Description
Palette de manutention en un matériau semi-rigide tel que le carton ondulé et caisses-palettes comportant de telles palettes. Pallet handling in a semi-rigid material such as corrugated cardboard and pallet boxes comprising such pallets.
La présente invention concerne une palette de manutention en un matériau semi-rigide tel que le carton ondulé. The present invention relates to a handling pallet made of a semi-rigid material such as corrugated cardboard.
L'invention concerne également des caisses-palettes comportant de telles palettes. The invention also relates to pallet boxes comprising such pallets.
Dans sa demande de brevet français n095.01111, du 31 Janvier 1995, la Demanderesse a décrit une palette de manutention en carton ondulé ou similaire, comprenant un panneau supérieur, apte à supporter des objets à manipuler, un panneau inférieur, parallèle au précédent et destiné à reposer sur le sol ou sur un support, et des éléments intercalaires réunissant les deux panneaux, cette palette étant caractérisée en ce que les éléments intercalaires sont constitués par, ou comprennent, des volets découpés dans les deux panneaux et articulés sur ceux-ci par des lignes de pliage, les volets attenants à chaque plaque étant redressés perpendiculairement à celle-ci en direction de l'autre plaque et étant rendus solidaire des volets correspondants attenants à cette autre plaque et dressés perpendiculairement à celle-ci par collage ou agrafage mutuel, ou encore par collage ou agrafage sur un organe auxiliaire telle qu'une ceinture, en carton ondulé ou similaire. In its French patent application no. 95.01111, of January 31, 1995, the Applicant described a handling pallet made of corrugated cardboard or the like, comprising an upper panel, capable of supporting objects to be handled, a lower panel, parallel to the previous one and intended to rest on the ground or on a support, and intermediate elements joining the two panels, this pallet being characterized in that the intermediate elements consist of, or include, shutters cut from the two panels and articulated on them by folding lines, the flaps adjoining each plate being straightened perpendicularly thereto in the direction of the other plate and being made integral with the corresponding flaps adjoining this other plate and erected perpendicular thereto by gluing or mutual stapling , or by gluing or stapling on an auxiliary member such as a belt, in corrugated cardboard or the like.
Une palette de ce type est particulièrement simple, puisqu'elle ne fait appel qu'à deux plaques sensiblement identiques, dont les volets, après mise en forme, sont appliqués les uns contre les autres, ou éventuellement contre des organes auxiliaires en forme de ceinture, et sont rendus solidaires entre eux ou de cette ceinture par collage ou agrafage. A pallet of this type is particularly simple, since it uses only two substantially identical plates, the flaps of which, after shaping, are applied against each other, or possibly against auxiliary members in the form of a belt. , and are made integral with each other or with this belt by gluing or stapling.
Les bords latéraux du panneau supérieur et du panneau inférieur de la palette précitée peuvent être, sur toute leur longueur, des bords francs, résultant du tranchage du matériau semi-rigide et laissant en tout point de la périphérie de la palette un accès libre à l'espace séparant les deux panneaux. The lateral edges of the upper panel and the lower panel of the aforementioned pallet may be, over their entire length, straight edges, resulting from the cutting of the semi-rigid material and leaving any point of the periphery of the pallet free access to the space separating the two panels.
En variante, des volets attenants à chacun des deux panneaux, en des emplacements correspondants, et articulés sur ceux-ci par des lignes de pliage disposées suivant leurs bords latéraux, peuvent être dressés perpendiculairement à chaque panneau en direction de l'autre panneau et rendus solidaires par collage ou agrafage des volets correspondants de l'autre panneau. De tels volets peuvent en particulier être prévus en position contiguë, suivant deux côtés perpendiculaires, aux quatre coins de la palette, pour renforcer celle-ci en ces emplacements, et, entre les coins, en un emplacement de chaque côté, pour ne laisser subsister en des positions correspondantes suivant deux côtés opposés, que deux intervalles libres, correspondant aux espaces séparant les éléments intercalaires, pour y introduire deux dents d'une fourche d'un engin de manutention. As a variant, flaps adjoining each of the two panels, at corresponding locations, and articulated on these by fold lines arranged along their lateral edges, can be erected perpendicular to each panel in the direction of the other panel and rendered joined together by gluing or stapling the corresponding flaps of the other panel. Such flaps may in particular be provided in contiguous position, along two perpendicular sides, at the four corners of the pallet, to reinforce the latter in these locations, and, between the corners, in a location on each side, so as not to allow it to remain in corresponding positions along two opposite sides, that two free intervals, corresponding to the spaces separating the intermediate elements, for introducing two teeth of a fork of a handling machine.
