Definitions

  • the invention relates to a foot for a pallet.
  • pallets are made up of a flat surface, on which the goods are placed, below which there are feet which are appropriately spaced to allow the forks of operating equipment, such as fork-lift trucks or pallet trucks, to occupy the spaces between the feet and to favour pallet handling.
  • pallets were exclusively wood: today, although wood is still the most used material, there are also pallets made of plastic, metal and even cardboard.
  • the feet made with an alveolar structure are not very good at withstanding sliding on roller conveyors and therefore they deform easily.
  • the resistance of the alveolar structure is unable to withstand the tension applied to the strap without deforming, therefore the strap will have to interact with the foot at non-deformable portions of the latter.
  • the aim of this invention is therefore to eliminate the above-mentioned disadvantages.
  • the main advantage obtained by means of this invention is basically the fact that there is a considerable increase in the resistance to impacts caused by the forks of operating equipment, but without a reduction in the capacity for supporting the heavy weights of the goods to be transported.
  • the invention relates to a foot for a pallet, comprising an alveolar central body (1), formed by a "cellular" structure with cells having linear dimensions preferably in the range of from 8 to 30 millimetres, and lateral walls (2), made up of at least one layer (2a) of corrugated cardboard, which are suitable for supporting the weight of the goods.
  • the lateral walls (2) have a plurality of layers (2a) of corrugated cardboard, usually not more than three.
  • the resistance to compression of the alveolar structure of which the central body (1) of the foot (10) is composed is exploited to withstand horizontal impacts mainly caused by the forks of fork-lift trucks and pallet trucks.
  • the foot (10) has gluing lines (3) which give it good resistance even in a transversal direction.
  • the foot (10) comprises a protector (20) which prevents it from deforming even in the case of strapping.
  • the protector (20) comprises a block (11) composed of a plurality of sheets (11a) of paper which are glued to each other, the block being suitable for application to at least one end face (10a) of the foot (10) which will have to make contact with a packaging strap.
  • the sheets (11a) of which the block (11) is composed shown in Figures 4 , 5 and 6 , may be glued along strips (11b), in such a way as to form a "cellular" alveolar structure, as in Figures 4 and 5 , or even completely at the surfaces facing each other, as in Figure 6 .
  • Figures 7 and 8 show the protector (20) applied respectively to one and two end faces of the foot (10).
  • the protector (20) may also be provided with an angular portion (12) made of pressed paperboard, to an inner face (12a) of which the block (11) described above is constrained.
  • the angular portion (12) may adopt an "L" shape, as shown in Figure 9 , or a "U” shape, as shown in Figure 10 .
