Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a tray-equipped pallet in which a pallet and a tray made of different materials are fixed, and to a packaging member including a tray-equipped pallet. [Background technology]

[0002] A commonly used packaging method involves placing products on a tray-equipped pallet and then covering them with a cylindrical upper case. This method allows the bottom of the packaging case to double as the pallet, eliminating the need to place the packaging case on the pallet after the products are packed in it. This makes packaging and transporting heavy products, such as electronic devices, particularly easier.

[0003] Here, the pallet portion of a tray-equipped pallet needs to support heavy products, so it is often made of strong metal or wood. On the other hand, the tray portion of a tray-equipped pallet does not need to be strong, so it is often made of cardboard. Therefore, when disposing of a tray-equipped pallet, it is necessary to separate the tray and pallet, which are made of different materials, to increase recyclability.

[0004] Patent Document 1 discloses a packaging box that integrates, via a locking means, a rectangular metal pallet having openings in its legs and a loading section on the upper surface of the legs for placing an item, and a cardboard case for protecting the item placed on the loading section of the pallet.

[0005] Patent Document 2 discloses a cardboard pallet in which both end edges of the top and bottom plates are connected by side plates to form a rectangular frame shape from the front, and at least one parallel dividing section is formed at the same position on each of the top and bottom plates. This cardboard pallet is assembled by joining the dividing sections with peelable joining means, and can be separated into individual pallet pieces by peeling the joining means.

[0006] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-205738 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-205738 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0007] In the configuration of Patent Document 1, the pallet is made from a single metal part, which makes it very expensive. Also, a hinge is used as a locking means for connecting the cardboard case and the pallet, but because the pallet is made of metal, the hinge attachment part cannot be bent, which poses problems such as a large amount of space required for storage and high storage costs.

[0008] The configuration of Patent Document 2 aims to separate a cardboard pallet into individual pallet pieces and fold them up to allow for compact disposal, but because the entire pallet is made of cardboard sheets, there were concerns about its strength when heavy products were placed on it.

[0009] In view of the above problems, the present invention aims to provide a tray-equipped pallet in which the pallet and tray, which are made of different materials, can be easily separated, and a packaging member including the same. [Means for solving the problem]

[0010] To achieve the above object, a first aspect of the present invention is a tray-equipped pallet comprising a pallet, a tray, and a support plate. The pallet has a plurality of support columns and a top plate and a bottom plate secured to the top and bottom surfaces of each support column. The tray is made of a sheet and has a rectangular bottom surface secured to the top surface of the pallet. The support plate is secured so as to overlap the bottom surface of the tray. The pallet has a connecting portion protruding from the upper surface of the top plate and to which the support plate is secured. The tray has an engagement hole formed in the bottom surface with which the connecting portion engages, a first zipper portion that separates the bottom surface into a first bottom surface portion on one side and a second bottom surface portion on the other side, and a second zipper portion formed adjacent to the engagement hole and that can be torn on the side of the engagement hole opposite the first zipper portion. After tearing off the first zipper portion and the second zipper portion, the pallet, support plate, and tray can be separated by pulling out the first bottom surface portion and the second bottom surface portion in the direction opposite the torn portion of the engagement hole. [Effects of the Invention]

[0011] According to the first configuration of the present invention, the sheet tray can be easily separated from the pallet and support plate by tearing off the first and second zipper sections of the tray without using tools such as a nail puller or screwdriver. This improves the ease of separation when discarding or recycling used tray-equipped pallets, and is also environmentally friendly. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0013] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing a state in which a product P is placed in a packaging member 1 equipped with a tray-equipped pallet 2 of the present invention. As shown in Fig. 1, the packaging member 1 is composed of the tray-equipped pallet 2, an upper case 3, and a cushioning member 4.

[0014] The tray-equipped pallet 2 is composed of a tray 5 and a pallet 6 fixed to the underside of the tray 5. The tray 5 is made of a cardboard sheet and has a rectangular bottom surface 50 (see FIG. 2) on which the product P is placed, and a pair of first flaps 51 and a pair of second flaps 52 connected to the four sides of the bottom surface 50. Through holes 8a are formed in predetermined locations of the first flap 51 and the second flaps 52.

[0015] The pallet 6 is made of wood and consists of multiple support pillars 61, a top plate 62 and a bottom plate 63 fixed to the top and bottom surfaces of each support pillar 61, and arm insertion holes 9 are formed between each support pillar 61 to insert the arms of a forklift or hand pallet (a cart for transporting pallets).

[0016] The tray-equipped pallet 2 also serves as the bottom surface of the packaging member 1, and since there is no need to place the packaging member 1 on the pallet after the product P is packed, this makes it easy to pack and transport large products in particular. The detailed configuration of the tray-equipped pallet 2 will be described later.

