Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Palette, die einen Trägerabschnitt, Füsse und Kufen aufweist, welcher Trägerabschnitt eine rechteckige Grundrissform mit Längsrändern und Querrändern aufweist und über die Füsse auf den Kufen abgestützt ist, welcher Trägerabschnitt und welche Kufen aus Kunststoff mit gegebenenfalls Zusätzen bestehen.The present invention relates to a pallet which has a support section, feet and runners, which section of the beam has a rectangular plan shape with longitudinal edges and transverse edges and Which support section is supported by the feet on the runners and which plastic runners with if necessary Additions exist.

Zur Bildung von Einheitsladungen im Zusammenhang mit dem Einsatz von Gabelstaplern und Gabelhubwagen, auch mit Teleskoparmen ausgerüsteten Flurfördermitteln werden sogenannte Stapelplatten, z.B. nach DIN 15141 und 15146 verwendet, welche in der Fachwelt auch mit Paletten bezeichnet werden.In connection with the formation of unit charges with the use of forklifts and pallet trucks, also with industrial vehicles equipped with telescopic arms so-called stacking plates, e.g. according to DIN 15141 and 15146 used, which in the professional world also with pallets be designated.

Diese Paletten weisen genormte Masse auf, beispielsweise 800x1200 mm. Dabei sind Zweiweg- und Vierweg-Ausbildungen möglich.These pallets have standardized dimensions, for example 800x1200 mm. There are two-way and four-way training courses possible.

Eine Zweiweg-Ausbildung gestattet eine Gabeleinführung des Flurfördermittels entweder nur an den Breitseiten oder nur an den Längsseiten der Palette. Eine Vierweg-Ausbildung gestattet eine Gabeleinführung an allen vier Seiten der Palette.Two-way training allows fork insertion of the industrial truck either only to the Broad sides or only on the long sides of the pallet. A Four-way training allows fork insertion on all four sides of the pallet.

Weiter sind auch Halbpaletten bekannt, die durch ein Halbieren des Längsmasses des Trägerabschnittes gebildet sind, das heisst, dass bezogen auf die beispielsweise genannten genormten Masse von 800 x 1200 mm eine Halbpalette Masse von 800 x 600 mm aufweist.Half-pallets are also known by halving the longitudinal dimension of the support section are formed, that is, based on the example mentioned standardized dimensions of 800 x 1200 mm has a half pallet size of 800 x 600 mm.

Die Masse bezüglich der Zinken der Gabeln von Hebe- und Fördermitteln, einschliesslich Handhubwagen sind ebenfalls festgelegt, insbesondere der Abstand zwischen den Zinken, also zwischen den einander zugekehrten Zinkenrändern, und der Abstand zwischen den äusseren, voneinander entgegengesetzt angeordneten Zinkenrändern.The mass in relation to the tines of the forks of Lifting and conveying equipment, including hand pallet trucks are also specified, especially the distance between the tines, that is, between the facing ones Tine edges, and the distance between the outer, Tine edges arranged opposite to each other.

In bezug auf die Gabeleinführung gibt es, wie oben erklärt ist, Zweiweg-Ausbildungen und Vierweg-Ausbildungen der Paletten. Dabei ist es vorwiegend der seitliche Raum zwischen den bisher bekannten Zwischenklötzen der Paletten, der bestimmt, ob die Gabeln des Hebe- und Fördermittels bei einer jeweiligen Seite in die Palette eingeführt werden können oder nicht. Insbesondere trifft dies bei Halbpaletten zu. Dieser seitliche Raum hängt vom seitlichen Mass dieser Zwischenklötze ab, die offensichtlich eine gewisse Festigkeit aufweisen müssen und demgemäss dimensioniert sind.In terms of fork insertion, there are how is explained above, two-way training and four-way training of the pallets. It is predominantly the lateral space between the previously known intermediate blocks the pallet that determines whether the forks of the lifting and conveying means on each side in the pallet can be inserted or not. In particular this applies to half pallets. This side Space depends on the lateral dimension of these intermediate blocks, which obviously have to have a certain strength and are dimensioned accordingly.

