Definitions
- the present invention relates to a transport assembly with which products can be transported, for instance retail trade products in the food sector which are transported between the manufacturer, the distributor and retail trader, and raw materials/components in industry which are transported between a warehouse and a production location.
- the pallets are taken out of the truck, for instance using a forklift truck, for further distribution. If the composition of products on a pallet corresponds to the requirement of the retail trader, the relevant pallet is then loaded into a truck for transport to the retail trader. In other cases the products on a pallet are divided over other pallets prior to transport, wherein the composition of products then meets the requirements of the retail trader.
- pallets are again taken out of the truck using forklift trucks or pallet trucks.
- the packed products can then be removed from the packaging and placed in racks on the retail premises so that customers can remove them from the rack when making their purchases.
- the products packed in boxes or on boards are not placed in racks, but placed in the shop in the packaged state, after which the customers take the articles out of the packaging, or take away whole packages at a time.
- pallets having thereon the products packed in boxes or on boards are set down in the packed state in the shop, for instance by means of a pallet truck.
- the transport assembly comprises a number of carriers, a number of pallets therefor, and displacing means for displacing the pallets and carriers, wherein each carrier comprises a carrying base and a number of feet arranged thereon, and wherein each pallet comprises upward protruding carrier supports which define a support surface for supporting the carrying base of a number of carriers, and downward protruding pallet supports which define a support surface for supporting the pallet on a ground surface, wherein a space is free in lateral direction between the pallet supports for the insertion of lift forks, wherein the space between the pallet supports is at least partially closed on the top side by means of carrying elements, and wherein the space between the pallet supports is wholly open on the underside.
- a passage is free in at least one lateral direction between the pallet supports for the insertion of lift forks, wherein the passage is at least partially closed on the top side by means of carrying elements, and wherein the passage is at least partially closed on the underside by means of anti-tip elements.
- the space comprises the passage.
- the carrier supports and the pallet supports comprise elongate elements. This makes it possible for the pallet supports and the carrier supports to contribute toward the stiffness of the pallet, and thus realize a pallet which is simple to manufacture and has a great stiffness. This has the advantage that the transport assembly can have a low cost.
- the carrier supports and the pallet supports comprise elongate elements
- the elongate elements of the carrier supports are oriented transversely relative to the elongate elements of the pallet supports. This makes it possible to realize a pallet which is simple to manufacture and has a great stiffness in two directions lying transversely of each other.
- the carrying elements comprise the elongate elements of the carrier supports. This measure enables a further simplification of the pallet.
- the elongate elements of the carrier supports are oriented transversely relative to the elongate elements of the pallet supports
- the elongate elements of the carrier supports are oriented parallel to the elongate elements of the pallet supports.
- a passage is free in at least one lateral direction between the pallet supports for the insertion of lift forks and wherein the carrier supports and the pallet supports comprise elongate elements, recesses in the elongate elements of the pallet supports form at least a part of the passage.
- space is free in lateral direction between the carrier supports for the insertion of lift forks. This measure makes it possible, using for instance a forklift truck, to place on or remove from the pallet one, or more than one carrier.
- the pallet is of the type with recesses for vertical passage of parts of the displacing means. This measure makes it possible to allow displacing means to engage on the carriers vertically through the recess of the pallet in order to lift them clear of the pallet and for further discharge, for instance to a conveyor belt or into transport rails in a truck.
- the recesses are situated at least at the position of the feet of the carriers disposed on the pallet. This measure makes it possible to lift the carriers under the feet thereof and subsequently push them off the pallet on their own feet.
- the basic shape of the pallet is the same as that of a number of carriers placed against each other. This measure makes it possible for carriers to cover the whole surface defined by the pallet. This has the advantage that a minimal space is occupied when a number of pallets are placed adjacently of each other.
- the feet are wheels. This measure makes it possible to roll off the carriers in simple manner.
- the invention also relates to a pallet for the purpose of forming the above discussed transport assembly.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an embodiment of a transport assembly according to the invention in use, wherein the displacing means take the form of displacing blocks;
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the transport assembly of figure 1 in use, wherein the displacing means take the form of a forklift truck;
- FIG. 4 is a perspective view of the pallet of the transport assembly of figure 1;
- FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a first alternative embodiment of the pallet of figure 4.
