Abstract

Each element (1, 1') comprises a cross-piece (5, 5') from which three arms (2, 3, 4 - 2', 3', 4') depart, that is to say two side arms and a central arm, which comprises two small beams (20, 21, 20', 21') disposed side by side and whose cross-section is complementary when one element (1) is placed facing the other (1') whilst the side arms (3, 4) of one element (1) respectively engage in the other side arms (4', 3') of the second element (1').

Description

On sait que de pLus en plus, on stocke des objets à L'état isolé ou en nombre sur des palettes de manutention qui permettent un déplacement aisé des charges à L'aide d'un engin approprié tel qu'un chariot éLéva- teur ou un transpalette. We know that moreover, we store objects in an isolated state or in number on handling pallets that allow easy movement of loads using an appropriate machine such as a forklift or a pallet truck.

En fonction de certains impératifs, il existe des palettes de différentes dimensions que les utiLisateurs peuvent acquérir en fonction de leurs besoins. On comprend aisément que ces utilisateurs ne peuvent posséder un stock important de palettes de dimensions différentes dont certaines, qui sont peu utilisées, peuvent rester en stock pendant de longues périodes. L'utilisateur a donc à faire face à un double problème financier et matériel, puisqu'il doit immobiliser des capitaux pour posséder un nombre important de palettes et qu'en outre il n'est jamais sûr de posséder en stock les palettes des dimensions désirées. Depending on certain requirements, there are pallets of different dimensions that users can acquire according to their needs. It is easy to understand that these users cannot have a large stock of pallets of different dimensions, some of which, which are little used, can remain in stock for long periods. The user therefore has to face a double financial and material problem, since he must immobilize capital to possess a large number of pallets and that in addition he is never sure to have in stock the pallets of the desired dimensions .

Les perfectionnements qui font l'objet de la présente invention visent à remédier à ces inconvénients et à permettre la réalisation d'une palette extensible à laquelle on puisse affecter des dimensions correspondant à ceLLes de la plupart des palettes standard du commerce. The improvements which are the subject of the present invention aim to remedy these drawbacks and to allow the production of an expandable pallet to which dimensions corresponding to that of most standard commercial pallets can be assigned.

A cet effet, la palette suivant l'invention est constituée de deux éléments identiques moulés comportant des moyens d'emboîtement coulissants mâles et femelles et des moyens de verrouiLLage des deux éLéments emboîtés à différentes positions relatives l'un par rapport à L'autre. To this end, the pallet according to the invention consists of two identical molded elements comprising male and female sliding interlocking means and means for locking the two elements interlocked at different positions relative to each other.

Chaque élément comprend une traverse à partir de laquelle partent trois bras, deux latéraux et un central, lequel comporte deux poutrelLes disposées côte à côte dont la section est complémentaire lorsqu'un élément est placé en face de L'autre, tandis qu'alors L'un des bras Latéraux d'un éLément s'engage dans l'autre bras latéral du second élément. Each element comprises a crosspiece from which three arms, two lateral and a central one, which comprises two beams arranged side by side whose section is complementary when an element is placed opposite the other, while then L one of the lateral arms of one element engages in the other lateral arm of the second element.

Chaque élément de la palette suivant l'invention est réalisé préférablement par moulage par injection d'une matière plastique appropriée, de manière que son prix de revient soit minimaL. Each element of the pallet according to the invention is preferably produced by injection molding of an appropriate plastic material, so that its cost price is minimum.

Le dessin annexé, donné à titre d'exemple, permettra de mieux comprendre l'invention, Les caractéristiques qu'elle présente et Les avantages qu'elle est susceptibLe de procurer :
Fig. 1 est une vue écLatée en perspective des deux éLéments constituant une paLette de manutention réaLisée conformément à l'inven- tion.
The appended drawing, given by way of example, will allow a better understanding of the invention, the characteristics which it presents and the advantages which it is likely to provide:
Fig. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the two elements constituting a handling pallet produced in accordance with the invention.

Fig. 2 est une coupe suivant II-II (fig. 1 et 3). Fig. 2 is a section along II-II (fig. 1 and 3).

Fig. 3 et 4 sont des vues de dessus de la palette suivant l'invention à L'état monté, respectivement en position d'extension maximaLe et complètement repliée. On a rappelé en II-II (fig. 3) Le pLan de coupe de fig. 2. Fig. 3 and 4 are top views of the pallet according to the invention in the assembled state, respectively in the maximum extension position and completely folded. We recalled in II-II (fig. 3) The cutting plan of fig. 2.

Fig. 5 est une coupe suivant V-V (fig. 4). Fig. 5 is a section along V-V (fig. 4).