Kunststoffpaletten weisen den Vorteil auf, dass sie aus einem Material bestehen, welches kostengünstig und überdies recyclierbar ist. Jedoch stellen bekannte Zwischenklötze in bezug auf die freien seitlichen Räume der Palette zur Aufnahme der Gabelzinken aufgrund ihrer seitlichen Ausdehnung Begrenzungen dar, weil sie notgedrungen aus Festigkeitsgründen eine beträchtliche seitliche Ausdehnung aufweisen müssen.Plastic pallets have the advantage that they are made of a material that is inexpensive and is also recyclable. However, known ones Intermediate blocks in relation to the free side Spaces of the pallet to accommodate the forks their lateral extent represent limitations because they a considerable one for reasons of strength must have lateral expansion.

Ziel der Erfindung ist eine Palette zu schaffen, welche einen erhöhten seitlichen Raum zwischen dem Trägerabschnitt und den Kufen aufweist, damit mit den genormten Gabelaussenbreiten der gängigen Handhubwagen eingefahren werden kann.The aim of the invention is to create a pallet which has an increased lateral space between the Carrier section and the runners, thus with the standardized Fork outer widths of standard hand pallet trucks retracted can be.

Die erfindungsgemässe Palette, wie sie in den Ansprüchen gekennzeichnet ist, weist mindestens Füsse auf, die aus Metall bestehen.The range according to the invention, as in the Is characterized, has at least feet that are made of metal.

Da diese Füsse vorteilhaft die Form eines bügelförmigen Flachprofils aufweisen, also plattenförmig ausgebildet sein können, steht ein grösserer seitlicher Raum zur Aufnahme von Gabelzinken zur Verfügung.Because these feet are advantageous in the shape of a bow-shaped Have flat profile, so plate-shaped can be trained, there is a larger side Space to accommodate forks is available.

Diese bügel- bzw. plattenförmigen Füsse können nun entlang der Längsränder der rechteckigen Grundrissform verteilt angeordnet und in der Längsrichtung der Grundrissform ausgerichtet angeordnet sein. Damit ergibt sich offensichtlich ein grösserer seitlicher Raum für das Einführen von Gabelzinken in eine Palette. Währenddem bei Ganz-Paletten ein einfacheres Manövrieren eines Gabelstaplers zum Einführen der Gabel ermöglicht ist, also das Ausrichten der Gabelzinken bezüglich der Palette nicht mehr so präzise sein muss, sind nun bei Halbpaletten Vierweg-Ausbildungen erst möglich.These bow-shaped or plate-shaped feet can now along the longitudinal edges of the rectangular plan shape distributed and arranged in the longitudinal direction of the Floor plan to be arranged aligned. So that results there is obviously a larger side space for that Introducing forks into a pallet. While at Whole-pallets make maneuvering a forklift easier is possible to insert the fork, that is Do not align the forks with the pallet Half pallets are now more precise Four-way training is only possible.

Die Arme der bügelförmigen Füsse können somit vom Trägerabschnitt und den Kufenabschnitten derart umspritzt sein, dass ein jeweiliger Arm in einer der Kufen eingebettet und verankert ist.The arms of the bow-shaped feet can thus overmolded by the carrier section and the skid sections be that a respective arm in one of the runners is embedded and anchored.

Nachfolgend wird die Erfindung anhand der Zeichnungen beispielsweise näher erläutert:

Beispielsweise können die Füsse patiniert, verzinkt oder bromatisiert sein. 1-3 is one of the metal Feet 3 drawn. The metal is for example a steel sheet with a surface coating. For example, the feet can be patinated, galvanized or be brominated.

    Insbesondere liegen die aus Metall bestehenden Füsse 3 in Form eines bügelförmigen Flachprofiles vor, mit einem Schenkel 4 und abstehenden Armen 5, 6.In particular, there are those made of metal Feet 3 in the form of a bow-shaped flat profile in front, with one leg 4 and protruding arms 5, 6.

