Definitions
- the present invention relates to a carton panel
- the invention provides a multi-ply carton panel usable as a pallet indoors or out
- Pallets are horizontal platforms able to support a load, the pallet comprising at least a base platform or framework which is supported by legs in a manner allowing the engagement of a fork lift truck or trolley Pallets are widely used in industry, as the platform can be used for assembling, storing and transporting multiple items together to make up a unit load, bringing significant savings in materials handling costs
- Wood is probably the most common material in use for the construction of pallets
- Other materials used are corrugated steel, wire mesh, aluminium, wood-metal combinations, plastics, fiberboard and carton
- the known construction of a pallet is basically a construction of a box (has 6 sides)
- the pallet according to the invention enables the construction of a durable pallet based on one plane only Goods are often shipped together with the pallet providing support
- the pallet according to the invention enables to return and multiple use of carton pallets
- Carton pallets have been developed to meet these requirements.
- Multi-ply carton is surprisingly strong, particularly if suitably supported.
- a pallet platform made of multi-layer carton 12 - 25mm thick can support a distributed load over 600 kg when supported proximate to opposing edges and along its center. Pallets of this type are commercially available from various suppliers. Other kinds of carton could also be used.
- carton loses its strength when wet, and to some extent also under conditions of high humidity. Pallets however are likely to be used or stored outdoors as well as inside buildings. Even when carton pallets are used only inside buildings, they may be seriously damaged by accidental spills or wash-downs. At present, carton pallets are in use but are unprotected against the danger of collapse following contact with a liquid, typically rain water or wash-down sprays.
- a known method of moisture protection is the application of a coating of varnish or lacquer.
- Application of these liquids raises environmental concerns, and safety measures need to be taken during the evaporation of solvents, most of which are highly flammable and covers only two dimensions (only two sides).
- the present invention achieves the above objects by providing a multi-layer carton panel configured for load-carrying purposes, enveloped in a plastic film for protection against moisture.
- the enveloping film is stressed to carry part of the load.
- a carton panel wherein said film is adhesively attached to the carton on at least 50% of the area of one major face thereof.
- the present invention utilizes the standard mass-produced carton which is universally available at low cost, or any other suitable carton.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective, fragmented view of a preferred embodiment of the panel according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 is a perspective view of a panel adapted for use as a pallet; and FIG. 3 is an enlarged detail view of an embodiment wherein the film is attached by use of foot pad strips.
- FIG. 1 a multi-layer and / or honeycomb carton panel 10 configured for load-carrying purposes, for example as the floor of a shipping container.
- the panel 10 shown comprises three layers 12, 14, 16 of carton, each attached to at least one flat sheet 18.
- the three layers 12, 14, 16 are glued together to form a panel at least 10 mm thick. Panels more than 10 mm thick are used where the anticipated load to be carried is high.
- the carton is enveloped in a plastic film 20 for protection against moisture, and thus will not be weakened if exposed to wash-down fluids, fluid spills or rain.
- the film 20 is formulated with an ultraviolet stabilizer, so as to provide durability should the panel 10 be stored exposed to sunlight.
- the preferred, though not the only method of film attachment is by use of an adhesive 22.
- the film 20 is adhesively attached at least to the upper carton layer 12 on at least 50% of the area of the major face thereof. Such attachment tends to prevent tearing of the film, and prevents an accidental small tear in the film extending too far.
- a further method of attaching the film 20 to the carton is by preparing the film in the form of a sleeve, inserting the carton, and heat-shrinking the film or combination.
- the film 20 is an engineering film made of a material such as nylon 6, polyester, polyethelene, polyimide, polycarbonate, polypropylene or acrylic, and accepts a part of the tensile stresses occurring on the lower face of the panel when loaded.
- the film 20 contributes to stiffening the panel 10 and allows the panel to carry a greater load than would be possible with a polyethylene film or a film which is not attached in a taut manner.
- FIG. 2 there is seen a film-enveloped carton panel 24 similar to 10 shown in FIG. 1.
- the panel 24 is further provided with foot pads 26 on one major surface to allow the panel to serve as a load-carrying pallet.
- foot pads 26 are arranged in a 3 by 3 array to provide required support.
- FIG. 3 illustrates a carton panel 28 provided with foot pad strips 30 extending the length of the panel.
- the foot pad strip shown under the left edge 32 of the panel 28 serves to attach and seal the plastic film 34 to the carton 36, as well as supporting the panel 28 for use as a pallet.
- Cardboard pallets are not intended to be stored in storage systems because of their limited rigidity.
- a runner which supports the pallet from bellow is attached to the underside of the pallet, - allowing up to one ton of freight. Specifically gives double reinforcement - once towards the upper plane and once towards the storage system with various attachment possibilities.
- a further embodiment of a multi-layer board allows the use of recycled carton which is normally weaker - to replace virgin cartons.
- a cross lamination of multi layer cardboard and solid board made of recycled paper.
