摘要:
A pallet (1) made of plastic or other materials is provided with a plurality of hollow feet (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8) at its underside (10). These are obtained by depressing the pallet material. At least one of these feet—foot (8)—has a length (L′) substantially corresponding to the length (L)—or width (B)—of the pallet. This foot (8) contains at least two inner comparatively wide support parts (13, 14, 15), arranged in series and projecting from the bottom part (16) of the foot (8). In this way, according to fire tests—where several identical pallets (1) filled with goods were stacked on top of each other—each pallet (1) has a unique ability to extinguish flames generated in goods on the pallet located directly below the pallet in question, and moreover, the pallet also shows considerable dimensional stability. This makes the pallet (1) particularly suitable for transport on transport means, optionally roller conveyors which cause many bumps.

An apparatus is disclosed for manufacturing corrugated pallets from a base panel of corrugated material, a top panel of corrugated material and a plurality of spacers blocks. Each of the spacer blocks is bonded to the base sheet and top sheet. The apparatus comprises a loading station for receiving the base panel and top panel, and a glue applicator for extruding a plurality of continuous sheets of glue to predetermined areas of the base panel and top panel. An assembly station includes a locating system for receiving and locating the base panels, spacer blocks and top panel in relation to the base panel when the top panel is placed upon a plurality of spacer blocks to form the corrugated pallet. A transfer compression station for applying a continuous initial pressure to the corrugated pallet at the base and top panels of the corrugated pallet while simultaneously transferring the corrugated pallet in a horizontal direction. A final compression station for applying a final glue setting pressure to the corrugated pallet. A conveyor for transferring the base and top panels from the loading station through the glue applicator. The conveyor also transfers the base and top panels from the glue applicator to the assembly station. The compression conveyor transfers the corrugated pallet from the assembly station to the final compression station.

A plastic pallet having an upper, article-receiving and supporting surface and a lower surface in contact with the ground. The pallet includes a conductive element that extends from the upper surface to the lower surface to define a continuous conductive path between the surfaces to conduct to the ground static electrical charges that build up on the pallet and on the article or articles carried on the pallet. The conductive element can be in the form of a metallic rod or wire, or in the form of a plurality of conductive particles, such as metal or carbon particles that are carried in a suitable binder material.
摘要:
A molding system for molding hollow bodies and an article, such as a pallet, produced by means of such system. In a preferred form, the pallet is a rectangular parallelepiped hollow molding and is specifically shaped during molding, to be substantially stiffened by means of its shape and to receive and support one or more blades of a lifting and handling device. In one form, one or more stiffening members extend across the hollow molding and are retained therein as a result of having the molding material molded about the stiffening members. In another form, two stiffening members are provided, each extending along a respective border portion of the hollow molding parallel to the other stiffening member. The invention is also concerned with a method for molding large hollow bodies by means of a fast setting resin which is premixed just before it is introduced into a mold.
摘要:
An article having non-planar portions, such as a pallet having a substantially flat deck member and a plurality of hollow leg members projecting integrally from the deck member, is molded as a one-piece unit from a loosely-felted, layered mat formed from a mixture of a resinous particle board binder and flake-like wood particles. The wood flakes have an average length of about 11/4 to about 6 inches, preferably about 2 to about 3 inches, an average thickness of about 0.005 to about 0.075 inch, preferably about 0.015 to about 0.025 inch, and an average width of 3 inches or less and no greater than the average length. Each layer of wood flakes in the mat lie substantially flat on a plane generally parallel to the major plane thereof and are randomly oriented to each other. The mat is placed between the male and female dies of a mold or press and compressed therein to substantially the desired shape under temperature and pressure conditions sufficient to bond the flakes together.

This invention relates to pallets employed in materials handling on wheel conveyors, also known as skate or skatewheel conveyors, and more particularly to a pallet which is self-guiding along the conveyor.

An improved loading platform or pallet formed in a single body or element by molding includes eight rectangular external elongated frame partitions, aligned in pairs, forming the edges of a rectangle, the vertices and a central zone of which are free. The pallet also includes eight internal partitions, arranged in parallel pairs, in the form of a cross. The internal and external partitions have therein aligned openings which form tunnels for the receipt of the fork of a fork lift truck. The eight internal partitions extend outwardly from the arms of an Xshaped core of the pallet. The upper and lower faces of the pallet include plates which form the actual load bearing surfaces.
摘要:
A molded, nestable pallet having a load receiving deck and leg members for supporting the deck above the floor. The top surface of the deck has upwardly extending, perpendicularly arranged means for centering coiled material. The underside of the deck has areas arranged to be contacted by conventional lifting equipment. The underside of the deck is also arranged to accommodate strapping or tie-down material in such a way as to prevent contact thereof by conventional lifting equipment.
摘要:
A molded plastic cargo handling palette comprises a plurality of relatively small, parallel box channels 9, 14, 18, 19 interconnected by straight and angled webs 20, 21. Below these upper channels and transverse thereto are three relatively large support channels 2, 3 each having two spaced reinforcing boxes 4 extending through them and aligned between adjacent support channels. The resulting palette is structurally strong and can accommodate fork lift prongs from either side.
摘要:
Processes, a pallet (10) and a pallet system are provided for the handling of goods. The pallet (10) includes a main body (12) defining a load deck (16) and feet (18) and the main body (12) is suitable to be used as a pallet for applications such as light duty, one-way transport of goods. The pallet (10) further includes a bottom accessory (14) that can be attached to the feet (18) of the main body (12) to form beams (44,46) extending between the feet (18) to convert the main body (12) into pallet (10) that is suitable for use in heavy duty applications such as in pallet pools. The main body (12) and bottom accessory (14) are each configured to allow them to be nested, when not attached to each other. The processes of the invention include using the main body (12) to transport goods from manufacturers and then attaching the bottom accessory (14) to the main body (12) to form a pallet (10) for use in a pallet pool. The pallet system includes a variety of attachments that can be attached to the main body (12) and/or the accessory (14) and can be removed, as necessary.
