Abstract

The pallet (1) comprises a pallet surface (2), receiving the loading goods, a pallet stand surface (base surface) (30, 40), and support elements (3, 4) which space said stand surfaces apart and between which at least one loading channel is arranged in at least one of the two main dimensions of the rectangle for engagement on loading bars of floor conveyors. In order to provide an inexpensive small pallet of this type which guarantees secure transportation with the aid of floor conveyors (lifting trucks, fork lift trucks) despite the reduced dimensions, the centre line (L) of the loading channel (5) is offset relative to the parallel centre line (M) of the pallet surface and, along the free edge of the half of the pallet surface facing away from the centre line of the channel, a lateral, free flange or web (6) is provided, under which a loading bar can grip from the stand surface and which extends beyond the lateral boundary (31) of the support element. <IMAGE>

Description

Die Erfindung betrifft eine unterfahrbare Transportpalette mit im wesentlichen rechteckigem Grundriß aus in Zu­schnittform bereitgestelltem, faltbarem Material wie Wellpappe, mit einer Ladegut aufnehmenden Paletten-Ober­fläche, mit einer Paletten-Aufstandsfläche (Unterfläche) und mit Ober- und Aufstandsfläche zueinander beabstan­denden Tragelementen, zwischen denen in wenigstens einer der beiden Hauptdimensionen des Rechtecks mindestens eine Laderinne zum Eingreifen von Ladeholmen von Flur­fördergeräten angeordnet ist.The invention relates to a wheelchair-accessible transport pallet with an essentially rectangular plan made of foldable material, such as corrugated cardboard, provided in a cut-out form, with a pallet surface receiving a load, with a pallet contact surface (bottom surface) and with top and contact surface spacing-apart supporting elements, between which in at least one of the two main dimensions of the rectangle is arranged at least one loading trough for engaging loading spars of industrial trucks.

Für unterfahrbare Transportpaletten der beschriebenen Art aus Wellpappe oder ähnlichem faltbarem Material, bei denen die Oberfläche wie bei herkömmlichen Paletten aus Holz, Preßstoff od. dgl. mit Transportgut beladen wird, werden heute in aller Regel zwei rechteckförmige Mate­rialzuschnitte verwandt. Bei einem bekannten Gegenstand dieses Typs (DE-OS 34 42 439) sind je ein die Paletten-­Oberfläche und ein eine Tragholmkonstruktion bestimmender Zuschnitt vorgesehen, die einander hinsichtlich ihrer Faltung und Stützmaßnahmen so zugeordnet sind, daß sich eine hoch-tragfähige Wellpappe-Transportpalette ergibt. Solche Paletten sind insbesondere als stabile, preiswerte Einweg-Paletten mit Euro-Palettenmaß (800 x 1 200 mm) geeignet. Allerdings ist ihre Konstruktion dann, wenn lediglich kleinere Paletten mit 1/2-Euromaß (600 x 800mm) oder 1/4-Euromaß (400 x 600 mm) verlangt werden, in aller Regel vom Material her zu aufwendig, zumal dann üblicher­weise auch nur geringere Festigkeiten erforderlich sind.For transport pallets of the type described, which are made of corrugated cardboard or similar foldable material and in which the surface is loaded with transport goods like conventional pallets made of wood, pressed material or the like, two rectangular material cuts are generally used today. In a known object of this type (DE-OS 34 42 439), a pallet surface and a blank defining a supporting beam construction are provided, which are assigned to one another with regard to their folding and supporting measures so that a highly loadable corrugated transport pallet results . Such pallets are particularly suitable as stable, inexpensive one-way pallets with Euro pallet dimensions (800 x 1 200 mm). However, their construction is when only smaller pallets with 1/2-euro dimensions (600 x 800mm) or 1/4-euro dimensions (400 x 600 mm) are required, usually too expensive in terms of the material, especially since less strength is then usually required.

