Description

Wooden pallet.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

The following Utility Model, as expressed in the statement of the present specification, refers to a wooden pallet, being of the type of pallets used in the loading, transport and storage of a wide variety of products and which are handled by means of handling equipment, so that by means of the pallet object of the invention it is possible to reuse those broken or damaged wood for the conformation of the separating blocks of the base of support on the ground and the load base.

Thus, the essential object of manufacturing “blocks” for pallets from broken or damaged wood from other pallets already used represents an important economic advantage, since it allows the reuse of wood that, conventionally, is discarded, a process that, in addition, It carries an economic cost.

SCOPE.

This paper describes a wooden pallet, which is applicable in all types of industries for loading, transporting and storing a wide variety of products.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

As is known, the pallets have been used, for a long time, in a majority way for the palletized transport of a wide variety of products, so that said pallets are handled by means of handling equipment, so that their manufacturing structure, Normally normalized, it should facilitate handling by such means.

Thus, regarding the different types of pallets that have been manufactured, we can consider those that are made of wood and that their structure is based on support base boards and load base boards separated by wooden blocks and that They are fixed by nails.

These pallets, in their manipulation, suffer blows and a little delicate use so they have a very short shelf life, so that, although with some deterioration, they can have reusable parts, in the case of wood, as happens very often , if they break or splinter, they cannot be reused for what they are intended for destruction. This means that they have to be transported to the place of chopping, which entails their corresponding cost. That is, in addition to not being able to be reused, the cost of transport and chopping must be paid.

In order to make the use of pallets profitable, we have tried to make improvements to them, as well as manufacture them in materials other than wood, and, in this way, we can consider documents ES 1 005 844 and ES 1 037 282 in which perfected wooden pallets are described, so that in the document ES 1 005 844 it is a question that the spacer boards fit into recesses of the lower base planks and in the document ES 1 037 282 it is that the spacer stringers have male guides in which the upper crossbars fitted with complementary female guides fit.

On the other hand, in the documents ES 2 284 589 and ES 2 245 156 two cardboard pallets are described, so that in the document and ES 2 245 156 a pallet consisting of a uniform loading plate and a support plate is described provided with windows being said plates separated by tubular cardboard separators fixed by gluing, while in document ES 2 284 589 a cardboard pallet consisting of a pair of superimposed sheets provided with a series of holes and associated with the support legs and a third cover sheet.

Likewise, we can consider document ES 2 152 321 which describes a pallet provided with a sheet of honeycomb mounted on three beams of general "U" section between whose wings are arranged three separating blocks, also, of nest of bee.

Finally, we can consider documents ES 1 050 451, ES 1 068 140 and ES 1 072 672 in which two plastic pallets are described.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

In this report a wooden pallet is described, being of the type of pallets used in the loading, transport and storage of a great diversity of products and which are handled by means of handling equipment, and whose pallets made of wood are made up of a series of supporting base woods and a series of loading base woods, which are separated by a plurality of wooden blocks, so that the separating blocks are defined by a series of small stacked boards fixed by nailing to a Bottom support base wood and top load base woods.

In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the spacer blocks are defined by four small slats stacked and fixed by nailing the wood of the support base on the ground and the wood of the loading base on which the product is placed.

The small shaping boards of the separating blocks are obtained in block from discarded wood, which provides a very important advantage, since, it allows to take advantage of those wood used to form pallets that have already suffered some deterioration or breakage, so that in Instead of being discarded for chopping, they are reused.

The conformation of the separating blocks of the wood that define the lower and upper base of the pallets from broken or damaged wood already used in other pallets represents an important economic saving, since, on the one hand the cost of transport is avoided and chopped wood that is conventionally discarded and on the other hand its reuse is allowed in new pallets, that is, obtaining an economic yield.

Thus, taking into account the large number of broken or damaged wood that can be reused when cut into small slats and forming the plurality of pallet spacer blocks, economic savings, even more over time, becomes really important.

Likewise, the reuse of these broken or damaged wood also represents an environmental improvement.

To complement the description that is going to be carried out below, and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, this descriptive report is accompanied by a set of drawings, whose figures are illustrative and not limiting , the most characteristic details of the invention are represented.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DESIGNS.

Figure 1. It shows a perspective view of a pallet object of the invention, being able to observe how the separating blocks of the support base and the loading base are defined by a series of small wooden slats.

Figure 2. Shows a detailed view of a separator block defined by a series of small wooden slats.

DESCRIPTION OF A PREFERRED EMBODIMENT.

In view of the aforementioned figures and in accordance with the numbering adopted we can observe how the separating blocks 2 of the pallet 1, object of the invention, are defined by a series of small slats 3 obtained from broken or damaged wood forming other pallets already used.

In Figure 1 of the designs we can see a wooden pallet that, starting from a conventional type pallet, is made up of a series of supporting base woods 4 and a series of loading base woods 5, which are separated by the corresponding plugs, so that the improvements introduced refer to the conformation of the plurality of spacer plugs 2 by a series of small slats 3 obtained from broken or damaged wood forming other pallets already used and whose small slats are fixed, in first, to the corresponding support base wood 4 by a pair of nails, as conventional studs are fixed.

The subsequent fixing to the woods of the loading base 5 is also carried out by means of a pair of nails, so that the means of fixing the plurality of studs will be carried out in the same way as is conventionally carried out by that there is no increase in cost.

The number of small slats that make up the spacer blocks 2 may be variable and in a preferred embodiment of the invention they will be made up of four slats.

Thus, those broken or damaged woods of used pallets instead of being destined for their chopping with the cost that this, in addition, represents, can be reused for the formation of separating blocks

2.

This is due to the fact that with those used pallets that have suffered some deterioration or breakage, it is a question of taking advantage of them for the conformation of new pallets even at cheaper prices than the new ones in order to optimize the investment made in them. Thus, it is usually very common for used pallets to have wood, both from the support base and from the load base that are broken and that cannot normally be used in the manufacture of other pallets because they do not have the appropriate measures.

The object of the invention is that those broken woods that have a shorter length and are not valid for forming pallets can be cut into small slats and used as separating blocks.

In short, by executing the separator blocks 2 in the manner described, significant economic savings are obtained and, in addition, there is a lower impact on the environment.
