Description

The invention relates to a pallet, the deck of which has depressions or gaps, with a plate placed thereon, which is provided with projections, depressions or holes on the side facing away from the pallet to prevent slipping of preferably plastic transport boxes, their arrangement and size is dimensioned such that they rest on the bottom of the transport boxes or on projections or depressions located on the bottom of the transport boxes or on the side walls of the transport boxes as well as a stack consisting of the pallet, the plate and the transport boxes.

Such a pallet has become known in the form of a box pallet from US Pat. No. 3,799,382 in order to fix easily slipping transport goods, for example boxes made of plastic, for the transport. The plate for fixing the load is fixed in US-A-3 799 382 in that it has a flange on all sides as an edge which engages between boards of the side walls. This definition of the plate placed on the deck of the pallet through the side walls is disadvantageous, because it is necessary to use a box pallet instead of a pallet. A box pallet is but much more unwieldy when loading and unloading and also when transporting empty, so that box pallets are only used in transport technology if the load makes it absolutely necessary.

The plate securing the load against slipping is made from a thermoformed film in this known box pallet. Thermoformed films are thin and weak, which makes it necessary to provide a separate plate for each layer of the load in the stack, which with its edge flange engages between two side wall boards of the box pallet and stands on the layer of the load underneath. This in turn means that other side wall boards must also be used in the box pallet for loads of other external dimensions. However, this means that not every box pallet can be used for any load, but that a special plate and a special box pallet must be kept ready for each load. Universal use is not possible.

In general, cargo that is already protected by packaging in transport boxes is transported on pallets without side walls. Transport in plastic boxes is becoming more and more common because plastic boxes can be used again and again and therefore their use prevents the generation of packaging waste.

It is the object of the present invention, a To create a plate with projections, recesses or holes for fixing the transport boxes on the deck of a pallet, that is a means of transport without side walls.

The invention consists in that the plate is fastened to the deck of the pallet by means of fastening means which are attached to the plate and engage in the depressions or gaps in the deck of the pallet.

As a result, the plate is attached to the deck of the pallet in a very simple manner with very little effort, so that the plastic boxes to be transported and other transport goods can no longer be placed in box pallets, but on simple pallets, such as those made of wood, everywhere in the transport industry Are in circulation, can be used. This enables the pallet to be used universally for a wide variety of load sizes. This simplifies the loading and unloading of the pallets, reduces the manufacturing effort compared to the prior art and simplifies the entire transport.

By inserting this single plate with projections between the pallet and the stack of transport boxes and fixing them on the pallet, the projections or recesses, which cooperate with the lowest position of the stack of transport boxes, achieve that the whole stack of transport boxes absolutely slip resistant is on the pallet.

This plate can not only be used as a stacking aid to prevent slipping, it can also serve as a lid for the stack of transport boxes if another similarly shaped plate with downward-facing edge projections on the stack of transport boxes set up on the pallet serves as a common cover for all transport boxes the top stack layer is placed.

This special cover, however, forms a safeguard against slipping of the further pallet placed on one stack with another stack of transport boxes, if several stacks are to be placed one above the other. A large number of stacks, the weight of which utilize the performance of a forklift truck, can be arranged so that they do not slip out of place if another pallet with another stack of transport boxes is placed on the plate serving as the lid.

This plate can be made from plastic with considerably less effort than is possible with pallets. The requirements for stability are also considerably lower than for plastic pallets.

This plate can be made in several different forms:
One embodiment uses screws, nails, dowels, pins with heads or the like for fastening to the pallet.

Other embodiments are characterized in that the surface of the plate facing the pallet has projections as fastening means, which are arranged at a distance from two or more recesses or gaps in the deck of the pallet. The dimensions of these protrusions are smaller than the dimensions of the depressions or gaps in the deck of the pallet.

Another embodiment is characterized in that the surface of the plate facing the pallet has projections of different heights, the higher of which are arranged as fastening means at a distance from two or more depressions or gaps in the pallet deck, the dimensions of which are smaller than the depressions or gaps in are the pallet deck, while the lower projections are dimensioned in such a way that they form depressions on the side facing away from the pallet from the shape and dimensions of the floor or from floor projections of the transport boxes.

