Definitions
- the invention relates to a goods carrier with a flat bottom surface corresponding to the size of a standard pallet and circumferential, essentially vertically directed side surfaces.
- Pallets have increasingly been used to combine transport units and their easy transportation for around 30 years, which in particular enables unloaded transport and an improvement in storage technology.
- a pallet as a flat pallet, which according to the standard has a size of 80 x 120 cm
- the goods for example cans or hard packs
- the pallet are stacked on the pallet up to a height of approximately one meter.
- straps are then pulled over the goods or films are often wrapped around the entire pallet today, so that a stable unit is created.
- the invention is based on the object of specifying a goods carrier which, in conjunction with a pallet, enables the goods to be transported safely, does not require any disposal effort, and enables easy access to the goods.
- the invention relates to the use of such a product carrier.
- each product carrier is hood-shaped, it overlaps the side surfaces of the product carrier located below it in such a way that its vertical position is defined by the product arranged on the lower product carrier. There is therefore no free space between the goods and the goods carrier, so that the total height of the goods stack is determined by the number of layers of goods stacked one on top of the other plus the commuted thickness of the floor surfaces of the goods carriers plus the height of the pallet.
- the telescopically interlocking side surfaces of the goods carriers offer lateral guidance, so that an additional side stabilization of the goods stack is not necessary.
- the side surfaces also offer protection of the goods, so that the risk of damage to the side packaging or bottles is considerably reduced.
- the vertical position of a goods carrier results directly from the height of the stacked goods, so that the position of the goods carrier adjusts itself automatically without its function being impaired.
- the entire stack of goods can be used directly as a sales area, since after the uppermost product carrier has been removed, the uppermost layer of a product can easily be removed from the next product carrier. As soon as the layer is completely removed, the next goods carrier is removed, so that the next layer of goods is immediately accessible. This has the advantage that each layer must be completely removed before the next product carrier can be removed. This effectively prevents goods from being removed from an intermediate layer and does not endanger the stability of the stack of goods.
- the side surfaces of the product carrier can all be directed exclusively downwards from the base surface, so that there is a flat, laterally free base surface from which the product can be removed from all sides.
- at least one of the side faces is only directed upwards from the bottom face and the other side faces are only directed downwards. Therefore, if two sides face up and two sides face down, unhindered access from two sides of the stack of goods is possible. This not only has advantages for the removal of the goods, but also allows easier loading of the goods carrier, since this is usually done by pushing the goods on from the side.
- corner guides can also be provided, each of which is designed to engage in a goods carrier that follows in the vertical direction. By using such corner guides, the tolerance of the overlapping side surfaces can be increased.
- the side surfaces can also have viewing windows to enable customers to immediately see the contents of the stack of goods.
- a goods carrier is preferably placed on a first layer of goods arranged on the pallet and a further layer of goods is applied to this goods carrier.
- the goods carriers and layers are then alternately arranged in height until the specified total height is reached.
- one or two straps can still be used.
- a stack of goods built up with the product carriers according to the invention on a pallet can be used directly as a sales area, since the top product carrier in each case forms a flat base area.
- the invention makes it possible to simplify the construction of a stack of goods, since the finished stack of goods does not require any additional security measures, such as film wrapping. This also eliminates the need to dispose of the film at the place where the pallet is emptied.
- the product carrier according to the invention is particularly suitable for the transport and storage of cans, hard packs and bottles.
- the base of a product carrier can be structured in a grid-like manner or special inserts provided with grid-like openings can be used, which Have the advantage that the product carrier itself is only required in a single embodiment.
- the size of a product carrier corresponds to the size of a pallet, it can also be provided that two or more smaller product carriers share the area of a pallet.
- Fig. 1 shows a stack of goods 1, which is built on a pallet 2.
- a lower goods carrier is placed on the pallet 2, which has a flat bottom surface 5 and four side areas 4 with a first mutual distance, to which four hood areas 3 connect with a second mutual distance.
- the distances are chosen such that the hood areas 3 of goods carriers stacked one above the other can each be fitted onto the side areas 4 of an underlying goods carrier.
