- the rear frame can then be pivoted to the lowered/collapsed position such that the cross member 300 lies contiguous against the forward frame length 105 .
- the opposed side frames 112 and 118 are also pivotally mounted to be collapsible from their upright orientation to lie flat adjacent the base of the pallet container. This is achieved in a similar manner to the arrangement described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,270,236.
- the lower ends of posts 114 116 120 122 are received in the stubs 104 110 108 106 .
- the operation will be described in respect of the post 120 received in the stub 106 and shown most clearly in FIG. 3 .
- the other posts of the end frames are received and operate in the same manner.
- the post 120 in the upright orientation is seated to rest in the post such that a lug 510 is seated in a recess 520 formed on the upper edge of the stub 106 .
- the lower end of the post 120 extends down below the lip 530 defined at the bottom of an open channel 540 defined in the stub 106 .
- the lower end of the post 120 is provided with a respective longitudinal slot 550 provided in opposed sides, a pivot bolt 560 extends though the stub from one side to the other passing through the slots 550 in the opposed sides of the post 120 .
- the post 120 In order to pivot the post 120 from its upright orientation, the post is fast lifted upwardly such that the lug 510 is lifted out of the recess 520 and the bottom of the post is clear of the lip 530 .
- the post is then pivoted about the pivot bolt 560 in the direction of arrow A in FIG. 3 , in order to extend through the open channel 540 in the stub 106 .
- the respective side frames 112 118 pivot to collapse flat against the already collapsed rear frame 290 .
- the collapsed pallet containers can be sacked one on top of another. This is shown in FIG. 8 , in which two collapsed pallets are shown one stacked on top of the other.
- the feet 64 of the upper pallet container engage in the seats formed by the upper open ends of the stubs 104 106 108 110 of the lower pallet container.
- the pallet container in addition to being adjustable in length and height, and stackable in its upright configuration, the pallet container is also collapsible from its ‘in use’ condition, to a collapsed condition in which collapsed containers can also be stacked one on top of another.
- the pallets can therefore be stacked in both the erect and the collapsed configurations.
- the posts 270 , 280 of the rear frame 290 are provided with respective rests 620 which are mounted to the posts 270 280 .
- the purpose of the rests 620 is to support the windshield array when secured in the container.
- the rests 620 are movable by rotating about the axis of the posts 270 280 between an ‘in use’ position shown in FIG. 4 (projecting into the container) and a stowed position swung to a position permitting collapsing and stacking.
- the rests 620 could be removable from the posts 270 280 .
- the front of the container is open and there is no front restraint.
- the windshield array contained in the container is secured by means of a straps or tethers secured to the rear frame 290 at the cross member 300 , passing over the windshield array and secured to the bottom front frame length 105 .
- the side restraints comprise flexible fluid containing devices such as inflatable air bags 700 .
- the bags can be secured to the frame by means of attachment to straps 620 .
- the bags can be inflated prior to being forced info position to pack the windshield array 800 .
- the bags can be inflated subsequently to being positioned adjacent the windshield array 800 .
- side restraints comprising flexible fluid containing devices such as inflatable air bags 700
- the extra weight and bulk associated side restraints such as the pivoting bar side restraints of U.S. Pat. No. 7,270,236 can be avoided. This can reduce shipping and storage costs. Configuring the pallet containers for use is also less time consuming as a result of using side restraints comprising flexible fluid containing devices such as inflatable air bags 700 .
- the pallet container 100 is extremely versatile in that it can be expanded lengthwise from a minimum length to extended lengths W X Y, and also in terms of its height from a minimum height to extended heights E F G.
- the pallet container can also be collapsed to an extremely compact configuration in which the back frame 290 remains integrally connected in the collapsed configuration such that collapsing and erection of the unit is conveniently achieved.
- FIGS. 11 to 14 there is shown an alternative embodiment of pallet container which is generally similar in construction to the pallet container 100 of the preceding figures, but in which adaptations have been made to facilitate ease of loading in certain situations.
- the pallet container of the first described embodiment is primarily designed to be loaded from the front open side F. In certain situations it may be desirable to load from one of the opposed side ends of the container. Accordingly, the embodiment of FIGS. 11 to 14 is designed to achieve this effect by making the upper side frame member 1211 of the side frame 1118 effectively detachable or displaceable in order to permit access though the side frame 1118 .
- the upper side frame member 1211 is attached at one end to the upright post 1120 by means of a hinge structure 1150 .
- the other end of the upper side frame member 1211 is provided with a location pin 1160 provided on the underside of the upper side frame member 1211 .
