The invention relates to a four-way pallet.

There is a four-way pallet known, which od from a blank of cardboard. The like. Consists of a A plurality of parallel spaced apart ones extending between two opposite edges Notched grooves is provided. The blank is folded along these notch grooves so that between vertical Side parts horizontally running lower and upper surfaces are created. These areas each form together with the adjoining side parts, open longitudinal channels either at the top or at the bottom. The channels on the edge of the pallet are closed by folds. The vertical Side parts of the channels are provided with openings for inserting the lift stacker fork in the transverse direction. In these openings, transverse reinforcements that are open at the bottom are inserted with the support of a part the upper surfaces of the longitudinal channels open at the bottom. The transverse stiffeners, for their part, have recesses to insert the fork lengthways.

This known stacking plate, however, does not have great rigidity and also has large open spaces Revenge on the top and bottom, so that the goods or goods picked up on the stacking plate another stacking plate, on which the respective stacking plate is placed, can slide into it. This creates the risk of an uneven distribution of the load, which leads to a deformation of the stacking plate can lead. Furthermore, the insertion of the forklift forks is hindered or the goods can can be damaged by the forks of the forklift truck.

Finally, this known stacking plate is preferably used as a two-way plate. For the When used as a four-way plate, several retractable reinforcement ribs must be pulled out, to allow lifting from all four sides. Without these ribs, the pallet is natural not as stable as before.

The object of the invention is to create a system that can be assembled from corrugated cardboard blanks Range of great rigidity and the smoothest possible surface and lower surface to avoid the above Inconveniences.

To solve this problem, there are more open at the top than at the bottom in the present four-way pallet Open channels are provided, and additional channel-shaped longitudinal stiffeners are provided in the channels that are open at the top inserted, which in turn with part of its upper surface on the surface of the cross stiffeners rest.

As a result of the fact that the channels are more open at the top than at the bottom, the number of additional channels increases inserted channel-shaped longitudinal stiffeners in connection with the transverse stiffeners give the four-way pallet great rigidity and result in the smoothest possible surface. The on Channels located on the edge of the pallet are closed by folds in the present pallet, which run from top to bottom and with the edge part on the underside an adjacent one Overlaps the floor surface to which it is attached, thus ensuring a good attachment with low stresses is made possible.

An exemplary embodiment is shown schematically in the drawing. It shows

F i g. 1 is a perspective view of the stacking plate and

F i g. 2 shows a section along line 4-4 in FIG. 1.

The F i g. 1 shows a blank made of cardboard, corrugated cardboard or the like. With a plurality of between two opposite edges running, spaced parallel notch grooves is. The blank is folded along these notch grooves so that between vertical side parts 14 horizontally extending lower and upper surfaces 13, 12 arise. These surfaces 12, 13 each form together with the adjoining side parts 14 either above or below open longitudinal channels. The channels located on the edge of the pallet are closed by folds 14 ', 13'. Which thereby overlapping base parts 13 and 13 'can also be detachably connected to one another in any desired manner be.

The vertical side parts 14 of the channels are used to insert the fork lift truck in the transverse direction trapezoidal openings provided. Cross stiffeners 16 that are open at the bottom are inserted into these openings. The transverse stiffeners are trapezoidal with two legs 18 and one in the middle Part 17 and support part of the upper surfaces 12 of the longitudinal channels open at the bottom. In the outer Side parts 14 have rectangular openings which cover the ends of the legs 18 and thereby hold the transverse stiffeners 16 in their position. The cross stiffeners 16 consist of one Rectangular blank made of, for example, kraft veneer board, which is provided with two notched grooves.

The transverse stiffeners 16 for their part have recesses for inserting the fork in the longitudinal direction.

In each of the channels open at the top, additional channel-shaped longitudinal stiffeners 19,21 are inserted are provided in their legs 20 with trapezoidal openings, so that they in turn with a part their upper surface rest on the surface of the central part 17 of the transverse stiffeners 16. The longitudinal stiffeners 19,21 can with the cross stiffeners 16 z. B. fastened by a clamp connection even though the load in and of itself holds the parts of the stacking plate together.

The channels used to accommodate the forks in the longitudinal direction are through at the top and at the sides the stiffeners 19 and limited below by the surfaces 13 over the entire length of the stacking plate. in the In contrast to these outer channels, which are provided with longitudinal stiffeners 19 along their entire length are, the longitudinal stiffeners 21 of the central channel can only be arranged between the transverse stiffeners 16 be. However, as shown in FIG. 1 shown in dashed lines, also over the entire area Extend length. Like the transverse reinforcements 16, the longitudinal reinforcements 19, 20 are also made rectangular blanks that are provided with two notched grooves.

The four-way stacking plate can be easily put together after folding the blanks and can if necessary, after loosening the few connections, folded flat in a space-saving manner and transport at low weight.

Claims (1)

Claim: Four-way pallet, consisting of a blank of cardboard or the like. With a variety of running between two opposite edges, spaced parallel Notched grooves and is folded along these notched grooves that between vertical Side parts horizontally running lower and upper surfaces are created, each together with the adjoining side parts either above or below open longitudinal channels form, with the channels located on the edge of the pallet closed by folds and the vertical side parts for inserting the fork lift truck in the transverse direction Openings are provided in the downwardly open transverse stiffeners with the support of a part the upper surfaces of the longitudinal channels open at the bottom are used, which in turn have recesses for inserting the fork in the longitudinal direction, characterized in that more channels open at the top than open at the bottom are provided and additional channel-shaped longitudinal stiffeners (19, 21) are inserted, which in turn have part of their upper surface on the surface of the cross stiffeners (17) rest.