[0017] The upper case 3 is made of a cardboard sheet and has a rectangular parallelepiped shape with an open bottom, and covers the sides and top of the product (item to be packed) P. A through hole 8b is formed in the lower end of the upper case 3 at a position that overlaps with the through holes 8a in the first flap 51 and the second flap 52. The tray-equipped pallet 2 and the upper case 3 are joined together by inserting a fastener (not shown) into the through holes 8a and 8b while they are overlapped. Note that, although the present embodiment uses an upper case 3 in which cylindrical side portions and a top surface are integrally formed, an upper case 3 that can be separated into side portions and a box-shaped top surface may also be used.

[0018] The cushioning material 4 is placed in the gap between the product P and the upper case 3 to protect the product P from external impacts. The cushioning material 4 is formed by folding a cardboard sheet into a predetermined shape. The cushioning material 4 includes side cushioning materials 41 that are placed on the side surfaces of the product P and an upper cushioning material 42 that is placed on the upper surface of the product P.

[0019] The side cushioning materials 41 are arranged in the vertical direction so as to cover the four corners of the side of the product P. A predetermined gap is formed between the side cushioning materials 41 and the flap 5b, and the lower end of the upper case 3 is inserted into this gap. Two top cushioning materials 42 are arranged in parallel on the top surface of the product P.

[0020] Fig. 2 is a perspective view of a tray-equipped pallet 2 according to a first embodiment of the present invention that constitutes packaging member 1. Fig. 3 is a perspective view showing a state in which support plate 10 has been removed from tray-equipped pallet 2 of the first embodiment. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, tray 5 is formed by punching a single cardboard sheet into a predetermined shape, and has a rectangular bottom surface 50, a pair of first flaps 51 connected to two opposing sides of bottom surface 50 via fold lines, a pair of second flaps 51 connected to the other two sides of bottom surface 50, a first zipper portion 53, a second zipper portion 54, a grip portion 55, and an engagement hole 57.

[0021] The first zipper portion 53 is an area sandwiched between two first break lines (perforations) 53a that extend from each of the pair of second flaps 52 across the fold line to the bottom surface 50. A gap is formed between each of the first zipper portions 53. The bottom surface 50 is divided into a first bottom surface portion 50a on one side (upper left side in FIG. 2) and a second bottom surface portion 50b on the other side (lower right side in FIG. 2) across the first break line 53a of the first zipper portion 53.

[0022] The second zipper portion 54 is an area surrounded by two second break lines (perforations) 54a extending from the tips of the pair of first flaps 51 toward the first bottom surface portion 50a and the second bottom surface portion 50b. The second zipper portions 54 are formed in four locations in total, two on each of the pair of first flaps 51.

[0023] The gripping portions 55 are formed at approximately the center of the opposing sides of the first bottom surface portion 50a and the second bottom surface portion 50b, with the first zipper portion 53 interposed therebetween.

[0024] The engagement holes 57 are formed in four locations on the first bottom surface portion 50a and the second bottom surface portion 50b, adjacent to the second zipper portion 54 across the fold line. Wooden connecting portions 62a protruding from the upper surface of the top plate 62 of the pallet 6 engage with the engagement holes 57. The thickness of the connecting portions 62a (the amount of protrusion from the top plate 62) is approximately the same as the thickness of the bottom surface 50.

[0025] A pair of support plates 10 are superimposed on the bottom surface 50. The support plates 10 are made of wood and are fixed along two sides adjacent to the first flaps 51 of the first bottom surface portion 50a and the second bottom surface portion 50b. The support plates 51 face casters (not shown) provided at the four corners of the product P.

[0026] When assembling the tray-equipped pallet 2, the tray 5 is placed on the top plate 62 of the pallet 6. At this time, as shown in FIG. 3, the connecting portions 62a formed at four locations on the top plate 62 are engaged with the engaging holes 57 of the tray 5. This positions the tray 5 relative to the pallet 6. Then, the support plate 10 is fixed from above the tray 5.

[0027] Figure 4 is an enlarged perspective view of the area around the second zipper section 54 of the tray-equipped pallet 2 of the first embodiment. Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view (cross-sectional view taken along arrow AA in Figure 4) of the area around the connecting section 62a of the tray-equipped pallet 2 of the first embodiment. Note that although Figures 4 and 5 show the area around the second zipper section 54 located at the right end of Figure 2, the second zipper sections 54 at the other three locations have a similar configuration.

[0028] As shown in Fig. 4, the support plate 10 is disposed along the boundary between the second bottom surface portion 50b and the first flap 51, and overlaps the connecting portion 62a. In this state, as shown in Fig. 5, a nail 70 is driven into the connecting portion 62a from the top surface of the support plate 10, so that the nail 70 penetrates the support plate 10, the connecting portion 62a, and the top plate 60 and reaches the support portion 61. As a result, the support plate 10, the connecting portion 62a, and the top plate 60 are fixed together by the nail 70.

