Definitions

  • the or each locating means is complementary in shape to features of articles to be placed on the deck.
  • FIG. 5 is an isometric view of a second pallet according to the invention, in a first configuration
  • FIGS. 21 a, b and c are enlarged perspective views corresponding with the views of FIGS. 20 a, b and c, illustrating pivot arrangements in more detail;
  • a first pallet 2 according to the invention is shown in FIGS. 1 to 4 .
  • the pallet 2 includes a substantially rectangular pallet 4 having a deck 6 that serves in use as a load bearing surface for supporting goods.
  • a peripheral wall 10 depends from the deck 6 , the wall 10 including two longitudinal side walls 12 and two end walls 14 . Reinforcing formations 16 are provided in the side and end walls to increase their rigidity.
  • a wheel or castor 17 is provided in each corner of the pallet, which in use supports the pallet and allows it to be moved about.
  • Four recesses 18 are provided in the corners of the surface for receiving in use the wheels of another roll pallet stacked on the first pallet.
  • the pallet 4 may be a plastics moulding.
  • the locating means 20 therefore serve to locate the crates 36 , 38 in position relative to the pallet 2 , preventing relative movement of the two.
  • FIGS. 10 and 11 illustrate a fourth embodiment of the invention, in which the pallet includes another version of the stop member.
  • the stop member 352 is pivotable and is mounted above a recess 356 in the end edge of the pallet 304 .
  • the pivot mount is located such that the pivot axis lies substantially in plane of the deck 306 , adjacent the end edge of the pallet, and the stop member 352 is mounted so as to be rotatable through an angle of approximately 20° from a first position shown in solid lines in FIG. 10, to the second position shown in broken lines.
  • the stop member 352 In the first position, the stop member 352 extends upwards above the upper surface 306 to locate and retain a crate placed on the pallet, and in the second position it is accommodated within the recess 356 and is located flush with or below the upper surface 306 of the pallet.
  • a spring 360 located within the recess 356 engages the stop member 352 and biasses it upwards to the first position. The stop member 352 may however be pushed downwards into the recess against the bias of the spring.
  • the pallet 610 c might alternatively be required for supporting soft containers, such as bags, or sacks 614 .
  • soft containers such as bags, or sacks 614 .
  • FIG. 26 b This use is illustrated in FIG. 26 b .
  • bags or sacks 614 are placed across substantially the whole area of the pallet 610 c , including the locations of the ribs 618 c .
  • the weight of the bags or sacks 614 and their contents will press the ribs 618 c down to their retracted positions so that they leave the deck 616 unobstructed, being in the positions illustrated in FIG. 26 a . Consequently, the bags or sacks 614 can safely be stacked on the pallet 610 c without danger of being ruptured by upstanding features of the pallet 610 c.