La palette suivant l'invention illustrée en fig. 1 est essentiellement composée de deux éléments 1, 1' strictement identiques et qui comportent des moyens d'emboîtement coulissants mâles et femelles. Ceux-ci sont réalisés au moyen de trois bras respectivement un bras central 2, un bras latéral ou coulisse mâle 3 et un autre bras latéral ou glissière femelle 4. Ces trois bras sont solidaires d'une traverse 5 à partirde la quelleils s'étendent dans des directions perpendiculaires à elle-même. The pallet according to the invention illustrated in FIG. 1 is essentially composed of two elements 1, 1 ′ which are strictly identical and which include male and female sliding interlocking means. These are made by means of three arms respectively a central arm 2, a lateral arm or male slide 3 and another lateral arm or female slide 4. These three arms are integral with a crosspiece 5 from which they extend in directions perpendicular to itself.

les extrémités des bras 2 et 4 sont reliées à la traverse 5 au moyen d'un profilé oblique 6, respectivement 7 qui rigidifie l'ensemble. Le bras central 2 comporte deux poutrelles 20, 21 (fig. 2) parallèles déterminant entre elles un espace vide 22. Les poutrelles 20 et 21 affectent chacune la forme d'un U, la première étant ouverte vers le bas, tandis que La seconde est ouverte vers le haut. L'espace intérieur des deux poutrelles est pourvu de cloisons transversales dont seules celles 21a de la poutrelle 21 ont été représentées.the ends of the arms 2 and 4 are connected to the cross-member 5 by means of an oblique profile 6, respectively 7 which stiffens the assembly. The central arm 2 has two parallel beams 20, 21 (fig. 2) determining between them an empty space 22. The beams 20 and 21 each have the shape of a U, the first being open downwards, while the second is open up. The interior space of the two beams is provided with transverse partitions of which only those 21a of the beam 21 have been shown.

L'ai Le verticale extérieure par rapport à L'espace 22 de la poutrelle 20 est formée de deux parois 20a, 20b, cette dernière étant décalée vers l'extérieur par rapport à l'espace 22. Ces deux parois 20a, 20b déterminent une paroi horizontale 20c dont la distance à La base du bras 2 a été référencéeb. De manière semblable, l'aile de la poutrelle 21 adjacente à l'espace 22 est formée de deux parois 21b, 21c, cette dernière étant déportée transversalement à l'intérieur de la poutrelle considérée. Les parois 21b et 21c déterminent une paroi horizontale 21d dont la distance à la base du bras 2 a été référencée dl. La distance dl est prévue supérieure à celle b pour des raisons qu'on expliquera mieux plus loin. The outer vertical with respect to the space 22 of the beam 20 is formed by two walls 20a, 20b, the latter being offset towards the outside with respect to the space 22. These two walls 20a, 20b determine a horizontal wall 20c whose distance to the base of the arm 2 has been referencedb. Similarly, the wing of the beam 21 adjacent to the space 22 is formed by two walls 21b, 21c, the latter being offset transversely inside the beam considered. The walls 21b and 21c determine a horizontal wall 21d whose distance from the base of the arm 2 has been referenced dl. The distance dl is expected to be greater than that b for reasons which will be explained better below.

Le bras 3 ou coulisse mâle est constitué d'un élément creux comportant deux entailles longitudinales 30 et 31 ménagées dans les deux faces verticales de ladite coulisse en vue de constituer deux nervures longitudinales 32, 33 bordant les entailles 30, 31. On observe que la face supérieure de la coulisse 3 est pourvue d'encoches transversales 34 dont
Le rôle sera mieux expliqué plus loin.
The arm 3 or male slide consists of a hollow element comprising two longitudinal notches 30 and 31 formed in the two vertical faces of said slide in order to constitute two longitudinal ribs 32, 33 bordering the notches 30, 31. It can be observed that the upper face of the slide 3 is provided with transverse notches 34 of which
The role will be better explained later.

Le troisième bras ou glissière femelle 4 est constitué de deux profilés 40, 41 séparés par un espace 42. Le profilé 40 affecte la forme d'un U ouvert vers le bas dont l'aile verticale intérieure, c'est-à-dire celle adjacente à L'espace 42, est réalisée au moyen de deux parois décalées 40a, 40b déterminant entre elles une rainure longitudinale 40c tournée vers Le haut à L'intérieur de l'espace 42. Le profilé 41 affecte en section transversale la forme d'un U ouvert vers le bas dont l'aile adjacente à l'espace 42 est associée dans sa partie haute à une baguette creuse 41a dans La face inférieure de laquelle est creusée une rainure
Longitudinale 41b tournée vers Le bas. Dans le profilé 41 est ménagée une entaille 41c dans laqueLle est disposé un étrier 8 pivotant autour d'un axe Longitudinal par rapport à La glissière 4.
The third female arm or slide 4 is made up of two sections 40, 41 separated by a space 42. The section 40 assumes the shape of a U open towards the bottom, the inner vertical wing of which is to say that adjacent to the space 42, is produced by means of two offset walls 40a, 40b determining between them a longitudinal groove 40c turned upwards inside the space 42. The profile 41 affects in cross section the shape of a U open downwards, the wing adjacent to the space 42 is associated in its upper part with a hollow rod 41a in the underside of which a groove is dug
Longitudinal 41b turned downwards. In the section 41, a notch 41c is formed in the lacquer. A stirrup 8 is pivoted about a longitudinal axis relative to the slide 4.

