Definitions
- the present application relates to a pallet having a substantially rectangular basic structure and four side surfaces enclosing the basic structure, of which two side surfaces are arranged on opposite sides of the basic structure and are aligned parallel to one another, the basic structure each having a planar top surface apart from structural stiffening structures. and bottom and wherein at the bottom feet for supporting the basic structure are arranged.
- Such pallets are often used for transporting goods and are often integrated into a deposit system. This and the widest possible field of application require that the dimensions of the pallets are standardized. Depending on the size, 1 ⁇ 4 euro pallets with a base area of 400 x 600 mm, half Euro pallets with a base area of 800 x 600 mm and euro pallets with a base area of 800 x 1200 mm can be distinguished. In addition, a variety of other sizes are available in the market. The present invention is primarily intended for use with 1 ⁇ 4 euro pallets, although it is not excluded for use with other pallet dimensions.
- pallets made of various materials such. B. wood, plastic or sheet metal.
- the WO 2010/057586 A1 discloses a pallet made of a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic. It is formed by a corrugated sheet gutter and rib structure, which are stiffened by transverse web walls. Such a range is lightweight, one-piece and has a high load capacity structure.
- pallets are placed in sales rooms in order to offer the goods directly to the customer without first sorting them into shelves, the pallets are referred to as so-called "display pallets". Display pallets are therefore used, in addition to the transport, the presentation of the goods. In order to achieve a sales-promoting and appealing effect on the customers, the pallets are covered with so-called displays.
- Displays are often for the presentation of goods corresponding printed cardboard or cardboard structures that are attached to or on the pallet.
- displays can also be used to secure cargo during transport.
- the displays can be attached to the pallet as quickly, easily and safely as possible. It is crucial, above all, that the display maintains the predetermined position during transport and primarily during the sales process.
- conventional pallets have slot-shaped recesses in the edge regions of the upper side of the basic structure, into which projecting attachment structures of the display can be inserted.
- the above fastening structures have, for example, molded and / or mounted latching lugs which engage in the slot-shaped recesses and lock.
- the disadvantage of this type of attachment especially the increased material requirements for the production of the locking lugs and the difficult insertion of the locking lugs in the slot-shaped attachment structures.
- the attachment of such displays requires access to the top of the pallet, which is limited in already loaded pallets.
- the actual display takes the view of the slot-shaped recesses, so that the introduction of the attachment structures in the recesses has to be done "blind".
- An alternative mounting option provides T-shaped depressions on the side surfaces of the pallets that are approximately the same thickness as the display material.
- the wells are therefore a few millimeters, z. B. 2 to 5 mm deep.
- the provided on the displays for pressing in these wells sections are also T-shaped and designed with oversize.
- the pressing in leads to a local material deformation, which is only possible with a sufficiently thin material thickness.
- this deformation prevents the extension of the display can be reliably fitted in the recess of the pallet and thus securely attached to the pallet. If the material thickness is increased in order to avoid unwanted deformations, it is very difficult or even impossible to insert the display extension. In both cases, a secure connection between the display and the palette is not guaranteed.
- a non-generic pallet with a square basic shape emerges, in which a circumferential shoulder is provided for supporting a peripheral frame of a container.
- the pallet is not designed for connection to a goods display.
- the document discloses no recesses on the side surfaces for receiving a display extension and no rounded, offset inside corners.
- the present object is achieved by a pallet according to claim 1, wherein at least two of the four side surfaces at least one recess for the positive reception of a display extension is arranged.
- the pallet is preferably made of plastic by injection molding or by deep drawing.
- the recess extends over the vertical extent of the side surface. This allows a two-sided access to the in the recess introduced display extension.
- the insertion and removal of the displacer extension can be monitored or controlled from two sides, ie once from the top or perpendicular to the side surface and once from the underside of the basic structure.
- the display extension can be taken for this purpose with a tool and pulled into the recess or out of the recess out. It is not absolutely necessary that the display extension itself extend over the entire vertical extent of the recess.
- the lower edge of the display can rest on the edge of the basic structure next to the recess so as to support the display.
- the recess extends over the vertical extent of the side surface, access from the side surface to the recess is possible. Both a control or monitoring of the insertion and Ausbringungsvorgangs the display extension from the side, as well as a visual inspection of the proper attachment is possible at any time. If necessary, the positioning of the material extension can be corrected by the lateral, upper and / or lower accessibility.
- the recess in the plan view of the side surfaces along their vertically extending boundaries undercuts wherein the undercuts preferably extend over the entire vertical extent of the recess.
- the display extension inserted into the recess is preferably clamped in the (or the) vertically extending undercut (s). Depending on the dimensioning of the introduced into the undercut section of material thus creates a form fit, which ensures a secure and firm positioning of the display extension in the recess.
- the undercuts can also be used to adjust the display extension.
- the display extension can be moved in a defined manner along the undercut until it has reached the desired position.
- a longer undercut causes the force or the positive connection can be distributed over a larger contact surface.
- the recess has a horizontal cross-sectional area decreasing in a direction from the bottom of the base structure to the top of the base structure.
- the recess in a section perpendicular to the side surface, has an upwardly tapering wedge-shaped cross section.
- the undercuts then have a wedge-shaped cross-section.
- the display extension inserted in the wedge-shaped undercuts can be jammed against movement in all directions. A vertical movement of the display as well as horizontal movements can thus be prevented.
- the clamping force is dependent on the material thickness of the introduced into the undercut display extension and its geometric configuration.
- the horizontal cross-sectional area of the recess is substantially rectangular or semicircular in shape.
- dovetailed display projections and a semicircular configured cross-sectional area, formed along the on the rear wall, ie the inner (towards the center of the range lying) boundary of the recess adjacent display extension force components, which point in the direction of the undercuts and so the holding force increase the introduced into the undercuts display extension.
