Description

DESCRIPTION

PALLET MADE OF RECYCLED AND RECYCLABLE PLASTIC WITH GEOMETRIC, ALPHANUMERIC or AMORPHOUS LUMINESCENT INSERTS VISIBLE IN

SURFACE

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The invention, as expressed in the title of this specification, refers to the MANUFACTURING OF PALLETS FROM RECYCLED AND RECYCLABLE PLASTIC WITH INSERTS or GEOMETRIC, ALPHANUMERIC or AMORPHOUS LUMINESCENT INSERT VISIBLE ON THE SURFACE with advantages and characteristics, which will be described in detail later and that represent a novelty in the current state of the art in its field of application.

More particularly, the object of the invention focuses on the manufacture of a consistent, horizontal plastic platform used to stack, transport or handle different goods that incorporates inserts or a luminescent insert visible on the surface. Said plastic element, pallet, may combine wooden or metallic elements for reinforcement, support or fastening.

The pallet may be of any color or multicolor under daylight or artificial light, depending on the origin of the recycling, the mixture of different polymers or the use of dyes. Said pallet can be seen in the dark at the points where the inserts or luminescent insert have been made.

When the natural or artificial light disappears, the insert or inserts will begin to emit a luminosity that fades and gradually disappears over a certain period of time that will depend on the percentage and richness of the pigments in the formula. This application offers a striking visual effect of a signage nature but, in addition, it also clearly contributes to improving safety and sustainability within a circular economy.

FIELD OF APPLICATION OF THE INVENTION

The field of application of the present invention falls within the field of recovery and recovery of plastic in the production of logistics elements with luminescence located at strategic points. Its most relevant characteristics are that it combines 100% use of recycled and recyclable plastic together with additional luminescence in the inserts.

These characteristics generate an ideal application in the dark of interior or exterior spaces, providing highly useful values in their fields.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

As a reference to the current state of the art, it should be noted that, although different materials of the aforementioned types that are concerned here are known, at least by the applicant, the existence of none that has technical characteristics is unknown. and constitutive similar to those specifically presented by the one advocated here, as claimed.

EXPLANATION OF THE INVENTION

Thus, the RECYCLED AND RECYCLABLE PLASTIC PALLET WITH INSERTS or GEOMETRIC, ALPHANUMERIC or AMORPHOUS LUMINESCENT INSERT VISIBLE ON THE SURFACE that the invention proposes is configured as a novelty within its field of application, with the characterizing details that distinguish it from what is already known, conveniently collected in the final claims that accompany this description.

Specifically, the RECYCLED and RECYCLABLE PLASTIC PALLET WITH INSERTS or GEOMETRIC, ALPHANUMERIC or AMORPHOUS LUMINESCENT INSERT VISIBLE ON THE SURFACE that the invention proposes, as noted above, is a product with logistics applications for stacking, transporting or handling different goods.

These various applications are distinguished by the fact that they have one or more locations on the pallet with translucent photoluminescent properties, of the phosphorescent type, which give it the ability to emit light, previously absorbed, for a certain time, in its absence. without alternatively ruling out that it has photoluminescent properties of the fluorescent type or optionally both at the same time.

For this, the recycled and recyclable plastic pallet with inserts or translucent luminescent insert of the invention, is constituted from the recycled and recyclable plastic obtained from yellow containers, from the agricultural or livestock sector or industrial origin, being selected in plants of waste treatment, waste generating companies or authorized managers.

The utility patent that concerns us creates recyclable plastic pallets through a press or extrusion process mixing different polymers (mainly PEHD, PELD, PP, PS, ABS, PET AND POLYAMIDE) that transforms the raw material (treated plastic waste ) through a controlled application of heat that melts the plastic without burning it. Thus creating a compact and homogeneous mass, without going through a washing process and therefore without generating leachates that harm the environment.

Additionally, on the surface of said pallet there will be several holes generated in the mold itself or with incisions, or with milling as a channel or channels to be filled with a resin. Said resin could be based on an epoxy polymer, polyurethane, elastomer, acrylic, polyester, methacrylate or other liquid element or paste that will dry by oxidation, catalysis, infrared or ultraviolet incidence of one or more components. The aforementioned resin will be homogenized with translucent photoluminescent pigments in a proportion of 1% to 80% and will provide the photoluminescent properties that, preferably, consist of Strontium Aluminate doped with Europium or Zinc sulfide pigments. These generate a translucent luminescent effect in the absence of light, always, after having been in contact with the same. The resin will provide a fluorescent and/or translucent phosphorescent effect, or a mixture of both, without ruling out any other chemical component or mixture that provides said phosphorescence and/or fluorescence properties.

During the day, it is worth highlighting the novelty of being able to see any pallet made from recyclable plastic with inserts or luminescent inserts on the surface without perceiving any difference with respect to any other with daylight or artificial light. In the dark these surface translucent luminescent inserts will emit, thanks to the additional component, phosphorescent and/or fluorescent properties. Although it may be any color in the dark, it will preferably be greenish-yellow, greenish-blue or blue. With which said predominant components included in the coating will be the ones that give said color to the luminescence. The color of the inserts or insert during the day or with artificial light may be the same color as the recycled plastic of the pallet or if a differentiation and contrast is sought, then any type of color can be created for said insert.

The pallet made from recyclable and recycled plastic together with the inserts or translucent luminescent insert visible in the dark allows you to see the luminous characteristic in geometric, alphanumeric, linear or amorphous form that will give the possibility of creating any shape such as circles, letters, numbers. , symbols, drawings or any type of translucent luminescent logo in the dark.

Said luminescence in the dark provides for a limited time a possible perimeter or volumetric visualization, a detection of critical or extreme points, such as property identification mark or simply as a decoration in the form of an inserted luminescent drawing or logo.

This set is unknown until now for the purpose to which it is intended and provides a useful and practical innovative novelty that provides sufficient foundation to obtain the privilege of exclusivity that is requested.
