Description

Technical Field

[0001] This patent application claims the priority of German Patent DE 10 2019 203 480.2, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference into the present application.

[0002] The present invention relates to a pallet, a load-bearing assembly of the pallet, and a skid assembly of the pallet. Background Art

[0003] From the prior art, pallets are already generally known through use. In practice, pallets are mainly used for transporting or storing goods. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide an improved pallet. In particular, a pallet should be created which can be handled particularly easily and conveniently, in other words is extremely user-friendly. Likewise, corresponding load-bearing components and runner components for such a pallet should be provided.

[0005] According to one aspect of the present invention, the pallet can be used as a storage, display or transport pallet. The pallet can be modified accordingly when necessary. If the pallet does not have a slide assembly, the pallet is particularly light and can therefore be extremely easy to handle, which is particularly advantageous when it is lifted manually. Thus, the pallet is preferably extremely aesthetically pleasing in appearance and can preferably also be used as a display pallet for displaying goods. If a slide assembly is installed, the pallet can be used particularly well in a warehouse, especially a high-bay warehouse, and / or in an automated conveying device, such as a chain conveyor. Thus, according to a preferred design, when a slide assembly is constructed accordingly, the pallet can preferably be moved or slid particularly well on the ground. A damaged slide assembly can be particularly easily disassembled or replaced. The pallet is preferably implemented as a multiple-use pallet.

[0006] The load-bearing assembly has at least one load-bearing surface, which is preferably opposite to or facing upwards towards the at least one supporting surface. Goods can be arranged on the load-bearing surface. The load-bearing assembly is preferably rigid. The load-bearing assembly is preferably symmetrical or substantially symmetrical with respect to the main plane or the plane of symmetry. Preferably, the load-bearing assembly is constructed in one piece.

[0007] The runner assemblies are preferably implemented identically. Suitably, the runner assemblies are symmetrical or substantially symmetrical relative to a symmetry plane or a main plane. Suitably, each runner assembly is rigid. Preferably, each runner assembly has at least one bearing surface.

[0008] It is expedient that the width of at least one runner assembly in its transverse extension is smaller, in particular significantly smaller, than the width of the carrier assembly. Preferably, the length of at least one runner assembly (almost) corresponds to the length of the carrier assembly. At least one runner assembly is, for example, (slightly) longer than the carrier assembly.

[0009] The coupling components are preferably identical. The coupling components preferably enable a non-positive and / or positive connection between the carrier component and the corresponding runner component.

[0010] It is expedient if, in the use position, there is a positive and / or non-positive connection between the support assembly and the corresponding runner assembly, which connection allows compensation of tolerances. Preferably, for this purpose, at least one surface on the support assembly and / or the corresponding runner assembly has a higher roughness and / or at least one groove, preferably a plurality of grooves. For example, there is a positive and / or non-positive connection between the surfaces that are subsequently in contact.

[0011] It is advantageous if the carrier assembly has at least one profiled outer edge in order to allow secure stacking of empty carrier assemblies and / or pallets.

[0012] Suitably, the pallet is at least partially, preferably completely, chemically treated or coated for better flame or fire protection.

[0013] The carrier arrangement comprises in particular a first coupling element, which is preferably arranged on the respective subblock, at least one second coupling element or a second coupling element, and / or at least one latching element.

[0014] The slide assembly comprises in particular a first mating coupling element, at least one second mating coupling element or a second mating coupling element, and / or at least one mating latching element, which are preferably arranged on the respective subblock.

[0015] The pallet is particularly easy to use. In particular, due to the at least one reinforcement element, the load-bearing or load-carrying capacity of the pallet is very high. Suitably, the pallet is also extremely light, which is achieved, for example, by using different materials.

[0016] It is suitable that at least one reinforcing element is made of or composed of a different material than the carrier assembly and / or the runner assembly. In the carrier assembly and / or the corresponding runner assembly, at least one corresponding recess, notch, receiving portion, etc. is preferably configured for receiving at least one reinforcing element.

