Definitions

  • This invention relates to a load carrying pallet as set forth in the preamble of claim 1, and to a method for using such pallet according to the preamble of claim 17.
  • a pallet according to the preamble of claim 1 is, for example, known from CA-A-971 116.
  • pallets have substantial advantages in improving the mechanical handling of goods and commercial products, their use have some disadvantages in respect to handling the pallet when unloaded. Since most pallets are being recycled or returned to the manufacturer of the goods or the warehouse from which they were shipped, the handling of the empty pallet is involving considerable handling costs. Furthermore, the empty pallets occupy space that could have been otherwise available for other purposes in the store / warehouse, or during transport / logistics.
  • a pallet of the type, requiring only a little space when empty is known from GB 2 061 871 A.
  • the pallet described in this reference refers to a load carrying pallet comprising a base section having a surface layer and two support elements also having surface layers in contact with and secured to the surface layer of the base section, integrally formed and connected by an flexible hinge portion to said surface layer of the base section.
  • the pallet is constructed of cardboard as a single element and comprised of respective outer layers of cardboard. Interposed a sandwiched honey-comb structure made of paper is arranged.
  • the pallet described in GB 2 061 871 A is intended for carrying both light weight goods and heavy goods.
  • the construction is vulnerable to damage when handled by a fork-lift truck and especially when the support elements are subjected to relatively large laterally-directed forces the walls are vulnerable of collapsing.
  • first walls and the second walls comprise engagement means for connecting said first walls to said second wall, whereby said walls provide a stable construction for the support plate and the engagement means provide a snap-lock, whereby the engagement of said first and second walls allow a quick assembly of the pallet.
  • the pallet comprise releasable engagement means, whereby the foldable pallet may be brought to reassume a flattened state.
  • the first walls and the second walls are hinged to the support plate by use of film-like hinge areas of reduced thickness, and the film-like hinge areas of reduced thickness are integrally molded areas of the pallet, whereby a sturdy construction of the pallet is achieved.
  • the second walls have at least one, preferably two openings, and said opening being a recess extending towards said hinge from an edge of the second walls opposite the hinge, whereby there is obtained an opening for the insertion of the tines of a fork-lift.
  • the two recesses are arranged symmetrically about a centre axis of said second walls, and extending towards the first walls, said centre axis being perpendicular to said film-like hinge areas of reduced thickness, whereby a central support element 16 is obtained.
  • the support plate comprises a first sheet and a second sheet, and welded or molded together, and that the first walls and the second walls comprise a first sheet and a second sheet, welded or molded together, whereby a particular light construction of a pallet is obtained.
  • the first sheet is kept a distance from said second sheet by means of separate distance pieces, said distance pieces being welded to said sheets, whereby a particular light and strong construction of a pallet is obtained.
  • the first sheet is kept at a distance from said second sheet by means of distance pieces, said distance pieces being bulges protruding from said second sheet, and that said bulges being welded to said first sheet, whereby a yet particular light and strong construction of the pallet is obtained.
  • the support plate, the first walls, and the second walls are solid, or substantively solid, where by a strong construction of the pallet is obtained.
  • the first edges of the support plate and the first walls have an extension of about 1200 mm, or 1200 mm; and that second edges of the support plate and the second walls have an extension of about 800 mm, or 800 mm, whereby a pallet of a preferred dimension is obtained.
  • the first edges of the support plate and the first walls have an extension of about 1200 mm, or 1200 mm; and that second edges of the support plate and the second walls have an extension of about 1000 mm, or 1000 mm, whereby a pallet of another preferred dimension is obtained.
  • FIG. 1 of the drawings there is illustrated a bottom plane view of the pallet in a collapsed state, the pallet comprising a support plate 10 (base section), two first walls 11 arranged at opposite edges at the support plate 10 (base section) and two second walls 12 arranged at two other opposite edges at said support section 10.
  • the first walls 11 and the second walls 12 are hinged to the support plate 10 by film-like hinge areas of reduced thickness 20, whereby said film-like hinge areas of reduced thickness 20 are preferably integrally molded parts of the pallet (10).
  • the walls 11, 12 comprise edges 11a, 12a perpendicular to the film-like hinge areas of reduced thickness 20, and at said edges 11a, 12a the walls 11, 12 comprise engagement means arranged for the engagement of the first wall 11 with the second wall 12.
  • a center axis 5 is arranged symmetrically, or substantially symmetrically to the second edges.
