Definitions

  • the present disclosure relates to an optionally nestable or
  • a stackable pallet container which has side walls widening towards the container opening, which are designed in such a way that, in a relative orientation of two identical, empty pallet containers, the pallet containers can be nested to reduce the transport volume during empty transport and in another relative orientation, lower sections of the side walls of one of the two pallet containers can be supported on upper sections of the side walls of the other pallet container and thus a
  • the problem with the pallet container according to DE 20 2013 100 968 U1 is that the differently shaped projections differ optically only imperceptibly, which is why it is difficult to see the orientation of the pallet container in adverse lighting conditions and / or for people with limited visual performance. For example, a pallet container can accidentally be nested in an identical pallet container even though stacking is actually intended. If the lower pallet container is partially filled with contents, the contents can be damaged.
  • a pallet container which has a, in particular rectangular, bottom, and side walls which form a bottom from the bottom
  • the container also has a pallet-shaped base part which extends below the base and is adapted for engagement by a fork of a forklift truck or other industrial truck.
  • the side walls extend conically and / or in steps widening from the floor upwards to a peripheral container edge.
  • runners From the floor extend downwards, in particular two runners that run parallel to one another at least in sections.
  • the runners each have at least two engagement openings, which enable an fork of a forklift truck or other industrial truck to engage.
  • the bottom and the side walls are shaped so that the
  • Pallet container is nestable in an identically orientated identical pallet container and can be stacked on an identical identical pallet container rotated by 180 ° relative to the pallet container only with respect to a vertical axis of the pallet container or a vertical axis of the identical pallet container.
  • the vertical axis of the pallet container extends in particular perpendicular to the floor. In particular, the vertical axis extends through a center of the floor.
  • the pallet container is characterized by the fact that the outer contour of the runners follows the outer contour of the side walls.
  • the outer contour of the runners can follow the outer contour of the side walls flush at least in sections.
  • the outer contour of the runners can follow the outer contour of the side walls insofar as these outer contours have a geometrically similar shape, at least in sections. That means or it is also possible that a shoulder is formed between the runners and the side walls.
  • an outer contour is in particular the silhouette of a surface facing outwards with respect to the vertical axis of the pallet container or the outline of a surface facing away from the vertical axis of the pallet container in a surface facing the floor
  • the fact that the outer contour of the runners follows the outer contour of the side walls” means in particular that the shape of the outer contour of at least a large part of the runners corresponds to the shape of the outer contour of at least a large part of the side wall adjacent to the runners or is geometrically similar.
  • “Flush” means in particular that the shape of the outer contour of the runners in an area immediately adjacent to the side walls corresponds to the shape of the outer contour of the side walls in an area immediately adjacent to the runners.
  • the side walls have side wall recesses or indentations which are offset with respect to an adjacent, substantially parallel, section of the corresponding side wall in the direction of a container inner region, that is to say inwards, the container inner region in this
  • the relationship is the area that extends within the side walls above the floor.
  • the side walls face Sidewall recesses or indentations and not offset inwards
  • Pallet containers in the manner of a rotary stacking container can be stacked on a structurally identical pallet container in a relative orientation (first relative orientation) and nestable in a structurally identical pallet container in another relative orientation (second relative orientation).
  • the pallet container can be brought from the first relative orientation, in which the pallet container and the identical pallet container are oriented in opposite directions, by rotating through 180 ° about its vertical axis into the second relative orientation, in which the pallet container and the identical pallet container are oriented identically.
  • first relative orientation sections of the side walls that are not offset inward are located above corresponding side wall recesses or indentations of the same design
  • Sidewall recesses are each at least largely channel-shaped.
  • the skid recess of one of the skids and the corresponding side wall recess merge.
  • the skid recess of one of the skids and the corresponding sidewall recess together form a trough-shaped structure.
  • Orientation can be easily felt by moving one of the runners with one hand along an outer surface.
  • the inner contour of the runners can follow the outer contour of the runners. I.e. in places where the outer contour of the runners jumps inwards, the inner contour of the runners jumps inwards and vice versa. Accordingly, both the outer contour and the inner contour of the runners can be S-shaped or have an S-shaped gate. As a result, the width of the runners can be kept essentially the same.
  • the two runners each have an outer edge with at least one s-shaped section.
  • each of the outer edges of the runners according to the invention has two rectilinear sections offset parallel to one another and a curved transition section connecting the sections offset parallel to one another.

  • the orientation of the pallet container can be scanned from two sides in a similar and thus easier than usual manner.
  • Outer edges of the runners can also extend undersides of the runners facing away from the floor.
  • the lower outer edges of the pallet container are sectionally S-shaped.
  • Such an arrangement of the S-shaped sections on an underside of the pallet container makes it possible to scan the pallet container even when the pallet container is raised by an industrial truck.
  • the outer edges of the runners can each have two end sections extending in a common (imaginary) straight line.
  • the end sections of the respective runner can each be in the area of a corner of the floor
  • Such an arrangement of the end sections of the outer edge of the respective runner makes it possible to ensure a defined tilting in a plane extending perpendicular to the outer edge.
  • Recessing recesses can be provided on the circumferential container edge, on which lower support areas of the runners of the identical pallet container are supported when a structurally identical pallet container is stacked on the pallet container and in which the lower support regions of the runners of the identical pallet container are stacked when an identical pallet container is stacked on the pallet container can immerse.

Abstract

La présente invention concerne un récipient à palettes (1) comprenant un fond (2), des parois latérales (4, 6, 8, 10), qui s'étendent du fond (2) vers le haut en direction d'un bord de récipient périphérique (12) en s'élargissant coniquement et/ou par paliers, et des patins (17, 19), qui permettent une mise en prise avec une fourche d'un chariot gerbeur ou d'un autre engin de manutention. Le fond (2) et les parois latérales (4, 6, 8, 10) sont conçus de façon à ce que le récipient à palettes (1) puisse être emboîté dans un récipient à palettes (1) de conception identique et orienté à l'identique, et à ce qu'il puisse être empilé sur un récipient à palettes de conception identique tourné de 180° par rapport au récipient à palettes (1) seulement relativement à un axe vertical. Le contour externe des patins est au même niveau que le contour externe des parois latérales (4, 6, 8, 10).