- the height of the hood areas corresponds approximately to the height of the side areas, so that the vertical distance between two product carriers is approximately equal to the height of the side or.
- Hood areas can be changed without the telescopic engagement of two stacked goods carriers being canceled.
- the lowest goods carrier overlaps the pallet. So that there is no space between the goods and the goods carrier placed over them, the height of the side areas should not be greater than the height of the goods.
- the goods carrier is made of aluminum or plastic, and its surfaces can also be designed in a lattice shape, on the one hand to save weight and on the other hand to be able to recognize the goods in the goods stack.
- Fig. 2 shows an arrangement for loading a product carrier.
- the goods 7 are pushed laterally onto the bottom surface 5 of the goods carrier by means of a slide 8.
- a new goods carrier 6 is fed, which is placed on the deferred layer of goods.
- Fig. 3 shows the structure of a stack of goods in side view.
- Several goods carriers are already stacked one above the other on a pallet 2, the structure being located in a frame 9, 14.
- the stack of goods can be lowered between the stands 9, 14, so that the surface 13 of a goods carrier 10 is located in the plane of the goods supply plane.
- FIG. 4 shows a stack of product carriers 16 which are stacked on a pallet 2.
- FIG. 6 shows a single goods carrier. This has three side surfaces 18, 19, 20 which are directed vertically from the bottom surface only upwards and a side surface 25 which is directed only downwards from the bottom surface.
- the downward-facing side surface 25 allows the goods to be pushed laterally onto the floor surface of the goods carrier without hindrance. Furthermore, this side surface makes it easier for the goods to be removed from the side.
- corner guides 21-24 are provided, each of which can engage in matching guides of a product carrier arranged below, in order to achieve improved lateral stability.
- there is no special overlap of the Side surfaces of stacked goods carriers are required, since the side surfaces here only require the function of securing the goods on the side, but not the side of the goods carriers themselves.
- FIGS. 4 and 6 have a downwardly directed side surface 25 in the broad side region
- FIGS. 5 and 7 show a corresponding arrangement of a downwardly directed side surface 25 in the narrow side region.

Abstract
Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Warenträger mit einer ebenen in der Größe einer Normpalette entsprechenden Bodenfläche und umlaufenden, im wesentlichen vertikal gerichteten Seitenflächen.The invention relates to a goods carrier with a flat bottom surface corresponding to the size of a standard pallet and circumferential, essentially vertically directed side surfaces.
Zur Zusammenfassung von Transporteinheiten und deren leichte Beförderung werden seit etwa 30 Jahren im zunehmenden Maße Paletten verwendet, die insbesondere einen umschlaglosen Transport und eine Verbesserung der Lagertechnik ermöglichen. Bei der Verwendung einer Palette als Flachpalette, die normgemäß eine Größe von 80 x 120 cm aufweist, werden die Waren, beispielsweise Dosen oder Hartpackungen, etwa bis zur Höhe von einem Meter auf der Palette aufgestapelt. Zur Sicherung werden dann entweder Gurte über die Ware gezogen oder es werden heute häufig Folien um die gesamte Palette gewickelt, so daß eine stabile Einheit entsteht.Pallets have increasingly been used to combine transport units and their easy transportation for around 30 years, which in particular enables unloaded transport and an improvement in storage technology. When using a pallet as a flat pallet, which according to the standard has a size of 80 x 120 cm, the goods, for example cans or hard packs, are stacked on the pallet up to a height of approximately one meter. To secure it, either straps are then pulled over the goods or films are often wrapped around the entire pallet today, so that a stable unit is created.
