Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pallet for supporting a load to facilitate its handling, its transport.
  • Such a pallet is in principle constituted, in its most known version, dice or pads serving as seating on the ground and which are joined by the top by cross on which is fixed a rectangular or square floor for supporting the commodity.
  • the height of the studs under the cross members delimits a passage in which the forks of a hoist can be introduced so that the machine can handle the pallet.
  • the pallet is called "four entrances", when it is graspable on all four sides. Chevrons can replace the side pads to reinforce its structure and when full, the pallet is called "two entries” as prehensile only on two opposite sides.
  • the pads can be joined from below by means of soles to strengthen the structure of the pallet or to reduce its pressure on the ground.
  • Such a palette is used, for example, to load building materials and must be able to rest on soil without sinking too much to be grippable.
  • the geometry of the floor surface defines the loading unit of the pallet.
  • the dimensions expressed in cm most common are: 100 x 120, and the corresponding half-pallet: 60 x 100, as well as the corresponding pallet quarter: 50 x 60.
  • the reduction by a factor 2 of one dimension of the reduced pallet allows to join the pallets to transport them and this without loss of useful area.
  • the pallet is made of wood in 90% of cases, still economical material.
  • the assembly of the floor on the sleepers or on the studs, sleepers on the studs, soles on the studs, is made by nailing, stapling. Thanks to this multi-component construction, the pallet can be repaired.
  • a pallet of milk packs, of which a brick is leaking, is refused, when it is not the rest of the goods transported in the truck which is refused.
  • it can paralyze a complete automated packaging chain by blocking a single pallet.
  • ISPM 15 International Standard for Phytosanitary Measures No. 15
  • a handling pallet comprising a floor provided for supporting the goods, a sole provided to bear on the ground, the floor being separated from the sole by spacers delimiting a passage intended to allow the introduction of forks of a hoist to move it;
  • each spacer has a C-shaped geometry comprising an upper wall fixed under the floor, a lower wall fixed with the soleplate, connected by an intermediate plate, the support wall of an angled profile being interposed between the high walls of the spacers of the same row and the lower face of said floor to support it, fasteners of vertical axis, in the normal position of loading the pallet, connecting the floor, the support wall and said walls; high.
  • the spacer being fixed by the bottom of the floor, it is possible to use fasteners that do not protrude from the upper face of the pallet to avoid damaging the goods it is required to wear.
  • the length of the angled profiles is used to determine the length of the pallet.
  • each spacer is fixed under the sole; the floor, the sole, are made with common and interchangeable parallelepiped elements, fasteners vertical axis, connecting the sole and said lower walls.
  • the components of the floor, the soleplate can be easily dismantled, struts removed and replaced to repair the pallet.
  • the angled section comprises a side wall which abuts a lateral edge of the floor; the intermediate wall of a corresponding spacer adjoins a side edge of the sole.
  • the two songs on the same side of the palette are practically coplanar.
  • the bottom wall of the spacer is housed in a groove dug in the lower face of each end of a corresponding element.
  • the sole rests flat on the floor.
  • counterbores excavate the upper face of the floor and in which are fully housed the projecting parts of the fasteners.
  • the fastening elements consist of rivets.
  • the pallet is provided with fastening means secured to the spacers and designed to couple mutually two juxtaposed pallets.
  • a pallet with an extended surface can be constructed with two basic pallets.
  • the fixing means comprise an anti-separation plate arranged at a short distance behind the corresponding intermediate plate of a pallet, so as to define a gap in which a spacer of another pallet can be retained by insertion.
  • the two selected pallets can not be discarded.
  • the anti-separation plate is joined to the corresponding intermediate plate of a pallet, via a wall forming a stop in the longitudinal direction to a spacer of another pallet.
  • the two juxtaposed pallets are correctly positioned at the end of their assembly.
  • the elements of the floor are laterally offset elements of the sole.
  • the anti-spacing plates spacers of the same row belonging to a pallet are abutted vertically on the support wall of a pallet juxtaposed at the end of the meeting of the two pallets. It is thus possible to handle the extended pallet consisting of these two assembled pallets.
