La présente invention a pour objet une palette de manutention qui peut être réalisée en carton, en matière plastique, en bois moulé, ou tout autre matériau.The present invention relates to a handling pallet which can be made of cardboard, plastic, molded wood, or any other material.
Les palettes de manutention en carton actuelles sont généralement constituées de longerons formant le plancher supportant la charge et de traverses reliant les longerons parallèlement entre eux, lesdits longerons reposant directement sur le sol ou toute autre surface.Current cardboard handling pallets generally consist of side members forming the floor supporting the load and cross members connecting the side members parallel to each other, said side members resting directly on the ground or any other surface.
Un des problèmes posés par ce type de palettes en matériau non rigide tient à la résistance des éléments les constituant, et notamment à la faible résistance des longerons à l'écrasement. Pour y remédier on a proposé de réaliser des longerons à partir de feuilles de carton pliées plusieurs fois, de manière à obtenir des longerons d'une plus grande solidité.One of the problems posed by this type of non-rigid material pallets is due to the resistance of the elements constituting them, and in particular to the low resistance of the longitudinal members to crushing. To remedy this, it has been proposed to make beams from cardboard sheets folded several times, so as to obtain beams of greater strength.
Toutefois les palettes ainsi réalisées présentent des risques de voilage du fait que les différents éléments qui les constituent ne sont pas complètement bloqués en position. En outre les opérations de pliage des feuilles en carton destinées à former les longerons, et la quantité de matériau qu'elles nécessitent, conduisent à des coûts de fabrication élevés.However, the pallets thus produced present risks of warping because the different elements which constitute them are not completely locked in position. In addition, the folding operations of the cardboard sheets intended to form the longitudinal members, and the quantity of material which they require, lead to high manufacturing costs.
La présente invention a pour but de remédier à ces inconvénients en proposant une palette qui présente une bonne résistance à la charge et un coût de fabrication plus faible.The object of the present invention is to remedy these drawbacks by proposing a pallet which has good load resistance and a lower manufacturing cost.
La palette selon l'invention se caractérise essentiellement en ce qu'elle comprend d'une part un plateau dont la face supérieure est destinée à recevoir la charge et dont la face inférieure et munie d'éléments de renforts longitudinaux ou transversaux plies en U ou en V ; et d'autre part des éléments de support longitudinaux ou transversaux dudit plateau, également plies en U ou en V, solidarisés longitudinalement ou transversalement aux éléments de renfort par emboîtement réciproque d'encoches pratiquées dans lesdits éléments de renfort et de support.The pallet according to the invention is essentially characterized in that it comprises on the one hand a plate whose upper face is intended to receive the load and whose lower face and provided with longitudinal or transverse reinforcing elements folded in a U or in V; and on the other hand longitudinal or transverse support elements of said plate, also folded in a U or V shape, joined longitudinally or transversely to the reinforcement elements by reciprocal interlocking of notches formed in said reinforcement and support elements.
Dans un premier mode de réalisation de la palette selon l'invention, les éléments de renfort sont fixés par leurs bords longitudinaux à la face inférieure du plateau et les bords longitudinaux des éléments de support leur sont solidarisés perpendiculairement, par emboîtement réciproque d'encoches pratiquées d'une part dans les bords longitudinaux des éléments de support et d'autre part dans le pli longitudinal des éléments de renfort, la palette reposant sur les plis longitudinaux des éléments de support. Dans ce mode de réalisation le plateau peut être formé d'une plaque d'une certaine épaisseur ou de planches juxtaposées .In a first embodiment of the pallet according to the invention, the reinforcing elements are fixed by their longitudinal edges to the underside of the plate and the longitudinal edges of the support elements are secured to them perpendicularly, by reciprocal interlocking of notches formed on the one hand in the longitudinal edges support elements and secondly in the longitudinal fold of the reinforcing elements, the pallet resting on the longitudinal folds of the support elements. In this embodiment, the plate can be formed of a plate of a certain thickness or of juxtaposed boards.
