Description
SLIP PALLET WITH A CUSHIONING EFFECT
Field of the Invention
This invention relates generally to pallets for use in supporting loads during shipment or storage of materials and more specifically to a slip pallet with a cushioning effect for a load supported thereon, such as an array of cardboard boxes holding beverage
containers.
Background of the Invention
Plastic slip pallets, such as those described in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,776,145; 3,850,116 and 4,042,127, have been used for ease of storage and handling of a load of boxes supported thereon in a warehouse, a manufacturing facility and during shipment by rail or by truck. A plastic slip pallet has a lip means adapted to be gripped by a lift truck and held in tension while slipping a platen, or spatula-like member, of the lift truck under the plastic slip pallet. The platen then lifts the plastic slip pallet and the boxes supported thereon and transports them to a desired location where the slip pallet and the boxes are pushed off the platen. A recent development in plastic slip pallets is disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 4,507,348 to Nagata et al. The slip pallet in Nagata et al. comprises a support member comprising an
interlining core sandwiched between and secured to two liners and has a flap portion continuous to the support member through a bending portion in which the
interlining core and the two liners are compressed together and fused into one continuous layer to provide a hinge effect. While the corrugated slip pallet of Nagata et al. does provide a cushioning effect, it is expensive to manufacture. Brief Description of the Invention
This invention provides a slip pallet with a cushioning effect comprising a sheet of single ply plastic material having a plurality of spaced apart dimples formed therein to provide a cushioning effect while retaining its load supporting properties.
In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the slip pallet is formed from a single ply of plastic material, such as polypropylene or high density
polyethylene, having a thickness of between about 0.040 and 0.125 inch and a stiffness measurement in the range of 120,000 to 180,000 psi as determined by ASTM
specification D 790B. The slip pallet has opposite pairs of generally parallel edges to define a central body portion for supporting a load, such as an array of cardboard boxes holding filled beverage containers. The central body portion originally has a generally planar top surface and a generally planar bottom surface. A plurality of spaced apart dimples are formed downwardly from the top surface so as to form a plurality of spaced apart projections extending
downwardly from the bottom surface. The dimples are generally spherical segments having an outer radius of between about 0.1875 and 0.563 inch and a depth from the bottom surface to the crest of the dimple of between about 0.094 and 0.281 inch so that the
projections formed thereby have outer surfaces which are segments of a sphere. The projections have a density of between about 0.75 to 2.00 per square inch and a surface area of between about 60 to 95 per cent of the entire surface area of the top surface. At least one integral lip portion extends outwardly and upwardly from one of the edges. Suitable materials for forming the plastic slip pallet are set forth in U.S. Patent 3,776,145 from Column 8, Line 43, to Column 9, Line 15. The preferred embodiment of this invention uses a copolymer of polypropylene marketed by Hercules Powder Co. of Wilmington, Delaware, under the trade designation pro-foxR 8623.

Figs. 6 and 7 are illustrations for use with the formula set forth in the specification.
Detailed Description of the Invention
The preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the drawing and comprises a slip pallet 2 formed from a single ply of plastic material such as polypropylene or a high density polyethylene or other materials having similar characteristics. The plastic material has a thickness between about 0.040 and 0.125 inch and a stiffness measurement in the range of
120,000 to 180,000 psi and preferably about 160,000 psi as determined by ASTM specification D 790B. The slip pallet 2 has opposite pairs of generally parallel edges 4 and 6 to define a central body portion 8 originally having a generally planar top surface 10 and a
generally planar bottom surface 12. Integral lip portions 14 are formed in a conventional manner and extend outwardly and upwardly from the generally parallel edges 4 and one of the generally parallel edges 6. If desired, the slip pallet 2 may have diagonally cut corners 16 preventing edges 4 and 6 from intersecting.