Les flans de carton ondulé prédécoupés et refoulés (pré-pliés) dont sont issus les panneaux et les volets attenants peuvent être identiques, et leur assemblage s'effectue alors en jouant sur la relative souplesse du carton ondulé, soit sensiblement identiques, à de légères variantes dimensionnelles près, permettant de les assembler sans solliciter le carton ondulé. The blanks of corrugated cardboard pre-cut and turned (pre-folded) from which the panels and adjoining flaps may be identical, and their assembly is then carried out by playing on the relative flexibility of the corrugated cardboard, ie substantially identical, to slight dimensional variations, allowing them to be assembled without using corrugated cardboard.
Les palettes du carton ondulé de ce type, brevetées et fabriquées par la Demanderesse, se révèlent particulièrement résistantes et elles ont suscité un grand intérêt dans la technique. Corrugated cardboard pallets of this type, patented and manufactured by the Applicant, prove to be particularly resistant and they have aroused great interest in the technique.
En poursuivant ses travaux, la Demanderesse a été amenée à concevoir divers perfectionnements apportés à ces palettes. While continuing its work, the Applicant has been led to design various improvements made to these pallets.
L'invention a par conséquent pour objet une palette de manutention en carton ondulé ou similaire, du type comprenant un panneau supérieur, apte à supporter des objets à manipuler, un panneau inférieur, parallèle au précédent et destiné à reposer sur le sol ou sur un support, et des éléments intercalaires réunissant les deux panneaux, ces éléments intercalaires étant constitués par des premiers volets découpés dans les deux panneaux et articulés sur ceux-ci par des lignes de pliage parallèles, les volets attenants à chaque panneau étant redressés perpendiculairement à celui-ci en direction de l'autre panneau et étant rendus solidaires par collage ou agrafage des volets correspondants attenants à cet autre panneau et dressés perpendiculairement à celui-ci, chaque panneau comportant suivant ses bords latéraux des seconds volets articulés par des lignes de pliage confondues avec les dits bords latéraux des panneaux, ces seconds volets étant dressés perpendiculairement au panneau associé et étant disposés de façon telle qu'ils puissent venir s'appliquer contre les volets correspondants de l'autre panneau, dont ils sont rendus solidaires par collage ou agrafage, les premiers et seconds volets étant disposés dans des positions relatives telles qu'ils laissent subsister entre le panneau supérieur et le panneau inférieur deux espaces aptes à recevoir, à partir d'au moins deux bords parallèles de ces panneaux, deux dents d'une fourche d'un engin de manutention, cette palette étant caractérisée en ce que l'un des panneaux a des dimensions latérales supérieures à celles de l'autre panneau, de manière que les seconds volets attenants au panneau de dimensions supérieures puissent venir s'appliquer sans effort à l'extérieur des seconds volets de l'autre panneau, tandis que les lignes d'articulation de chacun des premiers volets de l'un des panneaux destiné à former chaque élément intercalaire sont séparées par une distance telle que ces premiers volets viennent s'appliquer sans effort contre les premiers volets correspondants de l'autre plateau. The invention therefore relates to a handling pallet made of corrugated cardboard or the like, of the type comprising an upper panel, capable of supporting objects to be handled, a lower panel, parallel to the previous one and intended to rest on the ground or on a support, and intermediate elements joining the two panels, these intermediate elements being constituted by first flaps cut in the two panels and articulated on these by parallel fold lines, the flaps adjoining each panel being straightened perpendicular to it- ci in the direction of the other panel and being made integral by gluing or stapling of the corresponding flaps adjoining this other panel and erected perpendicular thereto, each panel having along its lateral edges second flaps articulated by fold lines merged with the said side edges of the panels, these second flaps being drawn up ndicularly to the associated panel and being arranged in such a way that they can come to bear against the corresponding flaps of the other panel, of which they are made integral by gluing or stapling, the first and second flaps being arranged in relative positions such that they leave between the upper panel and the lower panel two spaces capable of receiving, from at least two parallel edges of these panels, two teeth of a fork of a handling machine, this pallet being characterized in that one of the panels has lateral dimensions greater than those of the other panel, so that the second flaps adjoining the panel of larger dimensions can be applied without effort outside the second flaps of the other panel, while the articulation lines of each of the first flaps of one of the panels intended to form each intermediate element are separated by a dist ance such that these first flaps are applied effortlessly against the first corresponding flaps of the other plate.
