Definitions
- the invention relates to a pallet for storing and transporting objects which are stacked in at least two layers separated by an intermediate floor.
- Pallets in the sense of these inventions are platforms made of wood, plastic or - preferably - metal, which make it possible to combine several identical or dissimilar goods into one loading unit.
- Known pallets of this type have a rectangular base part, usually with the dimensions 800 x 1000 mm or 1000 x 1200 mm.
- Flat pallets are known, each of which has an upright bracket attached to its narrow sides.
- an upright post is attached to the four corners of a rectangular base part, which is also referred to as a stanchion and is formed by an angle section made of steel.
- Objects can be arranged on such pallets in several layers or layers, which are separated from one another by intermediate shelves.
- the intermediate floors are secured against lateral movement by the posts or stanchions. In general, the intermediate floors are designed so that they in turn secure the objects to be transported against slipping.
- the invention has for its object to design a range of the type described in such a way that it can be accommodated in a space-saving manner when not in use, for example for transport back after unloading the items carried on it, and yet offers the associated intermediate floors a secure hold.
- the pallet shown has a base part 10 with an outer border 12, which is formed by a rectangular frame made of a lying U-profile with legs facing outwards.
- an outer border 12 is formed by a rectangular frame made of a lying U-profile with legs facing outwards.
- four blocks 14 are attached, which between them create the space required for gripping a forklift or the like.
- two parallel longitudinal struts 16 and a plurality of cross struts 18 arranged at right angles thereto are fastened, which together form a horizontal support surface 20 for objects to be transported or for an intermediate floor.
- a vertical base post 22 is attached, which is formed by an angular profile with an outwardly pointing apex, welded to the border 12 and to a longitudinal strut 16 and a cross strut 18 and additionally held by a triangular stiffening plate which is also welded on is.
- Each of the base part posts 22 is assigned an abutment 24, which extends from one to a leg at a height h above the bearing surface 20 of the relevant base part post as well as horizontal bolts welded to the upper corner of the associated stiffening plate.
- the abutments 24 face each other in pairs in the vicinity of a narrow side of the generally rectangular base part 10; its height h above the support surface 20 is such that several intermediate floors can be stacked on the support surface 20 without objects to be transported without exceeding the height h.
- a total of four profiled intermediate floors are provided for the transport of drum brakes which are arranged upright one above the other in three layers and which can be put together for the return transport to form a stack with a total height of 60 mm.
- the height h of the abutment 24 above the bearing surface 20 is at least 60 mm, preferably 65-70 mm.
- Each of the base part posts 22 has at its upper end in one of its two legs, which faces away from the adjacent base part post 22, a catch 26 in the form of a slot worked in from above.
- a guide 28 is formed in the same leg in the form of an essentially vertical elongated hole, which runs in an arc-shaped manner in its lower end region in the direction of the apex of the angle profile of the relevant base part post 22.
- the lower end of the guide 28 is arranged at a height which is approximately h / 2; the upper end has approximately the height 2h above the bearing surface 20.
- the upper ends of the base part posts 22 which belong together in pairs are connected to one another by a base part cross member 30 which is also welded on.
- a pivot post 32 is held in each base part post 22, which in the example shown is formed by a square tube, of which two sides abut on the inside of one leg of the associated base part post 22.
- the pivot posts 32 are vertical in their position of use shown; the upper ends, which belong together in pairs in the use position, are connected to one another by a swivel post cross member 34, which extends parallel to the associated base cross member 30.
- the swivel posts 32 are shown shortened in Figures 1 and 3 for reasons of space; their height can be greater than the width of the base part 10, but should at least be somewhat smaller than its length.
- Each of the four pivot posts 32 has an upper projection 36 and a lower projection 38, both of which protrude laterally.
- the upper projection 36 is locked in the position of use in the detent 26 of the associated base part post 22; the lower projection 38 constantly engages in the associated guide 28.
- the projections 36 and 38 are each formed by a cylindrical pin which is fastened to the associated pivot post 32; the upper projection 36 is welded, the lower projection 38, however, is provided with a threaded pin 40 and clamped to the associated pivot post 32 by means of a washer 42 and a nut 44.
