Benefits of technology

[0005] It is, therefore, an object of the present invention to provide a loading pallet that is easy to handle without requiring a special forklift.
[0006] It is another object of the present invention to provide a loading pallet which does not need a large space, thus enabling to decrease the commodity distribution cost.
[0007] It is a further object of the present invention to provide a loading pallet which is immune from quarantine issues such as mold and insect parasite.

Problems solved by technology

However, since its size is large, a pile of loading pallets have to occupy a large space.
Thus, there is a disadvantage of inefficiency in commodity distribution due to high storage cost and transportation cost.
Further, in the case of international commodity distribution, there is a problem involving quarantine issues since mold or insect pests tend to be parasitic on such lumber plates.
Namely, the sheet pallet involves inconveniences since a special forklift having a push-pull apparatus is required.
In addition, even if a special forklift is used, there is a disadvantage of requiring special skills of an operator since the operation is complicated.
Further, when the product is loaded and unloaded, there is a problem of damaging the surface of the product when inserting the fork.

first embodiment

[0029]FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a loading pallet 10 in the present invention, and FIG. 2 is an enlarged perspective view thereof. As shown in these drawings, the loading pallet 10 is comprised of a top plate 11 and a bottom plate 12 each being formed by assembling a plurality of plate-like members 13 in a grid-like manner, and a connection unit 14 that connects the top and bottom plates in an attachable / detachable manner.

[0030] Each of the plate-like members 13, as shown in FIG. 3, is integrally established with a pair of hollow square columns 13a and 13b on both ends of the flat plate in a lengthwise direction. This plate-like member 13 can be created by folding both ends of a metal plate such as a flat steel plate into squares, thereby significantly improving the strength compared with a simple flat plate.

[0031] The top plate 11, as shown in FIG. 2, is formed by aligning the plurality of first plate-like members 13 at a predetermined space with a constant distance between o...

second embodiment

[0037]FIG. 7 shows a perspective view of a loading pallet 20 related to the present invention. The loading pallet 20, as shown in the diagram, is comprised of a flat top plate 21 and a flat bottom plate 22 and a connection unit 23 that connects the top plate 21 and the bottom plate 22 in an attachable / detachable manner. Three connection units 23 are spaced at predetermined locations so that the fork can be inserted in a space formed between the connection units 23.

[0038] The connection unit 23 is comprised of a space retainer 23a having a square shape and bonded to a bottom surface of the top plate 21, and a bending elastic member 23b for connecting the bottom of the space retainer 23a and a top surface of the bottom plate 22 as well as for connecting a bottom surface of the top plate 21 and the top surface of the bottom plate 22. The bending elastic member 23b is formed either by bending a corrugated board or plastic board in several locations or by a bending plate spring, and has ...

Abstract

A loading pallet does not require a special forklift or a large space, thereby enabling to reduce the commodity distribution cost. The loading pallet is formed of a top plate for loading the product thereon, a bottom plate for supporting the top plate thereon, and a connection unit for connecting the top plate and bottom plate in an attachable / detachable manner. The top plate, bottom plate, and connection unit are preferably made of either steel, corrugated boards, or plastic. The connection unit can extend when inserting a fork of a forklift, without requiring a special forklift, and since the connection unit shrinks when the fork is withdrawn, the loading pallet needs only a small space for storage.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to a loading pallet for loading products thereon and transporting the products or changing the locations of the products with use of a forklift. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Loading pallets for a forklift are widely used today. Typically, such a loading pallet is made of lumber and is formed by assembling the lumber plates in a grid-like manner. These loading pallets have an advantage of easy manufacturing, as well as low manufacturing cost and easy handling. However, since its size is large, a pile of loading pallets have to occupy a large space. Thus, there is a disadvantage of inefficiency in commodity distribution due to high storage cost and transportation cost. Further, in the case of international commodity distribution, there is a problem involving quarantine issues since mold or insect pests tend to be parasitic on such lumber plates. [0003] Therefore, in order to eliminate such drawbacks explained above, a sheet pa...