    In diesen Armen 5, 6 sind durchgehende Löcher 7 ausgebildet.Through holes 5, 6 are through holes 7 trained.

    Diese aus Metall bestehenden Füsse 3 sind entlang der Längsränder 9, 10 der rechteckigen Grundrissform der Palette verteilt angeordnet und in Längsrichtung der Grundrissform ausgerichtet angeordnet.These feet 3 are made of metal along the longitudinal edges 9, 10 of the rectangular plan shape the pallet is distributed and arranged lengthways aligned with the floor plan.

    Bei der gezeigten Ausführung sind weitere Füsse 8 und 13 vorhanden, die aus Kunststoff bestehen und hohlzylinderförmig ausgebildet sind. Der gegen die Palettenaussenseite weisende Oberflächenabschnitt der Füsse 8 weist 4eine halbkreisförmige Querschnittsform auf. An diesem Oberflächenabschnitt schliessen ebenflächige Oberflächenabschnitte an, welche ebenflächige Oberflächenabschnitte eine polygonförmige Querschnittsform mit senkrecht zueinander stehenden Wandteilen bestimmen.There are more in the version shown Feet 8 and 13 are made of plastic and are hollow cylindrical. The one against the outside of the pallet facing surface section of the feet 8 4 has a semicircular cross-sectional shape. On flat surface sections close this surface section which flat surface sections a polygonal cross-sectional shape with vertical Determine wall parts that are facing each other

    Die Füsse 8 haben somit aussen eine halbkreiszylinderförmige Querschnittsform, an welche eine quadratische Querschnittsform anschliesst. Der innere Fuss 13 weist eine quadratische Querschnittsform auf. Die Füsse 8 und 13 sind in einem Abstand von den Längsrändern 9, 10 angeordnet und sind insbesondere entlang der Längsmittellinie der Grundrissform der Palette verteilt angeordnet.The feet 8 thus have a semicircular cylindrical shape on the outside Cross-sectional shape to which a connects square cross-sectional shape. The inner one Foot 13 has a square cross-sectional shape. The Feet 8 and 13 are at a distance from the longitudinal edges 9, 10 are arranged and are in particular along the longitudinal center line the layout of the pallet is distributed.

    Die Herstellung der Palette erfolgt in einem Spritzgussverfahren. Die Füsse 3 werden in den entsprechenden Spritzgussformen eingesetzt und vom Kunststoff umspritzt. Da der Kunststoff die Löcher 7 durchdringt, werden die Füsse 3 im Kunststoff fest verankert.The pallet is manufactured in one Injection molding. The feet 3 are in the appropriate Injection molds used and made of plastic molded. Since the plastic penetrates the holes 7, the feet 3 are firmly anchored in the plastic.

    Betrachtet man die Figuren 5 und 6 wird ersichtlich, dass auch im Falle einer Halbpalette die Gabelzinken z.B. eines Handhubwagens nicht nur in Richtung des Pfeiles C in die Palette eingefahren werden können, sondern auch in Richtung des Pfeiles D, da nun aufgrund der plattenförmigen Füsse 3 ein genügend grosser seitlicher Raum unter dem Trägerabschnitt 1 zur Aufnahme der Gabelzinken vorhanden ist.If one looks at FIGS. 5 and 6, that even in the case of a half-pallet, the forks e.g. of a hand pallet truck not only in the direction arrow C can be inserted into the pallet, but also in the direction of arrow D because now due to the plate-shaped feet 3 a sufficiently large side Space under the support section 1 for receiving the Forks are present.

    Das Breitenmass einer Halbpalette beträgt 600 mm. Somit können die plattenförmigen Füsse eine maximale Dicke von 8 mm aufweisen, da 2 + 8 mm + 548 mm = 600 mm beträgt.The width of a half pallet is 600 mm. The plate-shaped feet can thus have a maximum Have a thickness of 8 mm, since 2 + 8 mm + 548 mm = 600 mm is.