Dans un deuxième mode de réalisation de la palette selon l'invention, le plateau est constitué de l'ensemble des seuls éléments de renfort, lesquels sont solidarisés aux éléments de support par emboîtement réciproque à l'aide d'encoches pratiquées dans les éléments de support et de lumières pratiquées dans les éléments de renfort.In a second embodiment of the pallet according to the invention, the plate consists of all of the only reinforcing elements, which are secured to the support elements by reciprocal interlocking using notches made in the elements of support and lights made in the reinforcing elements.
Dans ce mode de réalisation tant les éléments de renfort que les éléments de support sont constitués de l'assemblage d'un premier flanc de carton plié en U ou en V avec un deuxième flanc de carton plié de manière que s'y emboîtent les bords longitudinaux du premier flanc, que le deuxième recouvre jusqu'à une certaine hauteur. Les avantages et les caractéristiques de la présente invention ressortiront plus clairement de la description qui suit et qui se • rapporte au dessin annexé, étant entendu que cette description ne présente aucun caractère limitatif vis à vis de l'invention. Dans le dessin annexé :In this embodiment, both the reinforcing elements and the support elements consist of assembling a first side of cardboard folded in a U or V shape with a second side of cardboard folded so that the edges fit therein. longitudinal of the first side, which the second covers up to a certain height. The advantages and characteristics of the present invention will emerge more clearly from the description which follows and which relates to the appended drawing, it being understood that this description has no limiting character with respect to the invention.

Si on se réfère à la figure 1 on peut voir que dans un premier mode de réalisation la palette selon l'invention comprend d'une part un plateau 1 destiné à supporter des charges, constitué de plusieurs feuilles de carton 10 d'une certaine épaisseur superposées et solidarisées entre elles par collage, et d'autre part des éléments de renfort 2 du plateau 1, réalisés à partir de feuilles de carton d'une certaine épaisseur pliées en V. Les éléments de renfort 2 sont solidarisés à la face inférieure 11 du plateau 1 grâce à des évidements longitudinaux 12, régulièrement espacés, dont une partie d'un seul évidement 12 est visible sur la figure. La solidarisation des éléments de renfort 2 est rendue possible par l'élasticité transversale de leurs côtés, dont les bords longitudinaux 21 sont calés dans le fond des épaulements 13 créés par les évidements 12.If we refer to Figure 1 we can see that in a first embodiment the pallet according to the invention comprises on the one hand a tray 1 intended to support loads, consisting of several sheets of cardboard 10 of a certain thickness superimposed and secured to each other by gluing, and on the other hand reinforcing elements 2 of the plate 1, produced from sheets of cardboard of a certain thickness folded in V. The reinforcing elements 2 are secured to the lower face 11 of the plate 1 thanks to longitudinal recesses 12, regularly spaced apart, part of a single recess 12 is visible in the figure. The joining of the reinforcing elements 2 is made possible by the transverse elasticity of their sides, whose longitudinal edges 21 are wedged in the bottom of the shoulders 13 created by the recesses 12.
On peut voir également sur la figure 1 les éléments de support 3 du plateau 1, disposés perpendiculairement aux éléments de renfort 2 et constitués de flancs de carton plies en V et comportant chacun des encoches 30 pratiquées dans leurs bords longitudinaux 31, destinées à s'emboîter dans des encoches 20 pratiquées dans le pli longitudinal 22 des éléments de renfort 2 afin de les solidariser à ces derniers grâce à leur élasticité transversale. La palette ainsi constituée repose sur le sol ou toute autre surface par 1 ' intermédiaire des plis longitudinaux 32 des éléments de support 3.We can also see in Figure 1 the support elements 3 of the tray 1, arranged perpendicular to the reinforcing elements 2 and consisting of cardboard sides folded in V and each having notches 30 formed in their longitudinal edges 31, intended to s' nest in notches 20 made in the longitudinal fold 22 of the reinforcing elements 2 in order to secure them to the latter thanks to their transverse elasticity. The pallet thus formed rests on the ground or any other surface by means of the longitudinal folds 32 of the support elements 3.