- FIG. 6 is a perspective view of a second alternative embodiment of the pallet of figure 4.
- FIG. 7 is a perspective view of a third alternative embodiment of the pallet of figure 4.
- Figure 1 shows a transport assembly 1.
- the shown transport assembly 1 consists of two carriers in the form of so-called dollies 2a, 2b (of which dolly 2b is shown in transparent view) , a pallet 3 therefor and displacing means in the form of displacing blocks 4 for the purpose of displacing dollies 2a, 2b.
- Each dolly 2a, 2b consists of a carrying base 5 and a number of feet arranged thereon in the form of wheels 6.
- Pallet 3 is shown with upward protruding carrier supports 7 which define a support surface for the purpose of supporting carrying base 5 of dollies 2a, 2b.
- the basic shape of pallet 3 is the same as that of four dollies placed against each other, of which only two dollies 2a, 2b are shown.
- Pallet 3 is also shown with downward protruding pallet supports 8 which define a support surface for the. purpose of supporting pallet 3 on a ground surface.
- a space 9 is free in the lateral direction A between pallet supports 8 for the insertion of lift forks (not shown) .
- the space 9 between pallet supports 8 is partially closed on the top side by means of carrying elements formed by the pallet support planks 10 and carrier supports 7 on which the lift forks can engage.
- the space 9 between pallet supports 8 is wholly open on the underside.
- Passages 11 are free in the lateral direction B between pallet supports 8 for the insertion of lift forks (not shown) . Passages 11 are partially closed on the top side by means of the pallet support planks 10. Passages 11 are partially closed on the underside by means of anti-tip elements in the form of planks 12. These planks 12 also prevent the pallet tipping over when for instance a number of loaded pallets are stacked onto each other, or when a number of empty pallets are stacked onto each other. Planks 12 then provide an additional support surface.
- Two spaces 13 are free in the lateral direction B between carrier supports 7 for the insertion of lift forks.
- Pallet 3 is also shown with recesses 14 for vertical passage of parts 4a of displacing blocks 4. These recesses 14 are situated at the position of wheels 6 of dollies 2a, 2b disposed on pallet 3.
- the basic shape of pallet 3 is the same as that of four dollies placed against each other, of which only two dollies 2a, 2b are shown.
- Figure IA shows that carrying bases 5 of dollies 2a, 2b are supported by the upward protruding carrier supports 7 of pallet 3.
- the dollies 2a, 2b can be displaced together.
- pallet 3 with dollies 2a, 2b thereon from this situation onto displacing blocks 4 in vertical direction, i.e. in the direction of arrow C recesses 14 allow passage of the upward protruding parts 4a of displacing blocks 4. Because these recesses 14 are situated at the position of wheels 6 of the dollies 2a, 2b disposed on pallet 3, the upward protruding parts 4a of displacing blocks 4 engage wheels 6 of dollies 2a, 2b and dollies 2a, 2b are moved clear of pallet 3. This creates the situation as shown in figure IB. From this situation the dollies 2a, 2b can be rolled away individually in the direction of arrow C.
- pallet supports 8 take the form of L-shaped elongate elements, a part of the space 9 between pallet supports 8 remains free as shown in figure IB, so that when pallet 3 is placed on displacing blocks 4 lift forks or the like can be placed in space 9, while the pallet support planks 10 form together with displacing blocks 4a a surface over which dollies 2a, 2b can be displaced.
- Figure 2 shows transport assembly 1 of figure 1, wherein the displacing means are in the form of a forklift truck 15 with lift forks 16.
- the displacing means are in the form of a forklift truck 15 with lift forks 16.
- FIG 2A carrying base 5 of dollies 2a, 2b supports on lift forks 16.
- Figure 3 shows that, once the forklift truck has placed the pallet with dollies 2a, 2b thereon at a specific location from the situation as shown in figure 2B, pallet 3 with dollies 2a, 2b thereon can be further transported in simple manner by means of a pallet truck 17.
- Lift forks 18 of pallet truck 17 are inserted in lateral direction H into the space 9 between pallet supports 8.
