Benefits of technology

[0008]The invention relates to a novel pallet design to hold and transport various products from the point of manufacture to the point of sale, which confers various competitive advantages with respect to the pallets already known in the market, e.g. material savings through the innovative pallet design since only one pallet is used from the factory to the point of sale.
[0009]Similarly, it prevents having to move products transported on the pallet, since they are transported on the same pallet, and are exhibited at the point of sale.
[0010]Pallet design is more stable because by using a frame and profiles to hold products, the result is a pallet that confines the products, is more stiff and stable while avoiding having to move products to a second pallet and then packing them into various types of boxes or packages.
[0011]A very important part of designing the pallet of the invention is the rectangular corner lug which can be manufactured from various materials such as wood, cardboard, recycled material from used tires among many others, which gives to the pallet an additional advantage, since it helps the environment by re-using waste materials.

Problems solved by technology

There are in the state of the art, numerous pallets and items for freight packing and transportation; however there is not one that is used for both packaging and transportation wherein the load is contained.
However, this frame was not focused on pallets, it lacked some innovative elements which allowed the advance of the art, and now it has a new and extremely strong pallet that besides saving money, allows using the same pallet from the point of manufacture to the point of sale inclusive.

Embodiment Construction

[0015]FIG. 1 illustrates an exploded view of the pallet including a horizontal upper frame 100 attached in its corners to four vertical profiles 101; an upper base 112 that includes support elements 104, 103 and 102 with angular cuts 111 at its corners; a plurality of support elements 106 and 105 with angular cuts 105 to provide stiffness and support to the pallet; a plurality of lugs of different features 108 and 107 joined to a fastening sleeve 301 and a lower base 109 wherein rests the whole structure and provides the space where the lift fingers are inserted.

[0016]The upper frame 100 of the invention, based on the PA / a / 2005 / 011459 application of the same applicant, has as an object, to conform a structure which allows the attachment profiles 101 with the structure 100 in order to conform a cube within which the objects to be transported are disposed.

[0017]The upper base 112 comprises a plurality of support elements, all of them disposed in the same sense, which can be made from ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a novel pallet design to hold and transport products from the point of manufacture to the point of sale.The advantage of this pallet design is that it provides the necessary means for coupling at each corner, a vertical profile which in turn is attached by an upper frame, because of which there is no need to change the product from the pallet in the trajectory from the factory to the point of sale, since the fixing of vertical profiles to the pallet together with the upper frame provide the product with the security and necessary firmness for the transportation of the same.One of the most important pieces of the present invention are the corner lugs, which are disposed in each of the corners of the pallet, and an angular cut which works together with a fastening sleeve coupled to the corner lug so as to form a hollow space of the required size to receive vertical profiles and keep them firm and strong during the whole trajectory of the product.There are also other lugs in a preferred embodiment of the invention which are disposed in a cross shape and their function along with the corner lugs is to support the weight of the product and provide firmness to the structure of the pallet.One of the advantages of the lugs is that in an embodiment of the invention they may be manufactured from recycled materials such as used tires.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a novel design of pallets to hold and transport objects.[0002]It is an object of the present invention to provide a pallet to which may be easily adapted a frame with the functionality to hold and transport products from the factory to the point of sale of the product.[0003]Another object of the present invention is to provide a pallet with means for reception of vertical profiles in each one of its corners in order to form a frame.[0004]Yet another object of the invention is to provide a rectangular corner lug which has angular cuts in one of its corners to hold a vertical profile.[0005]Yet another object of the present invention is to provide a rectangular corner lug with such versatility that it can be made of various materials including recycled wastes such as car tire wastes.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0006]There are in the state of the art, numerous pallets and items for freight packing and transportation; however th...