- Each pair of swivel posts 32 together with the associated swivel post crossmember 34 forms a side wall part which is perpendicular in the use position;
- Objects such as drum brakes can be stacked in several layers between the two side wall parts thus formed, each of which rests on an intermediate floor and the topmost one is additionally covered by an intermediate floor.
- the stack thus formed is held together in the usual way with tensioning straps or the like and fastened to the pallet.
- the intermediate shelves are stacked in a space-saving manner and placed on the support surface 20.
- the pivot post cross members 34 are then pushed or pushed up, each pivot post cross member taking the two associated pivot posts 32 with them and releasing their upper projections 36 from the catches 26.
- only a lifting movement in the order of magnitude of two or three times the diameter of the projections 36 is required, and the lower projections 38 slide upwards in their lower guides 28 by a corresponding, small distance.
- the pivot posts 32 can be pivoted in pairs inwards.
- the pivot posts 32 would have a tendency to drop again at the beginning of the pivoting as soon as the upper projections 36 have come free from the base part posts 22 so that the lower projections 38 are supported at the lower end of the associated guide 28 and form an axis of rotation there. However, this would be associated with careless handling with the risk that the downward pivoting pivot posts 32 exert considerable gravitational forces on the stacked intermediate floors and thereby damage them.
- the abutments 24 support the pivot posts 32 in their pivoting in such a way that the pivoting of each pair of pivot posts 32 takes place about the common axis of the abutments 24 which belong together in pairs, the lower projections 38 in the guides 28 moving upward, so that the ones on the Support surface 20 stacked shelves can not be squeezed by the pivot post 32.
- the pivoting posts 32 are pivoted downward beyond their horizontal position until the pivoting post cross members 34 finally come to rest on the intermediate floors and hold them in place without unduly stressing them.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Palette zum Lagern und Transportieren von Gegenständen, die in mindestens zwei durch einen Zwischenboden voneinander getrennten Schichten gestapelt werden.The invention relates to a pallet for storing and transporting objects which are stacked in at least two layers separated by an intermediate floor.
Paletten im Sinne dieser Erfindungen sind Plattformen aus Holz, Kuststoff oder - vorzugsweise - Metall, die es ermöglichen, mehrere gleichartige oder ungleichartige Güter zu einer Ladeeinheit zusammenzufassen. Bekannte Paletten dieser Gattung haben ein rechteckiges Basisteil, üblicherweise mit den Abmessungen 800 x 1000 mm oder 1000 x 1200 mm. Es sind Flachpaletten bekannt, an deren Schmalseiten je ein aufrechtstehender Bügel befestigt ist. Bei anderen Paletten ist an den vier Ecken eines rechteckigen Basisteils je ein aufrechter Pfosten befestigt, der auch als Runge bezeichnet wird und von einem Winkelprofil aus Stahl gebildet ist. Auf solchen Paletten lassen sich Gegenstände in mehreren Schichten oder Lagen, die durch Zwischenböden voneinander getrennt sind, anordnen. Die Zwischenböden sind durch die Pfosten oder Rungen gegen seitliches Verschieben gesichert. Im allgemeinen sind die Zwischenböden so gestaltet, daß sie ihrerseits die zu transportierenden Gegenstände gegen Verrutschen sichern.Pallets in the sense of these inventions are platforms made of wood, plastic or - preferably - metal, which make it possible to combine several identical or dissimilar goods into one loading unit. Known pallets of this type have a rectangular base part, usually with the dimensions 800 x 1000 mm or 1000 x 1200 mm. Flat pallets are known, each of which has an upright bracket attached to its narrow sides. In other pallets, an upright post is attached to the four corners of a rectangular base part, which is also referred to as a stanchion and is formed by an angle section made of steel. Objects can be arranged on such pallets in several layers or layers, which are separated from one another by intermediate shelves. The intermediate floors are secured against lateral movement by the posts or stanchions. In general, the intermediate floors are designed so that they in turn secure the objects to be transported against slipping.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Palette der eingangs beschriebenen Gattung derart zu gestalten, daß sie sich bei Nichtgebrauch, beispielsweise zum Rücktransport nach Abladen der auf ihr transportierten Gegenstände, raumsparend unterbringen läßt und dennoch den zugehörigen Zwischenböden sicheren Halt bietet.The invention has for its object to design a range of the type described in such a way that it can be accommodated in a space-saving manner when not in use, for example for transport back after unloading the items carried on it, and yet offers the associated intermediate floors a secure hold.

