DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a pallet used for transporting and storing articles, and more particularly to a pallet suitable for handling a long roll-shaped object.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In general, flat pallets are often used for transporting and storing articles. By the way, it is convenient if a pallet can be used for transportation and storage of a long object such as a roll film. For example, it is preferable that a roll film used for packaging foods and the like can be transported or stored by a forklift or a truck while being loaded on a pallet from a factory to a warehouse or from a warehouse to a user. In addition, the roll film may be handled in a state where it is used and placed on a pallet. However, when a long object such as a roll film is horizontally stacked on a pallet, the load easily collapses due to vibration applied to the pallet during transportation or the like. In this respect, such a problem can be solved by setting up columns for preventing the collapse of the load on the outer edge of the pallet.

[0003]

However, when a support is set up around the pallet, when loading a long load on the pallet, the load is lifted to a position higher than the tip of the support and then lowered onto the pallet. Will be. Similarly, when unloading a load from a pallet, the load must be lifted high and then moved laterally to be unloaded. Therefore, there is a problem that the workability is poor and the labor of the worker increases.

An object of the present invention is to provide a pallet suitable for transporting and storing long objects.

[0005]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION According to the present invention, a deck board is formed in a rectangular shape, and at least two pillars are respectively provided substantially vertically on two opposing sides of the outer edge of the deck board. The object is achieved by providing a pallet inserted into a tubular support insertion portion having an opening at the top provided on a deck board. That is, even if long objects such as rolls are horizontally stacked on the pallet, the collapse of the load can be prevented by the columns, and safety can be secured. In particular, when loading and unloading pallets,
It is possible to work by removing the support from the support insertion part. As a result, it is not necessary to lift the load to a position higher than the tip of the column and then move the load in the lateral direction, so that the labor of the operator is reduced, and the workability and safety can be improved.

In the case where the load is a cylindrical article such as a roll film, when the support is removed, the lowermost roll rolls due to the load of the upper roll, which may cause collapse of the load. In such a case, by protruding the support insertion portion from the deck board surface, the lowermost roll can be prevented from rolling, and safety can be ensured. In this case, it is preferable that the height of the support insertion portion is higher than the radius of the roll. According to this, it is possible to prevent the surface of the roll film or the like from being damaged by hitting the tip of the pillar insertion portion.

Further, it is preferable that the cross sections of the support insertion portion and the support are square. According to this, since the surface of the roll film or the like comes into contact with the support or the support insertion portion with a line or a surface, the surface is hardly damaged. On the other hand, it is convenient to form a recess in the surface of the deck board for accommodating the post removed from the post insertion portion. In the case of the configuration described above, it is preferable that a rectangular outer frame is formed along the outer edge of the deck board, and the column insertion portion is connected to the outer frame by being inscribed therein. According to this,
By extending the support insertion portion to the lower side, the leg portion of the pallet can be used as well, and the structure can be simplified, and the strength, accuracy, and manufacturability can be improved.

Have been. The flat plate 11 is fixed on the two beams 7.

The post insertion portion 5 is formed using a square pipe, and is fixed substantially vertically to the inner surface inside the corner of the outer frame 3. The upper end of the support insertion portion 5 is opened so that the support 2 can be inserted. The upper end protrudes from the deck board 1 surface. It is preferable that the protrusion amount is set to be larger than the radius of the roll film. The lower end portion of the support insertion portion 5 projects from the lower surface of the deck board 1, and the leg portion 6 is formed integrally. The base 8 is fixed to the lower end of the leg 6. As shown in FIG. 5, the base portion 8 is formed in a cup shape having a downward opening, into which the upper end of another post insertion portion 5 can be inserted. The column 2 is formed of a square pipe having an external shape that can be inserted into the column insertion portion 5, and both ends are closed by a flat plate.

In addition, a beam 9 made of a square pipe is provided in contact with the support insertion portion 5 and extending between the long side of the outer frame 3 and the beam 7. A flat plate 13 is fixed below two pairs of opposing beams 9 along the long side of the outer frame 3. Thereby, a concave portion 15 surrounded by the corresponding two beams 9, the long side of the outer frame 3, the beams 9, and the flat plate 13 is formed on the surface of the deck board 1. As shown in FIG. 6, beams 17 made of a flat steel material are provided at the lower ends of the four base portions 8 respectively. Beams 19 and 21 made of a flat steel material are provided as appropriate on the opposite short and long sides of the beam 17. Further, a beam 23 made of a flat steel material or a square pipe is provided between the outer frame 3 and the joint between the beam 17 and the beam 19 and at the joint between the beam 17 and the beam 19.

