[0001] The invention relates to a load securing device according to the preamble of claim 1.

[0002] A load securing device for the secure fastening of at least one barrel to a pallet, with a base plate having at least one barrel area designed to be placed on the top of the barrel, has already been proposed.

[0003] The object of the invention is, in particular, to provide a generic device with improved properties regarding the transportability and storage of barrels. This object is achieved according to the invention by the features of claim 1, while advantageous embodiments and further developments of the invention can be found in the dependent claims. Advantages of the invention

[0004] The invention relates to a load securing device for the secure fastening of at least one barrel on a pallet, with a base plate that has at least one barrel area which is designed to be arranged on the top of the barrel.

[0005] It is proposed that the load securing device shall have a positioning unit comprising at least three positioning elements designed as folding elements, wherein the positioning elements are configured to engage from the inside into an edge region of the barrel in order to position the base plate relative to the at least one barrel.

[0006] The design according to the invention provides a particularly advantageously stable storage and secure positioning of drums. Furthermore, it enables advantageously organized handling during transport and / or storage. It allows for a particularly space-saving arrangement of several pallets loaded with drums. Advantageously, it provides improved operational safety during the transport and / or storage of at least one drum. The load securing device is specifically designed to provide a positioning point for a fastening element that ensures the secure positioning of at least one drum on the pallet. Alternatively, load securing devices are conceivable that are designed to position two, three, or four drums on the pallet.The load securing device is designed to at least assist force transmission through the fastening element between the drum and the pallet by positioning the fastening element. The base plate is designed as a flat area of ​​the load securing device. The base plate is designed to be positioned, at least partially, on the at least one drum or several drums. The base plate is preferably rectangular, square, or polygonal. The surface of the base plate can be divided into individual drum sections by pre-embossed lines. The base plate forms the at least one drum section. The drum section is, in particular, designed as an area of ​​the base plate whose dimensions correspond at least substantially to the upper surface of the at least one drum. It is conceivable that the drum section is delimited by an annular or polygonal marking and / or recess.Alternatively, the barrel area can be designed as a closed surface with markings for positioning at least one barrel.

[0007] The base plate can have at least one substantially circular recess. The circular recess can be located, in particular, in the center of a barrel section. The circular recess can, in particular, facilitate the orientation of the load securing device relative to the at least one barrel. The circular recess can also provide access to elements located on the top of the barrel, such as an opening, a closure, or a handle. The load securing device has at least one positioning unit. The positioning unit can be formed by incisions, folds, or attached segments. The positioning unit is formed as an integral part of the base plate. Preferably, the positioning unit is formed integrally with the base plate.The positioning unit has in particular several positioning elements designed as folding elements, each of which is integrally formed with the base plate.

[0008] The positioning elements, designed as folding elements, are specifically configured to be formed by pressing, unfolding, or folding pre-cut sections of the base plate. Each positioning element designed as a folding element is cut out of the base plate along three sides and bonded to the base plate along a fourth side. When the positioning element is unfolded, the three cut-out sides are positively locked within the base plate. Preferably, the load securing device has at least one retaining point. The retaining point is designed as a bonded connection between the positioning element designed as a folding element and the base plate. Preferably, two retaining points are provided to fix a positioning element designed as a folding element in its original position within the base plate.The retaining point is designed so that the material bond can be broken if necessary to detach the respective folding positioning element from the base plate. The retaining points can be arranged along the three sides of the folding positioning element that are cut out of the base plate. The fourth side, which is materially bonded, forms a fold line, via which the folding element is pivotally connected to the base plate when pressed in or erected. By applying pressure to the surface of the folding positioning elements, they can be at least partially detached from the base plate along the three cut lines and erected downwards and diagonally inwards via the remaining fold line.The positioning elements, designed as folding elements, are oriented downwards towards the barrel located below the base plate and obliquely inwards towards the barrel's central longitudinal axis when erected. The angle between the base plate and the positioning elements is typically between 1° and 90°. The positioning elements can have a triangular, trapezoidal, or arc-shaped geometry. They are manufactured from the base plate, in particular by cutting processes. Specifically, the positioning elements are cut from the base plate. Various cutting processes are conceivable for this purpose, such as cutting, punching, cutters, plotting, milling, or laser cutting.The folding direction is designed such that the positioning elements, which are designed as folding elements, form a contact surface adapted to the inner edge of at least one barrel. The positioning elements, designed as folding elements, are configured to rest against the inner edge of the at least one barrel. The positioning elements, designed as folding elements, rest against an inner wall of the upper barrel rim. It is also conceivable that the folding elements undercut the inner edge of the at least one barrel, at least in sections, or create a clamping or at least partially form-fitting connection with the barrel rim. The terms "provided" and "configured" are to be understood in particular as designed and / or configured.The phrase "an object is intended for a specific function" means, in particular, that the object fulfills and / or performs this specific function in at least one application and / or operating state. "At least substantially" in this context means, in particular, that a deviation from a predetermined value is less than 25%, preferably less than 10%, and most preferably less than 5% of the predetermined value. "One-piece" means, in particular, formed in a single piece. Preferably, this single piece is manufactured from a single blank.