[0017] At least one reinforcing element can be made, for example, by pultrusion / extrusion. The reinforcing element is made, for example, of an aluminum sheet or polyethylene, for example fiber-reinforced, in particular continuous fiber-reinforced polyethylene. When the reinforcing element is implemented as a polyethylene fiber band or hoop, the reinforcing element can preferably be welded on. If at least one reinforcing element is configured as an aluminum sheet, it is preferably joined by local melting of the load-bearing component or the corresponding skid component, in particular by means of form locking. Preferably, the form of a plastic rivet head is formed. Preferably, the aluminum sheet is a rolled aluminum sheet, which is preferably subjected to a rolling punching or bending punching process in succession. It is suitable that the aluminum sheet has at least one rolled or bent area. The aluminum sheet is preferably anodized, mainly for achieving a particularly high surface hardness.

[0018] Alternatively, at least one reinforcement element is made of steel sheet, in particular high-strength steel, for example. The steel sheet is expediently at least partially galvanized. The steel sheet is expediently perforated. The steel sheet is expediently trapezoidal or substantially trapezoidal. The steel sheet is expediently embodied as a strip steel sheet. Advantageously, at least one reinforcement element is at least partially encapsulated by the material of the load-bearing component or the corresponding skid component.

[0019] Indefinite articles given in the claims should not be construed as limiting the quantity herein.

[0020] If the support assembly and the runner assembly can be decoupled from one another by means of corresponding coupling assemblies, this also allows a particularly simple refitting of the pallet. The refitting can be performed as many times as desired, which is very convenient for use.

[0021] Each of the coupling assemblies can be manipulated without tools, which is also particularly convenient for use. Preferably, at least two runner assemblies can be arranged on the carrier assembly without tools. Advantageously, the runner assemblies can be separated or removed from the carrier assembly without tools.

[0022] Preferably, the carrying assembly itself is preferably implemented in the form of a plate. Thus, such a solution is achieved, that is, by means of a lifting device, for example a lifting vehicle, engages below the support plate of the carrying assembly and thereby lifts the pallet and the goods arranged on the pallet, if necessary.

[0023] It is extremely convenient to use if each runner component is constructed as a single piece. The pallet has very few components or individual parts.

[0024] If each coupling assembly comprises a first coupling device and at least one second coupling device which differs in structure from the first coupling device, the pallet allows a particularly reliable and load-resistant coupling between the load-bearing assembly and the corresponding runner assembly. The coupling devices differ, for example, in their operating principle, their structure, their coupling movement and / or their decoupling movement. Preferably, the coupling devices are arranged spaced apart from one another.

[0025] The first coupling device preferably allows coupling or decoupling by a combination of plugging or axial movement and rotational or swiveling movement of the load-bearing assembly and the corresponding slide assembly relative to each other. The first coupling device in use in particular prevents separation between the load-bearing assembly and the corresponding slide assembly perpendicular to at least one load-bearing surface or support surface.

[0026] The dovetail groove device is preferably configured as a dovetail groove connection or guide structure. The dovetail groove device is particularly capable of reliably holding the corresponding slide assembly on the support assembly. The dovetail groove device prevents separation between the support assembly and the corresponding slide assembly in the longitudinal direction of the slide assembly and perpendicular to at least one support surface or bearing surface during use.

[0027] The at least one second coupling device can be particularly easy to operate and load-resistant. The at least one second coupling piece is implemented, for example, as a groove, in particular a trapezoidal groove or a dovetail groove. The at least one second mating coupling piece is configured, for example, as a tenon or dovetail connector. Alternatively, the opposite arrangement is also feasible.

[0028] The first coupling part preferably has at least one restraining bridge. The first mating coupling part preferably includes at least one restraining projection. The restraining bridge and the restraining projection are preferably movable or swingable relative to each other. Alternatively, the opposite arrangement is also feasible.

[0029] The first partial block expediently forms at least one overall block in the assembled state of the corresponding runner assembly.

[0030] The at least one second coupling component expediently comprises at least one second coupling piece. Suitably, the at least one mating coupling component has at least one mating coupling piece.

[0031] The second partial block expediently forms at least one overall block in the assembled state of the corresponding runner assembly.

[0032] In the assembled state of the corresponding slide assembly, a latching connection which can preferably be realized without tools and / or can be released again acts between the load-bearing assembly and the corresponding slide assembly. Each safety latching mechanism preferably has a latching piece arranged on the load-bearing assembly and a matching latching piece arranged on the corresponding slide assembly. The latching piece is, for example, implemented as a protrusion, such as a lug. The matching latching piece is, for example, configured as an opening, a recess, etc. It is appropriate that the safety latching mechanism can prevent a swinging movement between the load-bearing assembly and the corresponding slide assembly in its latched state. The corresponding safety latching mechanism is preferably also formed as an end stop when the slide assembly is assembled, which simplifies assembly. Alternatively, the opposite arrangement is also feasible.

