-shaped member 12 and the interposition member 16 or the rigid member 14 and the interposition member 16 are joined by an adhesive, an adhesive, a double-sided tape, or the like, but it is also possible to use a nail or the like. . Since the packing member 10 is basically disposable, a joining method is adopted that has the lowest manufacturing cost and does not come off the joint during transportation.

The packing member 10 according to the above configuration is arranged so that the band-shaped member 12 faces upward, an article is placed on the band-shaped member 12, and a metal or resin band is formed. And the like, and the packing member 10 and the article are integrally fixed. At this time, even if the metal band is strongly wound, the places where the greatest force acts on the packing member 10 are the corners and the vicinity thereof, but the rigid member 14 is disposed at the places. Are not destroyed. In addition, the rigid members 14 at both ends are pressed in a direction in which the rigid members 14 approach each other by the band that is strongly tightened. However, a compression-resistant intervening member 16 is disposed between the rigid members 14 at both ends. Therefore, it will not be crushed. Furthermore, the obtained packing member 10 is
When the interposition member 16 is formed of, for example, a foamed resin, the weight is reduced to about 1/5 to 1/40 as compared with the conventional product, so that the labor of the operator is reduced and the transportation cost is also reduced. Still further, only the rigid member 14 uses wood having a predetermined size, and the amount of wood used is greatly reduced.

When a plurality of packing members 10 are arranged side by side and an article is placed on them, it is preferable to form a pallet 18 as shown in FIG. That is, the pallet 18 has a plurality of packing members 10 arranged at appropriate intervals to form a girder material, and on one or both sides straddling the juxtaposed girder materials, one or a plurality of plate materials or a flat plate 20 serving as a deck board is provided. It is arranged and configured. By configuring the pallet 18, the space between the packing members 10 is stabilized, and the packing operation and the transporting operation are facilitated. The plate material or the flat plate 20 serving as a deck board may be made of wood, resin, or paper, and is variously selected depending on the application, required strength, and the like.

Although one embodiment of the packing member and the pallet according to the present invention has been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment.

For example, as shown in FIG. 4, it is also possible to provide a groove 24 along the longitudinal direction on the surface of the packing member 22, which is the bottom side of the packing member 22, facing the band-shaped member 12. is there. The groove 24 is formed through the rigid member 26 and the interposition member 28, and the rigid member 26 is cut by cutting or the like.
The intervening members 28 are each formed by integral molding or the like. By providing the groove 24 on the bottom surface side of the packing member 22, the band can be passed through the groove 24, so that not only the band can be easily hooked up, but also it is hard to come off due to vibration or the like, and the packing is stabilized.

As shown in FIG. 5, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the groove 24 is formed by disposing band members 30 on both sides along the longitudinal direction of the bottom surface of the packing member 10 shown in FIG. 24 can also be formed. It is preferable that the band member 30 is bonded with an adhesive or the like.
It is sufficient that the groove 24 is provided at least in the rigid member. In this case, the band of the interposed member comes out from the surface, but this does not pose any practical problem.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6, it is preferable to dispose an L-shaped reinforcing member 34 at a corner of the rigid member 32 in which the groove 24 is formed. As shown in FIG. 2B, the reinforcing member 34 is a metal fitting for preventing the corners of the rigid member 32 from being deformed or deformed with time when, for example, an iron band 36 is wound around and strongly tightened. It is. Therefore, a member made of steel or the like is preferable so that the reinforcing member 34 is not deformed. The reinforcing member 34 is formed of an adhesive or a pressure-sensitive adhesive or a nail or a screw.
At the corner including the groove 24.

Next, as shown in FIG. 7, another packing member 38 is disposed on the surface of the packing member 10 shown in FIG. Can also be configured. The strip-shaped members 1 are provided on both sides of the interposition member 16.
By arranging 2, 38, the strength is greatly improved, and it is possible to use any of the band-shaped members 12 or 38 up.