Für kleinere Abmessungen ist eine aus einem rechteckigen einstückigen Zuschnitt aus Pappe, gewellter Faserplatte oder gleichwertigem Material hergestellte Palette bekannt geworden (DE-OS 14 81 413). Diese dient jedoch allein als Umhüllung für von der Palette aufzunehmendes Transportgut und weist zwischen zwei seitlichen Tragstegen eine breite Rinne mit einem flachen, horizontalen rechteckigen Boden und einer parallel dazu angeordneten Tragfläche auf. Diese Rinne, die nach zwei Seiten offen ist, kann - entweder nach Hochklappen der die Oberfläche bildenden Platte oder durch Einschieben von den offenen Seiten her - mit Transportgut befüllt werden. Zum Zwecke einer festen Anlage der Oberplatte und ihrer sicheren Befestigung an den seitlichen Tragstegen ist an beiden je eine seitliche Ansatzfläche angeordnet. Der Boden bildet die Aufstands­fläche der Palette. Das Transportgut ist bei dieser Palette also, bis auf die offenen Seiten, vollständig von dem Palettenmaterial umhüllt. Somit ist das Trans­portvolumen der bekannten Palette auf den Raum der Rinne beschränkt. Ein Beladen der Palette von der Ober­fläche her ist nicht beabsichtigt; hierzu weist dieser Gegenstand keine genügende Festigkeit bzw. Tragfähigkeit auf. Auch ist ein Unterfahren der Palette mit einem Flurförderer weder beabsichtigt noch in sinnvoller Weise denkbar, da dann einerseits das Breitenmaß der Rinne, wollte man mit den Gabeln oder Ladeholmen eines Flurför­derers die seitlichen Tragstege untergreifen, dem Abstand zwischen den Ladeholmen entsprechen müßte und damit die Palette in ihrer Aufnahmekapazität beschränkt wäre, andererseits aber die seitlichen Ansatzflächen trotz der Doppellagigkeit des Materials nicht ausreichen, das gesamte Ladegewicht der Palette zwischen sich aufzu­ nehmen. Ein Beladen der Oberfläche der bekannten Palette ist nicht beabsichtigt; hierfür ist die breite, unge­stützte Oberplatte nicht geeignet. Dieser bekannte Gegenstand ist somit auf den Zweck einer Einweg-Umhül­lungspalette, also praktisch auf einen stapelbaren trogförmigen Kasten, beschränkt.For smaller dimensions, a pallet made from a rectangular one-piece blank made of cardboard, corrugated fiberboard or equivalent material has become known (DE-OS 14 81 413). However, this serves solely as a covering for the goods to be picked up from the pallet and has a wide channel with a flat, horizontal rectangular bottom and a wing arranged parallel to it between two lateral supporting bars. This channel, which is open on two sides, can be filled with transport goods - either by folding up the plate that forms the surface or by pushing it in from the open sides. For the purpose of a firm abutment of the top plate and its secure attachment to the lateral supporting webs, a lateral attachment surface is arranged on each. The floor forms the footprint of the pallet. With this pallet, the goods to be transported are completely encased in the pallet material, except for the open sides. The transport volume of the known pallet is thus limited to the space of the channel. Loading the pallet from the surface is not intended; this object does not have sufficient strength or load-bearing capacity. Underneath the pallet with a floor conveyor is neither intended nor sensible, because then, on the one hand, the width of the trough, if you wanted to reach under the side support bars with the forks or loading spars of a floor conveyor, would have to correspond to the distance between the loading spars and thus the pallet would be limited in its absorption capacity, but on the other hand the lateral attachment surfaces, despite the double layer of the material, would not be sufficient to lift the entire loading weight of the pallet between them to take. Loading the surface of the known pallet is not intended; the wide, unsupported top plate is not suitable for this. This known object is thus restricted to the purpose of a disposable wrapping pallet, that is to say practically to a stackable trough-shaped box.

Der Erfindung liegt - insbesondere gegenüber dem beschrie­benen Stand der Technik - die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine unterfahrbare Transportpalette der eingangs beschriebenen Art zu schaffen, die speziell als Kleinpalette (1/4 oder 1/2-Euro-Palettengröße), bevorzugt im Einweg-Gebrauch, einsetzbar und dementsprechend von Material und Herstel­lung her preiswert ist, zugleich aber vor allem ein sicheres Transportieren mit Hilfe von Flurfördergeräten (Hubwagen, Gabelstaplern) trotz der verkleinerten Abmes­sungen gewährleistet.The object of the invention - in particular in relation to the prior art described - is to provide a transport pallet which can be driven under and of the type described at the outset, which is specifically designed as a small pallet (1/4 or 1/2 euro pallet size), preferably in one-way use, can be used and is accordingly inexpensive in terms of material and manufacture, but at the same time, above all, it ensures safe transport with the aid of industrial trucks (pallet trucks, forklifts) despite the reduced dimensions.

