Description
Claims (14)
- A palletized load system for a viscoelastic material comprising:a pallet (13) comprising a generally horizontal top support (13a) having an upwardly facing surface and two generally vertical side supports (13b) disposed at opposite ends of the top support and extending downward from the top support (13a);a tray (12) disposed on the upwardly facing surface of the pallet (13) and comprising a bottom panel substantially equal in area to said upwardly facing pallet surface;a load (10) supported on said tray (12) so as not to extend laterally substantially beyond the outer periphery of the top support (13a) of said pallet (13), said load (10) comprising a plurality of packages (11) stacked in layers; andan outer wrap (14) extending about the periphery of said tray (12) and load (10), and at least partially overlapping the uppermost stacked packages (11);
- The palletized load system of claim 1 wherein the tray (12) further comprises upwardly curved side and end panels secured to an outer rectangular periphery of the bottom panel and the outer wrap (14) overlies said upwardly curved side and end panels of the tray (12).
- The palletized load system of claim 2 wherein the tray (12) comprises a material selected from wood, cardboard, plastic, and a laminate comprising a wooden core and a paper outer layer on opposite sides of the wooden core.
- The palletized load system of claim 1 wherein the viscoelastic material comprises a polychloroprene polymer.
- The palletized load system of claim 1 wherein the melt-processable ethylene copolymer package (11) comprises a film of an containing 55-90 % by weight ethylene and 15-45% by weight of an unsaturated monocarboxylic acid having 3-8 carbon atoms which is neutralized from 0-40% by at least one metal ion selected from lithium, sodium, magnesium and zinc.
- The palletized load system of claim 1 further comprising an adhesive at least one point between the layers of stacked packages (11).
- The palletized load system of claim 1 wherein the outer wrap (14) overlies and extends down the side supports (13b) of the pallet (13) to a point about 2-3 inches (5.1-7.6 cm) from the edge of the upwardly facing surface of the pallet (13)top.
- A method of creating a palletized load of packaged viscoelastic material on a pallet (13) comprising a generally horizontal top support (13a) having an upwardly facing surface and generally vertical side supports (13b) disposed at opposite ends of the top support (13a) and extending downward from and supporting the top support (13a), said method comprising the steps of:placing a tray (12) on the upwardly facing surface of the pallet (13), said tray (12) comprising a bottom panel substantially equal in area to said upwardly facing pallet (13) surface;placing a plurality of film packages on said tray (12) in stacked layers so as not to extend laterally substantially beyond the outer periphery of the top support (13a) of said pallet (13); andapplying an outer wrap (14) circumferentially about the tray (12) and the stacked packages (11) such that an upper edge of the wrap (14) at least partially overlaps the uppermost stacked packages (11);
- The method of claim 8 wherein the tray (12) further comprises upwardly curved side and end panels secured to an outer rectangular periphery of the bottom panel and the outer wrap (14) overlies the upwardly curved side and end panels of the tray (12).
- The method of claim 9 wherein the tray (12) comprises a material selected from wood, cardboard, plastic, and a laminate comprising a wooden core and a paper outer layer on opposite sides of the wooden core.
- The method of claim 8 wherein the viscoelastic material comprises a polychloroprene polymer.
- The method of claim 8 wherein the melt-processable package comprises a film of an ethylene copolymer containing 55-90 % by weight ethylene and 15-45% by weight of an unsaturated monocarboxylic acid having 3-8 carbon atoms which is neutralized from 0-40% by at least one metal ion selected from lithium, sodium, magnesium and zinc.
- The method of claim 8 further comprising the step of applying an adhesive to at least one point on a surface of at least one package layer such that the adhesive bonds the package layer to the underlying tray (12) or package layer or to the overlying package layer.
- The method of claim 8 wherein the outer wrap (14) overlies and extends down the side supports (13b) of the pallet (13) to a point about 2-3 inches (5.1-7.6 cm) from edge of the upwardly facing surface of the pallet top (13a).