- the display extension can be gripped with the tool or by hand and easily removed from the recess.
- the provided for engaging behind recess may be configured substantially rectangular or semicircular. Not excluded are other geometric configurations, as long as they allow at least partially engaging behind with a tool or a hand. This recess is expediently in the center of the rear wall and thus removed from the backgrounds.
- the undercuts are formed by one each, formed by the side wall of the recess parallel to the side walls of the pallet and preferably flush with these extending webs.
- the vertical extending the undercuts webs of the recess in a preferred variant, an additional, horizontally extending recess, which is preferably designed slot-shaped.
- the horizontal recess in the vertically extending webs allows horizontal alignment of the display extension in the recess.
- retaining means can be introduced into the horizontal recess, which partially penetrate into the material of the basic structure of the pallet after they have penetrated a section of the display extension introduced into the undercuts of the recess.
- the horizontal recesses of the receptacle are used horizontally on the display extension. or appropriate surveys.
- Such elevations may, for example, be webs or lugs which, when introduced into the horizontal recesses, effectively prevent a vertical movement of the display extension in the recess.
- the display does not necessarily have to sit on top of the pallet.
- the recesses also provide access to the introduced into the undercuts sections of the display extension to solve these sections.
- the recesses of two opposite side surfaces with respect to the length of the side surfaces are arranged at corresponding sections.
- each of the four side surfaces has a recess, wherein the recesses are arranged centrally in the side surfaces.
- the pallet has rounded and inwardly offset corners.
- Display base with projections at the corners which may for example also have latching noses, can be slipped over the inwardly offset corners of the pallet, so as to ensure a safe and accurate positioning.
- fixing straps can be safely and accurately positioned on the pallet, the inwardly offset corners prevent lateral slipping of the fixing straps.
- the basic structure has in one embodiment along an imaginary, parallel to one of the side surfaces extending line at least one slot-shaped receptacle for a fastening means.
- a slot-shaped receptacle in this sense has at least two side walls whose height corresponds to at least the minimum width, preferably twice the minimum width, of the slot.
- the receptacle can be formed by a latching mechanism, such as undercuts for receiving latching lugs, for example. are characteristic for.
- a latching mechanism such as undercuts for receiving latching lugs, for example. are characteristic for.
- slot-shaped recordings fasteners such.
- two such slot-shaped receptacles are arranged parallel to one another along an imaginary line extending parallel to one of the side surfaces.
- the two pairs of opposite side surfaces have different lengths, so that the direction along the longer side surfaces extending direction can be easily referred to as the longitudinal direction.
- one of the directions of the side surfaces can be arbitrarily defined as a longitudinal direction.
- along the longitudinal centerline there are provided two fastener receptacles spaced from each other longitudinally.
- Such a receptacle may be a slot-shaped receptacle in the sense described above. With the help of these recordings, displays with a smaller footprint can also be attached to the basic structure. If the basic structure of the pallet is made square, one of the two center lines bisecting the basic structure in a plan view takes the place of the longitudinal direction.
- slot-shaped recordings differ from other breakthroughs in the top and bottom of the pallet mainly in that they have perpendicular to the top and bottom walls extending side walls which extend to a greater depth than the wall thickness of the pallet material or any reinforcing ribs.
- arranged on the center line shots for a fastener are formed rectangular.
- At least one side surface of a foot of the pallet preferably two feet and more preferably All feet, a recess for attaching packaging material.
- the recesses on the feet can in particular be triangular in shape, wherein, for example, a stretch film can be guided into the recess and clamped in a corner of the triangular recess.
- a fixing belt with, for example, a hook in the recess of the side surface for securing transport can be fastened.
- the feet are formed by a funnel-shaped recess extending from the top, from the bottom of which a central truncated pyramid extends up to the top.
- the feet best seen so approximately from a in its vertical center folded back into truncated pyramid.
- two out of four feet have an elongate cross section whose longer axes are aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis of the pallet.
- a wall of the funnel-shaped recess of the feet may be broken, so that you receive next to the foot from the top to the bottom of the basic structure extending implementation.
- the base structure alternately has upwardly open and downwardly open recesses / ribs which are stiffened with cross braces.
- a pallet designed in this way helps to reduce the material costs during production, as a result of which the reduced transport weight also reduces transport costs.

- the side surface 3 has a recess 7, in which a display extension 8 is introduced.
- the display extension 8 has a corrugated cardboard structure 21 and two wedge sections 22 which are bendable along a pre-folded line.
- the bent wedge portions 22 engage in the vertically extending undercuts 9 of the recess 7 and thus fix the display extension 8 in the recess 7. Because the horizontal cross-sectional area 10 of the recess 7 is rectangular and decreases from the bottom 5 of the basic structure 2 in the direction of the top 4 , the side profile of the recess 7 is wedge-shaped. The wedge shape has the effect that the wedge sections 22 of the display extension 8 can not be moved out of the recess 7 in the direction of the upper side 4 of the basic structure 2. In addition, the display extension 8 can be supported over a large area on the rearward-facing recess 7, so that the stability of the attachment is increased.

Description
Die vorliegende Anmeldung betrifft eine Palette mit einer im Wesentlichen rechteckigen Grundstruktur und vier die Grundstruktur einfassenden Seitenflächen, von welchen je zwei Seitenflächen auf gegenüberliegenden Seiten der Grundstruktur angeordnet und parallel zueinander ausgerichtet sind, wobei die Grundstruktur je eine, von konstruktiven Versteifungsstrukturen abgesehen, ebene Ober- und Unterseite aufweist und wobei an der Unterseite Füße zum Abstützen der Grundstruktur angeordnet sind.The present application relates to a pallet having a substantially rectangular basic structure and four side surfaces enclosing the basic structure, of which two side surfaces are arranged on opposite sides of the basic structure and are aligned parallel to one another, the basic structure each having a planar top surface apart from structural stiffening structures. and bottom and wherein at the bottom feet for supporting the basic structure are arranged.