It may be expedient if this plate on the side facing away from the pallet has projections at its edge, which preferably form a circumferential rim which encompasses the entire bottoms of the lower layer of the stack of transport boxes. This edge does not have to be high, it is sufficient if it is 10 to 50 mm high.

It is expedient if the cross-sectional dimensions of the projections of the plate facing the pallet are V-shaped or trapezoidal. This has the advantage in the production of this plate serving as a stacking aid made of plastic that it is easy to demold and when using this plate serving as a stacking aid has the advantage that the plate easily slips into the gaps or recesses of the pallet and the serving as a stacking aid Plate in the correct position, on the other hand also to ensure that the transport boxes are easily inserted into their exact position.

It can be advantageous if the projections on the side facing away from the pallet take the form of angles, squares, rectangles or an F-; Have a T or H shape. This gives the projections and the plate a high stability, at the same time they can be adapted to the different base designs of the plastic transport boxes. The projections of the shape of the "F" are preferably arranged in the corner regions and the projections of the shape of a "T" between them, in particular adjacent to the longer plate edge.

Further possible embodiments are that the ribs of the plate which engage in the depressions or gaps in the deck of the pallet are not deeper than the deck of the pallet, and that the plate on the pallet has securing means against displacement in the longitudinal direction of the ribs, wherein the fuses are fasteners, preferably screws, nails, pins, headed dowels, clips, clamps or the like or recesses or projections on the ribs, which are preferably arranged directly next to the spars, the plate preferably none in the region of the central spar Has projections on the side facing away from the pallet, and wherein the plate preferably has recesses for pushing through the fastening means.

The plate serving as a stacking aid centers itself on the pallet if the projections have the shape of a truncated cone or pyramid and taper in the direction away from the plate. This design also makes it easier to store empty panels in a small area.

If the plate serving as a stacking aid has the length and width dimension of the pallet, this makes the plate serving as a stacking aid somewhat unwieldy and leads to a relatively large amount of space being used for the empty stacking. In order to make the plate serving as a stacking aid more manageable and less space-consuming and still achieve the full holding effect of this plate for the transport boxes stacked on a pallet, it is expedient if the plate serving as a stacking aid is smaller in length and / or width dimensions than that corresponding dimensions of the pallet and if the boxes placed on the plate serving as a stacking aid in the edge region of the pallet have only a part of their floor area on the Plate, with another part standing on the pallet.

A stack according to the invention is characterized by the features of claim 8, the preamble corresponding to the prior art according to US Pat. No. 3,799,382.

It can be advantageous here that the projections of the plate which engage in the depressions or gaps in the surface of the pallet are not deeper than the wings of the pallet, and that the plate on the pallet has securing means because of a displacement in the longitudinal direction of the projections. This shallow depth of the protrusions of the plate engaging in the pallet deck ensures that the stacking forks no longer come into damaging contact with these ribs, but safeguards are provided which prevent the protrusions of the plate from slipping in the depressions or gaps in the pallet deck can.

High stacks are particularly strong when another uniformly shaped plate is placed down on the stack of transport boxes placed on the pallet directed edge projections is placed as a common cover of all transport boxes of the uppermost stacking layer, a further pallet with a further stack of transport boxes preferably being placed on the plate serving as the cover.

It is also advantageous if the plate serving as a stacking aid is smaller in its length and / or width dimensions than the corresponding dimensions of the pallet, and if the boxes placed on the plate serving as a stacking aid are only partially open in the edge region of the pallet of the plate, with another part on the pallet, preferably the projections of the plate serving as a stacking aid which engage in the recesses or gaps of the deck of the pallet are at a distance from one another which corresponds to the width of the central spar of the pallet.

It is useful if the recesses are arranged directly next to the spars, because here the stacking fork does not reach under the wing of the pallet.

It is also expedient if the plate in the region of the central strut has no projections on the side facing away from the pallet. In this way it is possible to stack pallets on top of each other that have only one supporting surface resting on spars.

