以下、 本発明を図面を参照して説明する。  Hereinafter, the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
第 1図ないし第 3図は、 本発明の第 1の実施の形態に係.  1 to 3 relate to a first embodiment of the present invention.
ルフォークポケット付きパレットを示すもので、 このパレット 1は、 方 形板状に形成されたパレット本体 2と、 このパレット本体 2に着脱可能 に取付けられた 2個のフォークポケット部材 3とを備えており、 これら 両フォークポケット部材 3により、 パレット本体 2の下面に、 筒状をな すフォークボケット 4が二箇所に形成されるようになっている。 This pallet 1 includes a pallet body 2 formed in a rectangular plate shape, and two fork pocket members 3 detachably attached to the pallet body 2. The two fork pocket members 3 form two cylindrical fork bockets 4 on the lower surface of the pallet body 2.
前記パレット本体 2は、 第 4図おょぴ第 5図に示すように、 プラス チック, 木材, 金属あるいは段ボール箱等の紙材等、 一定の剛性を有す る素材を用いて方形板状に形成されており、 その下面の各フォークボケ ット部材 3に対応する部位には、 後に詳述するフォークポケット部材 3 を完全に落とし込むことができる深さの凹溝 5が設けられ、 またパレッ ト本体 2端縁下面の各フォークポケッ ト部材 3に対応する部位には、 外 方に向かって上り勾配の斜面 6が形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the pallet body 2 is formed in a rectangular plate shape using a material having a certain rigidity, such as plastic, wood, metal, or paper material such as a cardboard box. The fork pocket member 3 which will be described later will A groove 5 is provided at a depth that allows the pallet body to be completely dropped, and a part of the lower surface of the pallet body 2 corresponding to each of the fork pocket members 3 is provided with a slope 6 having an upward slope. Is formed.
前記斜面 6は、 図示しないフォークリフトのフォークを、 フォークポ ケット部材 3內に揷入し易くするためのものであるが、 その角度 Θが大 きく直角に近い場合には、 フォークの挿入が困難となる。 このため、 斜 面 6の角度 Θは、 フォークの挿入性のみを考慮すると、 小さい方が好ま しい。  The slope 6 is for facilitating the insertion of the fork of the forklift (not shown) into the fork pocket member 3, but when the angle 大 is large and close to a right angle, it becomes difficult to insert the fork. . For this reason, it is preferable that the angle の of the slope 6 is small in consideration of only the fork insertability.
ところが、 斜面 6の角度 Θが小さ過ぎると、 パレット本体 2の端縁が 鋭利に尖った状態となって危険であるとともに、 パレット本体 2の端縁 が損傷し易くなつて好ましくない。 このため、 前記角度 Θは、 1 5〜7 0度程度とすることが好ましい。  However, if the angle の of the slope 6 is too small, the edge of the pallet body 2 is sharply pointed, which is dangerous, and the edge of the pallet body 2 is easily damaged, which is not preferable. For this reason, it is preferable that the angle Θ is about 15 to 70 degrees.
一方、 前記フォークポケット部材 3は、 第 2図および第 6図に示すよ うに、 例えば合成樹脂製のフィルムやクロス等の軟質素材を用い、 パレ ット本体 2とほぼ同一長さの筒状に形成されており、 このフォークボケ ット部材 3は、 着脱機構 7を介してパレツ ト本体 2に着脱可能に取付け られている。  On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 6, the fork pocket member 3 is made of a soft material such as a synthetic resin film or cloth, and is formed into a cylindrical shape having substantially the same length as the pallet body 2. The fork-bottle member 3 is detachably attached to the pallet body 2 via an attaching / detaching mechanism 7.
前記着脱機構 7は、 第 1図, 第 2図および第 6図に示すように、 パレ ット本体 2の上面側に卷付けられる帯状の短取付け紐体 8および長取付 け紐体 9を備えており、 これら両取付け紐体 8 , 9の端部には、 面状フ ァスナ 8 a , 9 aがそれぞれ設けられている。 そして、 前記両取付け紐 体 8 , 9は、 パレッ ト本体 2の上面側に卷付けた後に前記両面状ファス ナ 8 a, 9 aを係合させることにより、 一体の紐体となってフォークポ ケット部材 3をパレツト本体 2に固定できるようになっている。  As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 6, the attaching / detaching mechanism 7 includes a strip-shaped short attachment string 8 and a long attachment string 9 wound around the upper surface of the pallet body 2. At the ends of these two attachment strings 8, 9, planar fasteners 8a, 9a are provided, respectively. The two attachment strings 8, 9 are wound on the upper surface of the pallet body 2 and then engaged with the double-sided fasteners 8 a, 9 a to form an integral string, forming a fork pocket. The member 3 can be fixed to the pallet body 2.
これら各取付け紐体 8 , 9の基端部は、 第 2図に示すように、 フォー クポケット部材 3両端の上半部分に連結されており、 これにより、 両取 付け紐体 8 , 9を用いて、 フォークポケット部材 3をパレッ ト本体 2に 固定した際に、 第 2図および第 3図に示すように、 フォークポケット部 材 3の開口端がラッパ状に開くようになつている。 As shown in FIG. 2, the base end of each of these attachment cords 8 and 9 is connected to the upper halves of both ends of the fork pocket member 3 so that When the fork pocket member 3 is fixed to the pallet body 2 using the tying cords 8 and 9, the opening end of the fork pocket member 3 opens in a trumpet shape as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. It is like that.