Derartige Paletten werden häufig zum Warentransport verwendet und sind oftmals in ein Pfandsystem integriert. Dies und ein möglichst breites Anwendungsfeld erfordern, dass die Abmessungen der Paletten vereinheitlicht sind. Abhängig von der Größe sind ¼-Europaletten, mit einer Grundfläche von 400 x 600 mm, halbe Europaletten, mit einer Grundfläche von 800 x 600 mm, und Europaletten, mit einer Grundfläche von 800 x 1200 mm, zu unterscheiden. Daneben sind eine Vielzahl von anderen Größen auf dem Markt verfügbar. Die vorliegende Erfidnug ist primär für die Verwendung mit ¼-Europaletten vorgesehen, auch wenn eine Verwendung mit anderen Palettenmaßen nicht ausgeschlossen ist.Such pallets are often used for transporting goods and are often integrated into a deposit system. This and the widest possible field of application require that the dimensions of the pallets are standardized. Depending on the size, ¼ euro pallets with a base area of 400 x 600 mm, half Euro pallets with a base area of 800 x 600 mm and euro pallets with a base area of 800 x 1200 mm can be distinguished. In addition, a variety of other sizes are available in the market. The present invention is primarily intended for use with ¼ euro pallets, although it is not excluded for use with other pallet dimensions.
Bekanntermaßen können Paletten aus diversen Materialien, wie z. B. Holz, Kunststoff oder Blech hergestellt sein. Die
Werden Paletten in Verkaufsräumen aufgestellt, um darauf befindliche Waren direkt, ohne diese erste in Regale einzusortieren, dem Kunden anzubieten, so werden die Paletten als sog. "Display-Paletten" bezeichnet. Display-Paletten dienen daher, neben dem Transport auch der Präsentation der Waren. Um eine verkaufsfördernde und ansprechende Wirkung auf die Kunden zu erzielen, werden die Paletten mit sog. Displays ummantelt.If pallets are placed in sales rooms in order to offer the goods directly to the customer without first sorting them into shelves, the pallets are referred to as so-called "display pallets". Display pallets are therefore used, in addition to the transport, the presentation of the goods. In order to achieve a sales-promoting and appealing effect on the customers, the pallets are covered with so-called displays.
Displays sind oftmals zur Warenpräsentation entsprechend bedruckte Papp- oder Kartonaufbauten, die auf bzw. an der Palette befestigt werden. Neben der Funktion der Warenpräsentation können Displays während des Transportes auch zur Ladungssicherung verwendet werden. Für beide Verwendungszwecke ist es erforderlich, dass die Displays möglichst schnell, einfach und sicher an bzw. auf der Palette befestigt werden können. Entscheidend ist dabei vor allem, dass das Display die vorgegebene Position während des Transportes und in erster Linie während des Verkaufsvorganges beibehält.Displays are often for the presentation of goods corresponding printed cardboard or cardboard structures that are attached to or on the pallet. In addition to the function of goods presentation, displays can also be used to secure cargo during transport. For both uses, it is necessary that the displays can be attached to the pallet as quickly, easily and safely as possible. It is crucial, above all, that the display maintains the predetermined position during transport and primarily during the sales process.
Zu diesem Zweck weisen herkömmliche Paletten in den Randbereichen der Oberseite der Grundstruktur schlitzförmige Ausnehmungen auf, in die vorstehende Befestigungsstrukturen des Displays eingeführt werden können. Die vorstehenden Befestigungsstrukturen haben z.B. ausgeformte und/oder aufgesetzte Rastnasen, die in die schlitzförmigen Ausnehmungen eingreifen und verrasten. Nachteilig ist bei dieser Art der Befestigung vor allem der erhöhte Materialbedarf zur Herstellung der Rastnasen und das schwierige Einführen der Rastnasen in die schlitzförmigen Befestigungsstrukturen. Die Befestigung solcher Displays erfordert einen Zugang zu der Oberseite der Palette, der jedoch bei bereits beladenen Paletten nur begrenzt möglich ist. Zudem nimmt das eigentliche Display die Sicht auf die schlitzförmigen Ausnehmungen, so dass die Einführung der Befestigungsstrukturen in die Ausnehmungen "blind" zu erfolgen hat.For this purpose, conventional pallets have slot-shaped recesses in the edge regions of the upper side of the basic structure, into which projecting attachment structures of the display can be inserted. The above fastening structures have, for example, molded and / or mounted latching lugs which engage in the slot-shaped recesses and lock. The disadvantage of this type of attachment, especially the increased material requirements for the production of the locking lugs and the difficult insertion of the locking lugs in the slot-shaped attachment structures. The attachment of such displays requires access to the top of the pallet, which is limited in already loaded pallets. In addition, the actual display takes the view of the slot-shaped recesses, so that the introduction of the attachment structures in the recesses has to be done "blind".
Eine alternative Befestigungsmöglichkeit sieht an den Seitenflächen der Paletten T-förmige Vertiefungen vor, die in etwa die Stärke des Displaymaterials haben. Bei der Verwendung von Displays aus Pappe sind die Vertiefungen daher wenige Millimeter, z. B. 2 bis 5 mm tief. Die an den Displays für das Hineinpressen in diese Vertiefungen vorgesehenen Abschnitte sind ebenfalls T-förmig und mit Übermaß ausgestaltet. Das Hineinpressen führt zu einer lokalen Materialverformung, die nur bei einer hinreichend dünnen Materialstärke möglich ist,. Diese Verformung verhindert jedoch, dass der Fortsatz des Displays zuverlässig in der Vertiefung der Palette eingepasst und damit sicher an der Palette befestigt werden kann. Wird die Materialstärke, um ungewollte Verformungen zu vermeiden, erhöht, ist ein Einbringen des Displayfortsatzes nur sehr mühsam oder gar nicht mehr möglich. In beiden Fällen ist eine sichere Verbindung zwischen Display und Palette nicht gewährleistet.An alternative mounting option provides T-shaped depressions on the side surfaces of the pallets that are approximately the same thickness as the display material. When using displays made of cardboard, the wells are therefore a few millimeters, z. B. 2 to 5 mm deep. The provided on the displays for pressing in these wells sections are also T-shaped and designed with oversize. The pressing in leads to a local material deformation, which is only possible with a sufficiently thin material thickness. However, this deformation prevents the extension of the display can be reliably fitted in the recess of the pallet and thus securely attached to the pallet. If the material thickness is increased in order to avoid unwanted deformations, it is very difficult or even impossible to insert the display extension. In both cases, a secure connection between the display and the palette is not guaranteed.