Diese Aufgabe wird nach der Erfindung dadurch gelöst, daß die Mittellinie der Laderinne zu der zu ihr paralle­len Mittellinie der Paletten-Oberfläche versetzt ist und daß entlang des freien Randes der der Rinnen-Mittel­linie abgekehrten Hälfte der Paletten-Oberfläche ein seitlicher freier, von der Aufstandsfläche her von einem Ladeholm untergreifarer Flansch oder Steg vorgesehen ist, der sich über die seitliche Tragelement-Begrenzung hinaus erstreckt. Damit erreicht man in einfacher und sinnvoller Weise eine Verlagerung des Lastschwerpunktes der Palette bei gleichmäßiger Beladung derselben der­art, daß sich dieser Lastschwerpunkt zwischen den Lade­holmen oder Gabeln des Flurförderers befindet. Die Breite der Laderinne ist naturgemäß so gewählt, daß sie bequem einen Ladeholm eines Hubwagens mit genügen­dem Spiel, aber unter leichter seitlicher Zentrierungs­möglichkeit aufnehmen kann, während der von dem zwei­ten Ladeholm zu untergreifende Steg sich in einem ent­ sprechenden Abstand dazu befindet. Um diese Art der leichten Zentrierung besonders einfach zu erreichen und damit zu gewährleisten, daß einerseits im schnellen, wenig sorgfältigen Transport- und Ladebetrieb keine unnötigen Beschädigungen entstehen und andererseits keine zu große Sorgfalt und Genauigkeit beim Einführen der Flurförderer erforderlich ist, wird man zweckmäßigerweise die Breite des Tragelementes auf der Seite des Steges ent­sprechend den heute genormten Abständen zwischen den Ladeholmen von Hubwagen vorsehen, während bei Gabelstap­lern ohnehin üblicherweise der Abstand zwischen den gegenüber Hubwagen schmaleren Ladeholmen veränderbar ist und damit auf das entsprechende Breitenmaß des Tragelements eingestellt werden kann.This object is achieved according to the invention in that the center line of the loading channel is offset from the center line of the pallet surface parallel to it and that along the free edge of the half of the pallet surface facing away from the center line of the channel there is a free side away from the contact surface forth from a loading spar is provided under a flange or web that extends beyond the lateral support element boundary. This results in a simple and sensible shifting of the center of gravity of the pallet with even loading of the pallet in such a way that this center of gravity is located between the loading spars or forks of the floor conveyor. The width of the loading channel is naturally chosen so that it can comfortably accommodate a loading spar of a lifting truck with sufficient play, but with a slight lateral centering possibility, while the web to be gripped by the second loading spar is ent speaking distance from it. In order to achieve this type of easy centering in a particularly simple manner and thus to ensure that, on the one hand, no unnecessary damage occurs in the fast, less careful transport and loading operation and, on the other hand, no great care and accuracy is required when inserting the industrial trucks, the width is expediently used of the support element on the side of the web in accordance with the currently standardized distances between the loading spars of pallet trucks, while forklifts usually the distance between the narrower loading spars compared to pallet trucks is variable and can thus be adjusted to the corresponding width dimension of the supporting element.

In Besonders vorteilhafter Ausbildung der Erfindung kann die Transportpalette aus einem einstückigen Zu­schnitt aufgefaltet sein. Dieser wird im wesentlichen rechteckig sein, wodurch sich in der Herstellung eine optimale Flächenausnutzung durch praktisch fehlenden Verschnitt ergibt, indem maximaler Nutzen aus der lau­fenden Wellpappebahn gezogen werden kann und die Außen­abmessungen des Zuschnitts den Außenkanten der aufgefal­teten Palette entsprechen.In a particularly advantageous embodiment of the invention, the transport pallet can be unfolded from a one-piece blank. This will be essentially rectangular, which results in an optimal use of space in the production due to practically no waste, by making maximum use of the running corrugated cardboard web and the outer dimensions of the blank correspond to the outer edges of the unfolded pallet.

Vorzugsweise erstrecken sich die Tragelemente im wesent­lichen parallel zu der Rinnen-Mittellinie, und sie sind als hohlkörperartige Tragholme ausgebildet. Das ergibt auf der einen Seite eine Palette mit klaren Begrenzun­gen und auf der anderen eine hohe Steifigkeit sowie Sicherheit in der Unterfahrbarkeit.The support elements preferably extend essentially parallel to the channel center line, and they are designed as hollow-body-like support bars. This results in a pallet with clear boundaries on the one hand and a high level of rigidity and safety under the vehicle on the other.