- the purpose of the locator pin is to locate in a locating aperture provided in the base of a locator bracket 1170 .
- the locator bracket has U shaped sidewalls extending upwardly from the base to provide a secure location seat for the end of the upper side frame member 1211 .
- the upper side frame member 1211 is pivoted upwardly on the hinge structure 1150 enabling the opposed end to be lifted clear of the locator bracket 1170 .
- the upper side frame member 1211 is then lowered pivotally about the hinge to rest in the position shown in FIG. 12 . There is sufficient play in the hinge structure 1150 to ensure that the free end of the upper side frame member 1211 can be displaced sideways to clear the locator bracket as the upper side frame member 1211 is lowered. In the displaced or lowered position (as shown in FIG. 12 ) the upper side frame member 1211 may be secured to the upright 1120 . For example the locator pin may engage in a securing formation provided on the upright post 1120 .
- FIGS. 11 to 14 includes a further modification when compared to the embodiment of FIGS. 1 to 10 .
- poles 1180 can be positioned in an upright orientation in the interior of the pallet container.
- the poles enable the interior of the pallet container to be divided up into sections and windshields positioned in the different sections supported and divided by the poles 1180 .
- the poles 1180 are push fit inserted into respective ones of a series of spaced receiving sockets 1185 positioned along respective tracks 1187 which extend at the base of the pallet container from the front frame length 1105 toward the rear of the container, and spaced outwardly of a respective slider bar 1145 1155 .
- the location of the ends of the poles 1180 in the location sockets 1185 is sufficient to ensure that the poles are secured with sufficient robustness, however when the pallet container has been loaded it is possible to remove the poles 1180 from the receiving sockets by simply pulling upwardly to free the ends from the receiving sockets 1185 .
- the poles 1180 locating in the sockets 1185 effectively provide a temporary or removable dividing structure for dividing up the interior of the pallet into loading zones.

The rear of the pallet is indicated by the letter R. The frame comprisesframe lengths 101 103, 105 and 107 arranged in a substantially rectangular configuration and connecting withcorner stubs forward frame length 105 and therear frame length 101 are extendible and contractible in effective length by means ofend lengths 101 a 105 a which are received in the maintubular frame length 101 105 telescopically. Quickrelease locking pins 11 are provided to cooperate with aligning holes in the frame lengths to secure the frame lengths at the appropriate selected length. This is shown most clearly inFIG. 6 . This configuration enables the overall length of the container pallet to be altered dependent upon specific requirements. - The
corner stubs sockets 20 for receiving either theend lengths 101 a 105 a or the ends of theside frame lengths 103 107.Side frame 112 comprisespost 114 andpost 116.Post 114 and post 116 are engaged inupward facing sockets 30 of therespective stubs Side frame 118 comprisesposts Posts sockets 30 ofrespective stubs posts - The frame further comprises transverse bracing
steel members 130 132 extending transversely at the base of the structure welded to and connecting the forward andrear frame lengths 105 101. Asupport plate 140 is also provided, extending transversely at the base of the structure welded to and connecting the forward andrear frame lengths 105 101. Furthermore a pair of slider bars 45, 55 are welded to and connect the forward andrear frame lengths 105 101 extending transversely across the base. These have respective upper surfaces raised above the level of theplate 140 and bracingmembers 130 132. In use, the windshields loaded onto thepallet container 100 rest with their lower edges supported on the slider bars 45 55. The slider bars, as the name suggests, facilitate sliding of the windshields into or out of the loaded position. - The forward and
rear frame lengths brackets 65 75 to receive the tines of a respective fork-lift truck. Both opposedside frame members 103 107 are also provided withbrackets - In addition to being adjustable in length, the pallet container is also adjustable in height. The
upright posts 114 116 122 and 120 of the side frames 112 118 comprise inner frame tubes received telescopically internally of theouter posts 114 116 122 120. In the configuration shown inFIGS. 1 to 4 . the container is shown in its ‘least height’ configuration in which the inner frame tubes are completely retracted into theouter posts 114 116 122 120. The inner tubes are inserted into the open upper ends of the comer posts 114 116 122 120, and connected to endbosses 80. Theside frame 118 is provided with an upperside frame member 211 welded at opposed ends to thebosses 80 of the inner tube members inserted intoposts 120 122. Theside frame 112 is provided with an upperside frame member 219 welded at opposed ends to thebosses 80 of the inner tube members inserted intoposts 116 114. In order to increase the height of thepallet container 100, the respective upperside frame member 211 219 is raised such that the respective inner tube member is simultaneously drawn out of therespective post 114 116 122 120. The telescopically extended inner tube frame members are then secured relative to therespective post 114 116 122 120 by means of a lockingpin 27 passing through co-aligned holes in the inner tube frame members and theposts 114 116 122 120. - In addition to being adjustable in length and height, the pallet container is also configured to be stackable, and more than this, stackable in different length and height configurations. In order to achieve