Les éléments de support 3 peuvent avantageusement avoir une section transversale en forme de U, plus particulièrement adaptée à supporter des charges lourdes. Si on se réfère à la figure 2 on peut voir que les éléments de support 3 peuvent être constitués de l'assemblage de deux éléments 33 et 34 de section transversale en forme de U emboîtés l'un 34 dans l'autre 33, destinés à être solidarisés à la face inférieure 11 du plateau 1 par leurs bords longitudinaux 31. L'élément de support externe 33 comporte deux découpes 36 pratiquées dans son fond 37, pour le passage de la fourche d'un engin élévateur. Les dimensions de l'élément interne 34 sont déterminées de manière que son fond 35 se trouve légèrement sous le bord supérieur des découpes 36, ce qui permet d'éviter d'abîmer ce dernier lors du soulèvement de la palette.The support elements 3 can advantageously have a U-shaped cross section, more particularly suitable for supporting heavy loads. Referring to FIG. 2, it can be seen that the support elements 3 may consist of the assembly of two elements 33 and 34 of U-shaped cross section fitted one into the other 33, intended for be secured to the underside 11 of the plate 1 by their longitudinal edges 31. The external support element 33 comprises two cutouts 36 formed in its bottom 37, for the passage of the fork of an elevating machine. The dimensions of the internal element 34 are determined so that its bottom 35 is slightly below the upper edge of the cutouts 36, which makes it possible to avoid damaging the latter when the pallet is raised.
Si on se réfère à la figure 3 on peut voir que dans un deuxième mode de réalisation la palette selon l'invention comprend des éléments de renfort 80 de section transversale en forme de V dont les bords longitudinaux 87 sont solidarisés à des planches de carton 81 réalisées à partir de l'assemblage de plusieurs feuilles de carton rectangulaires 82 superposées. Les éléments de renfort 80 sont reliés entre eux par des éléments de support 83 de section en V comportant dans leurs bords longitudinaux 88 des découpes 85 aptes à s'emboîter dans des découpes 84 pratiquées dans le pli longitudinal 86 des éléments de renfort 80. La face supérieure de la palette est dans ce cas formée par les faces supérieures des planches 81 juxtaposées, mais non jointives.Referring to Figure 3 we can see that in a second embodiment the pallet according to the invention comprises reinforcing elements 80 of V-shaped cross section whose longitudinal edges 87 are secured to cardboard boards 81 made from the assembly of several overlapping rectangular cardboard sheets 82. The reinforcing elements 80 are connected together by support elements 83 of V-shaped section comprising in their longitudinal edges 88 cutouts 85 able to fit into cutouts 84 formed in the longitudinal fold 86 of the reinforcing elements 80. The upper face of the pallet is in this case formed by the upper faces of the boards 81 juxtaposed, but not contiguous.
Si on se réfère à la figure 4 on peut voir que dans un troisième mode de réalisation la palette selon 1 ' invention comprend un plateau 6 formé par des éléments de renfort 60 de section transversale en V solidarisés à des éléments de support 70 également de section en V. Les éléments de renfort 60 sont solidarisés aux éléments de support 70 par emboîtement réciproque à l'aide d'encoches 71 pratiquées dans les éléments de support 70 et de lumières 69 pratiquées dans les éléments de renfort £0.If we refer to Figure 4 we can see that in a third embodiment, the pallet according to the invention comprises a plate 6 formed by reinforcing elements 60 of V-shaped cross section secured to support elements 70 also of V-shaped section. The reinforcing elements 60 are secured to the elements of support 70 by mutual interlocking using notches 71 made in the support elements 70 and of lights 69 made in the reinforcement elements £ 0.
Les éléments de renfort 60 et les éléments de support 70 sont constitués de l'assemblage d'un premier flanc de carton 62,72 plié en V avec un deuxième flanc de carton 63,73 plié en U, recouvrant le premier sur une certaine hauteur.The reinforcement elements 60 and the support elements 70 consist of the assembly of a first flank of cardboard 62.72 folded in a V with a second flank of cardboard 63.73 folded in a U, covering the first over a certain height .
