UNITED STATES HERMAN EUGENE ESCH, O1? GHERRYVALE, KANSAS.
PALLET.
Application filed October 1, 1923. Serial No. 665,974.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, HERMAN E. Esorr, a citizen of United States, residing at Cherryvale, in the county of Montgomery and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pallets; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.
This invention relates to an improved pallet which is especially, but not necessarily, designed for supporting and transporting roofing tile while drying.
In producing the invention, it has been one of my principal aims to generally improve upon inventions of this class by providing one of extreme simplicity and durability which is constructed of light-weight moisture-proof and rust-proof material to facilitate drying of the tile.
Having ascertained that the usual forms of pallet employed for this purpose do not permit rapid drying of the portions of the tile in contact with the pallet, I have conceived of the use of novel means and have embodied it in the device so that it will permit air to contact the bottom of the tile to effect rapid drying.
In the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification and in which like numerals are employed to designate like parts throughout the same:
Figure 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the invention showing the type of pallet used with a particular design of roofing tile.
Figure 2 is an end elevation of Fig. 1.
Figure 3 is a cross section thereof.
Figure 4: is a perspective view of a different embodiment of the invention used with a specific type of tile.
Figure 5 is a transverse section of the device shown in Fig. 4.
Before proceeding with the detailed description of this invention, it is desirable to again disclose the fact that the invention is particularly adapted for use in connection with roofing tile and since the latter vary a great deal in design and contour, it will be necessary to construct various types of pallets to accommodate the different designs of tiles. All of these types cannot be embodied in the present application and l ha imp y Sh -W em od m nt of the invention which are most frequently used in the trade. So far as the novelty of the invention is concerned, the pallets may be of various sizes and shapes so long as they do not depart from the scope of the joint claims.
Directing attention first to Fig. 1, it will be seen that the pallet there shown comprises a plurality of longitudinally disposed bars 1, 2 and 3 which may or may not have smooth upper faces. The first two named bars are of substantially the same width and disposed on the samehorizontal plane and the last named is considerably wider and is disposed on an incline.
The aforesaid longitudinal bars are spaced transversely from each other and are connected by a pair of transverse end-pieces 4 and an intermediate cross-piece 5. It is to be noted that the ends of the parts a and 5 beneath the longitudinal bar 3 are increased in height and shaped so as to support the bar 3 on the incline or angle shown. Between the bars 1 and 2, the parts 4 and 5 are also increased in height and are connected with an additional comparatively narrow longitudinally disposed bar 6. As before stated, this particular shape or design of pallet corresponds to the contour of a specific type of tile used. Although it is not essential, the pallet described is formed from a single casting wherein the several bars and parts are reinforced by suitable ribs or the like, the material used being preferably aluminum to render the device comparatively light in weight and toprevent corroding from contact with the moistened tile. Itis of course understood that the device is not to be limited to the particular kind of material stated and that any other suitable rust-proof material may be employed, If corrosive metals are employed in making the device, they will readily rust from the moisture and will fail to shed the latter and will consequently prolong the drying of the tile. With my invention'this objection is entirely eliminated.
It has been found that the portions of the tile which rest directly on the pallet do not dry readily. Hence, I have conceived, as aforestated, the idea of aerating the bottom of the tileto facilitate drying. In carrying out this end, the upper side of the bars 1, 2 and 3 are provided with a plurality of comparatively shallow grooves 7 and although it is not essential, these grooves pref,
erably intersect one another as shown to form a plurality of diamond shaped projections 8 on which the tile rests. The grooves form air channels and by aerating the lower surface of the tile in this manner, rapid drying of the tile is assured.
Directing attention now to Figs. 4 and 5 which show another embodiment of the invention, it Will be seen that the device hereshown comprises aplurality of longitudinal bars 9 which are spaced transversely and connected together by the integral doWnturned ends or transverse bars 10. Although it is not essential the upper side of this pallet is provided with intersecting grooves 11 forming. diamond-shaped projections 12. These, grooves and projections also serve the same purpose described. The form of the invention just described is also preferably in the form of an aluminum casting. 'Although it is not shown, the casting may be formed with a multiplicity of small holes at spaced points to provide further aeration and to reduce the weight and lessen the cost of manufacture.
. From the foregoing description it will be evident that I haveevolved and produced a unique pallet specially adapted for supporting and transporting roofing tile. By constructing the same of transversely spaced longitudinally disposed bars, the spaces between the bars serve to permit circulation of air and contact With the bottom surface a of the tile and the provision of the intersecting grooves in the upper face of the pallet insures effective aeration and consequent rapid dryingQ I I claim:
1. A pallet comprising a rust-proof metallic casting comprising longitudinal transversely spaced hars connected together at adjacent ends by transverse end-pieces, said bars having grooves in their upper faces forming air channels to facilitate drying of the tile.
2. A pallet of the class described comprising a body including longitudinally disposed transversely spaced bars having a multiplicity of grooves formed in their upper sides, said grooves intersecting one another to form a plurality of comparatively short spaced projections for a tile to rest on.
In testimony whereof I have hereunto af fixed my signature.
HERMAN EUGENE ESCH.