A plurality of dimples 20 are formed in the top surface 10 so that a plurality of projections 22 extend downwardly from the bottom surface 12. The dimples 20 have an inner surface 24 that is a segment of a sphere and the projections 22 have an outer surface 26 which is a segment of a sphere. The radius of the outer surface 26 is between about 0.1875 and 0.563 inch and the projections 22 have a depth, measured from the bottom surface 12 to the crest of the projection 22, of between about 0.094 and 0.281 inch.. The centers for the spheres of the outer surfaces 26 are located above the top surface 10 a distance equal to one-half of the radius minus the thickness between the planar portions of the top and bottom surfaces. In accordance with this invention, the depth of each projection 22 from the bottom surface 12 will be about one-half the radius
of the outer surface 26. The dimples 20 have centers which are spaced apart a distance of between about 0.75 and 1.50 inches and have a density of between about 0.75 and 2.00 per square inch and a surface area of between about 65 and 90 per cent of the top surface 10. As illustrated in Fig. 1, the dimples 20 preferably extend in spaced apart parallel rows which rows are parallel to the opposite parallel edges 4 and
perpendicular to the opposite parallel edges 6. There are no dimples 20 in the lip portions 14 integral with the opposite edge portions 4, but there are dimples in the lip portion 14 integral with the one edge 6.
In Fig. 3, there is illustrated one dimple 20 of a central body portion 8 wherein the thickness of the plastic sheet between dimples 20 is about 0.051 inch. The outer surface 26 of each of the dimples 20 has a radius of about 0.250 inch and are on spaced apart centers of about 1.00 inch. The center for the radius is located about 0.074 inch above the top surface 10. Each projection 22 has a depth of about 0.125 inch from the bottom surface 12 to the crest of the projection 22. In Fig. 4, there is illustrated the same dimple 20 when a load of about 6,000 pounds per square foot is being supported by the central body portion 8. The depth of the projection 22 has been decreased by about 0.042 inch so that the dimple 20 still has a depth of about 0.083 inch and is fully capable of supporting greater loads. A slip pallet 2 having the dimples 20 as described above is capable of supporting loads up to about 10,000 pounds per square foot and still providing a cushioning effect.
In some instances, the use of a slip pallet 2 as illustrated in Figs. 1 - 4 present some problems in that there is a tendency for the slip pallet 2 to slide when being supported on a platen as illustrated in U.S.
Patent No. 3,776,145. In Fig. 5, there is illustrated a slip pallet 30 where a portion 32 of the outer surface 24 is relatively planar so that the portion 34 of the inner surface 26 is also relatively planar so as to provide a greater surface area for contact with the surface of the platen so as to provide greater
frictional forces to prevent the sliding of the slip pallet 30 on the platen. The arcuate outer surface 36 is a frustum of a sphere having a radius of between about 0.185 and 0.563 inch and wherein the center of the sphere is located a distance above the top surface 10 equal to one-half the radius minus the thickness between the planar portions of the top and bottom surfaces. The portion 32 has a depth of between about 0.061 and 0.248 inch and the planar surface 32 has a diameter of between about 0.1875 and 0.563 inch. In a preferred embodiment of the dimple of Fig. 5, the surface 32 has a diameter of about 0.25 inch and a depth of 0.092 inch. The arcuate outer surface 36 has a radius of about 0.25 wherein the center 38 of the sphere is located 0.074 inch above the bottom surface 12.
When the slip pallets of this invention are used in the shipment by truck or rail of filled beverage containers packed in boxes, the weight on each slip pallet is between about 2,100 and 2,600 pounds per square foot. In normal practice, one slip pallet is loaded on top of another slip pallet so that the load on the bottom slip pallet is between about 4,200 and 5,200 pounds per square foot. During shipment, the truck or rail car may periodically place additional loads on the slip pallets. During such additional loads, the projections will be depressed in an amount relative to the additional load, but after the
additional load has been removed, the projections will
resile to their configuration prior to the additional load.
The above-described preferred embodiment is based on a load on the bottom slip pallet of between about 4,200 and 5,200 pounds per square foot. The specific construction of the slip pallet with dimples for any desired load may be calculated i
n the following manner.
The conventional formula for the deflection of a sphere, illustrated in Fig. 6, wherein the dimple has been inverted for explanation purposes only, is:
deflection y = APR2
16πD
where D = Et3
12(1-⋎)
R = outer radius of the dimple where ⋎= poissons ratio
A - is from the following table
*
E = Young's modulus of elasticity
t = final thickness
where final thickness t = initial thickness (F) x T
where
F = flat sheet thickness

d = distance R is spaced from centerline of F l = diameter of the bottom portion s of the segment of the sphere
c = circumference of the bottom portion s of the
segment of the sphere
for a semi-sphere d = 0 and D = 2R
The conventional formula for P which the load
distribution, illustrated in Fig. 7, is:
P = load lbs/ft2 = load (C2 ) = lbs./dimple (12"/C) (12"/C) 144
where C is space between centers of the dimple.
