Definitions

  • the invention relates to a pallet intended for the transport of loads from uniformly formed pallet elements made of sheet metal, the pallet elements at least in their edge regions each having at least two conical projections molded down into the sheet metal, which correspond in shape and size.
  • a range of the structure described is known. It consists of two pallet elements made of sheet metal, which are connected to each other on the undersides of the conical lugs. In this respect, the pallet elements form a lower and an upper half of the pallet. Pallets of the structure described have the disadvantage that they require a considerable volume for the return transport and thus cause correspondingly high transport costs. In addition, the known pallets are only suitable for loads up to a certain size, which is predetermined by the dimensions of the respective transport pallet. The pallets are neither stackable nor can larger pallet units be formed from the pallets.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a pallet for the transport of loads, which is suitable for loads of any size and can be stacked during the return transport so that it requires very little space.
  • the object is achieved according to the invention in a pallet of the construction described at the outset by arranging at least two pallet elements next to one another with overlapping at the edge, the conical projections of the upper pallet element engaging in the overlapping area in the conical projections of the lower pallet element and fixing the position of the pallet elements to one another.
  • the conical approaches which can be formed, for example, as a hollow pyramid or as a hollow cone and are produced by pressing, deep-drawing or the like.
  • the metal sheet forming a pallet element enable the individual pallet elements to be put into one another, so that depending on the weight and size of the items to be transported Loads of any number of pallet elements can be arranged above and next to one another, the conical lugs fixing the position of the individual pallet elements precisely to one another and not allowing the individual pallet elements to be moved.
  • the pallet elements each have nine conical lugs, which are arranged in three rows of three lugs arranged next to one another.
  • the height of the conical lugs can expediently be chosen so that it corresponds to the standard height for forklift loading.
  • the inexpensive stacking option of the pallet according to the invention is evident during the return transport.
  • the amount of one Stack does not correspond to the sum of the individual heights of the stacked pallets, as with known pallets, but rather the sum of the individual heights of the first pallet element and the wall thickness of all other pallet elements.
  • a very large number of the pallet elements or pallets according to the invention can therefore be stacked with the smallest space requirement.
  • the conical lugs are each provided on their underside with an opening for releasably fastening sheet metal strips.
  • the openings can be formed, for example, in that the metal sheet forming the pallet is provided with small bores at the relevant point before pressing, deep-drawing or the like.
  • the conical approaches can also be provided with holes on the underside after the conical approaches.
  • the sheet metal strips that can be fastened on the underside have a width that is slightly larger than the width or the diameter of the conical projections.
  • the length of the metal strips corresponds to the entire length or the entire width of the pallet.
  • the metal strips form a belt that prevents the pallet from bending.
  • projections are provided on the top of the metal strips, the spacing of which corresponds to the distance between the conical projections on the metal sheet forming the pallet, and which are dimensioned so that they fit into the on the bottom of the conical projections engage openings.
  • a particularly tight fit of the projections provided on the top of the sheet metal strips in the openings of the conical projections is achieved in that the external dimension of the projections is slightly larger than the internal dimension of the openings in the conical projections and that the projections are curved slightly outwards. This results in a kind of push button system.
  • the pallet elements have stiffening beads molded downward into the metal sheet. This significantly improves the torsional rigidity of the pallet elements. A particularly high torsional stiffness results if the beads have an elongated shape and are arranged in such a way that they run in different directions, predominantly transversely to the sheet metal strips. It is also within the scope to design the beads in a star shape.
  • two opposite edges of the pallet are provided with wedge-shaped attachments which are detachable are connected to the metal sheet.
  • This embodiment of the invention enables the transport of round objects such as coils, drums, rollers and the like.
  • a detachable connection between the wedge-shaped attachments and the metal sheet can be brought about in a simple manner in that the wedge-shaped attachments are provided on their underside with conical approaches which correspond in shape and size to the conical approaches of the metal sheet.
  • the releasable connection can be brought about by inserting the conical projections provided on the wedge-shaped attachments into the conical projections of the metal sheet forming the pallet.
  • the wedge-shaped attachments are particularly good and space-saving stackable that they are made of sheet metal and have the shape of a trapezoid in their side view.
  • the pallet element shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 consists of a metal sheet 1 which is provided with conical projections 2 directed downwards.
  • a sheet metal strip 4 is attached to the underside of the conical lugs 2.
  • the metal sheet 1 is provided with beads 6 pointing downwards, which have an elongated shape. The beads 6 extend over the entire surface of the metal sheet 1.
  • the metal sheet 1 is provided with star-shaped beads 6, which also extend over the entire surface of the metal sheet 1.
  • FIG. 4 shows a pallet element in which the conical lugs 2 provided on the metal sheet 1 have openings 3 and in which 4 projections 5 are provided on the upper side of the metal strips, which engage in the openings 3 of the conical lugs 2.
  • the conical projections 2 provided on the metal sheet 1 likewise have openings and 4 projections 5 are provided on the upper side of the sheet metal strips.
  • the outer dimension of the projections 5 is slightly larger than the inner dimension of the openings 3 in the conical lugs 2.
  • the projections 5 are curved slightly upwards.
  • the pallet shown in Fig. 6 has wedge-shaped attachments 7 which are provided with conical lugs 8.
  • the conical lugs 8 engage in the conical lugs 2 provided on the metal sheet 1.
  • the wedge-shaped attachments 7 enable the transport of round objects; such a round object 10 is indicated by dash-dotted lines.
  • the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 7 shows two pallets arranged one above the other, rods 9 being inserted into the conical extensions 2 of the lower pallet provided on the metal sheet 1, the upper ends of which, in a manner not shown, into the conical extensions 2 engage the openings provided in the pallet above.
  • the pallet arrangement forms a high shelf suitable for longer use.
  • FIGS. 8 and 9 show that the pallet elements described can be assembled into pallets of any size. Such a pallet can be used to transport objects of any size.