[0033] The at least one sensor is configured, for example, as a temperature sensor, a motion sensor, an acceleration sensor, a weight sensor, a geo-tracking sensor, a loading history sensor, a humidity sensor, an orientation sensor (for example in the form of a level), or an anti-theft protection sensor (for example in the form of a seal) present on the goods arranged on the load-bearing assembly. The label provides, for example, information on recycling including the date of manufacture, the age of the pallet, the composition and / or the owner of the pallet. The at least one receiving cavity is formed, for example, by a cavity of the load-bearing assembly or the runner assembly. The receiving cavity is preferably spatially delimited by at least one bridge.

[0034] The at least one sensor is expediently received in the at least one receiving cavity. The information of the at least one sensor can be read out in particular wirelessly, for example by at least one transmission module of the sensor, which operates, for example, by radio, such as Bluetooth or mobile radio, infrared, etc. Both near-field transmission and long-range transmission are possible.

[0035] For example, at least one sensor is designed as an RFID sensor. It is expedient for the pallet to contain at least one tag in order to obtain information about the pallet.

[0036] The at least one reinforcing element can be arranged on the load-bearing component in a particularly simple and functionally reliable manner, for example by welding or bonding. The reinforcing element is preferably arranged on the outside and visible from the outside. Alternatively or additionally, the reinforcing element is arranged on the inside or is completely embedded. The at least one reinforcing element is, for example, at least partially, preferably completely, encapsulated by the material of the load-bearing component.

[0037] The at least one reinforcing element can be arranged on the base element in a particularly functionally reliable and simple manner, for example by welding or joining. Preferably, the reinforcing element is arranged on the outside and is visible from the outside. Alternatively or additionally, the reinforcing element is arranged on the inside or is completely embedded. For example, the at least one reinforcing element is at least partially, preferably completely, encapsulated by the material of the corresponding skid component.

[0038] In particular, the at least one reinforcement element is torsionally rigid.

[0039] It is suitable that the load-bearing component and / or the runner component is implemented in a lightweight structure. Preferably, it is recyclable. It is suitable that the load-bearing component and / or the runner component has renewable raw materials, such as wood fibers, etc. Alternatively or additionally, the load-bearing component and / or the runner component has a biopolymer.

[0040] The carrier component can be produced, for example, by injection molding or pressing.

[0041] The skid assembly may be made, for example, by pultrusion / extrusion. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0049] exist Figures 1 to 3 The pallet shown as a whole in FIG. 1 comprises a plate-shaped load-bearing component 1 and three runner components 2. The runner components 2 can be arranged on the load-bearing component 1. In the coupled state, the runner components 2 are arranged firmly but releasably on the load-bearing component 1. Here, a coupling component 3 acts between the load-bearing component 1 and each runner component 2.

[0050] The load-carrying assembly 1 comprises a support plate 4, which provides or forms a flat, upward-facing support surface 5 for at least one load (not shown) to be carried. The support plate 4 is rectangular and has a plurality of rectangular cavities open upward and downward. The support surface 5 is formed by the free ends of the bridges of the cavities.

[0051] The support assembly 1 further comprises a plurality of sub-blocks which extend downward from the support plate 4 and form a support surface 6 for placement on a base (not shown), for example on the ground, or for support relative to a base. In total, there are nine sub-blocks. Three sub-blocks extend adjacent to each longitudinal edge 7 of the support assembly 1. Furthermore, three sub-blocks are arranged in the middle region of the support assembly 1 between the sub-blocks arranged adjacent to the longitudinal edges 7. The sub-blocks on the support assembly side are arranged side by side in three rows extending in the longitudinal direction 8 of the support assembly 1.

[0052] The sub-blocks arranged adjacent to the transverse edge 9 of the carrier assembly 1 are at least of the same form. They are assigned the reference numeral 10. In the middle transverse plane of the carrier assembly 1 there is a sub-block of at least the same form. This sub-block is assigned the reference numeral 11. The sub-blocks 10, 11 differ from one another in structure.