Die dargestellte Palette hat ein Basisteil 10 mit einer äußeren Umrandung 12, die von einem rechteckigen Rahmen aus einem liegenden U-Profil mit nach außen gewandten Schenkeln gebildet ist. An der Unterseite der Umrandung 12 sind vier Klötze 14 befestigt, die zwischen sich den zum Angreifen eines Gabelstaplers oder dergleichen erforderlichen Freiraum schaffen. Auf der Umrandung 12 sind zwei parallele Längsstreben 16 sowie mehrere im rechten Winkel dazu angeordnete Querstreben 18 befestigt, die zusammen eine waagerechte Auflagefläche 20 für zu transportierende Gegenstände oder für einen Zwischenboden bilden.The pallet shown has a
An den vier Ecken der Umrandung 12 ist je ein senkrechter Basisteilpfosten 22 befestigt, der von einem Winkelprofil mit nach außen weisendem Scheitel gebildet ist, an der Umrandung 12 sowie an einer Längsstrebe 16 und einer Querstrebe 18 angeschweißt und durch ein ebenfalls angeschweißtes dreieckiges Versteifungsblech zusätzlich gehalten ist. Jedem der Basisteilpfosten 22 ist ein Widerlager 24 zugeordnet, das von einem in einer Höhe h oberhalb der Auflagefläche 20 an einen Schenkel des betreffenden Basisteilpfostens sowie an die obere Ecke des zugehörigen Versteifungsblechs angeschweißten waagerechten Bolzen gebildet ist. Die Widerlager 24 stehen einander paarweise in der Nähe je einer Schmalseite des insgesamt rechteckigen Basisteils 10 gegenüber; ihre Höhe h über der Auflagefläche 20 ist so bemessen, daß mehrere Zwischenböden ohne zu transportierende Gegenstände auf der Auflagefläche 20 gestapelt werden können, ohne die Höhe h zu überschreiten. Beispielsweise sind zum Transportieren von in drei Lagen übereinander aufrechtstehend angeordneten Trommelbremsen insgesamt vier profilierte Zwischenböden vorgesehen, die sich für den Rücktransport zu einem Stapel von 60 mm Gesamthöhe zusammenfügen lassen. In diesem Fall beträgt die Höhe h der Widerlager 24 über der Auflagefläche 20 mindestens 60 mm, vorzugsweise 65 - 70 mm.At the four corners of the

Unterhalb der Rast 26 ist im selben Schenkel eine Führung 28 in Form eines im wesentlichen senkrechten Langlochs ausgebildet, das in seinem unteren Endbereich bogenförmig in Richtung zum Scheitel des Winkelprofils des betreffenden Basisteilpfostens 22 verläuft. Das untere Ende der Führung 28 ist auf einer Höhe angeordnet, die ungefähr h/2 beträgt; das obere Ende hat ungefähr die Höhe 2h über der Auflagefläche 20. Die oberen Enden der paarweise zusammengehörigen Basisteilpfosten 22 sind durch eine ebenfalls angeschweißte Basisteiltraverse 30 miteinander verbunden.Each of the
In jedem Basisteilpfosten 22 ist ein Schwenkpfosten 32 gehalten, der im dargestellten Beispiel von einem Vierkantrohr gebildet ist, von dem zwei Seiten an der Innenseite je eines Schenkels des zugehörigen Basisteilpfostens 22 anliegen. Die Schwenkpfosten 32 stehen in ihrer abgebildeten Gebrauchsstellung senkrecht; die in Gebrauchsstellung oberen Enden paarweise zusammengehöriger Schwenkpfosten 32 sind miteinander durch eine Schwenkpfostentraverse 34 verbunden, die sich parallel zur zugehörigen Basisteiltraverse 30 erstreckt. Die Schwenkpfosten 32 sind in Fig. 1 und 3 aus Platzgründen verkürzt gezeichnet; ihre Höhe kann größer als die Breite des Basisteils 10, soll aber zumindest etwas kleiner als dessen Länge sein.A
