Description

Wooden pallet box for packaging.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates to a box of wood, of the type that are integrated in a pallet for facilitate its handling as the packaging element that It constitutes.

The object of the invention is to achieve a high degree of mechanical resistance against vertical compression, is say face to the stack, parallel to a great ease of assembly / disassembly, which minimizes occupancy volumetric of the same in inoperative situation, that is to say in empty storage and transport situation, and all with some very simple structural features that impact positively at the economic level.

Background of the invention

In the field of packaging are known boxes wood whose base materializes in a kind of pallet that allows the handling of the box with a forklift, a pallet truck or similar. Usually this type of boxes presents a solid structure in which the different elements members of them are fixed with each other with character immovable so that the volumetric occupancy of the box is exactly the same when it's full than when it's empty, what negatively affects the level of storage and transportation costs empty

Trying to ignore this problem are known detachable wooden boxes, in which the wooden panels are fix each other with the collaboration of metal fittings that allow its disassembly, but this solution is structurally complex and consequently expensive, and also requires useful special to carry out assembly operations and disassembly

Description of the invention

The wooden pallet box for packaging that the invention proposes, belonging to the second group of the aforementioned, that is, the one in which integral panels of the box are mountable / removable, resolves in a fully satisfactory way the problem previously exposed, constituting a structurally simple solution, functionally effective, with great ease of assembly / disassembly without the contest of tools and special tools and all this to Low cost

For this and more specifically, said box It is structured by a base-pallet of standard dimensions, intended at the time of use to be covered by a cardboard plate, to seal the classic pallet openings, base to which four side panels are fixed  materialized in two plywood boards, each of the which has marginal and vertical exterior reinforcements and with horizontal horizontal slats, specifically one at level lower end, through which the sides are fixed to the base-pallet by stapling, other intermediate and other upper, the latter tucked with respect to the upper edge of the plywood board, to allow the fitting of a lid also materialized in a plywood board.

The upper slats are out of date in height between the major and minor side walls of the box, of so that they overlap at their ends, where they incorporate holes that, properly faced, allow the fixing of cited side walls of the box, at the level of its mouth, by means of metal or plastic pins that are introduced manually in said holes.

Intermediate slats reinforce perimeter of the box at medium level in height, where its walls sides are also fixed by stapling.

It is planned that both one of its walls major laterals as one of the minor are fragmented into two overlapping portions of which the superior materializes in a flip top, with lower hinges materialized in bands of rubber and that remains stable in closing situation by the upper pins, said unit being practicable doors so that the lid of the box always rests on three of its edges, or rather on two opposite edges, which confers due stability.

According to this structuring to the greatest vertical compressive strength mentioned previously, we must add, as essential benefits of the box, being totally blind, that prevents the action of light solar and dust on materials stored in your inside.

It only remains to indicate finally that the aforementioned cover It is fixed to the body of the box by strapping.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, according to a preferred example of practical realization of it, is accompanied as part member of that description, a set of drawings where with illustrative and non-limiting nature, what has been represented next:

Figure 1.- Shows a perspective view inside a box-pallet for packaging made in accordance with the object of the present invention.

Figure 2.- Shows another perspective view of the same box, now lateral and with one of its doors open.

Figure 3.- Shows, finally, another general perspective of the box, now in a situation of total closure, including the corresponding cover.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the figures outlined you can be observed as in the pallet box that is recommended a pallet itself (1) participates, which forms the basis of the box, of any conventional type, based on a grid wooden, conveniently raised above ground by legs (2) that allow the passage through the fork of a forklift or any other means of handling similar, pallet (1) that is intended to receive four walls sides that, according to the classic rectangular configuration of the pallet (1) will be two major walls (3) and two minor walls (4).

These major and minor side walls (3-4) are materialized in two boards plywood, preferably eucalyptus, reinforced by its external face by means of a pair of extreme boards (5), conveniently fixed to said boards, and in the case of larger side walls with a similar intermediate reinforcement, while internally said side walls have reinforcing slats, specifically with a lower slat (6) that supports directly on the pallet (1) and that properly fixed to the panel (3-4) in question allows the fixing of said panel to the pallet (1) by stapling. A second ribbon (7) is it establishes a medium level in height and also reinforces plywood boards in this area, allowing the union between them through staples, and finally a third reinforcement bar (8) is located in the vicinity of its mouth, leaving sufficiently tucked in to allow coupling fitted to the lid (9) that closes the box.

The slats (8) next to the mouth of the box, are offset in height between major side walls (3) and minors (4), so that they are superimposed by their ends for fixing between side walls, specifically in collaboration with pins (10), metallic or plastic, which manually they are operably inserted in holes (11) faced and existing in these slats (8).

These pins (10) allow the dejection of a pair of side doors (12) that affects the upper half of one of the major side walls and one of the walls minor sides (3-4), doors obtained by cutting of the plywood boards themselves (3-4) to  adequate height level, specifically immediately above of the inner and intermediate slats (7), settling in said doors another reinforcing strip (7 ') in correspondence with its lower edge and also on its inner face, being said doors (12) hingedly attached to the rest of the wall corresponding side (3-4) of the box, by hinges (13) materialized in flexible rubber bands, conveniently screwed or spiked to the boards and that allow to open and close without limitations.

These side doors (12) can only be unitary open so that the lid (9) remains permanently resting on three of its edges, and fixing said cover is carried out by the classic strap (14) enclosure of the box, similar to how it has been represented in figure 3 where there are two strapping strips of the lid.

As can be seen from the observation of the figures, the four side walls of the box and its lid are totally blind, to be obtained by board plywood, and on the pallet-base (1) can arrange a cardboard plate, so that the box is blind in its entire perimeter, thus protecting its content against the effects of solar radiation, dust and any agent environmental.