Um die bereits erwähnte präzise Lagerung der Palette auf den Tragholmen eines Flurförderers mit den angege­benen Schwerpunktsverhältnissen bei gleichmäßig bela­dener Palette zu gewährleisten, können die Tragelemente zur den Gewichtsschwerpunkt beinhaltenden Mittellinie der Paletten-Oberfläche asymmetrisch derart angeordnet sein, daß ein erster Tragholm um das Breitenmaß des seitlichen Überstandes nach innen versetzt ist und ein gegenüber dem ersten schmalerer zweiter Tragholm parallel dazu die gegenüberliegende seitliche Palettenbegrenzung bildet.In order to ensure the already mentioned precise storage of the pallet on the support bars of an industrial truck with the specified center of gravity with an evenly loaded pallet, the support elements can be used be arranged asymmetrically to the center line of the pallet surface containing the center of gravity in such a way that a first support beam is offset inwards by the width dimension of the lateral projection and a parallel, opposite to the first, narrower support beam forms the opposite side pallet boundary.

Durch entsprechende Auffaltung ist die Laderinne vor­zugsweise in Richtung der Aufstandsfläche offen, während in ihrem oberflächenseitigen Bereich das Zuschnittmate­rial doppelschichtig miteinander verbindbar ist. Damit ergibt sich ein einfaches Unterfahren mit Flurförderern ohne die Gefahr eines Anstoßens gegen einen die Rinne nach unten begrenzenden Materialsteg, was gerade bei den häufig nur geringen Kleinpaletten-Ladegewichten vorteilhaft ist, indem so die Palette durch anstoßende Ladeholme nicht weggeschoben werden kann. Außerdem wird durch die Doppelschichtigkeit der Rinnendecke, also in dem vertikal nicht durch die Tragelemente oder -holme gestützten Rinnenbereich, die Tragfähigkeit der Palette insgesamt maßgeblich erhöht.By means of appropriate unfolding, the loading channel is preferably open in the direction of the footprint, while the cut material can be connected to one another in a double layer in its surface-side region. This results in a simple underride with floor conveyors without the risk of bumping into a material web that delimits the channel downwards, which is particularly advantageous in the case of the often only small pallet loading weights, in that the pallet cannot be pushed away by bumping uprights. In addition, the overall load-bearing capacity of the pallet is significantly increased by the double-layer structure of the channel ceiling, i.e. in the channel area not supported vertically by the support elements or bars.

Eine weitere Verbesserung und Erhöhung der Belastbar­keit der Palette ist dadurch erreichbar, daß die Trag­elemente bzw. -holme quaderförmig ausgebildet sein und die Rinne die Form eines nach unten offenen U haben können. Auf diese Weise läßt sich auch vorteilhaft der dem Steg gegenüberliegende Palettenrand durch die verti­kale Tragelement-Wand bilden, so daß hier eine eindeutige, geschlossene Begrenzung der Palette vorhanden ist.A further improvement and increase in the load capacity of the pallet can be achieved in that the supporting elements or spars are cuboid and the channel can have the shape of a U which is open at the bottom. In this way, the edge of the pallet opposite the web can also advantageously be formed by the vertical support element wall, so that there is a clear, closed boundary of the pallet.

Es ist weiterhin möglich, die erfindungsgemäße Transport­palette aus zwei Zuschnitteilen auszubilden, indem vor­teilhaft die Tragelemente als mindestens zwei holmarti­ge Träger mit zu der Laderinnen-Mittellinie senkrechtem Verlauf ausgebildet sind, wobei sie von der Laderinne durchbrochen sind und zwischen sich mindestens eine zweite, parallel zur zweiten Palettenhauptachse koaxial verlaufende Laderinne ausbilden derart, daß in der Hälfte der versetzten Rinnen-Mittellinie schmalere und in der anderen Hälfte breitere quaderförmige Füße ge­bildet sind und sich auf der Seite der breiteren Füße der freie Flansch oder Steg befindet. Eine solche Palet­te ist zwar im Vergleich zu der aus einem einstückigen Zuschnitt gebildeten vom Material her aufwendiger, ergibt jedoch eine höhere Tragfähigkeit und damit die Möglichkeit des Einsatzes bei hohen Transportgewichten für Klein­paletten, wobei vorzugsweise die beiden Zuschnitteile mit normal zueinander verlaufender Wellenrichtung ange­ordnet werden und das Material im Bereich der zweiten Laderinne und entlang der Außenwände senkrecht zu der versetzten Laderinne doppelschichtig vorgesehen ist.It is also possible to design the transport pallet according to the invention from two blank parts by advantageously carrying the support elements as at least two spar-like supports with a perpendicular to the loader centerline Course are formed, wherein they are broken through by the loading channel and between them form at least a second, parallel to the second main axis of the pallet coaxial loading channel in such a way that in half of the offset channel center line narrower and in the other half are cuboid feet and are formed the free flange or web is located on the side of the wider feet. Such a pallet is more expensive in terms of material compared to the one-piece blank, but results in a higher load-bearing capacity and thus the possibility of using it with high transport weights for small pallets, the two blank parts preferably being arranged with the shaft direction running normally to one another and that Material in the region of the second loading channel and along the outer walls perpendicular to the offset loading channel is provided in two layers.

