Abstract
Preformed modules for making pallets include basic crossbar profiles and additional long and short crossbar profiles, basic and additional board profiles, and connection fittings. Each crossbar profile includes a preformed body having a cross section with a framework of laminar baffles, which define a plurality of cells, a perimetric covering, and longitudinally extending engagement elements. Each of the basic and additional board profiles is laminated and includes a plurality of cells, a perimetric covering, and at least one longitudinal engagement element on the perimetric cover. The crossbar profiles support the board profiles by means of the connection fittings. A pallet includes some or all of the modules described above.
Claims19
Preformed modules for making a pallet having support crossbars and a platform including a plurality of boards mounted on the crossbars, the crossbars being spaced apart to allow the introduction of the fork of a lifting machine, the preformed modules comprising:
- crossbar profiles, each including a preformed hollow body having a cross section with a framework of laminar partitions that define a plurality of cells, a perimetric covering and at least one longitudinally extending engagement socket;
- board profiles, each being a preformed hollow body and including a plurality of cells, a perimetric covering and at least one longitudinally extending engagement socket;
- and
- connection fittings slidably disposable in the engagement socket of the crossbar and board profiles when said engagement sockets of said crossbar and board profiles arc vertically aligned to intercouple the crossbar and board profiles such that the crossbar profiles support the board profiles by means of the fittings.
Preformed modules for making a pallet, including support crossbars and a platform including a plurality of boards mounted on the crossbars, the crossbars being spaced apart to allow the introduction of a fork of a lifting machine, the preformed modules comprising:
- crossbar profiles, each including a preformed hollow body having a cross section with a framework of laminar partitions that define a plurality of cells, a perimetric covering and at least one longitudinally extending engagement element;
- board profiles, each being a preformed hollow body and including a plurality of cells, a perimetric covering and at least one longitudinally extending engagement element;
- and
- connection fittings, each including a plurality of quadrangular plates slidably connected to a core, the plates slidably engaging the engagement elements in the crossbar profiles and board profiles.
A pallet comprising:
- at least three crossbar profile modules, each crossbar profile module including a preformed hollow body having first and second ends, first and second opposing surfaces, and a cross section, the cross section having a framework of laminar partitions that define a plurality of cells, a perimetric covering and at least one longitudinally extending engagement element;
- a plurality of board profile modules having smooth or ribbed surfaces, each board profile being laminated and including a plurality of cells, a perimetric covering and at least one longitudinal engagement element on the perimetric covering;
- and
- connection fittings including a plurality of quadrangular plates slidably connected to a core, the plates slidably engaging the engagement elements in the crossbar profile modules and board profile modules.