また、 前記両取付け紐体 8 , 9の上面には、 ゴム引き等の難滑処理が 施されており、 これにより、 両取付け紐体 8 , 9がパレット本体 2上に 載置される貨物の滑り止め材を兼ねるようになつている。 なお、 前記以 外の難滑処理としては、 例えば P E等の熱可塑性樹脂を、 両取付け紐体 8 , 9の上面にコーティングしたりラミネ一トする方法等が考えられ る。  In addition, the upper surfaces of the two attachment strings 8 and 9 are subjected to a slipping treatment such as rubberization, so that the two attachment strings 8 and 9 are attached to the cargo placed on the pallet body 2. It also serves as a non-slip material. As other slipperiness treatment, for example, a method of coating or laminating a thermoplastic resin such as PE on the upper surfaces of both of the attachment cords 8 and 9 can be considered.
次に、 本実施の形態の作用について説明する。  Next, the operation of the present embodiment will be described.
保管時等の不使用状態においては、 パレツト本体 2とフォークポケッ ト部材 3とを分離し、 パレツト本体 2とフォークポケット部材 3とを各 別に保管する。 これにより、 狭いスペースでも効率よく保管することが できる。 また、 パレッ ト本体 2とフォークポケット部材 3とを分離可能 な構造とすることで、 フォークポケット部材 3は、 必要最少限の数だけ 用意しておけばよいことになり、 コストダウンを図ることができる。 すなわち、 パレット本体 2は、 使用目的に応じてその素材を変更しな ければならない場合がある。 例えば、 輸出用貨物の場合に、 木製のパレ ット本体 2を用いると、 仕向国によっては木材の燻蒸処理を要求される ことがあるので好ましくなく、 また雨水等で濡れることが予想される場 合に、 紙製のパレッ ト本体 2を用いることは好ましくない。 このため、 このような場合には、 プラスチック製や金属製のパレツト本体 2を用い なければならないが、 このような制約がない場合には、 軽量な木製や紙 製のパレット本体 2を用いた方が有利である。  When not in use, such as during storage, the pallet body 2 and the fork pocket member 3 are separated, and the pallet body 2 and the fork pocket member 3 are stored separately. This enables efficient storage even in narrow spaces. In addition, since the pallet body 2 and the fork pocket member 3 are configured to be separable, the fork pocket members 3 need to be provided in a minimum number, thereby reducing costs. it can. That is, the material of the pallet body 2 may need to be changed depending on the purpose of use. For example, in the case of cargo for export, the use of wooden pallets 2 is not preferred because the fumigation of wood may be required depending on the destination country. In this case, it is not preferable to use the pallet body 2 made of paper. For this reason, in such a case, the plastic or metal pallet body 2 must be used, but if there is no such restriction, the light wooden or paper pallet body 2 should be used. Is advantageous.
このように、 パレッ ト本体 2は、 使用目的に応じてその素材を変更す る必要があり、 したがってパレッ ト本体 2は、 すべての素材のものを用 意しておく必要があるが、 フォークポケット部材 3は、 使用する数だけ 用意しておけば足りる。 As described above, the material of the pallet body 2 needs to be changed according to the purpose of use. Therefore, the pallet body 2 is made of all materials. It is necessary to keep in mind that it is sufficient to prepare as many fork pocket members 3 as the number to be used.
一方、 パレット 1の使用に際しては、 使用目的に対応する素材のパレ ット本体 2を用意するとともに、 各パレツト本体 2に対して 2本のフォ ークポケット部材 3を用意する。 そして、 パレット本体 2下面の各凹溝 5内に、 各フォークポケット部材 3を落とし込むとともに、 各取付け紐 体 8, 9を、 パレット本体 2の上面側に卷付け、 面状ファスナ 8 a, 9 aを介して両取付け紐体 8, 9を連結する。 これにより、 各フォークポ ケット部材 3が、 パレット本体 2に固定され、 パレット 1が完成する。 ところで、 各フォークポケット部材 3は、 パレット本体 2の凹溝 5内 に完全に落とし込まれているので、 ノ レツト本体 2上に载置される貨物 が重量物である場合であっても、 その荷重はパレツ ト本体 2の下面で支 持され、 フォークポケッ ト部材 3に負荷されることがない。 このため、 フォークリフトのフォークを、 極めてスムースにフォークポケッ ト部材 3内に挿入することができる。  On the other hand, when using the pallet 1, a pallet body 2 of a material corresponding to the purpose of use is prepared, and two fork pocket members 3 are prepared for each pallet body 2. Then, each fork pocket member 3 is dropped into each concave groove 5 on the lower surface of the pallet body 2, and each of the attachment cords 8, 9 is wound around the upper surface side of the pallet body 2, and the planar fasteners 8a, 9a The two attachment strings 8 and 9 are connected via. Thereby, each fork pocket member 3 is fixed to the pallet main body 2, and the pallet 1 is completed. By the way, since each fork pocket member 3 is completely dropped into the concave groove 5 of the pallet body 2, even if the cargo placed on the knoll body 2 is heavy, The load is supported by the lower surface of the pallet body 2 and is not applied to the fork pocket member 3. Therefore, the fork of the forklift can be inserted into the fork pocket member 3 extremely smoothly.
また、 各フォークポケット部材 3端部の上半部分は、 斜面 6にそって 上方に引上げられているので、 各フォークポケット部材 3の開口端は、 第 2図および第 3図に示すように、 ラツバ状に開いた状態となってい る。 このため、 フォークリフトのフォークを、 簡単にフォークポケッ ト 部材 3内に挿入することができる。  Also, since the upper half of the end of each fork pocket member 3 is pulled upward along the slope 6, the open end of each fork pocket member 3 is, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, It is in the shape of a crack. For this reason, the fork of the forklift can be easily inserted into the fork pocket member 3.
