Definitions
- the invention relates to a pallet for storage or transport of articles or materials as defined in the preamble of independent claim 1 comprising a base member having a first surface for supporting articles or material, a second surface, and at least one lateral side.
- WO 2008/129137 presents a universal chassis for attaching goods, such as a product, a box, a rack, or a structural element.
- the universal chassis has a base part, to which one or several following fastening elements have been connected either detachably and/or fixedly: a mounting slot, fastening rail, fastening edge, fastening lid, side fastening element in the lateral plane of the universal chassis, intermediate fastening part, which can be attached to the goods and the universal chassis.
- WO 2004/087513 presents a material handling container used for curing blocks of cheese that are vacuum packed.
- the container includes a pallet type base with a smooth platform and a plurality of side panels.
- the side panels have locking members and the locking members are inserted in apertures.
- GB 2 213 798 presents a collapsible container that comprises a base with slots there through, two opposing side walls presenting elements to be engaged in the slots to interlock the side walls against vertical displacement relative to the base and two end walls, which present elements to be engaged in openings in the base and which lock the end walls with the base.
- the object of the invention is to provide a pallet for storage or transport of articles or materials which allows using of various kinds of wall members i.e. wall types which are supported in an essentially upright position at and by the base member of the pallet.
- the pallet of the invention is characterized by the definitions of independent claim 1.
- the invention is based on proving the first surface of the base member with first apertures for receiving a first part of a first wall member of a first type, which first wall member of a first type is to be supported in an essentially upright position at the base member and by the base member, and by providing the first surface of the base member with second apertures for receiving a second part of a second wall member of a second type, wherein said second type is different from said first type and wherein said second wall member of the second type is to be supported in an essentially upright position at the base member and by the base member.
- the first apertures are preferably, but not necessarily, in the form of holes which have a round cross-shape and which are configured for receiving a first part of a first wall member, which first part has a corresponding round cross-shape.
- the second apertures are preferably, but not necessarily, in the form of elongated slots configured for receiving a second part of a second wall member, which second part has a flat or sheet-like configuration and wherein the second wall member is made of sheet-like material such as cardboard, plastic cardboard, paperboard, corrugated fiberboard or the like.
- the base member is preferably in the form of a rectangle so that the base member has four lateral sides and four corners, each provided with a corner component.
- the base member is preferably in the form of a rectangle so that the base member has four lateral sides and four corners, each provided with a corner component that is provided with a first aperture for receiving a first part of a first wall member of a first type and with a second aperture for receiving a second part of a second wall member of a second type.
- the base member is preferably in the form of a rectangle so that the base member has four lateral sides and four corners, each provided with a corner component that is provided with a wheel.
- each of the four first apertures is provided with first locking means for locking a first wall member of a first type to the base member of the pallet.
- the base member is preferably in the form of a rectangle so that the base member has four lateral sides and four corners, each provided with a corner component.
- the base member of the pallet comprises a base component such as a board component.
- the base component may for example be made of wood such as plywood, metal, polymer or combinations of these materials.
