Description

“LOW WEIGHT AND GREAT RESISTANCE NERVOTED METAL PALETTE ARRANGEMENT” [0001] Addresses the present Utility Model application of a new “LOW WEIGHT AND GREAT RESISTANCE METAL PALETTE ARRANGEMENT”, especially a conformal metal pallet conventional, obtained through thin profiles which have several folds that increase their resistance, designed for the purpose of obtaining a product highly resistant to the load and weather and use in general, of low mass given the thickness of said profiles with the specific purpose of packing any product that can be transported in forklifts or “jealous”, with extreme rationality and useful life of said pallet, being the claimed product highly providential, due to the inexistence in the market of a pallet that offers this ratio strength x weight x service life. As is well known to those skilled in the art, logistics is a prime subject for the commercial and financial success of companies in the most diverse sectors. It is well known that logistics refers to the flow of materials / products from supplier to end consumer and vice versa. Basically there is the traditional logistics and the reverse logistics, of differentiated treatments due to the cost composition, in the latter that preaches the reprocessing that the products, materials and packaging may have. Reverse logistics can be observed for a long time, for example, in the case of containers used in the return beverage industry and in their crates, or even in canned beverages whose return rate is also generated by the high degree of recycling of this type of packaging that even has a social imprint. Another example that can be applied to reverse logistics is the use of pallets, encouraged by “just in time” policies where product turnover is high, and these pallets must move throughout the production and supply chain. so the sturdier and cheaper the pallet, the better the cost-benefit ratio will be. In the present state of the art various types of pallets made of wood are known; plastic; paper; high-weight rubber or steel, each of which has some type of drawback as described below: • Wooden pallet - excessive weight; shorter service life; product contamination; ecologically incorrect; does not support moisture; • Plastic pallet - high cost; difficulty of maintenance in cases of cracks and breaks; lack of dimensional flexibility; • Paper pallet - reduced service life; not washable; No moisture resistance and low mechanical resistance; • Rubber pallet - high cost; high weight; difficult maintenance, reduced dimensional flexibility; • Steel pallet - high weight and high cost. Therefore, in the current state of the art, all known pallets present some type of drawback, such as those mentioned above impacting the reverse logistics system which indirectly increases the indirect costs adding value to the final product, which in days of fierce competition. It is not recommended at all. Under these conditions, limitations are created regarding the optimization of pallets in reverse logistics systems, which is, as already mentioned, a determining factor in the increase of transportation costs, an important component in the final cost of the product. It was thinking about all these problems that the inventor, after countless researches, created the pallet in question, essentially of conventional conformation, that is, formed by properly spaced inferior and superior pieces, generating a grate where the tweezers are inserted. forklift trucks or other similar equipment as it is practiced today, notably being made of a thin metal profile whose strength is obtained through a series of folds made in said profile, so as to give it conditions to support large loads, generating a light weight product, long service life and mechanical strength. In the following, the model is explained with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which they are shown by way of illustration and not limitation: Figure 1: Perspective view of the arrangement applied on pallets of low weight and high strength ribbed metal pallet, with end detail;

[0011] The “LOW WEIGHT AND GREAT RESISTANCE METAL PALETTE ARRANGEMENT”, pallet (1), the subject of this Utility Model Patent Application applies to the storage and transportation of any and all parts and packaging. being of conventional conformation that stands out for being of low weight and great resistance, since it is made from metallic blades whose resistance is obtained through a series of ribs or folds (D) giving a mass profile (P) reduced, high strength and service life, washable, with great dimensional flexibility, low cost, recyclable and does not contaminate the products packed in it meeting the requirements of specific standard. [0012] More particularly, the innovation concerns a pallet (1) made from thin metal profile (P), the strength of which is obtained by forming several folds (D), preferably U-folds, It can assume other configurations such as half cane (MC), for example, which after profiling associates great mechanical resistance combined with reduced weight compared to conventional pallets (1). The attached figures show the profile (P) in its preferred shape whose constructive arrangement makes alternate U-folds (D) being one U-fold up (D1) and another U-fold (D2) down. The construction of the pallet (1) in question takes place with the profiles (P), already shaped, and arranged to form a lower base formed by overlapping profiles (P) duly spaced by prismatic bungs (2), preferably rubberized, with central recess (3) able to receive at least two downwardly facing (D2) “U” folds and extreme projections (4) that receive upwardly directed (D1) “U” folds, thus fitting with perfection to said profiles (P), generating the pallet holding base (1), and generating sufficient depth (5) for forklift clamp entry or similar equipment. Once the base is formed, preferably three in number, they are locked by transverse profiles (PT) joined to the base by known means such as solder, screws, rivets or any other means, such as the base whose profiles (P) after fitting to the bungs (2) are fixed to them. In this way the profile (P) in addition to the alternating U-fold may take the shape of half-rod (MC) or any other shape. The finish of the claimed profile (P) can be any one that adequately preserves it against corrosion, being necessary due cost-benefit evaluation in the choice of the finish that can be painted, galvanized, bi-chromatized, or any other type of finish. finishing and / or material.

Claims (1)

1) “LOW WEIGHT AND GREAT RESISTANCE NERVOTED METAL PALETTE ARRANGEMENT”, consists of a pallet (1) that applies to the storage and transportation of any type of parts and packaging, being of conventional conformation, manufactured from low-thickness metallic profile (P), the strength of which is obtained by forming several folds (D), U-folds; profile (P) in its shape makes U-folds (D) “alternate being one fold (D1)” U “up and another fold (D2)” U “down; the pallet (1) in question is constructed with the profiles (P) arranged to form a lower base formed by overlapping profiles (P) duly spaced by prismatic rubberized (2) bugs with central recess (3) able to accommodate at least two downwardly facing (D2) “U” folds and extreme projections (4) that accommodate the upwardly directed (D1) “U” folds, thus perfectly fitting said profiles (P), generating the pallet support base (1), in addition to generating the floor (5); said base, in number of three, they are locked by transverse profiles (PT) joined to the base by means already known as solder, screws, rivets, such as the base whose profiles (P) after being fitted to the bungs (2) are fixed to them characterized by the fact that the profile (P) assumes configuration half cane (MC).
