Definitions
- the present invention relates to a pallet.
- Pallets have a rectangular platform for loading several goods at the same time.
- the platform is on feet so that the forks of a forklift or a pallet truck can go in and pick up and move the pallet.
- the feet are provided with a certain runner lying on the floor.
- With the Euro pallet there are three runners lying parallel to each other in the longitudinal direction of the platform, which are each connected to the platform by three feet, one at the two ends and one in the middle. This enables high loads.
- These pallets are increasingly being made from plastic, for example HDPE or from thermoplastic recycled plastic.
- Plastic pallets which have considerable advantages over conventional wooden pallets, usually consist of a single piece, or the platform, the feet and the runners are inseparable. When handling the pallets, it cannot be avoided that especially the runners rubbing on the floor of the warehouse or storage area are subject to greater wear. Skids also break. This means that the entire pallet has to be disposed of and replaced after some time.
- the invention has for its object to provide a range of the structure described above, which is easy to manufacture and has a longer life.
- the range according to the invention corresponds to the characterizing features of claim 1. Further advantageous developments of the inventive concept can be seen from the dependent claims.
- Fig. 1 shows the pallet in plan view
- Fig. 2 shows the same pallet in longitudinal section along the line A - A;
- Fig. 3. shows the pallet in cross section along the line B - B;
- Fig. 4 shows a foot of the pallet in detail
- the pallet which preferably consists of HDPE, has a platform 1 with a plurality of openings 2. It stands on nine feet 3, three of which are connected by a common runner 4.
- the three runners 4 are detachably connected to the platform 1, or with its feet 3.
- a locking system with claws 5 and 6 is provided, as can be seen from FIG. 4.
- the first claws 5 are connected to the respective foot 3, the second claws 6 to the corresponding runner 4.
- the feet 3 are fixed to the platform 1 and are designed as a hollow body with a rectangular cross section, on the four inner walls of which a claw 5 is formed as a wedge-shaped elevation.
- These four oscillating webs 7, 8, 9 and 10 are designed with their free ends 11 and 12 so that they spring so that their claws 6 are held in engagement with the claws 5 of the feet 3 by the spring force.
- the oscillating webs 7, 8, 9 and 10 can be pressed out of engagement by means of a suitable tool through the platform 1.
- a special tool made of metal is preferably provided with four tongues fitting into the slot-like openings 13, 14, 15 and 16, as a result of which all rocking webs 7, 8, 9 and 10 of a group can be pressed on at the same time.
- the runner 4 is then released from the foot 3 and can be removed downwards and replaced by a new one.
- the entire range does not need to be disposed of, but only the runners 4 have to be replaced. Nevertheless, there is a very stable and not unintentionally detachable connection of the components.
- the underside of the runners 4 lying on the floor can, as can be seen in FIG. 3, have grooves 17.
- corresponding openings can be present in the runner 4. It would also be conceivable to provide a single central opening.

- the top of the platform 1 can also be provided with a non-slip surface, for example by grooves or edges.
- one or more rubber-elastic pads can also be provided. These can either be placed on the surface or pin-like in the openings 2 or the openings 13, 14, 15, and 16.
- FIGS. 5 and 6 A special example of the anti-slip design of the platform 1 is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6.
- the rubber-elastic pads 18 are intended to be attached to the platform 1, in each case via the feet 3.
- the rectangular support 18 shown in FIG. 5 is intended for the two side rows of feet, the square one in FIG. 6 for the middle row of feet. 5 and three according to FIG. 6 are therefore required.

So that the supports 18 cannot fall out, the formations 19, 20, 21 and 22 are each provided with a lip 23. Thanks to the supports 18, the cargo cannot slip away during transport. Even empty, stacked pallets cannot move.
- the rubber-elastic pads 18 also prevent dirt from trickling through. As a result, in particular the area of the claws 5 and 6 is effectively protected against undesired soiling.
- the pallet in detail differently than previously described with reference to the drawing. So you can ten the platform 1, the feet 3, the runners 4, the rocker bars 7, 8, 9 and 10 or the rubber-elastic pads 18 be shaped differently than shown. In particular, the shape and number of claws 5 and 6 of the oscillating webs 7, 8, 9 and 10 could also be selected differently. It would also be conceivable to firmly connect the feet 3 to the runners 4 instead of the platform 1 and the rocker bars 7, 8, 9 and 10 for this purpose to the platform 1.

Abstract
Description
Palettepalette
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Palette.The present invention relates to a pallet.