Vor dem Hintergrund des genannten Standes der Technik ist es daher Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung, eine Palette mit Aufnahmen zur sicheren und schnellen Befestigung eines Displays an einer Palette bereitzustellen.Against the background of the cited prior art, it is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a pallet with receptacles for secure and quick attachment of a display to a pallet.
Die vorliegende Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß gelöst durch eine Palette gemäß anspruch 1, wobei an zumindest zwei der vier Seitenflächen wenigstens eine Ausnehmung zur formschlüssigen Aufnahme eines Displayfortsatzes angeordnet ist. Die Palette ist vorzugsweise aus Kunststoff im Spritzgussverfahren oder durch Tiefziehen hergestellt.The present object is achieved by a pallet according to
In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform erstreckt sich die Ausnehmung über die vertikale Ausdehnung der Seitenfläche. Dies ermöglicht einen zweiseitigen Zugang zu dem in die Ausnehmung eingebrachten Displayfortsatz. Das Ein- und Ausführen des Displäyfortsatzes kann je nach Ausgestaltung von zwei Seiten her, d.h. einmal von der Oberseite her oder senkrecht zu der Seitenfläche und einmal von der Unterseite der Grundstruktur her, überwacht bzw. gesteuert werden. Der Displayfortsatz kann zu diesem Zweck auch mit einem Werkzeug ergriffen werden und in die Ausnehmung hinein bzw. aus der Ausnehmung heraus gezogen werden. Es ist nicht zwingend erforderlich, dass sich der Displayfortsatz selbst über die gesamte vertikale Ausdehnung der Ausnehmung erstreckt. Die untere Kante des Displays kann dabei auf dem Rand der Grundstruktur neben der Ausnehmung aufliegen, um so das Display abzustützen.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the recess extends over the vertical extent of the side surface. This allows a two-sided access to the in the recess introduced display extension. Depending on the design, the insertion and removal of the displacer extension can be monitored or controlled from two sides, ie once from the top or perpendicular to the side surface and once from the underside of the basic structure. The display extension can be taken for this purpose with a tool and pulled into the recess or out of the recess out. It is not absolutely necessary that the display extension itself extend over the entire vertical extent of the recess. The lower edge of the display can rest on the edge of the basic structure next to the recess so as to support the display.
Weil die Ausnehmung sich über die vertikal verlaufende Ausdehnung der Seitenfläche erstreckt, ist darüber hinaus auch ein Zugang von der Seitenfläche auf die Ausnehmung möglich. Sowohl eine Kontrolle bzw. Überwachung des Ein- und Ausbringungsvorgangs des Displayfortsatzes von der Seite, als auch eine Sichtkontrolle der ordnungsgemäßen Befestigung ist jederzeit möglich. Im Bedarfsfall kann die Positionierung des Materialfortsatzes durch die seitliche, obere und/oder untere Zugriffsmöglichkeit korrigiert werden.In addition, because the recess extends over the vertical extent of the side surface, access from the side surface to the recess is possible. Both a control or monitoring of the insertion and Ausbringungsvorgangs the display extension from the side, as well as a visual inspection of the proper attachment is possible at any time. If necessary, the positioning of the material extension can be corrected by the lateral, upper and / or lower accessibility.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform weist die Ausnehmung in der Draufsicht auf die Seitenflächen entlang ihrer vertikal verlaufenden Begrenzungen Hinterschneidungen auf, wobei die Hinterschneidungen sich vorzugsweise über die gesamte vertikale Ausdehnung der Ausnehmung erstrecken. Der in die Ausnehmung eingeführte Displayfortsatz wird vorzugsweise in der (bzw. den) vertikal verlaufenden Hinterschneidung(en) eingeklemmt. In Abhängigkeit von der Dimensionierung des in die Hinterschneidung eingebrachten Materialabschnittes entsteht so ein Formschluss, der eine sichere und feste Positionierung des Displayfortsatzes in der Ausnehmung gewährleistet.In a further embodiment, the recess in the plan view of the side surfaces along their vertically extending boundaries undercuts, wherein the undercuts preferably extend over the entire vertical extent of the recess. The display extension inserted into the recess is preferably clamped in the (or the) vertically extending undercut (s). Depending on the dimensioning of the introduced into the undercut section of material thus creates a form fit, which ensures a secure and firm positioning of the display extension in the recess.