  • the engagement means is a snap-lock where the edge 11a of first wall 11 comprise a protruding ear 31 being flexible and allowing a spring like movement of the protruding ear 31.
  • the second wall 12 comprise an opening 30 arranged for the insertion of the protruding ear 31, thereby providing an engagement between the first wall 11 and the second wall 12.
  • the edges 32 will when the pallet is assembled and placed on the floor constitute the contact faces between the floor and the walls 11, 12.
  • yet another opening could be arranged in the first wall 11, and the protruding ear 31 could be constituted by a separate clamp (not shown) arranged for the insertion in said openings thereby providing a snap-lock for the engagement of said first wall 11 to said second wall 12.
  • the second walls 12 each comprises two recesses 13 extending towards said film-like hinge areas of reduced thickness 20 (hinge) from an edge 12c of the second wall 12 opposite the hinge.
  • a central support element 16 which serves to reduce the bending moments in the support section (10), which bending moments among other factors are dependent of the unsupported span of the support plate (10).
  • the two recesses 13 provide space for the insertion of the tines of a fork-lift truck (not shown) such that the pallet may be lifted by the fork-lift truck. It will be noted that, the recesses 13 preferably have an extent towards the hinge like areas of reduced thickness 20 whereby the tines of the fork-lift upon insertion of the tines will contact the surface of the downside of the support section, thereby providing contact of the tines with the surface of the downside of the support plate.
  • FIG 3 a cross-sectioned view of the pallet at the hinged edge between one of the walls 11, 12 and the support plate (base section) 10 is illustrated, the pallet being shown in an up-side-down position.
  • the support plate 10 (base section) comprise a support surface 9 and a downside 8, where said support surface 9 is arranged for carrying the goods/products to be transported or stored.
  • the walls 11, 12 comprise a contact face 30a extending perpendicular to a side surface 9a of the walls 11, 12 arranged in the area of the hinge like area of reduced thickness 20.
  • a similar contact face 30b of support plate 10 is arranged at the edges 10a, 10b of the support plate 10, said contact face 30b extending parallel to the support surface 9 of the support plate 10 towards the hinge like areas of reduced thickness 20.
  • first walls and the second walls are both pivoted about the film-like hinge areas of reduced thickness 20, preferably at an angle of 90° whereby the first contact face 30a and the second contact face 30b abut each other thereby ensuring that forces related to the goods loaded on the support surface (support plate) are distributed from the contact faces 30a, 30b through the walls to the base (floor).
  • the thickness of the pallet (of the walls 11, 12 and the support plate 10) and the extent of the contact face 30a, 30b will be selected in accordance with the loads to be carried and the actual size of the pallet, and furthermore in some special cases is dependent on the construction of the pallet among these if the pallet is solid or the sandwich board type.
  • the pallet may be constructed of a solid plate material, or of a substantially solid plate material.
  • the pallet is constructed of plastic materials and more preferably a thermo plastic material.
  • the pallet is constructed of a reinforced plastic material comprising fibers, e.g.: Glass fibers, Carbon fibers.
  • the pallet is constructed of reinforced palsitc material comprising or the pallet may be comprise a reinforcement of steel or aluminum in the form of a reinforcement mat, a wire netting or bars.
  • FIG 5 an intersected cross section of a preferred embodiment of the pallet is illustrated.
  • the intersected section shows the pallet at the hinged edge (the film like areas of reduced thickness 20) between a wall 11, 12 and the support plate 10.
  • a cross section of an assembled pallet is shown.
  • the pallet is a sandwich board type comprising a first sheet 9 and a second sheet 8, where said second sheet 8 comprise distance pieces being bulges 35 protruding from the surface of said second sheet 8.
  • the bulges 35 form a plurality of rows of distance pieces (supporting points) in the second sheet which are subsequently attached to the first sheet.
  • the first sheet 9 and second sheet 8 are joined along the edges 10a, 10b of the pallet preferably by molding techniques or by welding techniques commonly know by the person skilled in the art of plastics fabrication/productions. Furthermore, the bulges 35 protruding from the surface of said second sheet 8 are spot welded to the inner surface of the first sheet 9, said spot welding being indicated with the reference sign 6.
  • the pallet may be transported or stored when unloaded in the form illustrated in figure 1. That is the pallet may be transported or stored in its flat form, in combination with its light-weight construction that there may be substantial savings in relation to pallets of conventional types, e.g. the EU-pallet of wood.