Next, a description will be given of a method of using the pallet of the present embodiment when transporting and storing a roll film, which is a long columnar object. Roll film 25
When the pallet is loaded on the pallet, the support 2 on at least one side of the long side of the deck board 1 is extracted from the support insertion portion 5, and the roll film 25 is placed on the long side of the deck board 1 from which the support 2 is removed. From side to side on a flat plate 11.
Then, the upper roll film 25 is placed in the recess between the adjacent lower roll films 25, and the roll films 25 are stacked in a trapezoidal or triangular shape. After loading a predetermined quantity, the support 2 is inserted into the support insertion portion 5. And the roll film 25 and the support | pillar 2 piled up in trapezoid or triangular shape
The roll film 25 can be further loaded in an inverted triangular space formed between the roll films 25.

On the other hand, when the roll film 25 is unloaded from the pallet, if the roll film 25 is in contact with and supported by the column 2, the load is collapsed by extracting the column 2. Then, the roll film 25 is lifted up on the support 2 until the roll film 25 in contact with the support 2 on at least one of the long sides of the deck board 1 is removed, and the support 2 is removed from the support insertion portion 5. The roll film 25 is taken out, and the remaining roll film 25 is lowered from the long side of the deck board 1 from which the columns 2 have been taken out. That is, when the roll film 25 is stacked in a trapezoidal or triangular shape on the pallet, the support 2 can be removed from the support insertion portion 5, so that it is not necessary to lift the roll film 25 high and pass over the support 2. . Similarly, when lowering the roll film 25 stacked in a trapezoidal or triangular shape on the pallet, it is not necessary to raise the roll film 25 to a high level, so that workability and safety are improved.

Further, since the column 2 and the column insertion portion 5 are formed using a square pipe, they come into contact with the surface of the roll film 25 by lines or surfaces. Thereby, the contact pressure is dispersed and the surface of the roll film 25 is not easily damaged.

Further, two or more pallets can be stacked by inserting the tip of the column 2 into the base portion 8 of another pallet while the column 2 is inserted into the column insertion portion 5. Thereby, it can be used as a shelf for storing the roll film 25. In particular, since the tip of the support column 2 of the lower pallet is inserted into the base portion 8 of the upper pallet, the pallets can be stably stacked without shifting laterally. When the pallets are not used, the pallets can be stored in a small space if they are stacked in a state where the columns 2 are pulled out from the column insertion portions 5. Also at this time, since the tip of the support insertion portion 5 of the lower pallet is inserted into the base portion 8 of the upper pallet, the pallets can be stably stacked without being shifted sideways.

When a pallet on which the roll film 25 is loaded is stored or transported, the columns 2 are used to prevent collapse of the load.
Is inserted into the support insertion portion 5 in advance. In addition, a forklift or a fork of a catch pallet provided with a fork-like elevating device is inserted into a gap between the deck board 1 formed by the leg portion 6 and the base portion 8 and the ground, and transported. If a rotational moment in the direction of tipping occurs on the pallet during transportation by a forklift or the like, the beam 17 is hooked on the lower surface of the fork to prevent tipping.

As described above, according to the present embodiment, since the column 2 can be removed from the column insertion portion 5, the work for loading the roll film 25 on the pallet and the process for lowering the roll film 25 from the pallet can be performed. And safety and safety are improved. When the support 2 is used in a state where the support 2 is removed from the support insertion portion 5, the portion of the support insertion 5 protruding from the upper surface of the deck board 1 causes the rolling of the roll film 25 stacked on the lowermost stage on the deck board 1. Stopping and preventing collapse of cargo. It is preferable that the height of the support insertion portion 5 projecting from the upper surface of the deck board 1 is set to be larger than the radius of the roll film 25 because the surface of the roll film 25 is not damaged by the tip of the support insertion portion 5. Further, the extracted support 2 can be stored in the recess 15 as shown by a broken line in FIG. According to this, the extracted support 2 does not hinder the work, and can be prevented from being lost, which is convenient.

Further, the strut insertion portion 5 is formed integrally with the leg portion 6 and is fixed to the inner surface inside the corner portion of the outer frame 3, so that the structure is simplified, and the strength, accuracy and manufacturability are improved. Improvement can be achieved. In addition, the support insertion portion 5 and the support 2 are connected to the outer frame 3.
