Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pallet, in particular for the transport and / or storage of vehicle tires, with a base part and two opposite side parts, in particular which can be fastened perpendicularly to the base part, which together with the base part form a tire receiving area.
  • deformed tire beads Due to such deformations, major problems can arise during tire assembly, since deformed tire beads do not lie cleanly on the corresponding rim areas and, with the tubeless tires commonly used, the air catches required for mounting the beads on the associated rim seat are no longer guaranteed.
  • deformed tires are assessed negatively by dealers and customers from the outset. Furthermore, it cannot be ruled out that loss of quality will occur in the event of severe deformation and long storage times.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a range as simple and economical as possible according to the preamble of claim 1, with the harmful tire deformations can be reliably prevented even with a long storage time and a tight packing with tires is possible.
  • the support elements which can be arranged between the side parts at a predeterminable distance from the base part form one or more intermediate levels for the vehicle tires, so that the tire layer underneath can no longer be loaded and deformed by the weight of the tire layer above. In this way, deformation-related problems with air trapping during tire assembly and acceptance problems for dealers and customers can be reliably prevented. Since the support elements are rod-like and in pairs, they take up little space themselves and, depending on the tires to be accommodated, can be fastened between the side parts in such a way that an optimal packing density is made possible.
  • the side part has two adjacent and spaced-apart rows of horizontal cross members which are fastened with their ends to vertical support elements of the side part.
  • Each vertical row of cross members has two pairs of cross members, the vertical distance between the cross members of a pair being significantly less than the distance between the adjacent cross members of different pairs or the lowest cross member and the bottom part.
  • the support elements which advantageously consist of hollow profile rods, can be attached at the most favorable height.
  • the pallet consists of a bottom part 2 and two opposite, parallel side parts 4, 6, in the shortened support elements 8 shown in Fig. 1 can be hung in the form of tubular rods.
  • the side parts 4, 6 are pivotally mounted on the base part 2 and can be folded inwards into the position shown in dashed lines in FIG. 1.
  • the rectangular base part has four vertical feet 10 in its corners, to which frame elements 12, 13 with a U-shaped cross section are welded, the open ones Side faces outwards.
  • the frame elements 12, 13 form a rectangular, stable and circumferential base frame 14 which is arranged at a certain distance from the support surface 16 of the feet 10 and in a horizontal plane.
  • the feet extend in the vertical direction beyond the base frame 14 upwards and consist of a hollow profile with a U-shaped cross section, the open side of which is directed towards the side part arranged on the opposite side of the pallet.
  • this open side is closed in the lower section of the feet 10 up to the upper edge of the base frame 14 by a plate element 18 which is welded between the open legs of the U-profile, so that the feet 10 in their lower section as a hollow profile with a rectangular or square cross-section are formed.
  • the two longer frame elements of the base frame 14 are welded on their end faces to the plate elements 18 of the feet 10.
  • cup-shaped stand and stacking elements 20 with a rectangular cross-section and a diameter widening downward, into which the upper ends of vertical elements 44, 46 of the side parts 4, 6 of an underlying pallet can be inserted up to a predetermined length.
  • Two pairs of support elements 22, 24, 26, 28 are arranged in a horizontal plane between the shorter frame elements 12 of the base frame 14. These support elements run parallel to one another and to the longer frame elements 13 of the base frame 14 and are welded at their ends to the inner sides of the shorter frame elements 12.
  • the support elements 22, 24, 26, 28 have a square cross section and are upright in the base frame 14 arranged that the two outer support elements 22, 28 rest on the inner sides of the longer frame elements 13 and are welded to them in sections, while the inner support elements 24, 26 are provided at a distance from the associated outer support element 22 and 28, which is slightly less than the outside diameter of the vehicle tires to be accommodated. In this way, 22.24; 26,28 of supporting elements a number of vehicle tires are stored upright.
  • the stack support plates 30 are arranged in such a way that the forklift arms can be inserted under the base part 2 both from the long side and from the broad side and the pallet rests against the forklift arms in both types of transport in a manner that does not tip over.
  • bracket 32 which are welded from below onto the longer frame elements 13 of the base frame 14 and form a closed insertion opening for the forklift arms. It is sufficient that only one bracket 32 is provided on each frame element 13.
  • the stability of the pallet can be achieved by two flat steel elements 34 arranged below the shorter frame elements 12 of the base frame 14, which are welded to the stand and stack elements 20 of the feet 10 and towards the center by between the flat steel elements 34 and the frame elements 12 arranged supports 36 supported will.
  • two L-shaped flat steel elements 38 which run from the ends of the frame elements 12 towards the center, are welded on edge, which two lateral, parallel to the longitudinal direction of the pallet receiving spaces for the support elements 8 on the front and in the area of the frame elements 12 also limit laterally by the bent end.