Erstrecken sich die vertikalen Hinterschneidungen über die vertikale Ausdehnung der Ausnehmung, so können die Hinterschneidungen auch zur Justierung des Displayfortsatzes verwendet werden. Zu diesem Zweck kann der Displayfortsatz entlang der Hinterschneidung definiert bewegt werden, bis er die gewünschte Position erreicht hat. Zusätzlich bewirkt eine längere Hinterschneidung, dass die Kraft bzw. der Formschluss auf eine größere Kontaktfläche verteilt werden kann.If the vertical undercuts extend beyond the vertical extent of the recess, the undercuts can also be used to adjust the display extension. For this purpose, the display extension can be moved in a defined manner along the undercut until it has reached the desired position. In addition, a longer undercut causes the force or the positive connection can be distributed over a larger contact surface.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform weist die Ausnehmung eine horizontale Querschnittsfläche auf, die in eine Richtung von der Unterseite der Grundstruktur zu der Oberseite der Grundstruktur hin abnimmt. Anders ausgedrückt hat die Ausnehmung in einem Schnitt senkrecht zur Seitenfläche einen sich nach oben verjüngenden keilförmigen Querschnitt. Auch die Hinterschneidungen haben dann einen keilförmigen Querschnitt. Der in die keilförmigen Hinterschneidungen eingeführte Displayfortsatz kann gegen eine Bewegung in allen Richtungen verklemmt werden. Eine vertikale Bewegung des Displays ebenso wie horizontale Bewegungen können somit verhindert werden. Die Klemmkraft ist abhängig von der Materialstärke des in die Hinterschneidung eingebrachten Displayfortsatzes sowie dessen geometrischer Ausgestaltung.In a preferred embodiment, the recess has a horizontal cross-sectional area decreasing in a direction from the bottom of the base structure to the top of the base structure. In other words, in a section perpendicular to the side surface, the recess has an upwardly tapering wedge-shaped cross section. The undercuts then have a wedge-shaped cross-section. The display extension inserted in the wedge-shaped undercuts can be jammed against movement in all directions. A vertical movement of the display as well as horizontal movements can thus be prevented. The clamping force is dependent on the material thickness of the introduced into the undercut display extension and its geometric configuration.
In einer weiter bevorzugten Ausführungsform ist die horizontale Querschnittsfläche der Ausnehmung im Wesentlichen rechteckig oder halbkreisförmig ausgeformt. Bei der Verwendung von schwalbenschwanzförmigen Displayfortsätzen und einer halbkreisförmig ausgestalteten Querschnittsfläche, bilden sich entlang des an der Rückwand, d. h. der inneren (zum Zentrum der Palette hin liegenden) Begrenzung der Ausnehmung, anliegenden Displayfortsatzes Kraftkomponenten aus, die in Richtung der Hinterschneidungen weisen und so die Haltekraft des in die Hinterschneidungen eingebrachten Displayfortsatzes erhöhen.In a further preferred embodiment, the horizontal cross-sectional area of the recess is substantially rectangular or semicircular in shape. When using dovetailed display projections and a semicircular configured cross-sectional area, formed along the on the rear wall, ie the inner (towards the center of the range lying) boundary of the recess, adjacent display extension force components, which point in the direction of the undercuts and so the holding force increase the introduced into the undercuts display extension.
In einer Ausführungsform ist vorgesehen, dass im näher zu der Unterseite der Grundstruktur angebrachten Bereich der Ausnehmung eine weitere Aussparung in der Rückwand der Ausnehmung vorgesehen ist, die es ermöglicht, von der Unterseite der Grundstruktur aus zumindest abschnittsweise einen an die Rückwand der Ausnehmung angelegten Abschnitt des Displayfortsatzes mit einem Werkzeug und/oder einer Hand zu hintergreifen. Der Displayfortsatz kann so mit dem Werkzeug bzw. mit der Hand gegriffen werden und leicht aus der Ausnehmung entfernt werden. Die zum Hintergreifen vorgesehene Aussparung kann im Wesentlichen rechteckig oder halbkreisförmig ausgestaltet sein. Nicht ausgeschlossen sind andere geometrische Ausgestaltungen, solange diese ein zumindest abschnittsweises Hintergreifen mit einem Werkzeug bzw. einer Hand ermöglichen. Diese Aussparung liegt zweckmäßigerweise im Zentrum der Rückwand und somit entfernt von den Hinterscheidungen.In one embodiment, provision is made for a further recess in the rear wall of the recess to be provided in the region of the recess which is closer to the underside of the basic structure, making it possible, at least in sections, for a section of the recess attached to the rear wall of the recess from the underside of the basic structure Behind the display extension with a tool and / or a hand behind. The display extension can be gripped with the tool or by hand and easily removed from the recess. The provided for engaging behind recess may be configured substantially rectangular or semicircular. Not excluded are other geometric configurations, as long as they allow at least partially engaging behind with a tool or a hand. This recess is expediently in the center of the rear wall and thus removed from the backgrounds.
In einer weiteren Ausführungsform werden die Hinterschneidungen gebildet durch je einen, sich von der Seiteanwand der Ausnehmung parallel zu den Seitenwänden der Palette und vorzugsweise bündig mit diesen erstreckende Stege gebildet.In a further embodiment, the undercuts are formed by one each, formed by the side wall of the recess parallel to the side walls of the pallet and preferably flush with these extending webs.
Weiterhin weisen die vertikal verlaufenden die Hinterschneidungen bildenden Stege der Ausnehmung in einer bevorzugten Variante eine zusätzliche, horizontal verlaufende Aussparung auf, die bevorzugt schlitzförmig ausgestaltet ist. Die horizontale Aussparung in den vertikal verlaufenden Stegen ermöglicht eine horizontale Ausrichtung des Displayfortsatzes in der Ausnehmung. So können beispielsweise in die horizontale Aussparung Haltemittel eingebracht werden, die teilweise in das Material der Grundstruktur der Palette eindringen, nachdem sie einen in die Hinterschneidungen der Ausnehmung eingebrachten Abschnitt des Displayfortsatzes durchdrungen haben. Alternativ dienen die horizontalen Aussparungen der Aufnahme von horizontal auf dem Displayfortsatz auf- bzw. angebrachte Erhebungen. Derartige Erhebungen können beispielsweise Stege oder Nasen sein, die eingebracht in die horizontalen Aussparungen eine vertikale Bewegung des Displayfortsatzes in der Ausnehmung wirksam verhindern. Das Display muss dann nicht notwendigerweise auf der Oberseite der Palette aufsitzen. Die Aussparungen bieten auch eine Zugriffsmöglichkeit auf die in die Hinterschneidungen eingebrachten Abschnitte des Displayfortsatzes zum Lösen dieser Abschnitte.Furthermore, the vertical extending the undercuts webs of the recess in a preferred variant, an additional, horizontally extending recess, which is preferably designed slot-shaped. The horizontal recess in the vertically extending webs allows horizontal alignment of the display extension in the recess. Thus, for example, retaining means can be introduced into the horizontal recess, which partially penetrate into the material of the basic structure of the pallet after they have penetrated a section of the display extension introduced into the undercuts of the recess. Alternatively, the horizontal recesses of the receptacle are used horizontally on the display extension. or appropriate surveys. Such elevations may, for example, be webs or lugs which, when introduced into the horizontal recesses, effectively prevent a vertical movement of the display extension in the recess. The display does not necessarily have to sit on top of the pallet. The recesses also provide access to the introduced into the undercuts sections of the display extension to solve these sections.