Les bases 74 des deuxièmes flancs 73 des éléments de support 70 reposent sur le sol et peuvent être recouvertes d'un revêtement ou d'un enduit isolant, tandis que les bases 64 des deuxièmes flancs 63 des éléments de renfort 60 forment le plateau de la palette.The bases 74 of the second flanks 73 of the support elements 70 rest on the ground and may be covered with an insulating coating or coating, while the bases 64 of the second flanks 63 of the reinforcement elements 60 form the plate of the palette.
En outre afin d'éviter des déformations au niveau des encoches 71 des éléments de support 70, celles-ci sont pratiquées de telle manière que les bords longitudinaux 66 des branches 65 du U des deuxièmes flancs 63 des éléments de renfort 60 reposent sur les plis longitudinaux 77 des éléments de support 70 et que les plis longitudinaux 67 des éléments de renfort 60 viennent en appui sur le fond des encoches 71 pratiquées dans les éléments de support 70.Furthermore, in order to avoid deformations at the notches 71 of the support elements 70, these are made in such a way that the longitudinal edges 66 of the branches 65 of the U of the second flanks 63 of the reinforcement elements 60 rest on the folds longitudinal 77 of the support elements 70 and that the longitudinal folds 67 of the reinforcement elements 60 come to bear on the bottom of the notches 71 formed in the support elements 70.
De manière à renforcer la solidarisation des éléments de support 70 et des éléments de renfort 60 ces derniers peuvent comporter, comme on peut le voir sur la figure 6a, un troisième flanc 68 de section transversale en V disposé contre la face interne du premier flanc 62 et dans lequel sont pratiquées des lumières 69 situées à courte distance des extrémités des branches du U formé par le deuxième flanc 63, en regard des encoches 61 pratiquées dans le premier flanc 62. Ainsi les extrémités rentrantes 76 des encoches 71 des éléments de support 70, visibles sur la figure 5, viennent se loger dans les lumières 68 en bloquant de manière efficace l'assemblage des éléments de support 70 avec les éléments de renfort 60.So as to reinforce the joining of the support elements 70 and the reinforcement elements 60, the latter may include, as can be seen in FIG. 6a, a third flank 68 of V cross section disposed against the internal face of the first flank 62 and in which are made lights 69 located at a short distance from the ends of the branches of the U formed by the second flank 63, opposite the notches 61 formed in the first flank 62. Thus the re-entrant ends 76 of the notches 71 of the support elements 70 , visible in Figure 5, are housed in the lights 68 by blocking effectively assembling the support elements 70 with the reinforcement elements 60.
Dans la variante de réalisation représentée à la figure 6b les éléments de renfort 60 comportent un seul flanc 62 muni de lumières 69 dans lesquelles viennent s'engager les extrémités rentrantes 76 des encoches 71 des éléments de support 70.In the variant embodiment shown in FIG. 6b, the reinforcing elements 60 comprise a single side 62 provided with slots 69 in which the re-entrant ends 76 of the notches 71 of the notches 71 of the support elements 70 engage.
Si on se réfère enfin à la figure 7 on peut voir sur cette figure un élément de support 70 muni à l'une de ses extrémités d'une pièce d'assemblage 78 de même forme mais de dimensions légèrement inférieures, faisant saillie hors de l'élément de support 70 pour permettre son assemblage avec un autre élément de support 70' d'une palette voisine. Ce dispositif permet l'assemblage rapide de deux palettes pour en constituer une de dimensions supérieures, dont le désassemblage est également facile et rapide. If we finally refer to Figure 7 we can see in this figure a support member 70 provided at one of its ends with an assembly part 78 of the same shape but of slightly smaller dimensions, protruding out of the 'support element 70 to allow its assembly with another support element 70' of a neighboring pallet. This device allows the rapid assembly of two pallets to form one of larger dimensions, whose disassembly is also easy and quick.