Autrement dit, les deux plateaux auront des dimensions telles et les premiers volets seront disposés sur chaque panneau en des positions telles, que, lorsque les premiers et les seconds volets sont dressés perpendiculairement à ces plateaux, les structures ainsi réalisées s'emboîtent les unes dans les autres, les seconds volets et les premiers volets de chacun des plateaux venant s'appliquer sensiblement, sans exercer aucun effort, contre les volets correspondants de l'autre plateau. In other words, the two plates will have such dimensions and the first flaps will be arranged on each panel in positions such that, when the first and the second flaps are erected perpendicular to these plates, the structures thus produced fit together in the others, the second flaps and the first flaps of each of the plates coming to apply substantially, without exerting any force, against the corresponding flaps of the other plate.
La fabrication des palettes conformes à l'invention en sera ainsi grandement facilitée, puisqu'il suffira d'enduire de colle au moins l'une des faces des volets correspondants appelées à venir en contact mutuel, préalablement à l'emboîtement de l'une des structures dans l'autre, pour solidariser de façon simple les deux structures. The manufacture of pallets according to the invention will thus be greatly facilitated, since it will suffice to coat with glue at least one of the faces of the corresponding flaps called to come into mutual contact, prior to the fitting of one structures in the other, to simply join the two structures.
Dans une forme de réalisation avantageuse, les seconds volets attenants au panneau de plus grandes dimensions auront une hauteur supérieure à celle des seconds volets correspondants du panneau de plus petite dimension, de manière qu'après assemblage des deux structures pour former la palette de manutention, les seconds volets attenants au panneau de plus grande dimension débordent au-dessus du panneau de plus petite dimension, afin de caler latéralement les objets palettisés ou un corps de conteneur destiné à prendre appui sur la palette. In an advantageous embodiment, the second flaps adjoining the larger panel will have a height greater than that of the corresponding second flaps of the smaller panel, so that after assembly of the two structures to form the handling pallet, the second flaps adjoining the larger panel protrude above the smaller panel, in order to wedge laterally the palletized objects or a container body intended to bear on the pallet.
Dans le cas où la palette conforme à l'invention est destinée à supporter un conditionnement de grandes dimensions, pour former une caisse-palette, le conditionnement pourra avantageusement comporter un corps parallélépipédique sans fond, dont deux parois comporteront à leur base un ergot, destiné à venir s'engager dans une fente ménagée en position correspondante dans le plateau supérieur de la palette, à la base des seconds volets. In the case where the pallet according to the invention is intended to support a packaging of large dimensions, to form a pallet box, the packaging may advantageously comprise a bottomless parallelepiped body, two walls of which will have at their base a lug, intended to come engage in a slot in the corresponding position in the upper plate of the pallet, at the base of the second flaps.
Alternativement, la partie inférieure d'au moins deux parois du corps parallélépipédique sans fond pourra être engagée dans une fente ménagée suivant toute la longueur du côté correspondant du plateau supérieur de la palette, à la base des seconds volets, à l'exception d'une portion de cette partie inférieure des parois, qui sera découpée dans celle-ci et articulée sur elle à la manière d'un volet par une ligne de pliage parallèle au plateau supérieur de la palette, de manière à pouvoir être repliée vers l'intérieur du corps creux pour prendre appui sur le plateau supérieur de la palette. Alternatively, the lower part of at least two walls of the bottomless parallelepiped body may be engaged in a slot made along the entire length of the corresponding side of the upper plate of the pallet, at the base of the second flaps, with the exception of a portion of this lower part of the walls, which will be cut out therein and articulated on it in the manner of a flap by a fold line parallel to the upper plate of the pallet, so that it can be folded inwards of the hollow body to bear on the upper plate of the pallet.