Um bei der erfindungsgemäßen Palette die Festigkeit noch mehr zu steigern, können im Bereich der Tragele­mente aus der Oberfläche faltbar ausgestanzte, in das Tragelementinnere hineinklappbare und sich gegen die Aufstandsfläche der Tragelemente abstützende Stützlaschen vorgesehen sein. Vorzugsweise sind diese Stützlaschen im Tragelementinneren festsetzbar. Sie können in Breite und Höhe dem Innenquerschnitt der Tragelemente entspre­chen und in diesen kraftschlüssig festsetzbar sein. Zum Zwecke dieses leichten Festsetzens können die gegen die Bodenfläche der Tragelemente anliegenden Unterränder der Stützlaschen Riegelnasen zum Eingriff in entspre­chende Riegelschlitze in der Aufstandsfläche aufweisen.In order to increase the strength of the pallet according to the invention even more, support tabs can be provided in the area of the support elements which can be folded out of the surface, folded into the interior of the support element and supported against the contact surface of the support elements. These support tabs can preferably be fixed in the interior of the supporting element. They can correspond in width and height to the internal cross section of the support elements and can be non-positively fixed in them. For the purpose of this easy fixing, the lower edges of the support straps that bear against the bottom surface of the support elements can have locking lugs for engagement in corresponding locking slots in the contact surface.

Bei einer erfindungsgemäßen Transportpalette aus einem einstückigen Zuschnitt kann letzterer aus Wellpappe mit normal zu den Tragelementen bzw. Tragholmen ausge­richtetem Wellenverlauf bestehen, und die Stützlaschen können als Querstützen zu den Tragelementen ausgebil­det sein. Stehende Welle in vertikalen Wandelementen von Tragholmen ist an sich bekannt, aber in Verbindung mit den liegende Welle aufweisenden Querstützen der aus der Oberfläche herabklappbaren Arretierungslaschen ergibt sich eine maßgebliche Gesamt-Festigkeitserhöhung, indem die stehende Welle den Druck von oben her aufnimmt, während die Querstützen der Erhöhung der seitlichen Scherfestigkeit zugute kommt.In the case of a transport pallet according to the invention consisting of a one-piece blank, the latter can consist of corrugated cardboard with a corrugation course normal to the support elements or support bars, and the support tabs can be designed as cross supports to the support elements. A standing shaft in vertical wall elements of support spars is known per se, but in connection with the transverse supports, which have a lying shaft, of the locking tabs that can be folded down from the surface, there is a significant increase in overall strength by the standing shaft absorbing the pressure from above, while the transverse supports Increases the lateral shear strength benefits.

Zweckmäßigerweise können gerade im Hinblick auf die Erzielung hoher Tragfähigkeiten die erfindungsgemäßen Transportpaletten aus doppellagigem Wellpappematerial mit hoch-reißfester Deckschicht (Kraftliner) hergestellt, also aufgefaltet sein.Appropriately with a view to achieving high load capacities, the transport pallets according to the invention can be made from double-layer corrugated cardboard material with a highly tear-resistant cover layer (kraft liner), that is to say they can be unfolded.

Um eine gute Standfestigkeit und damit Tragfähigkeit der Paletten zu erzielen, können die Aufstandsflächen der Tragelemente mindestens 50 %, vorzugsweise etwa 60 % der Gesamtfläche der Palette betragen, wodurch sich zusätzlich noch eine hohe Scherfestigkeit ergibt.In order to achieve good stability and thus load-bearing capacity of the pallets, the contact surfaces of the support elements can amount to at least 50%, preferably approximately 60% of the total surface of the pallet, which additionally results in a high shear strength.

Natürlich ist es auch denkbar, statt Wellpappe anderes geeignetes, faltbares Material, z.B. in genügendem Maße tragfähige Pappe, für die Herstellung der erfindungs­gemäßen Paletten zu verwenden, wobei in diesem Falle die bei Weilpappe mit vorbestimmter Wellenrichtung erziel­baren Vorteile zumindest in gewissem Umfang dadurch er­zielbar sind, daß man den Hauptfaserverlauf des Papp­materials entsprechend ausrichtet.Of course, it is also conceivable to use other suitable, foldable material instead of corrugated cardboard, e.g. sufficiently strong cardboard to be used for the production of the pallets according to the invention, in which case the advantages which can be achieved with cardboard with a predetermined wave direction can be achieved at least to a certain extent by aligning the main fiber course of the cardboard material accordingly.