Obgleich Transport und Lagerung auf diese Weise unproblematisch sind, ergeben sich Probleme der Handhabung beim Entleeren der Palette. Dazu müssen zunächst die verwendeten Gurte oder Folien von der Palette entfernt werden, so daß die Ware zugänglich ist. Dabei treten auch Entsorgungsprobleme für die Folien auf. Des weiteren ergibt sich das Problem, daß die Ware von der Palette schichtweise abzutragen ist und z. B. beim Verkauf in einem Kaufhaus durch weitere Transportmittel auf andere Verkaufsflächen übergeben werden muß. Sofern die Ware auf der Palette bleibend in den Verkaufsraum überführt wird, kann die Entfernung der Gurte oder Folien erst im Verkaufsraum stattfinden, so daß sich wiederum Probleme der Entsorgung der Folien oder Haltegurte ergeben. Der freigestellte Warenstapel ist außerdem empfindlich gegen seitliches Anstoßen von Einkaufswagen, so daß nur bestimmte Waren als Warenstapel auf eine Palette in einen Verkaufsraum gebracht werden können.Although transport and storage are unproblematic in this way, handling problems arise when emptying the pallet. To do this, the straps or foils used must first be removed from the pallet so that the goods are accessible. There are also disposal problems for the foils. Furthermore, there is the problem that the goods have to be removed from the pallet in layers and z. B. must be transferred to other sales areas when sold in a department store by other means of transport. If the goods are permanently transferred to the sales area on the pallet, the straps or films can only be removed in the sales room, so that problems with the disposal of the films or tether straps arise. The exempted stack of goods is also sensitive to the side impact of shopping carts, so that only certain goods can be placed on a pallet in a sales area as a stack of goods.
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, einen Warenträger anzugeben, der in Verbindung mit einer Palette einen sicheren Transport der Ware ermöglicht, keinen Entsorgungsaufwand hervorruft, und einen einfachen Zugriff zur Ware ermöglicht. Die Erfindung betrifft die Verwendung eines derartigen Warenträgers.The invention is based on the object of specifying a goods carrier which, in conjunction with a pallet, enables the goods to be transported safely, does not require any disposal effort, and enables easy access to the goods. The invention relates to the use of such a product carrier.
Der Diese Aufgabe wird durch einen erfindungsgemäßen Warenträger gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst.This object is achieved by an article carrier according to the invention as claimed in claim 1.
Es ergeben sich folgende Vorteile der Erfindung. Da jeder Warenträger haubenartig ausgebildet ist, übergreift dieser die Seitenflächen des jeweilig darunter befindlichen Warenträgers in der Weise, daß seine vertikale Lage jeweils durch die auf dem unteren Warenträger angeordnete Ware definiert ist. Zwischen Ware und Warenträger befindet sich daher kein Freiraum, so daß die Gesamthöhe des Warenstapels durch die Zahl der übereinander gestapelten Lagen von Ware plus der kommulierten Dicke der Bodenflächen der Warenträger plus der Höhe der Palette bestimmt ist. Die teleskopartig ineinandergreifenden Seitenflächen der Warenträger bieten eine seitliche Führung, so daß eine zusätzliche Seitenstabilisierung des Warenstapels nicht erforderlich ist. Die Seitenflächen bieten ferner einen Schutz der Ware, so daß die Gefahr der Beschädigung seitlicher Warenpackungen oder Flaschen erheblich verringert ist. Die vertikale Lage eines Warenträgers ergibt sich unmittelbar aus der Höhe der gestapelten Waren, so daß sich die Lage des Warenträgers automatisch einstellt, ohne daß dessen Funktion beeinträchtigt wäre.The following advantages of the invention result. Since each product carrier is hood-shaped, it overlaps the side surfaces of the product carrier located below it in such a way that its vertical position is defined by the product arranged on the lower product carrier. There is therefore no free space between the goods and the goods carrier, so that the total height of the goods stack is determined by the number of layers of goods stacked one on top of the other plus the commuted thickness of the floor surfaces of the goods carriers plus the height of the pallet. The telescopically interlocking side surfaces of the goods carriers offer lateral guidance, so that an additional side stabilization of the goods stack is not necessary. The side surfaces also offer protection of the goods, so that the risk of damage to the side packaging or bottles is considerably reduced. The vertical position of a goods carrier results directly from the height of the stacked goods, so that the position of the goods carrier adjusts itself automatically without its function being impaired.