Dans une forme de réalisation préférée d'une telle caisse-palette, le conditionnement comportera un fond amovible, monté coulissant dans le corps creux, et les premiers volets attenant aux deux plateaux et formant entre ceux-ci des éléments intercalaires libéreront de préférence dans ces plateaux des ouvertures de dimensions suffisantes pour qu'un piston moteur puisse y être engagé pour supporter de façon connue en soi le fond mobile du conditionnement. In a preferred embodiment of such a pallet box, the packaging will include a removable bottom, slidably mounted in the hollow body, and the first flaps adjoining the two plates and forming between them intermediate elements will preferably release in these trays of openings of sufficient size for a driving piston to be engaged therein to support in a manner known per se the movable bottom of the packaging.
Ce fond pourra ainsi être amené en une position haute où il affleurera l'arête supérieure du corps du conditionnement, pour recevoir un premier lot de produits à conditionner, puis être ensuite abaissé à mesure que d'autres lots d'articles seront gerbés les uns sur les autres, jusqu'à ce que le fond vienne reposer sur la palette. This bottom can thus be brought to a high position where it will be flush with the upper edge of the packaging body, to receive a first batch of products to be packaged, and then be lowered as other batches of articles are stacked together. on the others, until the bottom comes to rest on the pallet.
Les caisses-palettes mentionnées ci-dessus et comportant une palette conforme à l'invention constituent un autre objet de la présente invention. Another object of the present invention is the pallet boxes mentioned above and comprising a pallet according to the invention.

On se référera d'abord à la figure 1, qui illustre une première forme de réalisation de la palette conforme à l'invention, réalisée par mise en forme et assemblage de deux flans rectangulaires 1, 1' de carton ondulé, convenablement découpés et refoulés. Reference will first be made to FIG. 1, which illustrates a first embodiment of the pallet according to the invention, produced by shaping and assembling two rectangular blanks 1, 1 ′ of corrugated cardboard, suitably cut and pushed back. .
Comme décrit dans la demande de brevet français précitée, dans chacun des panneaux 1 et 1', qui constituent respectivement la partie inférieure et la partie supérieure de la palette, sont découpés des premiers volets rectangulaires, respectivement 2, 2', articulés sur le panneau associé par une ligne de pliage parallèle à deux côtés du panneau, ici les côtés transversaux. I1 est ainsi possible d'amener les volets 2, 2' à faire saillie, perpendiculairement au panneau dont ils sont issus, en direction du panneau parallèle, pour venir s'appliquer latéralement contre les volets découpés en position correspondante dans ce dernier panneau.Dans cette position, comme on le voit sur la figure 1, les volets des deux panneaux en contact mutuel peuvent être assemblés par collage ou agrafage pour former ainsi des cloisons intercalaires faisant office d'éléments de séparation entre les panneaux 1 et 1'. Dans une direction perpendiculaire aux lignes de pliage, les volets 2 et 3 auront naturellement une dimension égale à la distance séparant les panneaux. As described in the aforementioned French patent application, in each of the panels 1 and 1 ′, which respectively constitute the lower part and the upper part of the pallet, are cut first rectangular flaps, respectively 2, 2 ′, articulated on the panel associated by a fold line parallel to two sides of the panel, here the transverse sides. It is thus possible to bring the flaps 2, 2 ′ to protrude, perpendicular to the panel from which they originate, in the direction of the parallel panel, to come to apply laterally against the flaps cut out in the corresponding position in this latter panel. this position, as seen in Figure 1, the flaps of the two panels in mutual contact can be assembled by gluing or stapling to thereby form intermediate partitions acting as separating elements between the panels 1 and 1 '. In a direction perpendicular to the fold lines, the flaps 2 and 3 will naturally have a dimension equal to the distance separating the panels.
Les éléments intercalaires ainsi réalisés seront alignés, de façon usuelle, suivant des rangées parallèles aux bords transversaux des panneaux 1 à 1', de manière à pouvoir introduire entre ces rangées les dents d'une fourche d'un engin de manutention. The intermediate elements thus produced will be aligned, in the usual way, in rows parallel to the transverse edges of the panels 1 to 1 ′, so as to be able to introduce between these rows the teeth of a fork of a handling machine.