As shown in FIG. 8, another band plate-shaped member 38 is arranged on the surface of the packing member 22 shown in FIG. It is also possible to provide the packing member 42 by providing the same. With this configuration, in addition to the effect of greatly improving the strength, the groove 2
4 is covered with the band-shaped member 38 to form a slit-shaped hole. As a result, when the packing member 42 is placed on the uneven ground, the passage for passing the band through the slit-shaped hole (groove 32) is secured, and the workability is greatly improved. I do.

In the case of the above-described packing member having a relatively short length, if the rigid members are arranged at both ends, the strength is sufficient. However, if the rigid members are long, the rigid members at both ends are used as fulcrums. The central part will bend. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 9, when the length of the packing member 44 is long, it is preferable to dispose one or a plurality of rigid members 46 also at the center other than both ends. By appropriately disposing the rigid member 46,
The packing member 44 that can withstand a large load can be obtained.

It is also possible to arrange the rigid member in the center of the packing member in advance.
A rigid member may be provided. For example, as shown in FIG. 10, the leg 52 of the rigid member 50 having an inverted T-shaped cross section is inserted into and fixed to a substantially central portion of the long packing member 48. Due to the legs 52 of the rigid member 50, the bending of the packing member 48 is limited, and the packing member 48 can withstand a large load. In addition, such a rigid member 5
The shape, structure, and the like of 0 are not particularly limited.

Further, the packing member is not limited to a square or rectangular cross section, but may be trapezoidal in cross section as in a packing member 54 shown in FIG. 11, for example, and the shape is not particularly limited. The shape and structure of the packing member 54
It should be set according to the use and the like, and is not limited at all.

As mentioned above, the embodiments of the packing member according to the present invention have been described variously with reference to the drawings, but the packing member of the present invention is not limited to the illustrated example. For example, although the above-mentioned packing member was provided with a strip-shaped member,
The strip-shaped member is not necessarily required. That is, the packing member may be configured by at least one pair of rigid members and an interposition member interposed between the rigid members. Also in this packing member, a rigid member can be appropriately disposed at an intermediate position of the interposition member. Although the packing member according to this configuration can be used alone, it is more preferably used as a pallet beam. Since there is no strip-shaped member in this packing member,
Although the strength of the pallet alone may be insufficient, the use of a pallet with a deck board made of a plate material or a plywood attached to a packing member can provide a pallet with a stable strength.

The packing member of the present invention is used not only as a pallet or as a part of a pallet, but also as a stock when a product is to be stacked. It is also possible. The use is not limited, for example, it can be used as a kind of sleeper.

The present invention can be embodied in variously modified, modified, and modified forms based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0037]

According to the packing member of the present invention, since the rigid members having a predetermined height are disposed at least at both ends of the strip-shaped member, the load is mainly supported by the rigid members. Become. In addition, since the interposed member having compression resistance is disposed at a position sandwiched between the rigid members, the load is also supported by the interposed member, so that it is possible to support even a large load. . Further, since the interposition member is made of a material smaller than the specific gravity of the rigid member, the weight of the packaging member can be significantly reduced as a whole.

Even if the band for preventing the collapse of the load is strongly wound, the places where the greatest force acts on the packing member are the corners and the vicinity thereof. Is not destroyed. Further, the rigid members at both ends are pressed in the direction in which the rigid members approach each other by the band that is strongly tightened. However, since the compression-resistant intervening member is provided between the rigid members at both ends, the band is crushed. You will not be forced to do it.

Next, by providing a groove in the packing member, when the packing member and the goods or products placed thereon are fixed by the band, not only the workability is improved but also the vibration or the like causes The band can be prevented from coming off, and the transportation can be stabilized.

Further, even when wood is used as the rigid member for this packing member, deforestation can be suppressed because one large square lumber is not used. Further, even when a foamed resin or the like is used as the interposed member, the interposed member has a structure that can be easily separated from other members, and thus can be separated and recycled for each material of the member.

Further, by forming a pallet using the packing member according to the present invention, the weight is about 1/5 to 1/40 as compared with the conventional product, and the strength is almost the same as the conventional product. You can get a degree pallet.