The plate 2 serving as a stacking aid is placed on the pallet 1, on which the transport boxes 3 are placed. The pallet 1 consists of an upper and a lower layer of boards nailed at a distance from one another to square timbers 4, of which the upper layer forms the deck 5. The transport boxes 3 have on their underside projections 6 which are designed as web or rib formations in order to give boxes stacked crosswise the necessary hold in the stack. These projections 6 each dip into the transport box stacked underneath.

The stacking aid 2 consists of a flat plate 7 which has downward projections 8 which reach through through the gaps between the boards of the deck 5 of the pallet 1 when the stacking aid 2 is placed on the pallet 1. The stacking aid has further projections 9 which engage in spaces between the projections 6 on the bottom of the transport boxes 3 when the transport boxes 3 are placed on the plate 7 of the stacking aid 2. In addition, the stacking aid 2 can have a peripheral edge 10.

In the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 3, the projections 9 protrude upward; they are located on the side of the plate 7 facing away from the pallet 1.

In the embodiment of FIG. 4, the projections 9 are directed downward, they are attached to the side of the plate 7 which faces the pallet 1. The projections 9 are not as deep as the projections 8. Between the projections 9, depressions 11 are formed, in which feet of differently shaped transport boxes 3 are located.

In the embodiment of FIG. 5, the plate 7 of the stacking aid 2 has recesses 13 which have the shape of holes into which the projections 6 on the bottom of the Reach in transport boxes 3. Here are the transport boxes 3 with their base projections 6 directly on the boards 5 of the pallet 1 and are held against slipping by the edges of the recesses 13 of the plate 7 of the stacking aid 2.

The ribs 8 engaging in the gap between the boards 5 have inclined walls, they are designed in a V-shape in cross section. They taper in the direction away from the plate 7. As a result, they exert a centering effect when the stacking aid 2 is placed on the pallet 1.

If the ribs 8 do not have a greater depth than the thickness of the boards 5, they secure the stacking aid 2 against slipping only in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the boards 5. In order to prevent the stacking aid 2 from slipping in the longitudinal direction of the gap between the boards 5 secure, are formed from the ribs 8 projections 16, 17, which, as shown in Fig. 8 and 9, put laterally on the spars 4 and thus slipping of the stacking aid 2 perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the spars, ie in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the Prevent gaps between boards 5. The distance A between the mutually facing side edges of the projections 16 is just as wide or slightly wider than the central spar 4. The protrusions 17 rest with their outer edge on the outside spars 4. The distance B between the projections 16 and 17 is chosen to be as large as possible. This will underneath the as the support surface serving boards 5 created a zone in which the boards 5 can be gripped by the lifting fork of a forklift truck, without the ribs 8 being touched by the prongs of this lifting fork.

10 to 12, the stacking aid 2 is smaller than the pallet 1. Here, only the projections 16 serve to secure the stacking aid 2 against slipping transversely to the bars 4. Nevertheless, projections 17 are also provided here. If, as shown in FIG. 15, the stacking aid 2 is used on pallets which have the outer dimensions of the stacking aid and therefore have narrower bars 4, the projections 17 on the outside serve to secure the stacking aid 2 against slipping transversely to the bars 4, because the outer projections 17 lie against the edges of the outer bars 4.

In the middle, the stacking aid 2 has on its surface facing away from the pallet 1 a free space in the form of a strip 14 which is not occupied by projections 9 and which serves for pallets of the shape shown in FIGS. 14, 15 and 16 without one to ensure the lower plank position, when stacking pallets 1 provided with stacking aids 2 in an empty manner, to secure a firm stand of the stack and to prevent the pallet from tipping over.

FIG. 14 shows a side view of a stack of pallets 1, in which the pallets 1 have significantly larger dimensions than the stacking aid 2. In 15 shows a stack in which the pallets 1 have the same surface dimension as the stacking aids 2. 16 and 17 show another embodiment of the stacking aid 2, in which the ribs 8 are longer and the projections 16 and 17 on each rib 8 are further apart. This embodiment of the stacking aid 2 can also be placed on the pallets of FIG. 14, but is supported with its projections 17 against the outer bars 4.