[0053] Each subblock 11 is substantially rectangular and elongated. The subblock has a central hollow cylinder 12, which carries a plurality of plate-shaped constraining bridges 13 inside. The constraining bridges 13 are arranged on the hollow cylinder 12 in a manner that is evenly spaced apart at an angle. The constraining bridges are located in a common plane extending parallel to the support surface 6 and extend from the hollow cylinder 12 to each other in the direction of the center axis 14 of the hollow cylinder 12, but end spaced apart from each other. The constraining bridges 13 are arranged to be spaced apart from the support surface 6. In addition to the outer wall 15, each subblock 11 has a plurality of reinforcing bridges 16.

[0054] Each sub-block 10 is substantially rectangular and elongated. The sub-block has an outer wall 17 and an inner reinforcing bridge. Each sub-block 10 has a first dovetail groove 18 and a second dovetail groove 19 at the bottom, and the two dovetail grooves are open toward the adjacent support surface 6.

[0055] Each first dovetail groove 18 has two first openings 20 opposite to each other on the side. Each first dovetail groove 18 is bounded by two first sides 21 opposite to each other, which extend away from each other from the adjacent support surface 6 in the direction of the support plate 4. In addition, each first dovetail groove 18 is bounded by an inner first bottom 22, which extends between the first sides 21 parallel to the associated support surface 6. The first sides 21 and the first bottom 22 are components of the corresponding sub-block 10. Each first dovetail groove 18 extends in an arc shape around the center axis 14 of the sub-block 11 arranged in the row.

[0056] Each second dovetail groove 19 has two second openings 23 opposite to each other on the side. Each second dovetail groove 19 is limited by two second side edges 24 opposite to each other, which extend away from each other from the adjacent support surface 6 in the direction of the support plate 4. Each second dovetail groove 19 is limited by an inner second bottom 25, which extends between the second side edges 24 parallel to the corresponding support surface 6. The second side edges 24 and the second bottom 25 are components of the corresponding sub-block 10. Each second dovetail groove 19 extends in an arc shape around the center axis 14 of the sub-block 11 arranged in the row. Compared with the adjacent first dovetail groove 18, each second dovetail groove 19 is at a greater distance from the center axis 14. The dovetail grooves 18, 19 of each sub-block 10 extend uniformly spaced from each other. The dovetail grooves 18, 19 extend in a curved manner in the transverse direction of the support assembly 1.

[0057] The dovetail grooves 18, 19 form the coupling. The dovetail grooves 18, 19 are an integral part of the coupling.

[0058] Each sub-block 10 has a latching recess 26 at the end, adjacent to the transverse edge 9, the entry opening 27 of which faces away from the transverse plane of the support assembly 1 or the sub-blocks 11 arranged in this row. Each latching recess 26 is spatially delimited by two mutually opposing side walls 28, which extend in the longitudinal direction 8 of the support assembly 1. Each latching recess 26 forms a latching element.

[0059] The sub-blocks 11 arranged in a row form an outer sub-block, whereas each sub-block 10 in this row forms an inner or middle sub-block.

[0060] Each skid assembly 2 comprises a rigid bottom platen 29 which extends substantially rectilinearly and is rectangular. Each bottom platen 29 has a bearing surface 30 at the bottom.

[0061] Three sub-blocks project from each bottom platen 29 opposite the respective bearing surface 30. The sub-blocks are arranged spaced apart from one another and at a distance from one another that corresponds to the distance of the sub-blocks 10, 11 of the carrier assembly 1 arranged in a row.

[0062] Each runner assembly 2 has two outer subsections 31 which are identical in design and are arranged in opposite end regions of the respective bottom pressure plate 29 .

[0063] Each sub-block 31 has a first tenon 32 and a second tenon 33 at the top, the tenons 32, 33 protrude upward from the head surface 34 of the corresponding sub-block 31 and are each implemented as a wedge-shaped tenon. Each tenon 32, 33 extends between the mutually opposite side walls 35 of the corresponding sub-block 31 and extends in the transverse direction of the corresponding slide assembly 2.

[0064] The first tenons 32 are designed to be complementary to the first dovetail grooves 18. Each first tenon 32 has two mutually opposite first side surfaces 36 which extend away from each other from the adjacent head surfaces 34 and delimit a free first top surface 37.

[0065] The second tenons 33 are designed to be complementary to the second dovetail groove 19. Each second tenon 33 has two mutually opposite second side surfaces 38, which extend away from each other starting from the corresponding head surface 34 while limiting the free second top surface 39. The top surfaces 37, 39 extend parallel to the adjacent head surface 34.