In einer Ausführungsform sind die Ausnehmungen zweier gegenüberliegender Seitenflächen bezüglich der Länge der Seitenflächen an entsprechenden Abschnitten angeordnet. Bevorzugt weist jede der vier Seitenflächen eine Ausnehmung auf, wobei die Ausnehmungen in den Seitenflächen mittig angeordnet sind.In one embodiment, the recesses of two opposite side surfaces with respect to the length of the side surfaces are arranged at corresponding sections. Preferably, each of the four side surfaces has a recess, wherein the recesses are arranged centrally in the side surfaces.
Erfindungsgemäß weist die Palette abgerundete und nach innen versetzte Ecken auf. Displaysockel mit Fortsätzen an den Ecken, die beispielsweise auch Rastnasen aufweisen können, können über die nach innen versetzten Ecken der Palette gestülpt werden, um so eine sichere und genaue Positionierung zu gewährleisten. Des Weiteren können Fixierbänder sicher und genau an der Palette positioniert werden, wobei die nach innen versetzten Ecken ein seitliches Verrutschen der Fixierbänder verhindern.According to the invention, the pallet has rounded and inwardly offset corners. Display base with projections at the corners, which may for example also have latching noses, can be slipped over the inwardly offset corners of the pallet, so as to ensure a safe and accurate positioning. Furthermore, fixing straps can be safely and accurately positioned on the pallet, the inwardly offset corners prevent lateral slipping of the fixing straps.
Die Grundstruktur weist in einer Ausführungsform entlang einer gedachten, parallel zu einer der Seitenflächen verlaufenden Linie wenigstens eine schlitzförmige Aufnahme für ein Befestigungsmittel auf. Eine schlitzförmige Aufnahme in diesem Sinne hat zumindest zwei Seitenwände, deren Höhe mindestens der minimalen Breite, vorzugsweise der doppelten minimalen Breite, des Schlitzes entspricht. Alternativ oder zusätzlich kann sich die Aufnahme durch einen Verrastungsmechanismus, wie beispielsweise Hinterschneidungen zur Aufnahme von Rastnasen, auszeichen. In derartige schlitzförmige Aufnahmen können Befestigungsmittel, wie z. B. Stege, eingebracht werden, die die Wände des Displays zusätzlich abstützen und ein Verrutschen verhindern. Bevorzugt sind entlang einer gedachten, parallel zu einer der Seitenflächen verlaufenden Linie zwei solcher schlitzförmigen Aufnahmen parallel zueinander angeordnet.The basic structure has in one embodiment along an imaginary, parallel to one of the side surfaces extending line at least one slot-shaped receptacle for a fastening means. A slot-shaped receptacle in this sense has at least two side walls whose height corresponds to at least the minimum width, preferably twice the minimum width, of the slot. Alternatively or additionally, the receptacle can be formed by a latching mechanism, such as undercuts for receiving latching lugs, for example. are characteristic for. In such slot-shaped recordings fasteners, such. As webs are introduced, which additionally support the walls of the display and prevent slipping. Preferably, two such slot-shaped receptacles are arranged parallel to one another along an imaginary line extending parallel to one of the side surfaces.
Im Allgemeinen haben die beiden Paare von gegenüberliegenden Seitenflächen unterschiedliche Längen, so dass die entlang der längeren Seitenflächen verlaufende Richtung zwanglos als Längsrichtung bezeichnet werden kann. Im Falle einer quadratischen Palette kann willkürlich eine der Richtungen der Seitenflächen als Längsrichtung definiert werden. In einer Ausführungsform sind entlang der in Längsrichtung verlaufenden Mittellinie zwei zueinander in Längsrichtung beabstandete Aufnahmen für Befestigungsmittel vorgesehen. Eine solche Aufnahme kann ein schlitzförmige Aufnahme in dem oben beschriebene Sinne sein. Mit Hilfe dieser Aufnahmen können auch Displays mit einer kleineren Grundfläche auf der Grundstruktur befestigt werden. Ist die Grundstruktur der Palette quadratisch ausgeführt, so tritt an die Stelle der Längsrichtung eine der zwei die Grundstruktur in einer Draufsicht halbierenden Mittellinien. Derartige, schlitzförmige Aufnahmen unterscheiden sich von anderen Durchbrüchen in der Ober- und Unterseite der Palette vor allem dadurch, dass sie sich senkrecht zur Ober- und Unterseite Wände erstreckende Seitenwände haben die in eine größere Tiefe reichen als die Wandstärke des Palettenmaterials oder etwaige Verstärkungsrippen.In general, the two pairs of opposite side surfaces have different lengths, so that the direction along the longer side surfaces extending direction can be easily referred to as the longitudinal direction. In the case of a square pallet, one of the directions of the side surfaces can be arbitrarily defined as a longitudinal direction. In one embodiment, along the longitudinal centerline, there are provided two fastener receptacles spaced from each other longitudinally. Such a receptacle may be a slot-shaped receptacle in the sense described above. With the help of these recordings, displays with a smaller footprint can also be attached to the basic structure. If the basic structure of the pallet is made square, one of the two center lines bisecting the basic structure in a plan view takes the place of the longitudinal direction. Such, slot-shaped recordings differ from other breakthroughs in the top and bottom of the pallet mainly in that they have perpendicular to the top and bottom walls extending side walls which extend to a greater depth than the wall thickness of the pallet material or any reinforcing ribs.