Die insgesamt mit der Erfindung erzielbaren Vorteile bestehen nach allem darin, daß gerade kleinere Paletten­formate preisgünstig zur Verfügung gestellt werden kön­nen, die mit üblichen Flurfördergeräten sicher gehoben und transportiert werden können, indem sich ihr Last­ schwerpunkt bei hinreichend gleichmäßiger Paletten­beladung zwischen den Gabeln bzw. Ladeholmen solcher Geräte bei Normalausführung befindet und der freie Pa­lettenrand durch die Stegausbildung sicher untergreif­bar und auf einem Ladeholm lagerbar ist, ohne daß die Gefahr besteht, daß die angehobene Palette über die andere Seite abkippt und herunterfällt.The overall achievable advantages of the invention are that smaller pallet formats in particular can be made available at low cost, which can be safely lifted and transported with conventional floor conveyors by reducing their load The focus is on adequately uniform pallet loading between the forks or loading spars of such devices in the normal version and the free pallet edge can be safely gripped under the web formation and stored on a loading spar without the risk that the lifted pallet tilts over the other side and falls off.

Weitere Vorteile und Ausführungsformen oder -möglich­keiten der Erfindung gehen aus der folgenden Beschrei­bung der in der schematischen Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiele hervor. Es zeigt

  • Fig. 1 in Draufsicht einen einstückigen Wellpappe-­Zuschnitt zur Herstellung einer erfin­dungsgemäß ausgebildeten Transportpalette und
  • Fig. 2 eine aus dem Zuschnitt der Fig. 1 auf­faltete Transportpalette in axonometri­scher Darstellung.
Further advantages and embodiments or possibilities of the invention emerge from the following description of the exemplary embodiments shown in the schematic drawing. It shows
  • Fig. 1 in plan view a one-piece corrugated cardboard blank for producing a transport pallet designed according to the invention and
  • Fig. 2 is a transport pallet unfolded from the blank of Fig. 1 in an axonometric view.

Zur Herstellung einer mit den erfindungsgemäßen Merk­malen ausgestatteten Transportpalette 1, wie sie in Fig. 2 gezeigt ist, wird bei dieser Ausführungsform ein einstückiger Wellpappe-Zuschnitt 10 verwendet, der die Form eines langgestreckten Rechtecks hat und damit verschnittfrei mit mehreren Nutzen nebeneinander aus einer laufenden Wellpappebahn herausgeschnitten werden kann. Den Wellenverlauf erkennt man bei A.To produce a transport pallet 1 equipped with the features according to the invention, as shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, a one-piece corrugated cardboard blank 10 is used, which has the shape of an elongated rectangle and is thus free of waste with several uses next to one another from a running corrugated cardboard web can be cut out. The wave pattern can be seen in A.

