part range (1) with a support surface (2) and feet (3), wherein the feet (3) are each one substantially vertically from the support surface (2) projecting plate element are formed, characterized in that the feet (3) are formed profiled.

Description

The The present invention relates to a partial pallet having a support surface and feet, with the feet each by a substantially vertical from the support surface protruding plate element are formed.

A Pallet or sub-pallet is essentially a support surface formed, of which preferably in the corner areas each feet vertically protrude down to the bearing surface of a substrate to space. Thus it is possible with the forks of a Lift the truck under the support surface, the pallet raise and move.

On Pallets can contain any goods and objects be placed, transported and stored. Standardized Euro pallets have a floor area of 1200 mm × 800 mm. For transporting smaller items or quantities of goods are known partial pallets, which are usually have a quarter of the floor area of a euro pallet, namely 600 mm × 400 mm. Such pallets exist made of wood or plastic. In particular, pallets are loaded moved with a pallet truck or a forklift, with an outer Width of the tines of a lift truck or forklift fork often 560 mm, allowing the insertion of the forks below the contact surface of a partial pallet, especially when bulky running feet practically not more is possible because the sub-pallet itself only 600 mm wide or long.

From the DE 297 20 944 U1 Such a sub-range is known, which has feet in the form of plate-like elements. These plates are arranged on the underside additional horizontally oriented bearing surfaces. The disadvantage here is that several such partial pallets in the empty state can not be stacked on each other to save space, because a nesting is not possible.

Furthermore, the disclosure DE 91 07 837 U1 a rectangular flat pallet with rectangular, conical, hollow and upwardly open feet. Due to the relatively large extent of these feet, the introduction of a standardized fork of a lift truck between these feet is not possible.

The same applies to similar partial pallets in the EP 0 725 010 A1 as well as the DE 88 00 921 U1 are described.

Finally, out of the EP 0 523 737 B1 Another sub-range with feet in the form of open-topped hollow profiles known, in which case two of the feet are arranged offset in the longitudinal direction of the pallet inwardly to introduce a fork below the sub-pallet on this outside. Thus, this sub-range has an asymmetrical structure, which leads to an increased risk of tipping. In addition, there is the disadvantage that these pallets for transportation with a pallet truck identical aligned behind the other ste hen, so that a Hubwagengabel can be passed under several successive sub-pallets. If there is a non-identical orientation, the forklift bumps against the feet of the other, differently oriented pallet behind the first sub-pallet, so that it is then impossible to pick up a row of consecutive pallets.

For The present invention therefore has as its object a sub-range to provide the type mentioned, which has a simple structure, stable and resilient, with standardized pallet trucks, Forklift or the like is safe to handle and the in empty state is space-saving stackable.

The Solution of the problem succeeds in accordance with the invention a sub-palette in that the feet profiled are formed.

With The invention provides a partial pallet that is symmetrical is and moved with usual pallet trucks or forklifts can be. In particular, such a trained sub-range is symmetrical on the fork of the lift truck or forklift, allowing a tilting is effectively avoided. Due to the symmetrical design needs not arranged on a special alignment of one behind the other Pallets to be picked up together by a fork lift truck to be respected, because the fork is always introduced throughout can be. The handling of the invention Partial pallet is thus much easier and more flexible overall. The side feet are on the support surface preferably integrally formed and are each by a plate-like element formed, this element in itself structured or profiled is formed. Through this additional Profiling is the lateral stability as well as strength the feet against a level or flat design significantly increased. It is understood that only a shaping or profiling with a selected such width or thickness of the base This is after inserting the fork of a lift truck as is possible before. The advantage of the invention exists in that by profiling the risk of kinking or Damage to the laterally arranged feet is substantially reduced, wherein for the preparation of such a trained Pallet virtually no additional effort is necessary.

in the Within the scope of the invention, the profiles can be selected by a person skilled in the art be carried out in any desired manner, preferably however, as described below.

In a first preferred embodiment, the profiling is in shape formed by mutually corresponding webs and grooves, each preferably preferably extending in the vertical direction are arranged. In this case, for example, equidistant to a stand a plurality of webs and grooves are formed to the stability of the base over its entire width and / or Increase length. For the following Stacking several partial pallets are on the feet further recesses and protrusions formed with the grooves and ridges of a pedestal of a stacked on it Partial pallet correspond. The dimensioning of the profiling Can be made by a specialist depending on the pallet material as well as the loads to be carried.

Farther It is suggested that the sub-range with equal sub-pallets interlocking forms stackable out, the feet or their profiles are formed such that a groove on a stand for receiving a projecting web, formed on a base of another sub-range is, serves. Thus, several empty partial pallets can save space stacked on top of each other. It is understood that in the production appropriate tolerances are met to several sub-pallets on the one hand, if possible with little play without lateral Tilting and on the other hand without mutual jamming each other to be able to stack.