Bevorzugt sind die auf der Mittellinie angeordneten Aufnahmen für ein Befestigungsmittel rechteckig ausgeformt.Preferably, arranged on the center line shots for a fastener are formed rectangular.
In einer Ausführungsform weist zumindest eine Seitenfläche eines Fußes der Palette, vorzugsweise zweier Füße und besonders bevorzugt aller Füße, eine Ausnehmung zum Befestigen von Verpackungsmaterial auf. Die Ausnehmungen an den Füßen können insbesondere dreieckig ausgeformt sein, wobei beispielsweise eine Stretchfolie in die Ausnehmung hineingeführt und in einer Ecke der dreieckigen Ausnehmung eingeklemmt werden kann. Vorgesehen ist auch, dass ein Fixierband mit beispielsweise einem Haken in der Aussparung der Seitenfläche zur Transportsicherung befestigbar ist.In one embodiment, at least one side surface of a foot of the pallet, preferably two feet and more preferably All feet, a recess for attaching packaging material. The recesses on the feet can in particular be triangular in shape, wherein, for example, a stretch film can be guided into the recess and clamped in a corner of the triangular recess. It is also envisaged that a fixing belt with, for example, a hook in the recess of the side surface for securing transport can be fastened.
In einer besonders bevorzugten Ausführungsform werden die Füße durch eine von der Oberseite ausgehende trichterförmige Vertiefung gebildet von deren Grund sich ein zentraler Pyramidenstumpf sich bis zu der Oberseite erstreckt. Die Füße besten so gesehen näherungsweise aus einem in seiner vertikalen Mitte in sich zurück gefalteten Pyramidenstumpf. Vorzugsweise weisen zwei von vier Füßen einen länglichen Querschnitt auf, deren längere Achsen parallel zu der Längsachse der Palette ausgerichtet sind. Eine Wand der trichterförmigen Vertiefung der Füße kann durchbrochen sein, so dass man neben dem Fuss von der Oberseite zur Unterseite der Grundstruktur erstreckende Durchführung erhält.In a particularly preferred embodiment, the feet are formed by a funnel-shaped recess extending from the top, from the bottom of which a central truncated pyramid extends up to the top. The feet best seen so approximately from a in its vertical center folded back into truncated pyramid. Preferably, two out of four feet have an elongate cross section whose longer axes are aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis of the pallet. A wall of the funnel-shaped recess of the feet may be broken, so that you receive next to the foot from the top to the bottom of the basic structure extending implementation.
In einer Ausführungsform weist die Grundstruktur im Wechsel nach oben offene und nach unten offene Vertiefungen/Rippen auf, die mit Querverstrebungen versteift sind. Eine derartig ausgestaltete Palette hilft, die Materialkosten bei der Herstellung zu senken, wobei in der Folge durch das verringerte Transportgewicht auch die Transportkosten sinken.In one embodiment, the base structure alternately has upwardly open and downwardly open recesses / ribs which are stiffened with cross braces. A pallet designed in this way helps to reduce the material costs during production, as a result of which the reduced transport weight also reduces transport costs.
Zur Ladungssicherung in einer Ausführungsform beispielsweise vorgesehen, dass die Unterseite und/oder die Oberseite der Grundstruktur Fixierabschnitte für die Befestigung von Fixierbändern aufweist. Die Fixierbänder können aus der Ober- und Unterseite gestanzte Aussparungen sein, die beispielsweise eine längliche Form mit abgerundeten Ecken haben. Die herausgestanzten Aussparungen dienen auch dem Ablauf von Flüssigkeiten, welche sich sonst in den Vertiefungen der Palette sammeln könnten.For securing the load in one embodiment, it is provided, for example, that the lower side and / or the upper side of the basic structure have fixing sections for fastening fixing straps. The fixing straps can be punched out of the top and bottom recesses, for example, have an elongated shape with rounded corners. The punched out recesses are used also the drain of liquids, which could otherwise accumulate in the recesses of the pallet.
In einer Ausführungsform ist die Palette derart ausgestaltet, dass mehrere Paletten übereinander stapelbar sind. Zu diesem Zweck ist bevorzugt die Unterseite der Grundstruktür derart komplementär zu der Oberseite der Grundstruktur ausgestaltet, dass zwei Paletten zumindest abschnittsweise ineinandergreifen.In one embodiment, the pallet is configured such that a plurality of pallets can be stacked one above the other. For this purpose, the underside of the basic structure is preferably designed to be complementary to the upper side of the basic structure in such a way that two pallets interlock at least in sections.

