"Transport pallet"

The invention relates to a single-use transport pallet with an upper, preferably made of corrugated cardboard, as well as at least four cylindrical feet, each of which consists of two interlocking ones There are pipes that form an annular gap in which tabs are clamped, which are hinged to the cover plate are.

Various cardboard transport pallets are known. There are, for example, pallets that consist of a single cardboard blank to be folded. Designs are also known in which the feet from separate blanks folded or rolled up and then by means of a snap fastener by gluing or else be connected to the cover plate by wire stitching. After all, pallets have already been made, their Cover plate made from cardboard, in particular from corrugated cardboard, and the feet thereof made from foamed plastic are. These parts are also connected by gluing.

These constructions have in common that they each have very specific external dimensions, namely length and width of the Have loading area.

This fact, which is the case with the so-called, made of wood or metal existing pool pallets is mandatory, occasionally hinders the use of one-way pallets, which are usually destroyed after a single use. Pallets of this type do not have alone the purpose of making stacked goods easy to transport, but also to create sales aids by placing the items to be sold, for example in self-service shops, on the pallets remain and are offered in this form. With regard to the space available in such shops and also because of the mostly quite different dimensions of the individual sales items Pallets of a single and very specific size are practically unusable for this purpose. Article that However, they must be delivered with pallets with loading areas corresponding to the so-called pool pallet are usually unloaded on the spot so that the goods are in accordance with the spatial conditions in the Business can be set up again.

The object of the present invention was therefore to create a Einweppalette that, depending on the individual Requirement can have different sized loading areas, but not particularly during manufacture forcing costly custom-made products. Finally supposed to the pallet have the greatest possible stability so that even relatively heavy stacks of articles can be transported with it can be.

The solution is a single use one Transport pallet with an upper cover plate made of flexible material, preferably corrugated cardboard and at least four cylindrical feet, the feet each consisting of two nested, preferably made of There are tubes made of cardboard, which form a Rin ^ gap, are clamped in the tabs, which are hinged to the cover plate, in the area of the periphery of each foot arranged concentrically and out of the plane of the cover plate, forming a circular hole, each bent by 90 °.

The transport pallet according to the invention is characterized in that an edge of selectable height along pre-cut grooves on the beveled at the corners or notched upper cover plate is foldable.

The inventive arrangement of prepunched grooves, the The upper cover plate, which is bevelled at the corners, enables the width and length of the loading area of the pallet to be adapted to the individual requirements of the individual case by simply folding it over. For this it is only necessary to fold over an edge to be selected accordingly.

This measure also achieves the advantage, which is of decisive importance in terms of manufacture, that only a few standard pallet sizes need to be manufactured for most practical applications. These pallets are then expediently each given in surface areas summarized dimensions.

Added to this is the further advantage that the edge formed by the folding over provides excellent protection for the stack of goods at the edges of the pallet.

It is useful that the bendable edge by means of this cut flap is lockable. This can be done, for example, by stapling or gluing.

To increase the resilience of the pallet, it is also useful in the area of the cover plate in which the Feet are mounted to attach an additional plate. This plate is preferably made of corrugated cardboard and is glued to the cover plate. The size of this additional plate would then correspond to the smallest usable area of the pallet and roughly corresponds to the external dimensions of the base plate of the pallet.

The pallet according to the invention is shown by way of example in the following figures.

Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of the pallet with two cover plates.

Fig. 2 shows a section through the pallet along the Line II - II in FIG. 1.

3, 4 and 5 show top views of various cover plate designs when not folded over

6 shows a side view of a pallet loaded with a stack of goods, the edge being folded over.

The pallet 1 (Fig. 1) consists of the two corrugated cardboard cover plates 2 and 3 and the feet 4. The feet 4 in turn consist of the outer tube 5 (Fig. 2) and the two inner pipe sections 6a, 6b. In the annular gap between the pipe 5 and the pipe sections 6a, 6b are the Cover plates 2, 3 hinged tabs 7 clamped. the

Tabs 7 are concentric in the area of the periphery of each foot 4 arranged and from the cover plates 2, 3, forming a circular hole, each blown out by 90 °.

On the circumference of the upper cover plate 2 (Fig. 3, 4 and 5) grooves 8 are pre-punched, along which an edge 9 can be selected Height can be folded over ". This is facilitated by the fact that the corners 10, 11 of the upper cover plate 2 beveled (Fig. 4) or notched (Fig. 3).

There can (Fig. 3, 4 and 5) different embodiments the cover plates 2 can be selected. Once the corners 10 can be cut out at right angles (Fig. 3). Farther can (Fig. 4) the corners 11 of the upper cover plate 2 be designed beveled. Recommended in both cases a locking of the edges 9 after folding over by applying adhesive strips.

Finally, a configuration of the corners 12 is also possible (FIG. 5) by locking tabs in the form of a Snap closure are provided. The locking takes place here by inserting the nose 13 into the Slit 14 after folding over the edge 9.

The execution forms according to FIGS. 3 and 4 leave the arrangement a number of parallel grooves 8 on each side of the upper cover plate 2, so that depending on the requirement the one available after the edge 9 has been folded over The loading area of the pallet can be chosen as desired. It goes without saying that the length and width of the lower Cover plate 3 may be at most as large as the corresponding smallest dimensions of the upper cover plate 2 after Fold over the edge 9.

The folded edges 15 (Fir; 6) offer protection of the stack of goods 16 against damage that occurs in particular due to the securing of the stack of goods when tying can.
