Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a central support for flat articles, which provides greater stability during the movement and / or transport of the articles. The configuration of this support allows for rapid assembly on a pallet and provides ideal positioning of the articles because it directs the mass of the load to the center of the pallet or platform, preventing them from overhanging, falling, and / or sliding, thereby promoting greater balance and safety during transport. Background Technology

[0002] Using pallets for storage is one of the safest and most practical ways to store materials because they are the structure that allows the storage of the largest quantity of most materials, from the lightest to the heaviest. Therefore, pallets act as facilitators in the movement of inventory and provide flexibility in the inbound and outbound processes of products, as their handling can be performed by vehicles specifically built for handling these pallets (the well-known forklifts).

[0003] However, auxiliary supports are typically used for transporting flat products in order to avoid physical damage to the materials being transported.

[0004] WO2016023649 A1, filed on August 15, 2014, entitled “Transport rack and / or storage rack and / or storage of a transport rack and / or storage rack on a floor plate,” discloses examples of prior art supports. This document relates to transport and storage supports for transporting pallets (particularly windows or doors), equipped with at least two trapezoidal elements connected to each other by structural crossbars fitted at the upper end of each triangular element and also fitted with support bars, such that the triangular elements remain perpendicular to the pallet.

[0005] Document DE202010012666 U1, filed on September 16, 2010, entitled "Transport and storage rack for fastening onpallet," discloses another example of a support for use on a pallet for transporting flat products. This document relates to a transport and storage structure fastened to a pallet for transporting or storing flat products, having at least two first frame articles.

[0006] However, it can be recognized that the supports found in the prior art have a large number of parts, which disadvantageously makes the product expensive and increases the complexity when integrating the support device into the pallet. In addition, the supports found require a device to fasten to the pallet using other parts (which increases assembly time) and requires a higher level of operator qualification. Utility Model Content

[0007] Therefore, the object of this invention is to provide a central support member equipped with an upper part, a lower part and an axis, which advantageously has the following construction arrangement, which, in addition to ensuring the stability of the upper part supporting flat articles to be stored and transported, also allows for quick connection over pallet gaps, thereby reducing the risk of breakage, tilting and slippage.

[0008] Another object of this invention is to provide a support member equipped with a main part having holes that allow the passage of binding devices (such as ropes, strips, and other objects that allow flat articles to be bound and secured to the main part).

[0009] The following are schematic diagrams of specific embodiments of the present invention. The dimensions and proportions are not necessarily actual dimensions and proportions, as the drawings are for illustrative purposes only and their scope of protection is determined solely by the scope of the appended claims. Attached Figure Description

[0016] Figure 6 A front view of the main part (2) is shown, which is constructed into two parts (an upper part (2a) and a lower part (2b)), wherein the upper part (2a) is equipped with a male connector (2a') and the lower part (2b) is equipped with a female connector (2b'). Detailed Implementation

[0017] This utility model patent discloses a structural arrangement for a support member applied to flat articles, wherein the flat articles are positioned on a pallet to facilitate transport, movement, and storage during the logistics process. Furthermore, the structural arrangement of this utility model provides for rapid assembly of the support member onto the pallet.

[0018] According to Figure 1, the present invention relates to a support (1) for flat articles, which includes a main part (2) and a tray (3) equipped with a set of platforms (30) having at least one gap (31), the at least one gap (31) preferably being arranged in the center of the tray (3) to prevent the flat articles being transported from tipping over.

[0019] As in Figure 2 and Figure 3 As observed, the main part (2) includes an upper part (20) having a sub-base (200) extending from an axis (21) and from at least two lateral parts (201) to form a basic triangular body with an enlarged sub-base (200), on which flat articles (not shown) are supported. In this way, by making the sides (201) oblique, tilting is facilitated, thereby allowing the flat articles to be positioned at an ideal angle, thus supporting the articles against each other and preventing them from overhanging and falling.

[0020] In addition, the main part (2) includes a lower part (22) which includes a base (220) having a top (221) and extending from a shaft (21) having the same height as the platform (30), so that there is no gap between the sub-base (200) and the top (221) and between the platform (30) and the top (221), which gives the support (1) greater stability.

[0021] like Figure 3 As shown, the top (221) of the base (220) is constructed of a flat surface, while the body of the lower part (22) can present, but is not limited to, parabolic, rectangular, elliptical or trapezoidal geometry.

[0022] Therefore, the sub-base (200), top (221) and shaft (21) together are responsible for stabilizing and locking the main part (2) against the tray (3), and the sub-base (200) is responsible for supporting the platform (30), while the top (221) is used for stabilization and locking.

[0023] The difference in this utility model lies in the way the main part (2) is fastened to the tray (3). As shown in the figure, due to the structural arrangement of the sub-base (200) and the base (220), the main part (2) can be quickly assembled to the tray (3). The sub-base (200) and the base (220) are constructed with a length greater than the gap (31) of the tray (3), while the base (220) and the shaft (21) are constructed with a thickness smaller than the gap (31) of the tray (3).

[0024] Therefore, advantageously, the construction arrangement of the main part (2) of this invention allows it to be fastened to the tray (3) by longitudinal fitting and transverse fixing only, without the use of additional complex articles and / or systems.

[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, to improve the stability of the flat article on the support (1), the main part (2) also includes a hole (202) that allows the passage of binding elements (such as ropes, belts, chains, strips, and other objects that can be bound). In this way, the flat article is surrounded by binding elements to prevent it from tipping over or sliding on the support (1).

[0026] In addition, such as Figure 5 As shown, the main part (2) includes grooves (203) responsible for structural reinforcement. These grooves (203) preferably have geometric shapes such as rectangles, triangles, squares and / or rhombuses, with mesh and / or diagonal patterns to distribute stress more evenly, thereby increasing the strength and stiffness of the part.

[0027] In addition, these grooves (203) help reduce the weight of the parts, making them more efficient and having lower construction costs, because less material is used.

[0028] exist Figure 6 In one embodiment of the present invention shown, the main part (2) is manufactured in two parts, an upper part (2a) and a lower part (2b), such that the upper part (2a) is equipped with a male connector (2a') and the lower part (2b) is equipped with a female connector (2b'), and vice versa.

[0029] Accessories (2a' and 2b') reduce the size of parts when necessary, thus maintaining a streamlined assembly and use. Furthermore, these accessories (2a' and 2b') are constructed to allow for easy connection of parts to other articles, eliminating the need for additional fasteners such as screws or welding. This not only simplifies the assembly process but also saves space, making it particularly useful in applications where size and practicality are critical.

[0030] The materials used to manufacture the components constituting the main part (2) may be, but are not limited to, wood, plastic, steel, iron, etc.

[0031] Those skilled in the art will readily recognize from the illustrated description and drawings several ways in which the present invention may be practiced without departing from the scope of the appended claims.