Jeder der insgesamt vier Schwenkpfosten 32 hat einen oberen Vorsprung 36 und einen unteren Vorsprung 38, die beide seitlich wegragen. Der obere Vorsprung 36 ist in Gebrauchsstellung in die Rast 26 des zugehörigen Basisteilpfostens 22 eingerastet; der untere Vorsprung 38 greift ständig in die zugehörige Führung 28 ein. Im dargestellten Beispiel sind die Vorsprünge 36 und 38, wie aus Fig. 4 bzw. Fig. 5 ersichtlich ist, von je einem zylindrischen Zapfen gebildet, der am zugehörigen Schwenkpfosten 32 befestigt ist; der obere Vorsprung 36 ist angeschweißt, der untere Vorsprung 38 hingegen mit einem Gewindezapfen 40 versehen und mittels einer Beilagscheibe 42 und einer Mutter 44 am zugehörigen Schwenkpfosten 32 festgeklemmt.Each of the four
Jedes Paar Schwenkpfosten 32 bildet zusammen mit der zugehörigen Schwenkpfostentraverse 34 ein in Gebrauchsstellung senkrechtes Seitenwandteil; zwischen den beiden so gebildeten Seitenwandteilen lassen sich Gegenstände wie zum Beispiel Trommelbremsen in mehreren Lagen stapeln, von denen jede auf einem Zwischenboden ruht und die oberste zusätzlich von einem Zwischenboden abgedeckt ist. Der so gebildete Stapel ist in üblicher Weise mit Spannbändern oder dergleichen zusammengehalten und an der Palette befestigt.Each pair of
Nach dem Transport und Entladen der Gegenstände werden die Zwischenböden platzsparend gestapelt und auf der Auflagefläche 20 abgelegt. Sodann werden die Schwenkpfostentraversen 34 nach oben gedrückt oder geschoben, wobei jede Schwenkpfostentraverse die beiden zugehörigen Schwenkpfosten 32 mitnimmt und deren obere Vorsprünge 36 aus den Rasten 26 löst. Hierzu ist nur eine Hubbewegung in der Größenordnung des zwei- oder dreifachen Durchmessers der Vorsprünge 36 erforderlich, und dabei gleiten die unteren Vorsprünge 38 in ihren unteren Führungen 28 um eine entsprechende, kleine Strecke nach oben. Nun können die Schwenkpfosten 32 paarweise nach innen geschwenkt werden.After the objects have been transported and unloaded, the intermediate shelves are stacked in a space-saving manner and placed on the
Wären die Widerlager 24 nicht vorhanden, so hätten die Schwenkpfosten 32 die Tendenz, zu Beginn der Schwenkung, sobald die oberen Vorsprünge 36 von den Basisteilpfosten 22 freigekommen sind, wieder soweit abzusinken, daß die unteren Vorsprünge 38 sich am unteren Ende der zugehörigen Führung 28 abstützen und dort eine Drehachse bilden. Dies wäre aber bei unvorsichtiger Handhabung mit der Gefahr verbunden, daß die abwärts schwenkenden Schwenkpfosten 32 erhebliche Schwerekräfte auf die gestapelten Zwischenböden ausüben und diese dadurch beschädigen. Die Widerlager 24 stützen jedoch die Schwenkpfosten 32 bei ihrer Schwenkung derart ab, daß die Schwenkung jedes Paars Schwenkpfosten 32 um die gemeinsame Achse der paarweise zusammengehörigen Widerlager 24 stattfindet, wobei die unteren Vorsprünge 38 in den Führungen 28 nach oben wandern, so daß die auf der Auflagefläche 20 gestapelten Zwischenböden von den Schwenkpfosten 32 nicht eingezwängt werden können. Die Schwenkpfosten 32 werden über ihre waagrechte Lage hinaus soweit nach unten geschwenkt, bis die Schwenkpfostentraversen 34 schließlich auf den Zwischenböden zu liegen kommen und diese festhalten, ohne sie übermäßig zu belasten.If the