tins receiving sockets 82 are secured to thebosses 80 shaped and configured to snugly receive foot stops 84 provided on the underside of the comer stubs 104, 106, 108, 110, when one container is stacked on top of another. - The pallet container is, in addition to the end frames 112 118, also provided with a
rear frame 290 comprising a pair ofposts frame cross member 300. Thecross member 300 is thus height adjustable with the rest of thepallet container 100 as the frame struts 271, 281 move telescopically in theposts 270 280. The effective length of thecross member 300 is also adjustable asinner frame tubes 310 320 are telescopically received in the opposed ends of thecross member 300. Theinner frame tube 320 is shown in detail inFIGS. 10A and 10B . The upper surface of theinner frame tubes apertures 321 which are arranged to line up with one of respective locking apertures provided at opposed ends of thecross member 300 to be secured with arespective locking pin 315. This fixes thecross member 300 effective length to the required extent. As shown most clearly inFIG. 10B , the end of theinner frame tubes 310 320 are provided with a downwardly extending securingpin 317. The securingpin 317 locates in anaperture 430 provided in a receivingseat 420 welded to thebosses 80 of the inner tube members inserted intoposts - The
posts rear frame 290 are pivotally mounted at their lower ends to theframe member 101. Pivotal mountingbrackets 450 are provided for this purpose. In use, the rear frame member is held in the upright position at the desired height and length extension, by means of engagement of the securing pins 317 in theapertures 430, with the ends of theinner frame tubes seats 420. This is the configuration shown inFIGS. 1 2 4 6 and 7. In order to stow thepalter container 100 when empty (for example for storage or transportation when not loaded with windshields), the rear frame can be pivoted to a stowed orientation in which theposts 270 280 are pivoted about thepivot mounting brackets 450 through ninety degrees such that theposts 270 280 lie flat across the base of thecontainer pallet 100 between the rear andfront frame lengths 101 105. In order to do this the securingpins 317 are lifted out of engagement of theapertures 430, as the ends of theinner frame tubes scats 420. Thecross member 300 is then lowered such that thestruts posts 270 280. The rear frame can then be pivoted to the lowered/collapsed position such that thecross member 300 lies contiguous against theforward frame length 105. - The opposed side frames 112 and 118 are also pivotally mounted to be collapsible from their upright orientation to lie flat adjacent the base of the pallet container. This is achieved in a similar manner to the arrangement described in U.S. Pat. No. 7,270,236. The lower ends of
posts 114 116 120 122 are received in thestubs 104 110 108 106. The operation will be described in respect of thepost 120 received in thestub 106 and shown most clearly inFIG. 3 . The other posts of the end frames are received and operate in the same manner. Thepost 120 in the upright orientation is seated to rest in the post such that alug 510 is seated in arecess 520 formed on the upper edge of thestub 106. The lower end of thepost 120 extends down below thelip 530 defined at the bottom of anopen channel 540 defined in thestub 106. The lower end of thepost 120 is provided with a respectivelongitudinal slot 550 provided in opposed sides, apivot bolt 560 extends though the stub from one side to the other passing through theslots 550 in the opposed sides of thepost 120. - In order to pivot the
post 120 from its upright orientation, the post is fast lifted upwardly such that thelug 510 is lifted out of therecess 520 and the bottom of the post is clear of thelip 530. The post is then pivoted about thepivot bolt 560 in the direction of arrow A inFIG. 3 , in order to extend through theopen channel 540 in thestub 106. The respective side frames 112 118 pivot to collapse flat against the already collapsedrear frame 290. In the collapsed configuration the collapsed pallet containers can be sacked one on top of another. This is shown inFIG. 8 , in which two collapsed pallets are shown one stacked on top of the other. The feet 64 of the upper pallet container engage in the seats formed by the upper open ends of thestubs 104 106 108 110 of the lower pallet container. - Therefore, in addition to being adjustable in length and height, and stackable in its upright configuration, the pallet container is also collapsible from its ‘in use’ condition, to a collapsed condition in which collapsed containers can also be stacked one on top of another. The pallets can therefore be stacked in both the erect and the collapsed configurations.