Der Zuschnitt umfaßt, jeweils durch gestrichelt ange­deutete, im Zuge der Herstellung angebrachte Faltlinien 11 sowie Gegenfaltlinien (Gegenriller) 12 gegeneinander abgegrenzt, in Aneinanderreihung von rechts her betrachtet, ein Feld für die Erzeugung einer Paletten-Oberfläche 2, anschließend drei Felder zur Ausbildung eines quaderför­migen zweiten Tragholms 4 in Form einer Außenwand 41, einer Aufstandsfläche 40 und einer Innenwand 42, an­schließend für eine Laderinne 5 eine Rinnendecke 51, darauf folgend zur Ausbildung eines breiteren, ersten quaderförmigen Tragholms 3 eine Innenwand 32, eine Aufstandsfläche 30 und eine Außenwand 31, und abschließend eine Stegunterlage 61 zur Ausbildung eines über die Außenwand 31 des ersten Tragholms 3 hinausragenden Flansches oder Steges 6. In der Paletten-Oberfläche 2 sind, ebenfalls um Faltlinien 11 klappbar, Stützlaschen 21 und 22 eingestanzt, von denen die breiteren Stütz­laschen 21 in ihrer Breite im wesentlichen der Breite der Aufstandsfläche 30 des ersten, breiteren Tragholms 3 und die Stützlaschen 22 der Breite der Aufstandsfläche 40 des schmaleren zweiten Tragholms 4 entsprechen. Diese Stützlaschen liegen in ihrer Breitenerstreckung im Wel­lenverlauf (s. A) und tragen an ihren unteren freien Rändern Riegelnasen 23. Die Höhe der Stützlaschen 21, 22 entspricht der Höhe der Wandteile 31, 32 bzw. 41, 42. An den Riegelnasen 23 entsprechenden gegenüberliegenden Stellen in den Aufstandsflächen 30, 40 sind Riegelschlitze 33 bzw. 43 ausgebildet, so daß die Riegelnasen 23 bei aufgerichteter Palette in den Riegelschlitzen festgesetzt werden können, um damit bei dem aus Fig. 2 entnehmbaren quaderförmigen Aufbau der Tragholme 3 als Querstützen der Erhöhung insbesondere der Seitenbelastbarkeit (Scher­festigkeit und Biegefestigkeit) zu dienen.The cut includes a field for the production of a pallet surface 2, delineated from each other by fold lines 11 and counterfold lines 12 which are attached in the course of the manufacture and counterfold lines (counter-scoring), viewed in a row from the right, then three fields for forming a cuboid-shaped second support beam 4 in the form of an outer wall 41, a contact surface 40 and an internal wall 42, then for a loading channel 5 a gutter cover 51, and subsequently for forming a wider, first cuboid support beam 3, an inner wall 32, a contact patch 30 and an outer wall 31, and finally a web base 61 for forming a flange or web 6 projecting beyond the outer wall 31 of the first support beam 3. Support flaps 21 and 22 are stamped into the pallet surface 2, likewise foldable by fold lines 11, of which the width of the support tabs 21 corresponds essentially to the width of the contact surface 30 of the first, wider support beam 3 and the support tabs 22 to the width of the support surface 40 of the narrower support beam 4. These support brackets lie in their width extent in the wave course (see A) and carry locking lugs 23 at their lower free edges. The height of the support brackets 21, 22 corresponds to the height of the wall parts 31, 32 and 41, 42. On the locking lugs 23, corresponding opposite ones Locations in the contact surfaces 30, 40 are locking slots 33 and 43, respectively, so that the locking tabs 23 can be fixed in the locking slots when the pallet is erected, in order for the cuboid structure of the support bars 3, which can be seen in FIG Side load capacity (shear strength and bending strength) to serve.

In Fig. 1 und 2 ist mit strichpunktierter Linie M die Mittellinie der Paletten-Oberfläche bezeichnet, während mit doppelt-strichpunktierter Linie L die Mitte der Laderinne 5 angegeben ist. Die Mittellinie M verläuft bei gleichmäßiger Beladung der Paletten-Oberfläche 2 durch den (theoretischen) Lastschwerpunkt, so daß bei Unterstützung durch ein linienförmiges Hebezeug in der Linie M Gleichgewicht herrschen müßte. Da dieses in der Praxis aber mit vernünftigen Mitteln selten erreicht werden kann, ist durch die Anordnung der Laderinne 5, in die ein Ladeholm eines Flurförderers eingreifen kann, im Verhältnis zu den Tragholmen und damit durch den Versatz der Rinnen-Mittellinie L gegenüber der Oberflä­chenmittellinie M sichergestellt worden, daß bei Unter­greifen der Palette in der Mitte der Laderinne 5 die Palette ein zur Rinnen-Mittellinie L linksdrehendes Moment ausübt. Die Breite der Laderinne 5 ist etwas größer als die weitgehend standardisierte Breite einzelner Ladeholme von Hubwagen, während die Breite des ersten Tragholms 3 und damit auch der Aufstandsfläche 30 etwas schmaler als die ebenfalls weitestgehend standardisierte Abstandsbreite zwischen den beiden Tragholmen eines Hubwagens ist. Die Paletten-Oberfläche 2 schließt auf der Seite des ersten Tragholmes 3 nicht mit dessen Außenwand 31 ab, sondern überragt diesen entsprechend der Breite der Stegunterlage 61 um ein Stück, so daß damit ein freier Randflansch bzw. -steg 6 gebildet wird. Auf diese Weise ist es möglich, daß bei Unterfahren der Palette mit einem Hubwagen dessen einer Ladeholm in die Rinne 5 eingeführt wird und bei Anheben gegen die Rinnen­decke 51 zur Anlage kommt, während sein zweiter Ladeholm den Flansch 6 bzw. die Stegunterlage 61 untergreift. Die Palette wird also durch die Breitenabmessungen von Laderinne 5 und erstem Tragholm 3 zentriert. - Während bei Hubwagen in der Regel die Breite der Ladeholme und deren Abstand fest und standardisiert sind, kann man bei Gabelstaplern regelmäßig den Abstand der u.U. schmaleren Ladeholme verändern und damit auf die entsprechenden Breitenabmessungen der Palette einstellen, so daß immer noch das linksdrehende Moment um den in die Laderinne 5 eingreifenden Ladeholm und das Untergreifen des Flansches 6 durch den außen befindlichen Ladeholm gewährleistet sind.1 and 2, the center line of the pallet surface is indicated by a dash-dotted line M, while the center of the loading channel 5 is indicated by a double-dash-dotted line L. The center line M runs with a uniform loading of the pallet surface 2 through the (theoretical) center of gravity, so that when supported by a linear hoist in the Line M balance should prevail. Since this can rarely be achieved in practice with reasonable means, the arrangement of the loading channel 5, into which a loading spar of an industrial truck can engage, is relative to the carrying bars and thus due to the offset of the channel center line L with respect to the surface center line M. it has been ensured that when reaching under the pallet in the middle of the loading channel 5, the pallet exerts a moment turning to the left of the channel center line L. The width of the loading channel 5 is somewhat larger than the largely standardized width of individual loading spars of pallet trucks, while the width of the first support beam 3 and thus also the contact area 30 is somewhat narrower than the likewise largely standardized spacing width between the two support beams of a pallet truck. The pallet surface 2 does not end on the side of the first support beam 3 with its outer wall 31, but projects beyond it by a piece corresponding to the width of the web base 61, so that a free edge flange or web 6 is thus formed. In this way it is possible that when driving under the pallet with a pallet truck, a loading spar is inserted into the channel 5 and comes to rest when raised against the channel ceiling 51, while its second loading bar engages under the flange 6 or the web support 61. The pallet is thus centered by the width dimensions of loading channel 5 and first support beam 3. - While the width of the loading spars and their spacing are generally fixed and standardized for forklift trucks, you can regularly change the spacing of the possibly narrower loading spars on forklift trucks and thus adjust them to the corresponding width dimensions of the pallet, so that the left-turning torque is still around in the loading channel 5 engaging loading spar and reaching under the flange 6 are ensured by the outside loading spar.