[0066] Each tongue 32 , 33 extends in the shape of a circular arc about a center axis 40 of the respective slide assembly 2 , which extends perpendicularly to the associated support surface 30 .

[0067] The tenons 32, 33 form a mating coupling for the coupling. The tenons 32, 33 are an integral part of the mating coupling component. The dovetail grooves 18, 19 and the tenons 32, 33 are an integral part of the dovetail groove arrangement.

[0068] Each sub-block 31 carries a preferably elastically movable latching body 41. The latching bodies 41 of each slide assembly 2 face away from each other. The latching bodies are designed to be complementary to the latching recess 26 and form a counter-latching element for the latching element.

[0069] Each latch body 41 has two mutually opposite latching sides 42, which extend parallel to each other and are planar. The distance between the latching surfaces 42 corresponds to the distance between the side walls 28 that delimit the latching recess 26. The latching surfaces 42 extend perpendicularly to the adjacent support surface 30 and parallel to the longitudinal direction 44 of the respective slide assembly 2. Each latch body 41 has a free actuating surface 43 at the top.

[0070] Furthermore, each runner assembly 2 comprises a central sub-block 45 which is arranged centrally between the sub-blocks 31 of the respective runner assembly 2 .

[0071] Each sub-block 45 has a head surface 46, which faces away from the bearing surface 30 of the corresponding slide assembly 2. Each sub-block 45 includes a cylindrical body 47, which is preferably embodied as a hollow cylinder and projects vertically upward or outward from the head surface 46 of the corresponding sub-block 45. Each cylindrical body 47 has an outer diameter D, which is preferably slightly smaller than the virtual diameter or circle formed by the free end of the constraining bridge 13.

[0072] Each cylinder 47 supports a restraining projection 48 on the outside, which projects radially outward and is arranged in a manner that is evenly spaced apart from each other at an angle. Each restraining projection 48 has a width in the circumferential direction around the cylinder 47 to which it belongs, which is smaller than the corresponding width of the restraining bridge 13 in the circumferential direction around the hollow cylinder 12 to which it belongs.

[0073] The number of the restraining projections 48 of the sub-block 45 corresponds to the number of the restraining bridges 13 of the sub-block 11 .

[0074] The restraining projection 48 is arranged to be spaced apart from the adjacent head surface 46 while forming a restraining surface 49. The restraining surface 49 faces the adjacent head surface 46. The distance between the head surface 46 and the adjacent restraining projection 48 is slightly greater than the thickness of the restraining bridge 13.

[0075] Opposite the restraining surface 49 , the restraining projection 48 has an orientation leg 52 which extends obliquely from the associated cylindrical body 47 in the direction of the adjacent head surface 46 .

[0076] The cylinder 47 defines a central axis 40 of the respective runner assembly 2 .

[0077] The restraining bridge 13 forms a coupling for the restraining projection 48, which forms a mating coupling. The restraining bridge 13 is an integral part of the coupling component. The restraining projection 48 is an integral part of the mating coupling component. The restraining projection 48 and the restraining bridge 13 are integral parts of the bayonet connection.

[0078] The support plate 4 has a plurality of reinforcing elements 50 which extend in the longitudinal direction 8 and are arranged spaced apart from one another. Two of the reinforcing elements 50 extend adjacent to the longitudinal edge 7, while another reinforcing element 50 extends centrally between the two reinforcing elements in the longitudinal direction 8. It is expedient that a corresponding reinforcing element 50 also extends on the rear side of the support plate 5. The reinforcing elements 50 are arranged in corresponding recesses of the support plate 4.

[0079] Each runner assembly 2 has two reinforcing elements 51, which extend at the top on the respective base element 29 in the longitudinal direction 44 between the sub-sections 31, 45. Expediently, a respective reinforcing element 51 is also arranged on the underside of the respective base element 29. The reinforcing elements 51 are arranged in respective recesses of the respective runner assembly 2.

[0080] Next, the application of the pallet is described in more detail.

[0081] The load-bearing assembly 1 can be used alone as a pallet. The load-bearing surface 5 of the load-bearing assembly 1 can carry goods, for example goods in a stacked form. The load-bearing assembly 1 is placed securely on the ground with its sub-blocks 10, 11 standing upright. The support plate 4 is arranged spaced apart from the ground. A lifting device can be driven under the support plate 4 between the sub-blocks 10, 11.