Paletten weisen eine rechteckige Plattform zum gleichzeitigen Verladen mehrerer Güter auf. Die Plattform steht derart auf Füssen, dass die Gabeln eines Gabelstaplers oder eines Hubwagens hinein fahren und die Palette aufnehmen und bewegen können. Die Füsse sind mit einer auf dem Boden zu liegen bestimmten Kufe versehen. Bei der Euro-Palette sind es drei in Längsrichtung der Plattform parallel nebeneinander liegende Kufen, die mit der Plattform jeweils durch drei Füsse verbunden sind, je einer an den beiden Enden und einer in der Mitte. Dadurch sind hohe Traglasten möglich. Diese Paletten werden zunehmend aus Kunststoff hergestellt, beispielsweise HDPE oder aus thermoplastischem Recyclingkunststoff. Kunststoffpaletten, die gegenüber den herkömmlichen Holzpaletten erhebliche Vorteile aufweisen, bestehen gewöhnlich aus einem einzigen Stück, bzw. die Plattform, die Füsse und die Kufen sind untrennbar miteinander verbunden. Bei der Handhabung der Paletten lässt es sich nicht vermeiden, dass insbesondere die auf dem Hallen- oder Lagerplatzboden reibenden Kufen einer stärkeren Abnützung unterliegen. Auch kommt es vor, dass Kufen brechen. Dies führt dazu, dass die kompletten Paletten nach einiger Zeit entsorgt und ersetzt werden müssen.Pallets have a rectangular platform for loading several goods at the same time. The platform is on feet so that the forks of a forklift or a pallet truck can go in and pick up and move the pallet. The feet are provided with a certain runner lying on the floor. With the Euro pallet there are three runners lying parallel to each other in the longitudinal direction of the platform, which are each connected to the platform by three feet, one at the two ends and one in the middle. This enables high loads. These pallets are increasingly being made from plastic, for example HDPE or from thermoplastic recycled plastic. Plastic pallets, which have considerable advantages over conventional wooden pallets, usually consist of a single piece, or the platform, the feet and the runners are inseparable. When handling the pallets, it cannot be avoided that especially the runners rubbing on the floor of the warehouse or storage area are subject to greater wear. Skids also break. This means that the entire pallet has to be disposed of and replaced after some time.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Palette des eingangs beschriebenen Aufbaus zu schaffen, die einfach herstellbar ist und eine längere Lebensdauer aufweist. Die erfindungsgemässe Palette entspricht den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Patentanspruchs 1. Weitere vorteilhafte Ausbildungen des Erfindungsgedankens sind aus den abhängigen Patentansprüchen ersichtlich.The invention has for its object to provide a range of the structure described above, which is easy to manufacture and has a longer life. The range according to the invention corresponds to the characterizing features of claim 1. Further advantageous developments of the inventive concept can be seen from the dependent claims.
Nachfolgend wird ein bevorzugtes Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung anhand der schematischen Zeichnung näher beschrieben.A preferred exemplary embodiment of the invention is described in more detail below with reference to the schematic drawing.
Fig. 1 zeigt die Palette in der Draufsicht;Fig. 1 shows the pallet in plan view;
Fig. 2 zeigt dieselbe Palette im Längsschnitt nach der Linie A - A;Fig. 2 shows the same pallet in longitudinal section along the line A - A;
Fig. 3 . zeigt die Palette im Querschnitt nach der Linie B - B;Fig. 3. shows the pallet in cross section along the line B - B;
Fig. 4 zeigt einen Fuss der Palette im Detail;Fig. 4 shows a foot of the pallet in detail;
Fig. 5 - 6 zeigen eine rutschhemmende Auflage.5-6 show an anti-slip pad.
Die vorzugsweise aus HDPE bestehende Palette weist, wie an sich bekannt, eine Plattform 1 mit einer Mehrzahl von Durchbrechungen 2 auf. Sie steht auf neun Füssen 3, von denen je drei durch eine gemeinsame Kufe 4 verbunden sind.As is known per se, the pallet, which preferably consists of HDPE, has a platform 1 with a plurality of openings 2. It stands on nine feet 3, three of which are connected by a common runner 4.
Erfindungsgemäss sind die drei Kufen 4 lösbar mit der Plattform 1 , bzw. mit deren Füssen 3 verbunden. Hierzu ist ein Verschlusssystem mit Krallen 5 und 6 vorgesehen, wie es aus Fig. 4 ersichtlich ist. Die ersten Krallen 5 sind mit dem jeweiligen Fuss 3 verbunden, die zweiten Krallen 6 mit der entsprechenden Kufe 4.According to the three runners 4 are detachably connected to the platform 1, or with its feet 3. For this purpose, a locking system with claws 5 and 6 is provided, as can be seen from FIG. 4. The first claws 5 are connected to the respective foot 3, the second claws 6 to the corresponding runner 4.
