The The present invention relates to a pallet protection sleeve and Mouthguard for Pallets, in particular standard pallets, such as europallets, the two substantially parallel end faces and two substantially parallel ones long sides exhibit.

pallets serve for receiving and transporting goods of various kinds and were used for better handling by means of transport, such as lorries, Forklift, etc. standardized throughout Europe and are, for example, under known as "Europallets", these pallets usually three rows of three spacer blocks each. Under each row the distance blocks There is a rail that connects the blocks of a row with each other combines. The connecting rails or boards are along the long side arranged the pallets. The three rows of three blocks each are then connected to each other on its upper side with three cross rails. Above this connecting rail are parallel to the long side the pallet further support rails arranged, for example, five support rails, between which there is a certain distance. These support rails, mostly likewise, like all other elements of the pallet formed from wood, serve to hold the goods to be transported. Due to the Alignment can be, for example, the fork of a forklift truck retract one of the faces and the pallet and its load up or down.

In Today it is more important than ever, the economic Expenses as low as possible hold. A damage the pallet and / or goods, can lead to high economic costs. The damage the pallet or goods often by forklift trucks that enter the pallet too high or too low caused. Furthermore, you can damage done by manual loading or unloading the pallet and the goods. By Too tight loading or storage, as well as by friction or Frassschäden (e.g. through mice) arise frequently damage at the goods.

In lately, not least due to price pressure, Development also intensified to transport goods arranged such a pallet directly into the sales rooms and there to the buyers leave. This is the good impression that often elaborately designed Make product packaging, partly damaged by pallets or damaged goods (through transport and / or shopping trolleys) on the pallets. at Such pallets are undamaged and clean in manufacture since they do in principle can serve for reuse she over the time heavily pollute or be damaged accordingly. In addition, will often in addition the Goods on the pallets damaged and / or dirty, so that there is a sight, not necessarily promote sales is. By the damage and / or contamination of the pallet and / or goods incur high economic costs.

Of the The present invention is therefore based on the object, a Fairing for to create such pallets, effective with the pallets and goods fast and reliable be clad and protected can (Pallet guard sleeve).

These The object is solved by the features of claim 1.

According to the invention can Pallet protection collars of different materials (e.g. Metal) and can depending on the version from one or more surface formed parts surrounding the pallets and the goods (e.g. in the lower area). In addition, the pallet protection sleeve be supplemented by a bottom plate (preferably made of plastic or metal) (for example as feeding protection). The underside of the pallet base is analogous to the known ones Transport pallets designed so that grooves or cavities or Recesses for the intervention of forks of forklifts on all sides available are. The quadrangular pallets preferably have such a base area, to easily install the innovation. Pass the pallet protection cuffs from two or more parts, can the parts are put together by an interlocking system or connected. After completion of the transport or storage or Sale of goods in the salesrooms can the Parts of the pallet protection sleeve preferably disassembled and be put together so that they save space until the next use can be stored. The material thickness for the Pallet protection sleeves as well as for the floor panels are like that Measured that they are the mechanical stresses at professional Handling, transport, storage and possibly sales without damage resists.

By the pallet protection sleeve is advantageously achieved that the pallets and goods from damage protected are and if necessary also as disguise for the sales in the sales area can be used. It can handle, transport, store and offer the goods be made more economical and safer in the showroom.

there can retain all the advantages of previous storage on pallets and be extended, in particular the fast and easy and protected transport from the means of transport delivering the products to the place of sale in the sales building without the goods to repack or change or relocate and additionally one high economic benefits through the protection of goods and the Pallets.

By the areal Design of the pallet protection sleeve this is also particularly advantageous Way for Advertising purposes printable and can thus be arranged on the above Products / goods especially to point out or as additional Decoration to be used. There is also the possibility a corresponding color design, so that these too color design example, an immediate indication on the goods / goods or on the dealer can give.

advantageously, is the solvable Connection system of the pallet protection sleeve, if it consists of at least consists of two parts, preferably a plug-in or pressure system preferably made of plastic, whereby a simple and effective holding device is provided. This will also achieved advantageously that the pallet protection sleeve according to the invention simple and fast way to the pallet and to the goods and can be applied and released again if the pallet guard no longer needed (for example, after delivery, storage, sale). Alternatively, you can the pallet protection cuff also by e.g. Tapes, straps, etc. are reinforced.

The Pallet protection sleeve is available in different versions. In a simple embodiment have the connectors at least one detachable System such as hooks and on the opposite side an eyelet (preferably made of metal). In other embodiments There are preferably several solvable Connecting systems.

to Adaptation to the respective pallet and the goods lying on it, is the holding device for the pallet protection sleeve advantageously detachable and can also advantageously by several solvable systems- in different intervals just about the pallet and goods be attached.

Thereby, that the novel cuff solvable is achieved that they are used multiple times and versatile can be.

advantageously, several holding devices are provided, resulting in a robust and flexible connection of the pallet protection sleeve with the pallet and the goods. This will be a good adaptation of the protective sleeve to various Pallets and goods allows the corresponding holding devices or closure systems in a simple manner, as stated above, can be attached.

advantageously, is the protective sleeve made of plastic, this can be a special light embodiment the pallet protection sleeve can be achieved.

advantageously, The pallet protection sleeve can be easily manufactured become. In particular, the possibility can advantageously also be created to form the protective sleeve in one piece.

Farther the pallet protection sleeve is advantageously on its front side can be printed or can be retrofitted If necessary, be designed by, for example, slides or other materials attached to the pallet protection sleeve can be (for example by a clamping rail). This can be used for promotional purposes (e.g. can affect the goods / goods or on the dealer (by appropriate choice of company colors, etc.) or as a decoration be used.