Somit ist die Palette, bei der es sich im dargestell­ten Beispiel um eine 1/4-Euro-Palette handelt, sicher mit Hilfe üblicher Flurfördergeräte anhebbar und trans­portierbar. Gleiches gilt auch für größere Paletten ähnlicher Ausbildung bis hin zu Paletten mit 1/2-Euro­maß.The pallet, which in the example shown is a 1/4-euro pallet, can thus be safely lifted and transported using conventional industrial trucks. The same also applies to larger pallets of similar training up to pallets with a 1/2 euro dimension.

Wie aus der Darstellung erkennbar, ist die Palette in den beim Anheben mittels Flurförderer hauptsächlich be­lasteten Bereichen, nämlich im Deckenbereich der Lade­rinne 5 und am Steg 6, doppelschichtig ausgebildet, so daß hier ein hoher Belastungswiderstand resultiert. Die Festigkeit der Palette insgesamt wird durch die ver­riegelbaren Stützlaschen 21, 22 sowie ggf. durch die Wahl doppellagigen Wellpappe-Materials gesteigert, so daß man eine aus einem einstückigen Zuschnitt aufricht­bare 1/4-Euro-Palette erhält, die gegenüber einer ver­gleichbaren Palette aus einem zweistückigen Zuschnitt etwa 70 bis 80 % der Tragfähigkeit aufweist. Dieses ist für die Einsatzzwecke solcher Kleinpaletten, die oftmals mit nicht so schwerem Gut wie Großpaletten beladen wer­den, für einen sehr großen Bereich der Einsatzfälle ausreichend, so daß sich durch die entstehenden Material­ersparnisse infolge der Verwendung nur eines Zuschnitts trotz ggf. höherwertigen Wellpappe-Materials, zumal bei Berücksichtigung der Massenverwendung solcher Palet­ten, maßgebliche Einsparungen, zumal auch unter dem Gesichtspunkt des einfachen Auffaltens des Zuschnittes 10, ergeben.As can be seen from the illustration, the pallet in the areas that are mainly loaded when it is lifted by means of an industrial truck, namely in the ceiling area of the loading channel 5 and on the web 6, has a double layer, so that a high load resistance results here. The overall strength of the pallet is increased by the lockable support tabs 21, 22 and, if necessary, by the choice of double-layer corrugated cardboard material, so that a 1/4 euro pallet that can be erected from a one-piece blank is obtained, which is comparable to a comparable pallet from one two-piece cut has about 70 to 80% of the load capacity. This is sufficient for the purposes of such small pallets, which are often loaded with goods that are not as heavy as large pallets, for a very large range of applications, so that the material savings resulting from the use of only one cut despite high-quality corrugated cardboard material, especially when considering the mass use of such pallets, significant savings, especially since it is also easy to unfold the blank 10.