Die Füsse 3 sind fest an der Plattform 1 angeordnet und als im Querschnitt rechteckiger Hohlkörper ausgebildet, an dessen vier Innenwänden jeweils eine Kralle 5 als keilförmige Erhebung ausgeformt ist. An den Kufen 4 sind, wie auch aus Fig. 1 ersichtlich, jeweils vier Schwingstege 7, 8, 9 und 10 angeordnet, die einander paarweise gegenüberliegen und als Vierergruppe in den offenen Querschnitt der Füsse 3 passen. Diese vier Schwingstege 7, 8, 9 und 10 sind mit ihrem freien Ende 11 und 12 derart federnd schwingend ausgebildet, dass ihre Krallen 6 durch die Federkraft in Eingriff mit den Krallen 5 der Füsse 3 gehalten werden. Durch im vorliegenden Beispiel schlitzartige Öffnungen13, 14, 15 und 16, können die Schwingstege 7, 8, 9 und 10 mittels eines geeigneten Werkzeugs durch die Plattform 1 hindurch greifend ausser Eingriff gedrückt werden. Vorzugsweise wird hierzu ein besonderes Werkzeug aus Metall mit vier in die schlitzartigen Öffnungen 13, 14, 15 und 16 passenden Zungen bereitgestellt, wodurch man gleichzeitig alle Schwingstege 7, 8, 9 und 10 einer Gruppe aufdrücken kann. Die Kufe 4 ist dann vom Fuss 3 gelöst und kann nach unten abgenommen und durch eine neue ersetzt werden. Somit braucht bei Verschleisserscheinungen oder Beschädigungen der Kufen 4 nicht die ganze Palette entsorgt, sondern nur die Kufen 4 ausgetauscht werden. Dennoch ist eine sehr stabile und nicht unbeabsichtigt lösbare Verbindung der Bauteile gegeben.The feet 3 are fixed to the platform 1 and are designed as a hollow body with a rectangular cross section, on the four inner walls of which a claw 5 is formed as a wedge-shaped elevation. On the runners 4, as can also be seen from FIG. 1, four rocker bars 7, 8, 9 and 10 are arranged, which are opposite each other in pairs and fit as a group of four in the open cross section of the feet 3. These four oscillating webs 7, 8, 9 and 10 are designed with their free ends 11 and 12 so that they spring so that their claws 6 are held in engagement with the claws 5 of the feet 3 by the spring force. Through slot-like openings 13, 14, 15 and 16 in the present example, the oscillating webs 7, 8, 9 and 10 can be pressed out of engagement by means of a suitable tool through the platform 1. For this purpose, a special tool made of metal is preferably provided with four tongues fitting into the slot-like openings 13, 14, 15 and 16, as a result of which all rocking webs 7, 8, 9 and 10 of a group can be pressed on at the same time. The runner 4 is then released from the foot 3 and can be removed downwards and replaced by a new one. Thus, in the event of signs of wear or damage to the runners 4, the entire range does not need to be disposed of, but only the runners 4 have to be replaced. Nevertheless, there is a very stable and not unintentionally detachable connection of the components.
Die auf dem Boden zu liegen bestimmte Unterseite der Kufen 4 kann, wie aus Fig. 3 ersichtlich, Rillen 17 aufweisen. Zum Aufdrücken der Schwingstege 7, 8, 9 und 10 können, alternativ oder zusätzlich zu den in der Plattform angebrachten schlitzartigen Öffnungen 13, 14, 15 und 16, entsprechende Öffnungen in der Kufe 4 vorhanden sein. Denkbar wäre es auch je eine zentrale, einzige Öffnung vorzusehen.The underside of the runners 4 lying on the floor can, as can be seen in FIG. 3, have grooves 17. For pressing the rocker webs 7, 8, 9 and 10, as an alternative or in addition to the slot-like openings 13, 14, 15 and 16 provided in the platform, corresponding openings can be present in the runner 4. It would also be conceivable to provide a single central opening.
Die im vorliegenden Ausführungsbeispiel der Erfindung vorgeschlagene Palette besteht somit aus vier Bauteilen, nämlich aus einer Plattform 1 mit neun daran ausgeformten, hohlen Füssen 3 und drei lösbaren Kufen 4, mit neun daran angeformten Gruppen von vier Schwingstegen 7, 8, 9 und 10. Diese Bauteile, wovon zwei identisch sind, können einfach und preisgünstig hergestellt werden. Auch die durch Zusammenstecken erfolgende Montage ist denkbar einfach, sie könnte daher auch beim Endabnehmer stattfinden. Ohne dass jeweils eine Gruppe von frei federnden Schwingstegen 7, 8, 9 und 10 vorgesehen wäre, könnten die Kufen 4 nicht mehr von der Plattform 1 gelöst werden. Besonders vorteilhaft ist dabei, dass die Krallen 5 und 6 im Inneren der Füsse 3 geschützt untergebracht und dort nur mit entsprechendem Werkzeug erreichbar sind.The pallet proposed in the present exemplary embodiment of the invention thus consists of four components, namely a platform 1 with nine hollow feet 3 formed thereon and three detachable runners 4, with nine groups of four oscillating webs 7, 8, 9 and 10 formed thereon Components, two of which are identical, can be manufactured easily and inexpensively. The assembly, which is done by plugging together, is very simple, so it could also be used by the end user occur. Without a group of freely resilient oscillating webs 7, 8, 9 and 10 being provided, the runners 4 could no longer be detached from the platform 1. It is particularly advantageous that the claws 5 and 6 are protected in the interior of the feet 3 and can only be reached there with the appropriate tools.
