The end of the movable portion 72 comprises a tab 74 projecting from the face of the movable portion facing the pallet. The tab 74 is provided with a return 75 forming a hook. The tongue may be made of a flexible material and not include a hinge.

Le rebord 51 de la palette est en surplomb par rapport à la face latérale de la palette. Le rebord 51 comprend ainsi une face inférieure 52, horizontale, parallèle au plateau de la palette. Cette face 52 est à une distance du plateau sur lequel prend appui la ceinture, égale à celle de la patte 74 par rapport au bord inférieur de la ceinture. Ainsi quand la partie mobile 72 de la languette de verrouillage est placée contre le rebord 51, la patte 74 est en contact avec cette face inférieure 52 et verrouille la ceinture contre le plateau de la palette en l'empêchant de s'en détacher.The flange 51 of the pallet is overhanging with respect to the lateral face of the pallet. The flange 51 thus comprises a lower face 52, horizontal, parallel to the tray of the pallet. This face 52 is at a distance from the plate on which the belt is supported, equal to that of the tab 74 relative to the lower edge of the belt. Thus when the movable portion 72 of the locking tongue is placed against the flange 51, the tab 74 is in contact with the lower face 52 and locks the belt against the pallet plate by preventing it from detaching.

Pour compléter l'action de verrouillage le rebord comprend un orifice 53 sur la face 52. Le retour 75 vient se loger dans cet orifice et verrouille la partie mobile 72 en position contre le rebord 51.To complete the locking action the flange comprises an orifice 53 on the face 52. The return 75 is housed in this orifice and locks the movable portion 72 in position against the flange 51.

Pour empêcher tout déplacement de la ceinture parallèlement au plateau de la palette, un premier moyen de calage est formé par un ergot 76 solidaire de la ceinture, disposé dans le prolongement du panneau 31. Cet ergot 76 est logé dans l'orifice 53 qui est ici traversant, de manière à bloquer tout mouvement de glissement.To prevent movement of the belt parallel to the pallet plate, a first wedging means is formed by a lug 76 integral with the belt, arranged in the extension of the panel 31. This lug 76 is housed in the orifice 53 which is here crossing, so as to block any sliding movement.

On améliore encore le calage en ménageant des butées 8 le long des bords de la palette perpendiculaires aux rebords 51 qui comprennent les moyens de verrouillage. Les butées 8 coopèrent avec les panneaux 32 et ou 34, ici en étant introduits dans une encoche 32' réalisée dans l'épaisseur de la paroi. Ce moyen de calage est représenté sur la figure 4. La paroi du panneau est renforcée par une pièce 9, en métal ou en matière plastique injectée. Cette pièce par exemple comprend deux plaques 91 et 92 reliée entre elles de manière à enserrer la paroi du panneau de part et d'autre de l'encoche 32'.Stabilization is further improved by providing abutments 8 along the edges of the pallet perpendicular to the flanges 51 which comprise the locking means. The stops 8 cooperate with the panels 32 and 34, here being introduced into a notch 32 'made in the thickness of the wall. This locking means is represented on the figure 4 . The wall of the panel is reinforced by a piece 9, metal or plastic injected. This piece for example comprises two plates 91 and 92 interconnected so as to grip the wall of the panel on either side of the notch 32 '.

Pour mettre en place la ceinture sur la palette, on dispose celle-ci sur le plateau en prenant soin d'introduire les butées 8 dans les encoches, telles que 32', prévues dans l'épaisseur du bord inférieur de la ceinture. On introduit aussi les ergots 76 dans les orifices 53 ménagés le long des rebords de la palette.To set up the belt on the pallet, it is placed on the plate taking care to introduce the stops 8 into the notches, such as 32 ', provided in the thickness of lower edge of the belt. The lugs 76 are also introduced into the orifices 53 formed along the edges of the pallet.

On verrouille ensuite la ceinture en rabattant les parties mobiles 72 des languettes de verrouillage contre le rebord correspondant. Le verrouillage est assuré quand le retour 75 est engagé dans l'orifice 52 du rebord.The belt is then locked by folding the movable portions 72 of the locking tabs against the corresponding flange. The locking is ensured when the return 75 is engaged in the orifice 52 of the rim.