  • the height of the spacer spacer plate is less than the distance separating the elements of the floor, the elements of the soleplate, and the part of the intermediate plates of a row of struts, located above a sole element, is shaped front offset, that is to say, recessed towards the inside of the pallet.
  • the edges of the floor and the sole of an extended pallet and which are turned vis-à-vis, are joined.
  • the extended pallet consisting of two assembled pallets remains stable during handling.
  • the number of elements constituting the floor is odd when the number of spacers located on the same side is odd.
  • Each element is fixed in the same way on the pallet.
  • the palette 100 presented on the Fig. 1 , is intended to carry a commodity to facilitate its handling its transport. It is presented in its horizontal position and normal loading. It consists of a floor 300 intended to support the goods, a sole 400 intended to bear on the ground and which are joined by means of spacers 200 defining between the floor 300 and the sole 400 a passage for to allow the introduction of forks of a hoist to move it.
  • the surface covered by the floor is preferably polygonal and preferably rectangular or square.
  • the floor 300 and the sole 400 consist of a plurality of parallelepipedal elements 310 and a copy of which is shown on the drawing.
  • Fig. 2 seen from above, in view from below and following two cuts.
  • the elements have the same geometry to enter indifferently into the structure of the floor or the sole. They are therefore interchangeable.
  • At least one orifice 320 passes vertically through each element 310 at each of its two ends, in the horizontal loading position of the pallet, to allow its attachment with a spacer.
  • These elements 310 constituting the floor and the sole, are preferably made of a recycled plastic material.
  • This material is rot-proof, which no longer imposes the wood treatment or drying known pallets of the prior art. Moreover, this material is competitive with wood whose price tends to increase.
  • the manufacture of these elements in other materials is however not excluded, for example wood, wood chipboard, composite materials.
  • the spacer 200 has, viewed from the side, a geometry in C defined by an intermediate plate 210, extended respectively at its two ends and perpendicularly, by two walls 220, 230, one 220 said high and the other 230 called low, turned in the same direction and parallel to each other.
  • the upper walls 220 and lower 230 are traversed by at least one hole 222, 232.
  • the upper wall 220 is intended to be fixed, via an angled profile 500, and at least one fastening means R, with a floor element 310 300.
  • the spacer 200 is fixed under said floor element, as shown on the Fig. 5 .
  • the lower wall 230 is intended to be secured by means of at least one other fastening means R, with a member 310 of the sole 400.
  • the lower wall 230 of the spacer 200 is fixed under said element sole, as shown on the Fig. 5 .
  • the spacer 200 is preferably made of metal by a stamping process.
  • the thickness of its walls is practically constant.
  • the fastening element is a commercial rivet which is identified on the Fig. 5 under the reference R. It can still take the form of a conventional bolt or a bolt whose nut is riveted.
  • the angled section 500 which is presented on the Fig. 4 , is provided to connect by one of their side edges, a series of elements for forming the floor of the pallet.
  • the bearing wall 510 serves to take the loads exerted on the floor to distribute them on the spacers.
  • the edge wall 520 provides a lateral wedging of the floor elements and protects their end edges. Holes 512 pass through the bearing wall 510 to fix the angled profile 500 with the elements of the sole.
  • the angled section 500 is preferably made of metal by a stamping process.
  • each hole 232 is formed through a boss 233 formed on said lower wall 230 and which is turned towards the inside of the spacer.
  • each projection can take place in a countersink 322 digging the groove 330 at the outlet of the orifice 320 so that the projecting portion of the fixing means can be housed inside the boss.
  • a second countersink 324 hollow on the other side the element 310, that is to say in its upper face 304 to receive the projecting portion of a fastening element so that this projecting part can be entirely housed in this second counterbore, to prevent the fastener does deteriorate the goods stored on the pallet floor or during its transfer on said pallet.
  • This montage is visible on the Fig. 5 of the palette presented in section.