Bien entendu, l'épaisseur de la traverse 5 est inférieure à la hauteur des bras 2, 3, 4 de manière qu'au droit de cette traverse ces derniers forment des pieds déterminant entre eux des parties vides 9, 10 comme on l'expliquera mieux plus loin. Of course, the thickness of the crosspiece 5 is less than the height of the arms 2, 3, 4 so that at the right of this crosspiece the latter form feet determining between them empty parts 9, 10 as will be explained better further.

Les dimensions et la structure du bras 2, de la coulisse 3 et de la glissière 4 sont telles que lorsqu'on place un second élément 1' en visà-vis d'un autre 1, les poutrelles 20, 21 du bras central 2, la coulisse mâLe 3 du second élément et La glissière femelle 4 de ce dernier s' em- boitent de manière coulissante pour constituer une palette unique référencée 11 et dont les dimensions peuvent varier en fonction de la position relative des bras des deux éléments. Sur les dessins, les composants du second éLément 1' ont été référencés par Les mêmes chiffres que ceux de L'élément 1 en y ajoutant Le signe ' .On observe que les étriers 8 et 8' des éléments 1, 1' peuvent s'engager dans Les encoches 34', 34 des éléments 1', 1 respectivement, pour verrouiller les deux éLéments l'un par rapport à L'autre dans la position désirée. The dimensions and structure of the arm 2, of the slide 3 and of the slide 4 are such that when a second element 1 ′ is placed opposite another 1, the beams 20, 21 of the central arm 2, the male slide 3 of the second element and the female slide 4 of the latter slide together to form a single pallet referenced 11 and the dimensions of which can vary depending on the relative position of the arms of the two elements. In the drawings, the components of the second element 1 'have been referenced by the same figures as those of element 1 by adding the sign'. We observe that the stirrups 8 and 8 'of elements 1, 1' can be engage in the notches 34 ′, 34 of the elements 1 ′, 1 respectively, to lock the two elements one with respect to the other in the desired position.

On a illustré en fig. 5 Les emboîtements des bras 2, 3, 4 de L'été ment 1 avec ceux correspondants de L'élément 1' conformément à la coupe
V-V réalisée en fig. 4. On constate que Les nervures 32, 33 de la coulisse mâle 3 de L'élément 1 s'engagent à l'intérieur des rainures 40c et 41b de la glissière femelle 4' de l'élément 1' et vice versa. La poutrelle 21' de ce dernier vient coopérer au moyen de ses parois 21 'b, 21'c, 21'd avec les parois correspondantes 20a, 2Ob, 20c de La poutrelle 20 de l'élément 1, tandis que la poutreLle 20' de l'élément 1' vient s'engager dans L'espace 22 du premier élément de façon que ses parois 20'a , 20'b, 20'c coopèrent avec celles 21b, 21 c, 21d de la poutrelle 21 de l'éLément 1. Cet emboîtement est possible du fait que la distance bl est supérieure à ceLle d, comme parfaitement bien illustré en fig. 5.
Illustrated in fig. 5 The sockets of arms 2, 3, 4 of Summer 1 with those corresponding to Element 1 'in accordance with the section
VV performed in fig. 4. It can be seen that the ribs 32, 33 of the male slide 3 of the element 1 engage inside the grooves 40c and 41b of the female slide 4 'of the element 1' and vice versa. The beam 21 'of the latter cooperates by means of its walls 21' b, 21'c, 21'd with the corresponding walls 20a, 2Ob, 20c of the beam 20 of the element 1, while the beam 20 ' of the element 1 'engages in the space 22 of the first element so that its walls 20'a, 20'b, 20'c cooperate with those 21b, 21c, 21d of the beam 21 of the element 1. This nesting is possible because the distance bl is greater than that d, as perfectly well illustrated in FIG. 5.

Cette coopération des bras des deux éléments en position emboîtée assure l'appui latéraL de ces bras en déterminant seulement des jeux fonctionnels.This cooperation of the arms of the two elements in the nested position provides lateral support for these arms by determining only functional clearances.

Il va de soi que les parties vides 9, 10, 9', 10' des deux éléments 1, 1' permettent le passage de la fourche d'un engin de manutention. It goes without saying that the empty parts 9, 10, 9 ', 10' of the two elements 1, 1 'allow the passage of the fork of a handling machine.

On a ainsi réalisé une palette de manutention à dimensions variables comportant deux éléments strictement identiques utilisés face à face. A handling pallet with variable dimensions was thus produced comprising two strictly identical elements used face to face.