So that the stacking aids can be firmly connected to the pallets, it is expedient to provide holes in the stacking aid through which screws 15 are screwed, which engage in the boards 5 and / or spars 4 and firmly connect the stacking aid 2 to the pallet 1.
Such screws, but also other fastening means such as nails, clamps, clamps, dowels, pins with a head or the like can also completely replace the ribs 8 and / or the projections 16, 17.

In the embodiments of FIGS. 18-27, plates are used as stacking aids which are smaller in their surface dimensions than the surface dimensions of the pallet, or which can be used on pallets of different surface dimensions, namely large surfaces in which the plate of the stacking aid is only a part of the pallet area and small-area pallets, in which the plate area almost or completely covers the pallet area.

The length and width dimensions of the stacking aid plate 2 are selected such that at least one foot-like projection 6 lying in the corner is held by the projections 9 of the transport boxes 3 stacked at the corners. If only a single foot of a transport box set up at the corner of the pallet 1 is held by the projections 9, the entire stack stands securely because transport boxes placed at the corners of the pallet are in close contact with neighboring transport boxes and so the transport boxes are supported with one another while they are prevented from slipping by the projections 9.

The distance A between two projections 8 engaging in the depressions or gaps of the surface of the pallet 1 is selected such that the central spar 4 of the pallet 1 of the plate 2 gives a non-slip hold on the pallet 1.

22 shows a realized embodiment of a plate serving as a stacking aid. In addition to the projections 8 engaging in the column 1 of the pallet, the projections 9A have the shape of an "F" in the corners, adjacent to them, the longer edge of the plate 2, 7 projections 9B have the shape of a "T". Between these and in extension of the legs of the "F" and "T" -shaped projections 9A and 9B are line-shaped projections 9C. These few projections are sufficient to give all the boxes 3 placed on the plate 2.7 serving as a stacking aid a secure stand, even if not the whole plate is filled with boxes 3. These few projections 9 are arranged in such a way that the boxes can be attached to one another in different stacking ways.

25 shows another plate 7 serving as a stacking aid, which also has projections 8 which extend between the recesses of the pallet 1 and projections 9D, 9E and 9F which serve to secure the position of the boxes 3. This plate 7 has the projections in such a form that the feet 6 arranged at the corners of the boxes 3 are held by them. In the exemplary embodiment in FIG. 9, the plate 7 is placed on a large pallet on which 24 boxes 3 are stacked. The feet 6A facing the stack interior of the boxes 3A placed on the corner are held by the projections 9D.

If the plate 7 of FIG. 25 is placed on a small pallet on which, as shown in FIG. 10, only 15 boxes 3 can be placed, the corner feet 6A of the boxes 3A at the corners are held by the projections 9E.

The possibility of using this plate serving as a stacking aid of FIG. 25, which serves to fix the transport boxes 3 on a plate 1, which engages in gaps or recesses of the pallet 1 with molded projections, which have projections 9D, 9E, 9F recesses and / or openings are provided, which rest on feet 6, floor projections or side walls of the set up transport boxes 3 and in their length and / or width dimensions are smaller than the corresponding dimensions of the pallet 1, on pallets 1 of different length and / or width dimensions, is a particular advantage of the present invention.

The projections 8 engaging in the gaps between the boards 5 of the deck of the pallet have inclined walls 10, so they taper in the direction away from the plate. This makes it easier to stack plates as empties. The projections 9 can also be made in the shape of a truncated pyramid, that is to say with inclined side walls.

The projections on the side facing away from the pallet of the plate serving as a stacking aid or the recesses or depressions can be arranged such that their edges lie on the outside of the bottom of the transport boxes or on floor projections or on the side walls of the boxes stacked in the bottom stacking layer, depending on the Execution and arrangement of the boxes. If the projections of the stacking aid lie on the outside of the side walls of the transport boxes, the boxes can also be stacked upside down for empty transport and storage in the state rotated by 180 °, so that it does not rain into the boxes when stored outdoors The projections on the surface of the stacking aid are expediently arranged so that different box sizes and types can be stacked in a different arrangement.