[0029] The tray 5 is not fixed by nails 70, but with the support plate 10 fixed to the connecting portion 62a, the engagement holes 57 formed in the second bottom surface portion 50b are engaged with the connecting portion 62a. Therefore, the horizontal movement of the bottom surface 50 is restricted by the engagement between the engagement holes 57 and the connecting portion 62a. Furthermore, the upward movement of the bottom surface 50 is restricted by the support plate 10. In other words, the tray 5 is fixed in a state where it is sandwiched between the top plate 62 and the support plate 10.

[0030] Next, a procedure for separating the tray 5 and pallet 6 of the tray-equipped pallet 2 of this embodiment will be described. First, from the state shown in Figure 2, the first zipper portions 53 are torn off in two locations along the first breaking lines 53a. As a result, the tray 5 is cut at the center of the second flap 52 and divided into a portion including the first bottom surface portion 50a and a portion including the second bottom surface portion 50b.

[0031] Next, the second zipper portions 54 at four locations on the first flap 51 are torn off along the second breaking lines 54a. Figure 6 is a perspective view showing the tray-equipped pallet 2 of the first embodiment with the first zipper portions 53 and second zipper portions 54 separated.

[0032] 6 in which the second zipper portion 54 is detached, the end of the engagement hole 57 adjacent to the second zipper portion 54 on the first flap 51 side is open. Therefore, the portion of the tray 5 including the first bottom surface portion 50a and the portion including the second bottom surface portion 50b can each move to the opposite side of the first flap 51 (to the inside of the pallet 6).

[0033] This allows the gripping portions 55 of the portion including the first bottom surface portion 50a and the portion including the second bottom surface portion 50b to be gripped and pulled out in the direction opposite to the first flap 51 (the direction of the hatched arrow in FIG. 6).

[0034] Figure 7 is a perspective view of the pallet 6 after the tray 5 has been removed and separated from the tray-equipped pallet 2 of Figure 6. With the tray 5 removed, only the wooden parts of the support posts 61, top plate 62, bottom plate 63, connecting portion 62a, and support plate 10 remain in the pallet 6.

[0035] According to the configuration of this embodiment, when discarding the tray-equipped pallet 2, the tray 5 made of cardboard sheet can be separated from the wooden pallet 6 and support plate 10 by tearing off the first zipper portion 53 and the second zipper portion 54. As a result, the tray 5 can be easily separated without using tools such as a nail puller or a screwdriver.

[0036] Therefore, the ease of sorting when discarding or recycling the used tray-equipped pallet 2 is improved, making the packaging member 1 environmentally friendly.

[0037] Figure 8 is a perspective view of a tray-equipped pallet 2 according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Figure 9 is a perspective view showing the tray-equipped pallet 2 of the second embodiment with the support plate 10 removed. Figure 10 is an enlarged perspective view of the periphery of the second zipper section 54 (within the dashed circle S in Figure 8) of the tray-equipped pallet 2 of the second embodiment. In this embodiment, the two second break lines 54a that define the second zipper section 54 do not extend to the tip 51a of the first flap 51. More specifically, as shown in Figure 10, a predetermined distance d is provided between the two second break lines 54a that define the second zipper section 54 and the tip 51a of the first flap 51.

[0038] Additionally, a first finger hook 54b is formed between the second zipper section 54 and the connecting section 62a. The first finger hook 54b is an opening formed in the first flap 51. The edge of the opening of the first finger hook 54b on the second zipper section 54 side is arc-shaped to make it easier to hook a finger.

[0039] Additionally, second finger hooks 58 are formed on the second flap 52 at positions close to the first flap 51 (at both longitudinal ends). The second finger hooks 58 are composed of a cut-and-raised piece 58a and a finger insertion hole 58b. The end of the cut-and-raised piece 58a that is closer to the first flap 51 is connected to the second flap 52. The finger insertion hole 58b is formed adjacent to the tip of the cut-and-raised piece 58a (at the end farther from the first flap 51).

[0040] Figure 11 is a partial perspective view showing a state in which the first flap 51 and second flap 52 of the tray-equipped pallet 2 of the second embodiment are held upright by adhesive tape 71. Note that although Figure 11 shows only one corner of the tray-equipped pallet 2, the other three corners have the same configuration.

[0041] When packaging a product P using a packaging member 1 equipped with a tray-equipped pallet 2, as shown in Figure 1, when connecting the tray-equipped pallet 2 and the upper case 3, the first flap 51 and the second flap 52 must be kept upright.