De façon analogue, des volets 6, 6' et 7, 7' sont également prévus en position correspondante à la périphérie des deux panneaux 1-1', et sont articulés sur ceux-ci par des lignes de pliage confondues avec les bords de ces panneaux. I1 est ainsi possible d'amener les volets 6-6', et 7-7' en saillie perpendiculairement aux panneaux 1-1', en direction du panneau parallèle et en contact avec les volets correspondants de ce panneau parallèle, dont ils peuvent être rendus solidaires par collage ou agrafage.Dans le cas présent, une unique volet 6-6' s'étend suivant toute la dimension transversale des panneaux 1-1', tandis que trois volets 7-7' sont prévus suivant la dimension longitudinale
Bien entendu, les volets 7-7' sont respectivement espacés d'un intervalle correspondant à celui séparant les volets 2-2' d'un même élément intercalaire, de manière à pouvoir introduire les dents d'une fourche d'un engin de manutention entre les panneaux 1 et 1'.Similarly, flaps 6, 6 'and 7, 7' are also provided in corresponding position at the periphery of the two panels 1-1 ', and are articulated on these by fold lines coinciding with the edges of these panels. It is thus possible to bring the flaps 6-6 ', and 7-7' projecting perpendicularly to the panels 1-1 ', in the direction of the parallel panel and in contact with the corresponding flaps of this parallel panel, of which they can be made integral by gluing or stapling. In the present case, a single flap 6-6 'extends along the entire transverse dimension of the panels 1-1', while three flaps 7-7 'are provided along the longitudinal dimension
Of course, the flaps 7-7 'are respectively spaced by an interval corresponding to that separating the flaps 2-2' of the same intermediate element, so as to be able to introduce the teeth of a fork of a handling machine between panels 1 and 1 '.
Conformément à l'invention, la structure formée par le plateau supérieur 1 a des dimensions supérieures à celles du plateau inférieur 1' de la palette, tandis que la distance séparant les premiers volets 2 d'un même élément intercalaire est soit supérieure, soit inférieure à la distance séparant les volets 2' correspondants, de manière à pouvoir imbriquer la structure 1' dans la structure 1, avec les volets 2-2', 6-6' et 7-7', en contact mutuel. I1 est donc possible d'enduire de colle l'une des faces des volets appelés à venir en contact mutuel, avant imbrication des deux structures, pour assembler celles-ci par collage, sans avoir à solliciter excessivement les constituants de cette structure. According to the invention, the structure formed by the upper plate 1 has dimensions greater than those of the lower plate 1 'of the pallet, while the distance separating the first flaps 2 of the same intermediate element is either greater or less at the distance separating the corresponding flaps 2 ', so as to be able to nest the structure 1' in the structure 1, with the flaps 2-2 ', 6-6' and 7-7 ', in mutual contact. I1 is therefore possible to coat with glue one of the faces of the flaps called to come into mutual contact, before nesting of the two structures, to assemble them by gluing, without having to overstress the constituents of this structure.
La figure 2 représente une variante de réalisation de la figure 1. Les organes déjà décrits y sont désignés par les mêmes chiffres de référence. Dans cette variante, la structure comportant le panneau supérieur 1 de la palette est imbriqué dans la structure comportant le panneau inférieur 1'. Des volets uniques 6' sont attenants aux bords longitudinaux des panneaux 1' et ils comportent des ouvertures 8 ' ménagées en regard d'ouvertures correspondantes ménagées dans les panneaux 6 et en regard des passages séparant les volets 2 des éléments intercalaires, pour pouvoir introduire les dents d'une fourche d'un engin de manutention entre les panneaux 1 et 1'. Les volets uniques 6 attenants au panneau 1 sont en revanche disposés suivant les bords transversaux de ce panneau et ils sont doublés partiellement par des volets 7' attenants au panneau 1'.Aux volets 7' peuvent être substitués des retours d'angle attenants aux volets 6'. FIG. 2 represents an alternative embodiment of FIG. 1. The members already described there are designated by the same reference numbers. In this variant, the structure comprising the upper panel 1 of the pallet is nested in the structure comprising the lower panel 1 '. Single flaps 6 'adjoin the longitudinal edges of the panels 1' and they have openings 8 'arranged opposite corresponding openings formed in the panels 6 and opposite the passages separating the flaps 2 of the intermediate elements, in order to be able to introduce the teeth of a fork of a handling machine between panels 1 and 1 '. The single flaps 6 adjoining the panel 1, on the other hand, are arranged along the transverse edges of this panel and they are partially doubled by flaps 7 'adjoining the panel 1'.Aux flaps 7' can be substituted for corner returns adjoining the flaps 6 '.