Die Oberseite der Plattform 1 kann im übrigen mit einer rutschhemmenden Oberfläche versehen werden, beispielsweise durch Rillen oder Kanten. Darüber hinaus können auch eine oder mehrere gummielastische Auflagen vorgesehen werden. Diese können entweder auf die Oberfläche gelegt oder zapfenartig in die Durchbrechungen 2 oder die Öffnungen 13, 14, 15, und 16 geklemmt werden.The top of the platform 1 can also be provided with a non-slip surface, for example by grooves or edges. In addition, one or more rubber-elastic pads can also be provided. These can either be placed on the surface or pin-like in the openings 2 or the openings 13, 14, 15, and 16.
Ein besonderes Beispiel der rutschemmenden Ausbildung der Plattform 1 ist in den Fig. 5 und 6 dargestellt. Die gummielastischen Auflagen 18 sind dazu bestimmt, auf die Plattform 1 , jeweils über die Füsse 3 angebracht zu werden. Die in Fig. 5 dargestellte rechteckige Auflage 18 ist für die beiden seitlichen Fussreihen gedacht, die quadratische in Fig. 6 für die mittlere Fussreihe. Es braucht somit sechs Auflagen 18 nach Fig. 5 und drei nach Fig. 6. Die Auflagen 18 sind mit Ausformungen 19, 20, 21 und 22 versehen, die dazu bestimmt sind, in die schlitzartigen Öffnungen 13, 14, 15 und 16 gesteckt zu werden. Damit die Auflagen 18 nicht herausfallen können, sind die Ausformungen 19, 20, 21 und 22 jeweils mit einer Lippe 23 versehen. Dank der Auflagen 18 kann beim Transport das Ladegut nicht weg rutschen. Auch leere, aufeinander gestapelte Paletten, können sich nicht bewegen. Neben dem rutschhemmenden Effekt, wird durch die gummielastischen Auflagen 18 aber auch das Durchrieseln von Schmutz verhindert. Dadurch ist insbesondere der Bereich der Krallen 5 und 6 wirksam vor unerwünschter Verschmutzung geschützt.A special example of the anti-slip design of the platform 1 is shown in FIGS. 5 and 6. The rubber-elastic pads 18 are intended to be attached to the platform 1, in each case via the feet 3. The rectangular support 18 shown in FIG. 5 is intended for the two side rows of feet, the square one in FIG. 6 for the middle row of feet. 5 and three according to FIG. 6 are therefore required. The supports 18 are provided with formations 19, 20, 21 and 22 which are intended to be inserted into the slot-like openings 13, 14, 15 and 16 become. So that the supports 18 cannot fall out, the formations 19, 20, 21 and 22 are each provided with a lip 23. Thanks to the supports 18, the cargo cannot slip away during transport. Even empty, stacked pallets cannot move. In addition to the anti-slip effect, the rubber-elastic pads 18 also prevent dirt from trickling through. As a result, in particular the area of the claws 5 and 6 is effectively protected against undesired soiling.
Es liegt im Rahmen der Erfindung, die Palette im einzelnen auch anders als vorgehend anhand der Zeichnung beschrieben auszubilden. So könn- ten die Plattform 1 , die Füsse 3, die Kufen 4, die Schwingstege 7, 8, 9 und 10 oder die gummielastischen Auflagen 18 anders als gezeichnet geformt sein. Insbesondere könnte auch die Form und Anzahl der Krallen 5 und 6 der Schwingstege 7, 8, 9 und 10 anders gewählt werden. Denkbar wäre es ferner, die Füsse 3 anstatt mit der Plattform 1 mit den Kufen 4 fest zu verbinden und die Schwingstege 7, 8, 9 und 10 dafür mit der Plattform 1. It is within the scope of the invention to design the pallet in detail differently than previously described with reference to the drawing. So you can ten the platform 1, the feet 3, the runners 4, the rocker bars 7, 8, 9 and 10 or the rubber-elastic pads 18 be shaped differently than shown. In particular, the shape and number of claws 5 and 6 of the oscillating webs 7, 8, 9 and 10 could also be selected differently. It would also be conceivable to firmly connect the feet 3 to the runners 4 instead of the platform 1 and the rocker bars 7, 8, 9 and 10 for this purpose to the platform 1.