[0042] 11, adhesive tape 71 is attached from first flap 51 to second flap 52. This holds first flap 51 and second flap 52 in an upright position. The adhesive tape 71 is made of resin (e.g., polypropylene) and has an adhesive applied to one side. The adhesive tape 71 is attached from a position overlapping the second breaking line 54a of the second zipper portion 54, across the boundary between the first flap 51 and the second flap 52, to a position overlapping the cut-and-raised piece 58a of the second finger hook portion 58.

[0043] Next, the procedure for separating the tray 5 and pallet 6 of the tray-equipped pallet 2 of this embodiment will be described. First, from the state shown in FIG. 11 , insert a finger into the finger insertion hole 58b of the second finger hook 58 and lift the cut-and-raised piece 58a outward. This causes the edge of the adhesive tape 71 to rise up along with the cut-and-raised piece 58a, so the edge of the adhesive tape 71 can be grasped and the adhesive tape 71 can be peeled off from the first flap 51 and the second flap 52.

[0044] Next, as in the first embodiment, the two first zipper portions 53 are torn off along the first breaking lines 53a, thereby cutting the tray 5 at the center of the second flap 52 and dividing it into a portion including the first bottom portion 50a and a portion including the second bottom portion 50b.

[0045] Next, insert your fingers into the first finger loop 54b of the second zipper portion 54 to grasp the edge of the second zipper portion 54 on the connecting portion 62a side, and pull it toward the tip 51a of the first flap 51. This tears the second zipper portion 54 along the second breaking lines 54a. In the same manner, tear off the second zipper portions 54 at four locations on the first flap 51 along the second breaking lines 54a.

[0046] As a result, similarly to the first embodiment, the portion of the tray 5 including the first bottom surface portion 50a and the portion including the second bottom surface portion 50b can each be moved to the opposite side of the first flap 51 (inside the pallet 6). Therefore, the gripping portions 55 of the portion including the first bottom surface portion 50a and the portion including the second bottom surface portion 50b can be gripped and each can be pulled out in the direction opposite to the first flap 51 (the direction of the hatched arrow in FIG. 6).

[0047] In the tray-equipped pallet 2 of the first embodiment, the two second break lines 54a that define the second zipper section 54 are formed up to the tip 51a of the first flap 51. Therefore, when a product P is packaged using a packaging member 1 equipped with a tray-equipped pallet 2, if the packaging member 1 is subjected to an impact due to being dropped or the like, there is a risk that the first flap 51 will break from the tip 51a along the second break lines 54a.

[0048] In this embodiment, a predetermined distance d is provided between the second breaking line 54a and the tip 51a of the first flap 51. Therefore, when an impact is applied to the packaging member 1, it is possible to effectively prevent the first flap 51 from breaking along the second breaking line 54a.

[0049] Additionally, a first finger hook 54b is formed between the second zipper section 54 and the connecting section 62a. Therefore, by inserting a finger into the first finger hook 54b and gripping the edge of the second zipper section 54 on the connecting section 62 side, and pulling it toward the tip 51a of the first flap 51, the second zipper section 54 can be easily torn off along the second breaking line 54a.

[0050] Furthermore, because the first flap 51 and the second flap 52 are held upright using the adhesive tape 71, the tray-equipped pallet 2 can be easily connected to the upper case 3 after the products P have been placed on the tray-equipped pallet 2. The second finger hook 58 is formed in a position that overlaps with the edge of the adhesive tape 71 on the second flap 52, so that when separating the tray 5 and pallet 6 of the tray-equipped pallet 2, the adhesive tape 71 can be easily peeled off by hooking a finger on the second finger hook 58.

[0051] The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, in the above-described embodiments, a first zipper portion 53 is provided on each of a pair of second flaps 52, and a gap is formed between each of the first zipper portions 53. However, a single first zipper portion 53 may be provided so as to be continuous between the pair of second flaps 52.

[0052] In addition, in each of the above embodiments, connecting portions 62a are provided at four locations on the top surface 62 of the pallet 6, and engagement holes 57 with which the connecting portions 62a engage, and second zipper portions 54 adjacent to the engagement holes 57 are formed at four locations on the bottom surface 50 of the tray 5, but the number and arrangement of the connecting portions 62a, engagement holes 57, and second zipper portions 54 can be set as desired. In each of the above embodiments, nails 70 are used to fix the support plate 10 to the connecting portions 62a of the tray 6, but adhesive, for example, can also be used.

[0053] In addition, in each of the above embodiments, a tray-equipped pallet 2 including a tray 5 made of a cardboard sheet, and a wooden pallet 6 and support plate 10 has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the present invention can also be applied to a tray 5 formed from a resin sheet, or a tray-equipped pallet 2 including a metal pallet 6 and support plate 10. [Industrial Applicability]

[0054] The present invention can be used for a tray-equipped pallet in which a pallet and a tray made of different materials are fixed together. By using the present invention, it is possible to provide a tray-equipped pallet in which the pallet and the tray can be easily separated, and a packaging member including the tray-equipped pallet.