  • the support elements 8 are inserted into these receiving spaces when the side parts 4, 6 are folded.
  • the upper legs of the frame elements 12 are provided with a noise-reducing pad 40 in the area of the receiving area for the support elements 8.
  • the feet 10 are connected to a cross tube 42 running parallel to the frame elements 12 in order to increase their stability.
  • the outer vertical elements 44, 46 of the side parts 4, 6 are hollow and have a square cross section.
  • the outer diameter of these vertical elements 44, 46 is slightly less than the clear width between the parallel legs of the upwardly open, U-shaped feet 10, so that the vertical elements 44, 46 are inserted with their lower end region 48 into the feet 10 from above can be.
  • the two vertical elements 44, 46 are connected to one another with a horizontally running hollow cross bar 50 of square cross section and near their upper ends with a horizontal cross tube 52.
  • the cross bar 50 and the cross tube 52 are formed by two parallel inner vertical elements 54, 56 in the form of a hollow bar with a square cross section welds, the connection of the upper ends of the vertical elements 54, 56 to the cross tube 52 being simplified in that the upper ends of the vertical elements 54, 56 are pressed together, ie flattened.
  • a horizontal stabilizing tube 58 is welded in between the vertical elements 54, 56.
  • the crossbeams 60, 62, 64, 66 serve as a support for the support elements 8, which are hooked into the crossbeams by means of cutouts 84.
  • the vertical distance between the two lower cross members 60, 62 and between the two upper cross members 64, 66 is significantly smaller than the vertical distance between the two middle cross members 62, 64.
  • 66 is thus used when using eight support elements 8 per pallet, only one cross member as a support element for a pair of support elements, while the other cross member of a pair remains unused.
  • the choice of whether the support elements 8 are placed on the upper cross members 62, 66 or lower cross members 60, 64 of a pair of cross members depends on the size of the tires and the type of storage.
  • the horizontal distance of the support elements 8 from one another can also be varied. This he follows by means of two horizontal stops 68, which are attached to each cross member 60, 62, 64, 66 at a certain distance from the vertical elements 44, 54, 46, 56.
  • the horizontal stops 68 advantageously consist of washers which are welded onto the cross members. If the support elements 8 are suspended between the horizontal stops 68 and the adjacent vertical elements 44, 54, 46, 56 in the cross members, the support elements 8 of a pair are pressed outwards by the weight of the tires, so that they rest against the vertical elements and a relative have a large horizontal distance from each other.
  • At least one support element 8 of a pair is placed on or suspended from the cross member within a horizontal stop 68, the horizontal distance between two associated support elements 8 is reduced by the amount resulting from the addition of the distance of the horizontal stop 68 from the adjacent vertical element and the thickness of the horizontal stop 68 results.
  • the outer vertical elements 44, 46 of the side parts 4, 6 have a support pin 70 in the lower end region 48, which in the erected state of the side parts lies in depressions 72 which are introduced into the upper end faces of the feet 10.
  • the vertical elements 44, 46 are further pivotally held by a screw or a bolt, not shown, which is provided by a vertical elongated hole 74 provided in the inner leg of the U-shaped pedestal 10 in cross section and by one at the lower end of the Vertical elements 44, 46 provided bore 76 is pluggable and forms a pivot bearing.
  • Fig. 3 a to d some arrangement options for vehicle tires within the range are shown, which result from the vertical and horizontal adjustment of the support elements 8.
  • the vehicle tires are arranged in two adjacent rows and on three levels.
  • Fig. 3 a shows six horizontal rows of vehicle tires, which are arranged standing on the support elements 8 and 22, 24, 26, 28.
  • the support elements 8 lie on the vertical elements 44, 54; 46, 56 of the side parts 4, 6, so that the distance between the associated support elements 8 is maximum.
  • the support rods 8 also lie on the upper cross members 62, 66 of the pair of cross members 60, 62 and 64, 66 belonging to a floor. If, however, the respective inner support elements 8, as shown in FIG. 3 b, are arranged within the inner horizontal stops 68, the distance between the tires of the rows of tires 78 and those of the rows of tires 80 is increased, so that tires with a larger outside diameter are accommodated can.
  • the support elements 8 lie on the respective lower cross members 60, 64 of a floor, which creates space for further tires 82 which are arranged lying on the top two rows 78, 80.
  • the support elements 8 can be positioned in a large number of further positions, not shown in FIGS. 3 a - d. Furthermore, with the aid of the principle explained above, it is possible to create pallets which can accommodate not only two but three or more rows of tires arranged next to one another on a different number of levels.