Die Ausnehmungen 7 weisen an ihren vertikal verlaufenden Begrenzungen vertikal verlaufende Hinterschneidungen 9 auf, wobei die Hinterschneidungen 9 sich über die gesamte vertikale Ausdehnung der Ausnehmung 7 erstrecken. Die Ausnehmungen 7 erstrecken sich hier wiederum über die gesamte vertikale Ausdehnung der jeweiligen Seitenfläche 3. Mit anderen Worten ist jede der vier Seitenflächen 3 durch eine der vier Ausnehmungen 7 unterbrochen.The
Die horizontale Querschnittsfläche 10 der Ausnehmung 7 ist im Wesentlichen rechteckig ausgestaltet, wobei die horizontale Querschnittsfläche 10 von der Unterseite 5 in Richtung der Oberseite 4 abnimmt. Durch die rechteckige Form der horizontalen Querschnittsfläche 10 und deren Abnahme in Richtung der Oberseite 4 der Grundstruktur, weist die Ausnehmung 7 in einem Schnitt senkrecht zu der Seitenfläche 3 ein sich nach oben verjüngendes keilförmiges Profil auf. Ein Displayfortsatz 8 welcher in die Ausnehmung 7 eingebracht wird und ein entsprechendes Keilprofil aufweist, kann sich einerseits an die hintere Begrenzungsfläche der Ausnehmung 7 anlegen und wird dadurch abgestützt. Andererseits greifen umgefaltete Keilabschnitte 22 hinter die vertikal verlaufenden Stege 23, welche die Hinterschneidungen 9 bilden und verhindern so, dass der Displayfortsatz 8 nach oben oder seitlich aus der Ausnehmung 7 hinaus bewegt werden kann.The horizontal

Weiter ist erkennbar, dass die Grundstruktur 2 Vertiefungen und Rippen 18 aufweist. Diese im Wechsel nach oben und unten offene Strukturen sind mit Querverstrebungen versteift und definieren je eine Ebene der Ober- bzw. der Unterseite 5, 4 der Palette 1.It can also be seen that the basic structure has 2 depressions and
An der einen gezeigten Seitenfläche 3 ist eine Ausnehmung 7 zur Aufnahme eines Displayfortsatzes 8 vorgesehen. Erkennbar erstreckt sich die Ausnehmung 7 über die vertikal verlaufende Ausdehnung der Seitenfläche 3, so dass die Seitenfläche 3 durch die Ausnehmung 7 unterbrochen ist.On one
Die Ausnehmung 7 weist an ihren vertikal verlaufenden Begrenzungen vertikal verlaufende Hinterschneidungen 9 auf, die sich über die gesamte vertikale Ausdehnung der Ausnehmung 7 erstrecken und von Stegen 23 gebildet werden, die sich bündig mit der Seitenwandoberflläche von den seitlichen Begrenzungen der Ausnehmungen 7 und in diese hinein erstrecken.

Ein schwalbenschwanzförmiger Displayfortsatz 8 kann von der Seite in die Ausnehmung 7 gedrückt werden, wobei sich die seitlichen Keilabschnitte 22 des Displayfortsatzes 8 entlang einer vorgefalzten Linie umbiegen und nach dem Passieren der Stege 23 wieder teilweise aufbiegen und in die vertikal verlaufenden Hinterschneidungen 9 eingreifen. Die Falzkante liegt dabei an der rückwandigen Begrenzung der Ausnehmung 7 an und gewährleistet so, dass die Keilabschnitte 22 form- und kraftschlüssig in den Hinterschneidungen 9 gehalten werden. Die keilartige Form des seitlichen Hinterschneidungsprofils verhindert dabei, dass der Displayfortsatz 8 nach oben aus der Ausnehmung 7 heraus bewegt werden kann. Ein Herausgleiten nach unten wird verhindert entweder durch das Aufsitzen des Displays 20 auf der Oberseite 4 der Palette 1 oder durch Eingriff von Vorsprüngen in die Aussparungen 11 der Stege 23.A dovetail-shaped
Der Displayfortsatz 8 wird zudem an der rückwandigen Begrenzung der Ausnehmung 7 großflächig abgestützt, wodurch die Stabilität erhöht ist. Wie hier dargestellt, kann das Display 20 und der Displayfortsatz 8 eine Wellpappenstruktur 22 aufweisen.The

Die Seitenfläche 3 weist eine Ausnehmung 7 auf, in die ein Displayfortsatz 8 eingebracht ist. Der Displayfortsatz 8 hat eine Wellpappenstruktur 21 und zwei Keilabschnitte 22, die entlang einer vorgefaltzen Linie abknickbar sind.The
Die abgeknickten Keilabschnitte 22 greifen in die vertikal verlaufenden Hinterschneidungen 9 der Ausnehmung 7 und fixieren so den Displayfortsatz 8 in der Ausnehmung 7. Weil die horizontale Querschnittsfläche 10 der Ausnehmung 7 rechteckig ausgestaltet ist und von der Unterseite 5 der Grundstruktur 2 in Richtung der Oberseite 4 abnimmt, ist das Seitenprofil der Ausnehmung 7 keilförmig. Die Keilform bewirkt, dass die Keilabschnitte 22 des Displayfortsatzes 8 nicht in Richtung der Oberseite 4 der Grundstruktur 2 aus der Ausnehmung 7 heraus bewegt werden können. Zu dem kann der Displayfortsatz 8 an der rückwaridigen Ausnehmung 7 großflächig abgestützt werden, so dass die Stabilität der Befestigung erhöht ist.The

Die die Hinterschneidungen 9 bildenden Stege 23 haben hier eine horizontal verlaufende Aussparung 11, in die eine an den Keilabschnitten 22 angeordnete Nase eingreifen kann, wodurch eine vertikale Bewegung des Displayfortsatzes 8 in der Ausnehmung 7 verhindert werden kann. Durch die schlitzförmige Aussparung 11 ist es weiter möglich, die Keilabschnitte 22 aus der Hinterschneidung 9 bei Bedarf zu lösen. Hierzu kann beispielsweise ein Werkzeug in die schlitzförmigen Aussparungen 11 eingeführt werden, mit dem die Keilabschnitte 22 umgebogen und aus den Hinterschneidungen 22 heraus gezogen werden können. Stehen die in die horizontal verlaufenden Aussparungen 11 eingebrachten Nasen über die Seitenfläche 3 hervor, so bedarf es keines Werkzeugs, um die Keilabschnitte 22 umzubiegen und aus der Hinterschneidung 9 herauszuführen.The