- lift forks 18 of pallet truck 17, which are provided with wheels on the underside can be inserted unimpeded into space 9, and pallet 3 with dollies 2a, 2b thereon can then be lifted up and transported.
- the lift forks 18 are brought into contact with pallet support planks 10 and/or carrier supports 7.
- Figure 4 shows the pallet of assembly 1 of figures 1-3.
- Pallet 3 is shown with upward protruding carrier supports 7 and downward protruding pallet supports 8 in the form of elongate elements.
- the elongate elements of carrier supports 7 are oriented transversely relative to the elongate elements of pallet supports 8.
- the elongate elements impart stiffness to pallet 3.
- the elongate elements also serve as carrier supports and pallet supports, whereby pallet 3 takes a very simple form.
- a space 9 is moreover realized between these elongate elements which is free for the insertion of lift forks (not shown) in lateral direction A between pallet supports 8.
- the height hi of the elongate elements of carrier supports 7 and the height h2 of the elongate elements of pallet supports 8 here determine for instance not only the stiffness of the pallet, but also the insertion height for lift forks.
- pallet 3 as shown in figure 4 the space 9 between pallet supports 8 is partially closed on the top side by means of pallet support planks 10 of the elongate elements of pallet supports 8 and by the elongate elements of carrier supports 7.
- the space 9 between the elongate elements of pallet supports 8 is wholly open on the underside.
- passages 11 are free in the lateral direction B between pallet supports 8 for the insertion of lift forks (not shown) .
- Passages 11 are partially closed on the top side by means of pallet support planks 10.
- Passages 11 are partially closed on the underside by means of anti-tip elements in the form of planks 12.
- Openings 19 in the elongate elements of pallet supports 8 form a part of passages 11.
- Figure 6 also shows an alternative embodiment of pallet 3 of figure 4.
- This pallet 3 is also shown with upward protruding carrier supports 7 and downward protruding pallet supports 8 in the form of elongate elements .
- the elongate elements of carrier supports 7 are oriented transversely relative to the elongate elements of pallet supports 8.
- This pallet 3 is shown with one space 9 which is free for the insertion of lift forks (not shown) in lateral direction A between pallet supports 8 and one space 14 which is free for the insertion of lift forks in lateral direction B between carrier supports 7.
- Space 9 is formed by means of two L-shaped elongate elements of pallet supports 8. In this pallet 3 one passage 11 is free in lateral direction B between pallet supports 8 for the insertion of lift forks (not shown) .
- Passage 11 is partially closed on the top side by means of pallet support planks 10. Passage 11 is partially closed on the underside by means of anti-tip elements in the form of planks 12. Openings 19 in the elongate elements of pallet supports 8 form a part of passage 11.
- Figure 7 shows an alternative embodiment of pallet 3 of figure 4.
- This pallet 3 is also shown with upward protruding carrier supports 7 and downward protruding pallet supports 8 in the form of elongate elements.
- the elongate elements of carrier supports 7 are oriented parallel to the elongate elements of pallet supports 8.
- This pallet 3 is shown with two spaces 9 which are free for the insertion of lift forks (not shown) in lateral direction A between pallet supports 8 and two spaces 14 which are free for the insertion of lift forks in the same lateral direction A between carrier supports 7.
- This pallet 3 does not have the passages 11 of pallet 3 of figure 4.
- Pallets are shown in the figures wherein the insertion direction of passage 11 is oriented transversely relative to the insertion direction of space 9 between pallet supports 8.
- the insertion direction of passage 11 could also be the same as the insertion direction of space 9 between pallet supports 8 if for instance the space 9 between pallet supports 8 comprises the passage.
- the passage can then take the form of for instance a collapsible bracket situated in space 9 between pallet supports 8.
- the space 9 could also be partially closed on the underside by means of a plank forming an anti-tip element and in releasable form for the purpose of temporarily forming passage 11.
- the elongate elements of the pallet supports in the figures take an L-shaped form.
- the elongate elements of the pallet supports can also take a different form.
- the carrier supports could also be L-shaped.
- the carriers are shown in the figures as dollies.
- the carriers can for instance also be rolling containers.
- the carrier can also have no wheels, but for instance legs.