- The
posts rear frame 290 are provided with respective rests 620 which are mounted to theposts 270 280. The purpose of the rests 620 is to support the windshield array when secured in the container. In the embodiment shown the rests 620 are movable by rotating about the axis of theposts 270 280 between an ‘in use’ position shown inFIG. 4 (projecting into the container) and a stowed position swung to a position permitting collapsing and stacking. As a less preferred alternative the rests 620 could be removable from theposts 270 280. - In the embodiment shown in the drawings, the front of the container is open and there is no front restraint. In such an embodiment the windshield array contained in the container is secured by means of a straps or tethers secured to the
rear frame 290 at thecross member 300, passing over the windshield array and secured to the bottomfront frame length 105. - It is important to provide side restraints to prevent the windshields shifting in the longitudinal direction of the container during transit. In U.S. Pat. No. 7,270,236 this is achieved by means of pivoting bar side restraints. Conveniently and beneficially according to preferred aspects of the present invention, and as shown in
FIG. 6 , the side restraints comprise flexible fluid containing devices such asinflatable air bags 700. The bags can be secured to the frame by means of attachment to straps 620. The bags can be inflated prior to being forced info position to pack thewindshield array 800. Alternatively the bags can be inflated subsequently to being positioned adjacent thewindshield array 800. By using side restraints comprising flexible fluid containing devices such asinflatable air bags 700, the extra weight and bulk associated side restraints such as the pivoting bar side restraints of U.S. Pat. No. 7,270,236 can be avoided. This can reduce shipping and storage costs. Configuring the pallet containers for use is also less time consuming as a result of using side restraints comprising flexible fluid containing devices such asinflatable air bags 700. - As shown in
FIG. 6 , thepallet container 100 is extremely versatile in that it can be expanded lengthwise from a minimum length to extended lengths W X Y, and also in terms of its height from a minimum height to extended heights E F G. The pallet container can also be collapsed to an extremely compact configuration in which theback frame 290 remains integrally connected in the collapsed configuration such that collapsing and erection of the unit is conveniently achieved. - Referring now to
FIGS. 11 to 14 , there is shown an alternative embodiment of pallet container which is generally similar in construction to thepallet container 100 of the preceding figures, but in which adaptations have been made to facilitate ease of loading in certain situations. - The pallet container of the first described embodiment is primarily designed to be loaded from the front open side F. In certain situations it may be desirable to load from one of the opposed side ends of the container. Accordingly, the embodiment of
FIGS. 11 to 14 is designed to achieve this effect by making the upperside frame member 1211 of theside frame 1118 effectively detachable or displaceable in order to permit access though theside frame 1118. - The upper
side frame member 1211 is attached at one end to theupright post 1120 by means of ahinge structure 1150. The other end of the upperside frame member 1211 is provided with alocation pin 1160 provided on the underside of the upperside frame member 1211. The purpose of the locator pin is to locate in a locating aperture provided in the base of alocator bracket 1170. The locator bracket has U shaped sidewalls extending upwardly from the base to provide a secure location seat for the end of the upperside frame member 1211. In order to displace the upperside frame member 1211 from its bracing position, the upperside frame member 1211 is pivoted upwardly on thehinge structure 1150 enabling the opposed end to be lifted clear of thelocator bracket 1170. The upperside frame member 1211 is then lowered pivotally about the hinge to rest in the position shown inFIG. 12 . There is sufficient play in thehinge structure 1150 to ensure that the free end of the upperside frame member 1211 can be displaced sideways to clear the locator bracket as the upperside frame member 1211 is lowered. In the displaced or lowered position (as shown inFIG. 12 ) the upperside frame member 1211 may be secured to theupright 1120. For example the locator pin may engage in a securing formation provided on theupright post 1120. - The embodiment of
FIGS. 11 to 14 includes a further modification when compared to the embodiment ofFIGS. 1 to 10 . In this embodiment,poles 1180 can be positioned in an upright orientation in the interior of the pallet container. The poles enable the interior of the pallet container to be divided up into sections and windshields positioned in the different sections supported and divided by thepoles 1180. Thepoles 1180 are push fit inserted into respective ones of a series of spaced receivingsockets 1185 positioned alongrespective tracks 1187 which extend at the base of the pallet container from the front frame length 1105 toward the rear of the container, and spaced outwardly of arespective slider bar 1145 1155. - The location of the ends of the
poles 1180 in thelocation sockets 1185 is sufficient to ensure that the poles are secured with sufficient robustness, however when the pallet container has been loaded it is possible to remove thepoles 1180 from the receiving sockets by simply pulling upwardly to free the ends from the receivingsockets 1185. Thepoles 1180 locating in thesockets 1185 effectively provide a temporary or removable dividing structure for dividing up the interior of the pallet into loading zones.
