ENT OIF FI PALLET porationk of Sweden Application ,July 8, 1948Serial N0.,37`,548
InSweden July, 1947 Claims:V l..V
The present invention relates to a so-called pallet orload cradle of wood, particularly intended to loe-used for storage and-transport of goods by so-called fork trucks. Such pallets consist of 'an upperloadtable and a lower support table, both made-of"boards -and `distance blocks cr bars arrangedsbetween'saidtables and attached to the boards 'by'means of nails, As the -total thickness of ith'eassembledfwood parts is relatively'great, there-may arise-diiiiculties inY nailing them togetherypartly because'theclinched ends of the nails will `easily project and can then cause damagegtoithegoods. and-partly because very long nails -mustbe-usediffthey'are to be clinched from the outside: lf,V on-the other hand, shorter, not penetrating nails are used and driven in from either side; the-bond will notrbe absolutely reliable; asin-this vcase it isnot possible to clinch the Halls:
It-is-an-objectof the present invention to obviateV-thesedrawbacks by making thesaid distanceblocksorbars into at least two portions, one'of which-being attached to at least one of theboards-'ofthe load table by means of nails clinched at vvthe lower side of the block so as to forman angular-or-LY-shaped section, while the otherblock or bar-portion is attached to a-n opposite board-of thefsupport-table by means of nails clinched at-the uppersidefof the-block so as to from'outside: By keeping the clinched nail endsv pressedja-gainst adjacent wooden block parts the strength.A offthefjoint-isfstill more increased;y It
shouldbe` noted that-in such pallets'for storage and-transport of goods by means of fork trucks it is'veryimportant to'retain-the nail securely sov that the-heads andclinched ends ofthe nails will not-gpro-trudefromthe surface of the loadtable, asthe goods mightotherwise easily be damaged.
Oneembodiment-'of VaY pallet'according to the invention is--illustratedby way of example in the accompanying'drawing, in which Figure 1 illustrates; a4 plan view'of the pallet,
Figure 2 is a plan view of a detail alongline` II-II of Figure 3,
Figure -3"is-an; end view'with certain parts ,sep
aratediv while section-onla-largerscaleand 21 Figure-6` isa cross section of part of Figure-l along line in Figure 1.
Accordingl to the embodiment -shownthe lpallet fcomprisesanumber ofie; g, three) crossbars I, on topv of which-are placedfboards 2 suitably spacedfromeach other. At the lower-face-of the bars I there'arevprovided,distance blocks 3-A or Vsupporting-bars,V for instanceat every second board, so that the parts I, 2, 3 right opposite each block 3 form a-'1like structure;v The parts I, 2 and 3 arel-joined together by nails 1, driven'into the boards-2 from-their upper facesv and extending through theboards'and the bars I as well as, through theblocks 3 and` clinched*` at` the lower surface Jas shown-in Figures 3 and 4;'
The lower `face' of the pallet comprises 'boards 5 similar` to Atheiboa-rdsfZu andnailed to' supporti ing blocks'lby-means ,offnails 8f soasto forma more-or less |.shaped'structure as willbeV seen by Figures; 3" and,5. The blocks 4' have substantially the same heightas the blocks 3'and have p referablyalso the same width and length as the latter.- Their width corresponds, forginstance, to half the width of the boards 2'or 5; The nails 8 are driven in from underneath the boards- 5 and extend through theseboards and throughthe blocks 3 and areclinchedfrom the top (Figures 3 and 5) After the 'l-shaped parts I 2;3 and the L]- shapedparts 4, 5, respectively, have beennailed together in said manner, they. are brought Atof gether, so that the side faces of the blocks 4 willrengage thesidefacesof theblocks 3,` an i the upper face of the/board5`will contact the lower face ofthe blocks 3, Ihaving the clinched ends ofthe nails Lwhile the clinchedends ofA the nails 8 will engage the lower face ofthe bars I. The whole unitisnw nailed together by transversal' nails; 9`which extend transversely through thiegblocks, 3 j and 4 as shOyVn inY Figure` 6; It is clearly seen vthat Y the clinchedf ends,A of the nails 'I' andl willthenbe totally coveredbythe joints between the parts; 5 and I 4 respectively.
Smallnails 6' may, if fdesiredL be `placed between the parts IvandZj.'H The clinched endsofjthese nails are; alsofcovered by the-abovefmentioned joints.
Inall nail joints glue maybe applied if desired,
The finished palletwill'consist ofgan upperload table formed Vby the Aboards 2; ,and "a lower support tablev comprising. thel boards, 5,Y These tables are securely fixed together andconstitute a rigid pallet withoutanygprojectinglnail ends; Theforl;
of the'n fork truck s'introducedfn the spaces.; l, betweenn the boardsi;
The arrangement'may'also` bel simplifiedV` by nailing the boards directly onto the blocks 3, but this imparts the drawback that the nails cannot be clinched from outside.
We claim:
1. In a pallet having opposite spaced surface portions, a joint connecting said surface portions, said joint comprising, in combination, a pair of blocks located between and each having their opposite ends respectively abutting against said surface portions of said pallet, each of said blocks have a side surface abutting against a side surface of the other block; a first nail extending through one of said surface portions and one of said blocks and having an end clinched over and located between said one of said blocks and the other of said surface portions; a second nail extending through the other of said surface portions and the other of said blocks and having an end clinched over and located between said other block and said one surface portion, said second nail being substantially parallel to said rst nail; and a third nail extending almost through said pair of blocks and being substantially perpendicular to said first and second nails, whereby said third nail is subject only to transverse shearing forces when said surface portions tend to pull apart from each other.