Der gesamte Warenstapel kann unmittelbar als Verkaufsfläche dienen, da nach Abnahme des obersten Warenträgers die oberste Lage einer Ware von dem nächstfolgenden Warenträger ohne weiteres abgenommen werden kann. Sobald die Lage vollständig entfernt ist, wird der nächste Warenträger abgenommen, so daß die nächste Lage von Waren unmittelbar zugänglich ist. Dies hat den Vorteil, daß jede Lage vollständig entfernt werden muß, bevor der nächste Warenträger abgenommen werden kann. Damit wird ein seitliches Entnehmen von Ware aus einer Zwischenlage wirksam verhindert und die Stabilität des Warenstapels damit nicht gefährdet.The entire stack of goods can be used directly as a sales area, since after the uppermost product carrier has been removed, the uppermost layer of a product can easily be removed from the next product carrier. As soon as the layer is completely removed, the next goods carrier is removed, so that the next layer of goods is immediately accessible. This has the advantage that each layer must be completely removed before the next product carrier can be removed. This effectively prevents goods from being removed from an intermediate layer and does not endanger the stability of the stack of goods.
Die Seitenflächen des Warenträgers können von der Bodenfläche ausgehend sämtlich ausschießlich nach unten gerichtet sein, so daß sich eine ebene seitlich freie Bodenfläche ergibt, von der die Ware von allen Seiten abgenommen werden kann. Es ist aber auch möglich, daß wenigstens eine der Seitenflächen von der Bodenfläche ausgehend nur nach oben gerichtet ist und die übrigen Seitenflächen nur nach unten gerichtet sind. Wenn daher zwei Seitenflächen nach oben gerichtet sind und zwei Seitenflächen nach unten, ist ein ungehinderter Zugriff von zwei Seiten des Warenstapels möglich. Dies hat nicht nur für die Entnahme der Ware Vorteile, sondern erlaubt auch eine einfachere Beladung des Warenträgers, da dies üblicherweise durch Aufschieben der Ware von der Seite erfolgt.The side surfaces of the product carrier can all be directed exclusively downwards from the base surface, so that there is a flat, laterally free base surface from which the product can be removed from all sides. However, it is also possible that at least one of the side faces is only directed upwards from the bottom face and the other side faces are only directed downwards. Therefore, if two sides face up and two sides face down, unhindered access from two sides of the stack of goods is possible. This not only has advantages for the removal of the goods, but also allows easier loading of the goods carrier, since this is usually done by pushing the goods on from the side.
Zur Vermeidung von Verkantungen aufeinander gesetzter Warenträger können zusätzlich Eckführungen vorgesehen sein, die jeweils in einen in vertikaler Richtung folgenden Warenträger eingreifend ausgebildet sind. Durch Verwendung derartiger Eckführungen kann die Toleranz der übereinandergreifenden Seitenflächen vergrößert werden.To avoid canting of goods carriers placed one on top of the other, corner guides can also be provided, each of which is designed to engage in a goods carrier that follows in the vertical direction. By using such corner guides, the tolerance of the overlapping side surfaces can be increased.
Die Seitenflächen können auch Sichtfenster aufweisen, um Kunden zu ermöglichen, den Inhalt des Warenstapels unmittelbar zu erkennen.The side surfaces can also have viewing windows to enable customers to immediately see the contents of the stack of goods.
Zum Aufbau eines Warenstapels auf einer Palette wird vorzugsweise auf eine erste auf der Palette angeordnete Lage von Waren ein Warenträger aufgesetzt und auf diesen Warenträger eine weitere Lage von Waren aufgebracht. Darauf werden in der Höhe abwechselnd Warenträger und Warenlagen angeordnet, bis die vorgegebene Gesamthöhe erreicht ist. Zur Sicherung kann der Stapel noch mit ein oder zwei Gurten umspannt werden.To build up a stack of goods on a pallet, a goods carrier is preferably placed on a first layer of goods arranged on the pallet and a further layer of goods is applied to this goods carrier. The goods carriers and layers are then alternately arranged in height until the specified total height is reached. To secure the stack, one or two straps can still be used.
Ein mit dem erfindungsgemäßen Warenträgern aufgebauter Warenstapel auf einer Palette kann unmittelbar als Verkaufsfläche verwendet werden, da der jeweils oberste Warenträger eine ebene Grundfläche bildet.A stack of goods built up with the product carriers according to the invention on a pallet can be used directly as a sales area, since the top product carrier in each case forms a flat base area.
