Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a transport, storage, and display system based on a folding unit optimizing the storage and handling of said unit when it is not in use.
  • This invention is comprised within the sector for product distribution and sale in general, through both wholesale and retail channels, where the use thereof is possible in intermediate, auxiliary, or primary warehouses, as well as in product display for sales in commercial buildings, industrial buildings, etc., as well as in outdoor areas (markets, outlets, fairs, etc.).
  • the folding units existing today are made with four complete sides, which hinders their stacked storage and display, where it is necessary to remove the top level to access the lower level.
  • the folding units have cutouts on one of the front sides to make it easier for either the operator or the end consumer to remove the product from the unit.
  • the display surface is still limited, and the mechanical strength of the folding unit is furthermore compromised when it is used for transport and display.
  • the transport, storage, and display system is characterized in that it comprises at least one folding unit with one side completely open, the assembly being stiffened through at least one stiffening element located in the upper part of the folding unit once said unit has been unfolded.
  • Said completely open side will be used by logistics operators for placing and/or removing products in and/or from said folding unit and by the end customer for removing the product when the system is used in the display area.
  • the at least one stiffener is secured on one or more of the side walls of the unit by means of a clamping system incorporated in the stiffening element itself or, alternatively, on the side or sides of the folding unit.
  • the at least one stiffener is manufactured with the same material as the side walls of the folding unit, which optimizes production and allows manufacturing costs to be reduced.
  • the side walls of the folding unit of the transport, storage, and display system comprise two or more handles in the upper part of the side walls for facilitating manual operations for moving said units.
  • the base of the folding unit optionally has at least two raised sides to allow the folded units, when supported on one another, to be aligned one on top of the other so as to prevent undesired movements.
  • the stiffener of the folding unit of the transport, storage, and display system comprises at least one gap which facilitates placing and/or removing products in and/or from said folding unit by logistics operators.
  • the folding unit of the transport, storage, and display system comprises two or more stiffeners defining between same at least one gap which facilitates placing and/or removing products in and/or from said folding unit by logistics operators.
  • the at least one stiffener and the side walls of the folding unit of the transport, storage, and display system are housed entirely within the base of said unit once they have been folded for the purpose of facilitating the operations of stacking and transporting folded units.
  • the folding is manufactured with either a solid body or with a body made lighter by means of openings.
  • the manufacture is performed with at least one thermoplastic material by means of rotational molding, heat-forming, or injection processes for plastics using virgin or recycled polymers, and being 100% recyclable. Additionally, the manufacturing material may contain a mixture of filler, such as wood fibers, wood chips, textile fibers, and other fiber material and plastic material.
  • thermoplastic material and the manufacturing techniques allow the folding unit to present resistance to corrosion, aging, UV rays, and impacts.
  • the at least one folding unit of the transport, storage, and display system is positioned on the ground or a static support or platform.
  • the at least one folding unit of the transport, storage, and display system is positioned on a base having wheels allowing movement both in the warehouse and in the display area.
  • the at least one folding unit of the transport, storage, and display system may incorporate horizontal spacers, vertical spacers, or both in a combined manner, such that different transport and display areas are created in the folding unit.
  • the folding unit of the transport, storage, and display system comprises a specific labeling area adapted for receiving a label, with protection means for the label.
  • the labels arranged on said specific labeling area allow the traceability of the products contained in the folding unit of the transport, storage, and display system object of the invention to be shown.
  • the protection means of the specific labeling area have as an advantage the fact that the labels are protected and contact with the consumer is prevented.
  • transport, storage, and display system allow it to be used in intermediate, auxiliary, or primary warehouses, as well as in product display for sales in commercial buildings, industrial buildings, etc., as well as in outdoor areas (markets, outlets, fairs, etc.).
  • Figure 1 depicts a transport, storage, and display system 1 according to a first embodiment, based on a folding unit 2 arranged on the ground, static support, or platform and on which other folding units 2 are vertically stacked up to a working/display height considered suitable. Likewise, other folding units 2 are positioned adjacently such that the side of the folding unit 2 that is completely open is accessible at all times.
  • the folding unit 2 incorporates a stiffener 4 secured in a folding manner to the sides 3 of the folding unit 2.
  • Said folding unit 2 likewise has two gaps 6 which facilitates placing and/or removing the products in and/or from said folding unit.
  • the folding unit 2 of the transport, storage, and display system 1 incorporates protection means 10 for the label 11.
  • the clamping system comprises clamping tabs 7 and positioning guides 8 for securing the stiffener 4 to the side walls 3 of the folding unit 2.
  • the side walls 3 likewise incorporate handles 9.
  • Figures 3a , b, c show the process of folding the folding unit 2 of the transport, storage, and display system 1 according to the first embodiment according to the invention, such that the stiffener 4 and the sides 3 are housed entirely within the base 5 once they have been folded for the purpose of facilitating the operations of stacking and transporting the folded units.
  • Figure 4a depicts a transport, storage, and display system 1 according to a variant of the first embodiment, based on a folding unit 2 in which the horizontal spacers 12 and vertical spacers 13 connected to one another through the clamping system 14 are shown. Horizontal spacers 12 and vertical spacers 13 arranged inside the folding unit 2 are observed in Figure 4b . As deduced from the figures, the number of both horizontal and vertical spacers may be variable.
  • Figure 5a shows bases 15 with wheels 16 allowing movement both in the warehouse and in the display area of the folding unit.
  • the bases 15 have a rotating star-shaped coupling mechanism 17 for coupling said bases.
  • Said bases 15 are provided with a central hole 18 which allows the material to be made lightweight without compromising the mechanical strength thereof.
  • the base 5 of the folding unit 2 is optionally aligned on the base 15 due to the complementary shape of the upper part of the base 15 and the lower shape of the folding unit 2, as observed in Figure 5a .
  • Figure 6 depicts a transport, storage, and display system 101 according to a second embodiment, based on a folding unit 102 arranged on the ground, static support, or platform and on which other folding units 102 are vertically stacked up to a working/display height considered suitable. Likewise, other folding units 102 are positioned adjacently such that the side of the folding unit 102 that is completely open is accessible at all times.
  • the folding unit 102 incorporates two stiffeners 4 secured in a collapsible manner to the sides 103 of the folding unit 102.
  • Said folding unit 102 likewise has a gap 6 defined between the stiffeners 104 which facilitates placing and/or removing the products in and/or from said folding unit.