Selon une caractéristique importante de la palette de la figure 2, les volets 6' et 7' attenants au panneau inférieur 1' ont une hauteur par rapport à ce panneau supérieure à celle des volets correspondants attenants au panneau 1, audessus duquel ils débordent ainsi en position d'utilisation de la palette, comme on le voit clairement sur la figure 2. According to an important characteristic of the pallet of FIG. 2, the flaps 6 ′ and 7 ′ adjoining the lower panel 1 ′ have a height relative to this panel greater than that of the corresponding flaps adjoining the panel 1, above which they thus overflow in position of use of the pallet, as clearly seen in Figure 2.
Les parties en saillie agissent ainsi comme éléments de calage vis-à-vis des lots d'objets reposant sur cette palette.The projecting parts thus act as wedging elements vis-à-vis batches of objects resting on this pallet.
I1 est aussi possible, avec une telle palette, de réaliser une caisse-palette, dont le conditionnement formant caisse peut simplement reposer sur le panneau supérieur 1 de la palette, en étant calé latéralement par les parties en saillie des volets 6' et 7'. I1 is also possible, with such a pallet, to produce a pallet box, the packaging forming a box can simply rest on the upper panel 1 of the pallet, being wedged laterally by the projecting parts of the flaps 6 ′ and 7 ′ .
Comme on le voit sur la figure 4, la partie formant caisse d'une telle caisse-palette pourra comporter un corps parallélépipédique 10, à la base de deux parois parallèles 11 duquel font saillie des ergots 12, destinés à venir s'engager dans des fentes 13, ménagées en position correspondante dans le panneau 1, à la base des volets 6. As can be seen in FIG. 4, the box-forming part of such a pallet box may comprise a parallelepipedic body 10, at the base of two parallel walls 11 from which project lugs 12, intended to engage in slots 13, formed in the corresponding position in the panel 1, at the base of the flaps 6.
Comme indiqué ci-dessus et comme représenté sur la figure 5, alternativement, la base des deux parois parallèles 11 peut être engagée suivant toute sa longueur dans une fente 14, ménagée en position correspondante dans le plateau 1, à la base des volets 6', suivant toute la longueur de ceux-ci, à l'exception d'au moins une languette 15 ménagée à la base de chacune des parois 11 et repliée vers l'intérieur du corps 10, autour d'une ligne de pliage parallèle au panneau 1, pour pouvoir prendre appui sur ce panneau. As indicated above and as shown in FIG. 5, alternatively, the base of the two parallel walls 11 can be engaged along its entire length in a slot 14, formed in the corresponding position in the plate 1, at the base of the flaps 6 ' , along the entire length thereof, with the exception of at least one tongue 15 formed at the base of each of the walls 11 and folded inwardly of the body 10, around a fold line parallel to the panel 1, to be able to lean on this panel.
Dans de telles caisses-palettes, un fond mobile 16 sera avantageusement monté coulissant dans le corps 10, de façon à pouvoir procéder à un emplissage mécanique de la caissepalette, comme décrit ci-dessus. In such pallet boxes, a movable bottom 16 will advantageously be slidably mounted in the body 10, so that mechanical filling of the pallet box can be carried out, as described above.
Dans ce but, on pourra avantageusement substituer aux structures à panneaux 1 et 1' de la figure 1, la structure représentée sur la figure 3, où les organes décrits en référence aux figures 1 et 2 sont désignés par les mêmes chiffres de référence. Dans cette réalisation, au lieu d'avoir deux rangées parallèles de deux éléments intercalaires, on prévoit des éléments intercalaires de grandes dimensions (20) définis par les volets (21), séparés par une distance suffisante pour pouvoir y engager des pistons moteurs qui supportent le fond mobile de la caisse, en vue de l'amener aux hauteurs désirées par rapport à la palette. For this purpose, it is advantageous to replace the panel structures 1 and 1 ′ in FIG. 1, the structure shown in FIG. 3, where the members described with reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 are designated by the same reference numbers. In this embodiment, instead of having two parallel rows of two intermediate elements, large intermediate elements (20) are defined, defined by the flaps (21), separated by a sufficient distance to be able to engage the engine pistons which support the movable bottom of the box, in order to bring it to the desired heights relative to the pallet.