Die Erfindung erlaubt eine Vereinfachung des Aufbaus eines Warenstapels, da der fertiggestellte Warenstapel keine zusätzlichen Sicherungsmaßnahmen, wie Folienumwicklung, erfordert. Damit entfällt auch die Entsorgung der Folie am Entleerungsort der Palette.The invention makes it possible to simplify the construction of a stack of goods, since the finished stack of goods does not require any additional security measures, such as film wrapping. This also eliminates the need to dispose of the film at the place where the pallet is emptied.
Der erfindungsgemäße Warenträger eignet sich insbesondere für den Transport und die Lagerung von Dosen, Hartpackungen und Flaschen. Zur Absicherung der gegenseitigen Lage von Flaschen kann die Grundfläche eines Warenträgers rasterartig strukturiert sein oder es können zusätzlich spezielle mit rasterartigen Durchbrüchen versehene Einsätze verwendet werden, die den Vorteil haben, daß der Warenträger selbst lediglich in einer einzigen Ausführungsform erforderlich ist.The product carrier according to the invention is particularly suitable for the transport and storage of cans, hard packs and bottles. To secure the mutual position of bottles, the base of a product carrier can be structured in a grid-like manner or special inserts provided with grid-like openings can be used, which Have the advantage that the product carrier itself is only required in a single embodiment.
Obgleich vorgesehen ist, daß die Größe eines Warenträgers der Größe einer Palette entspricht, kann auch vorgesehen sein, daß jeweils zwei oder mehr kleinere Warenträger sich die Fläche einer Palette teilen.Although it is provided that the size of a product carrier corresponds to the size of a pallet, it can also be provided that two or more smaller product carriers share the area of a pallet.

Die in Fig. 1 dargestellte Anordnung zeigt einen Warenstapel 1, der auf einer Palette 2 aufgebaut ist. Auf die Palette 2 ist ein unterer Warenträger aufgesetzt, der eine ebene Bodenfläche 5 aufweist und vier Seitenbereiche 4 mit einem ersten gegenseitigen Abstand, an die vier Haubenbereiche 3 mit einem zweiten gegenseitigen Abstand anschließen. Die Abstände sind so gewählt, daß die Haubenbereiche 3 von übereinander gestapelten Warenträgern jeweils auf die Seitenbereiche 4 eines darunterliegenden Warenträgers passend aufsetzbar sind. Die Höhe der Haubenbereiche entspricht etwa der Höhe der Seitenbereiche, so daß der vertikale Abstand zweier Warenträger etwa um die Höhe der Seiten-bzw. Haubenbereiche veränderbar ist, ohne daß der teleskopartige Eingriff zweier übereinander gestapelter Warenträger aufgehoben ist.The arrangement shown in Fig. 1 shows a stack of goods 1, which is built on a
Der unterste Warenträger übergreift dabei die Palette. Damit kein Zwischenraum zwischen Ware und darüber gestülptem Warenträger entsteht, sollte die Höhe der Seitenbereiche nicht größer als die Höhe der Ware sein. Der Warenträger besteht aus Aluminium oder Kunststoff, wobei seine Flächen auch gitterförmig ausgebildet sein können, um einerseits Gewicht zu sparen, andererseits die Ware im Warenstapel erkennen zu können.The lowest goods carrier overlaps the pallet. So that there is no space between the goods and the goods carrier placed over them, the height of the side areas should not be greater than the height of the goods. The goods carrier is made of aluminum or plastic, and its surfaces can also be designed in a lattice shape, on the one hand to save weight and on the other hand to be able to recognize the goods in the goods stack.

Dieser weist drei Seitenflächen 18, 19, 20 auf, die vertikal von der Bodenfläche ausgehend nur nach oben gerichtet sind und eine Seitenfläche 25, die von der Bodenfläche ausgehend nur nach unten gerichtet ist. Die nach unten gerichtete Seitenfläche 25 erlaubt es, daß die Ware seitlich ohne Behinderung auf die Bodenfläche des Warenträgers geschoben werden kann. Ferner erlaubt es diese Seitenfläche, daß eine Entnahme der Ware von der Seite her erleichtert ist.