To the precise stacking of several partial pallets is one above the other preferably at each base one substantially in horizontally projecting shoulder or stacking projection formed, wherein in the stacked state, a foot surface of the stacked base of another Partial pallet on this shoulder comes to rest. Are at the subpalette four feet provided so is with these four Feet also moving a stacked on top Partial pallet effective relative to the underlying shock avoided.

to Simplification of the stacking process is in a further embodiment a surface, in particular one to the middle of the sub-range facing inside of the base, slightly inclined to the vertical, in such a way conical upward tapered receiving space for the sub-range underneath, on which this sub-pallet is piled up to form. With a such inclined execution becomes at the same time also a Guidance or alignment of the top part of the pallet obtained.

to simple production of such a sub-range, this is appropriate from a suitable plastic material with the corresponding material thicknesses and strengths depending on made the weights to be transported. Such a plastic part can in a simple manner in an injection molding process, preferably in one piece.

to further increase the carrying capacity and stability and for ease of stackability may be on the support surface one or more upwardly open additional feet be formed, in particular with a central upward pointing Cone, wherein the foot with the cone also formed in such a way is that several empty sub-pallets stacked on top of each other can be.

It It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that not just a subset with the dimensions of 600 mm × 400 mm with such trained Feet can be equipped, but that also partial pallets of other dimensions as well as a Euro pallet with standard dimensions so can be executed.

One Embodiment of the invention will be described below a drawing explained in more detail. The figures of the Show drawing:

1 two stacked partial pallets in perspective plan view,

2 a detailed bottom view of the two stacked sub-pallets with profiled, cut feet and shown

3 the two stacked sub-pallets in a partial vertical section.

In the figures and in the following description of the figures are the parts shown with the reference numerals 1 to 12 in each case by the appended letter "a" the part in question as to a stacked upper part of the pallet and by the attached letter "b" the part in question as belonging to a stacked lower part of the pallet is marked.

The 1 the drawing shows a perspective view of two empty stacked sub-pallets 1a and 1b , which are each formed as a one-piece plastic injection molded part. Each partial pallet 1a . 1b has a support surface 2 on which any goods or goods are stored and with the sub-pallet 1 can be transported. To the support surface 2 , here at the two narrow sides, are each down-facing feet 3 molded, so the sub-pallet 1 has a substantially symmetrical structure.

The feet 3 are each formed by a plate-shaped profiled element. The profiles are essentially in the vertical direction and parallel to each other and over the entire length and width of the base 3 designed to increase their stability over their entire area. Thus, a kinking of the feet 3 with loaded part pallet 1 or damage to the feet 3 when inserting a fork, for example, a lift truck, as shown by the two arrows E in 1 indicated, effectively avoid. It is understood that the width or depth of the profiles of the feet 3 only so large is selected that with a partial pallet of dimensions 600 mm × 400 mm still pushing a fork with a typical outer width of 560 mm of a standard lift truck is possible.

To increase the stability and carrying capacity can be one or more additional feet 4 in the form of a substantially rectangular, conical recess with a central, upwardly facing cone 6 , which may also be rectangular, may be provided. This is foot 4 and cone 5 each formed such that several empty part pallets 1 can be stacked on each other essentially free of play and accurately interlocking. Every other foot 4 the sub-palette 1 is arranged so that it is the introduction of a Hubwagengabel under the sub-pallet 1 not disabled.

Of the 2 is a detailed view of feet 3 Removable in cross-section, the feet 3 are each formed by a plate-shaped element, which is formed profiled, here in the form of grooves 6 and jetties 7 , Here are the grooves 6 and footbridges 7 designed such that in the stacked state of several sub-pallets 1a . 1b the grooves 6 and footbridges 7 on pedestal 3a the one part palette 1a with corresponding recesses 8th and protrusions 9 on the stand 3b the other subset 1b fit together perfectly, on the one hand, the partial pallets 1a . 1b to be able to stack and on the other hand slipping of the partial pallets 1a . 1b relative to each other in the stacked state to avoid.

The grooves 6 and footbridges 7 as it is both the 1 as well as the 2 can be removed, substantially in the vertical direction and are aligned parallel to each other and substantially over the entire length and width of the base 3 designed to increase its stability over its entire surface. Thus, a kinking even under heavy load or damage to the feet 3 when inserting a fork of a lift truck effectively prevented.

Of the 3 is finally a partial vertical section of two stacked sub-pallets 1 removable. At the base 3b a lower part palette 1b is a substantially horizontally oriented shoulder 10b trained on a foot surface 11a a stand 3a a second, upper part palette 1a comes to rest in a stacked state. At the base 3a the upper part palette 3a is identical to a shoulder 10a intended. Shoulders 10 ensure that the partial pallets in the stacked state do not jam against each other, so always an unobstructed removal of a sub-range 1 is ensured at the top of a partial pallet stack.

Furthermore, the 3 removable, that an inner surface or inside 12 of the stand 3 is slightly inclined to the vertical, to such a tapered receiving space through the four inclined inner sides 12 of four feet 3 on a partial pallet 1 to build. Thus, the laying and stacking of other empty partial pallets 1 facilitated. The degree of the mentioned inclination against the vertical depends on the height of the sub-range 1 and the desired degree of Nestbarkeit stacked sub-pallets 1 and can be suitably determined by those skilled in the art on the basis of these criteria.