[0082] A runner assembly 2 is mounted detachably and without tools on the support assembly 1 for use, for example, in a high-bay warehouse or in an automatic conveying system.

[0083] To assemble the runner assembly 2, the respective subsection 11 of the carrier assembly 1 and the cylinder 47 of the respective subsection 45 of the runner assembly 2 are arranged one above the other. The orientation side 52 brings about an orientation between the cylinder 47 of the respective runner assembly 2 and the associated hollow cylinder 12 of the carrier assembly 1. The center axes 14, 40 are then aligned with one another.

[0084] In order to assemble the slide assembly 2, the restraining protrusion 48 and the restraining bridge 13 are oriented to each other by relative swinging movement between the supporting assembly 1 and the corresponding slide assembly 2 around the corresponding center axis 14 or 40, so that the restraining protrusion 48 is located before the gap between adjacent restraining bridges 13 or adjacent to the gap.

[0085] Subsequently, the restraining projection 48 is passed through the gap. A movement takes place between the carrier assembly 1 and the respective runner assembly 2 along the respective center axis 14 or 40. The guiding process ends when the support surface 6 of the upper sub-block 11 is adjacent to, or is located above, the head surface 46 of the lower sub-block 45. The restraining projection 48 is then at a smaller distance from the support plate 4 than the spacing of the restraining bridge 13 from the support plate 4.

[0086] Subsequently, the respective slide assembly 2 is manually pivoted about its vertically oriented center axis 40 .

[0087] On the one hand, this swiveling movement results in a relative swiveling movement between the restraining bridge 13 and the restraining projection 48. The restraining projection 48 moves over the restraining bridge 13 and clamps the restraining bridge behind it. The restraining projection 48 is then located directly over the restraining bridge 13, so that the restraining surface 49 faces the adjacent restraining bridge 13. The restraining bridge 13 is located between the head surface 46 and the restraining projection 48, which locally fixes the corresponding slide assembly 2 on the carrier assembly 1 in the direction of the center axis 14 or 40.

[0088] On the other hand, during the pivoting movement, the tenons 32, 33 of the corresponding slide assembly 2 are inserted into the corresponding dovetail grooves 18 or 19 through their openings 22 or 23. Here, the tenons 32, 33 of the sub-block 31 of the corresponding slide assembly 2 enter, for example, laterally from the outside into the associated sub-block 10 of the support assembly 1, while the tenons 32, 33 of the other sub-block 31 of the corresponding slide assembly 2 enter laterally from the inside into the associated sub-block 10 of the support assembly 1. The tenons 32, 33 of the two sub-blocks 31 enter the associated sub-block 10 of the support assembly 1 from the sides opposite to each other.

[0089] If the respective runner assembly 2 is in its use position, the runner assembly 2 extends parallel to the longitudinal edge 7. The tongue 32, 33 engages with the respective dovetail groove 18 or 19. The side surface 36 or 38 is arranged adjacent to the side edge 21 or 24 of the dovetail groove 18 or 19, or more precisely abuts against the side edge 21 or 24.

[0090] The latching bodies 41 enter the associated latching recesses 26 through the corresponding entry openings 27. The latching surfaces 42 of the corresponding latching bodies 41 are arranged adjacent to the side walls 28, or more precisely, abut against the side walls 28, which prevents undesired pivoting about the center axis 14 or 40 between the support assembly 1 and the corresponding runner assembly 2.

[0091] The sub-blocks 10, 31 form an overall block, while the sub-blocks 11, 45 form another overall block. Thus, the pallet can be placed on the support surface 30 of the corresponding slide assembly 2 and of course has a higher height than without the slide assembly 2. The lifting device can be moved between the slide assemblies 2 under the support plate 14.

[0092] In all slide assemblies 2, assembly is performed in the same manner.

[0093] In particular, when assembling the runner assembly 2, the carrier assembly 1 is mounted on the corresponding runner assembly 2. Firstly, the relative insertion movement between the carrier assembly 1 and the corresponding runner assembly 2 and the subsequent pivoting movement are important.

[0094] Disassembly is carried out in a similar manner. For this purpose, first the latch body 41 is disengaged from the latch recess 26 , which is achieved by pressure acting on the actuating surface 43 from above.

[0095] according to Figures 1 to 3 The tray is elongated, i.e. its length is greater than its width. Alternatively, the tray is square or substantially square.