  • the holes 512 pass through bosses 513 formed in the bearing wall 510. These bosses 513 can take place, with reference to the Fig. 2 in the counterbores 322 of the elements 310 constituting the floor to facilitate the positioning of the angled profile with its floor elements during the construction of the pallet.
  • the manufacture of a pallet 100 of the invention is carried out as follows.
  • the sole 400 is prepared by assembling elements 310 with spacers 200, that is to say by placing their lower walls 230 in the corresponding grooves 330 and joining these components by rivets R, two in number by assembly on the Fig. 1 .
  • the intermediate element 310i forms, with its two spacers, an intermediate support for the floor 300. Is then deposited on the ground, the assembled components of the sole 400 spacing them parallel and two brackets 500 are respectively placed on the top walls 220 of the two rows of spacers 200. All that remains is to rivet elements 310 to build the floor 300 and complete the manufacture of the pallet 100.
  • the elements 310 are riveted directly on the upper walls 220 of the spacers 200 or, where appropriate, on said upper walls 220 sandwiching the bearing walls 510 of the profiles 500.
  • the number of elements 310 constituting the floor 300 is preferably odd so that with an odd number of sole members 310, all members 310 of the floor 300 are mounted in the same manner.
  • the mass of the goods may be deposited on the floor 300 of the pallet 100 is taken up by the angled sections 500 which rest on the spacers 200, to be carried on the sole 400 when the pallet rests on the ground.
  • the palette is of the "four-way" type because it is grippable from all four sides.
  • Another aspect of the invention is to allow the coupling of two pallets to avoid the use of a pallet mother for handling. This coupling mainly concerns small pallets.
  • two pallets 100a and 100b have been arranged juxtaposed by having placed back to back the intermediate plates 210 of two rows of struts 200 arranged vis-à-vis.
  • these intermediate plates for example by bolting, by welding, we obtain an extended pallet 100 'whose floor area is doubled.
  • These assembly means constitute means for fixing the two juxtaposed pallets.
  • the pallet 100 shown is provided with other fastening means designed to couple two juxtaposed pallets to one another. These fixing means are integral with spacers 200 'modified.
  • each spacer 200 ' is provided with a counter-wall 240 arranged at a small distance behind the intermediate plate 210 so as to define a gap in which a spacer 200' of another juxtaposed pallet can be retained by insertion, thus forming a part of the fastening means of the two juxtaposed pallets.
  • the two pallets assembled in this way can not be discarded.
  • the width of the gap is barely greater than the thickness of the constituent plates of the spacer 200 '.
  • This against-wall 240 has an angular geometry defined by an anti-spacing plate 242 extended perpendicularly by a stop wall 244 intended to cooperate with a spacer 200 'of another pallet juxtaposed to form a stop, in the longitudinal direction, for the two pallets assemblies.
  • the intermediate plate 210 is extended perpendicularly to an edge, a fixing wall 211 on which is fixed, for example by welding, the abutment wall 244 of the counter- wall 240.
  • the abutment wall 244 is welded directly to the intermediate plate which is then devoid of fixing walls 211. This abutment completes the fastening means of the two juxtaposed pallets.
  • This against-wall 240 is less than the distance between the two rows of elements respectively constituting the floor and the sole of the pallet, at the end of its manufacture.
  • fastening means 210, 210 '; 242 are arranged between the two rows of the elements 310.
  • the elements 310 can thus be brought into contact directly by the intermediate plates 210, 210 'of the spacers 200'.
  • the elements 310 of the floor are also joined via the edge walls 520 of the two angled profiles 500.
  • the load arrow of the extended pallet 100 ' is reduced because of the spacing of the contact points and the wear in time also reduced because of the metallic nature contact areas.
  • the elements 310 of the floor 300 are laterally offset elements 310 of the sole 400.
  • the spacer plates 242 of the spacers of the same edge of a pallet 100b are, by this construction, locked vertically, by placing in abutment against the bearing wall 510 of an angled section of the other pallet 100a. This stop completes the fixing means of the two pallets.
  • the pallet of the invention avoids that the goods it is to bear can not be damaged by elements protruding from its floor, since the fastening means, retaining these components are removed from the upper face of the floor.