[0009] Furthermore, it is proposed that the positioning elements, designed as folding elements, are arranged at least substantially along a circular arc whose radius corresponds at least substantially to an inner rim radius of the barrel. Advantageously, this allows for particularly simple and reproducible manufacturing of the load securing device. Moreover, a particularly reliable fixation of the at least one barrel can be achieved. The positioning elements, designed as folding elements, are arranged along a circular arc that runs around the central axis of the barrel section. The center point of a barrel section coincides at least substantially with the longitudinal central axis of the barrel on whose upper surface the respective barrel section is arranged.The positioning elements, designed as folding elements, are arranged such that their outer edges run along an imaginary circle whose center coincides with the center of the respective barrel area and whose radius essentially corresponds to the inner radius of the barrel rim. Alternatively, the positioning elements, designed as folding elements, can be arranged slightly radially offset outwards or inwards to compensate for manufacturing tolerances or different barrel diameters.

[0010] Furthermore, it is proposed that the positioning elements, designed as folding elements, have a semicircular outer edge whose radius of curvature essentially corresponds to the inner radius of curvature of the at least one barrel. Advantageously, this allows for particularly reliable positioning of the load securing device on at least one barrel. Particularly advantageous is the ability to manufacture the positioning elements, designed as folding elements, with exceptional simplicity and precision. The positioning elements, designed as folding elements, have a semicircular outer edge. The radius of the outer edge preferably corresponds at least essentially to the inner radius of the barrel rim of the respective barrel. The outer edges of the positioning elements, designed as folding elements, are arranged, in particular, section by section along a circle whose center point coincides with the center point of the associated barrel section.Alternatively, the outer edge can have a slightly larger or smaller radius, with deviations in the radius of curvature serving to compensate for manufacturing tolerances or dimensional deviations of the barrels. Alternatively, it is conceivable that the positioning elements, designed as folding elements, have a straight or at least substantially polygonal outer edge.

[0011] Furthermore, it is proposed that the positioning elements, designed as folding elements, are formed integrally with the base plate. Advantageously, this allows for particularly reliable manufacturing and assembly.

The positioning elements designed as folding elements are formed directly from the base plate by forming or folding. The positioning elements designed as folding elements have a material-bonded folding edge that connects them to the base plate. The folding edge can be formed by a local weakening of the material, in particular by material removal or local material densification, which is designed to allow folding or buckling.The folding edge and the semicircular outer edge are arranged on opposite sides of the positioning elements designed as folding elements. The base plate can have one or more engagement recesses located in the area of ​​the positioning elements designed as folding elements. The engagement recesses are specifically formed directly adjacent to the semicircular outer edge of the positioning elements designed as folding elements. The engagement recesses are specifically semicircular in shape. The engagement recesses are designed to facilitate unfolding or setting up the positioning elements designed as folding elements from the plane of the base plate. Alternatively, the engagement recesses can be designed as elongated or segment-shaped openings.

[0012] Furthermore, it is proposed that the base plate has a folded element on at least one side, configured to at least partially encircle at least one barrel from at least one side. A lateral positioning of the load securing device on the at least one barrel is particularly advantageous. A particularly reliable positioning and fixation of the at least one barrel can also be advantageously provided. Preferably, the base plate has a folded element on each outer edge. The folded element is configured to extend laterally over the edge region of the at least one barrel and to encircle it at least partially.

Preferably, two fastening recesses are arranged such that each allows the positioning of a fastening element in the transverse or longitudinal direction to the main axis of the pallet.It is conceivable that the fastening recesses preferably have rounded edges or reinforced edges to absorb tensile forces. Preferably, the fastening recesses are arranged symmetrically to the central axis and the transverse axis of the base plate. Alternatively, the fastening recesses can be arranged in the corner areas or between the binding areas of the base plate. The geometry of the recesses can be rectangular, slotted, or oval to accommodate different band widths. The geometry of the fastening recesses can be adapted to different fastening means. The fastening recesses are arranged, in particular, in the edge area of ​​the base plate and extend into the respective adjoining folded element. The fastening recesses are arranged, in particular, in the transition area between the base plate and the folded element adjoining the respective side of the base plate.The fastening recesses extend at least partially into the folded element, so that a fastener is positioned through both elements. Alternatively, the fastening recesses can be located entirely within the folded elements.

[0014] Furthermore, it is proposed that the load securing device has at least two through-holes arranged in the base plate, designed to position the fastening element at least partially beneath the base plate. Advantageously, a flush and stackable load securing device can be provided. Particularly advantageous is the provision of a particularly stable and secure fixation of the at least one drum on the pallet. The through-holes are designed to position a fastening element at least partially, preferably to a large extent, beneath the base plate. The through-holes can have round, oval, or slotted geometries to accommodate different strap types. The edges of the through-holes can be folded over or reinforced to prevent the fastening element from cutting into them.Preferably, two through-holes are arranged in pairs such that a defined guidance of the fastening element is enabled transversely to the longitudinal axis of the pallet. Preferably, two further through-holes are arranged in pairs such that a defined guidance of the fastening element is enabled parallel to the longitudinal axis of the pallet.

[0015] Furthermore, it is proposed that the load securing device includes at least one folding element designed to separate at least two drum sections from one another. Advantageously, this provides a clear separation and stable support between adjacent drums. Mutual contact or displacement of the drums during transport and storage can be advantageously prevented.
