Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a mesh pallet that can store, manage, and transport a wide variety of parts, products, and other items in, for example, factories, warehouses, construction sites, logistics sites, and the like. [Background technology]

[0002] Conventionally, as a mesh pallet of this kind, for example, there is a device described in Utility Model Registration No. 3221270. That is, this mesh pallet consists of a pallet body having a box-shaped mesh structure with an open top, and a handle that is detachably attached to a mesh part located on the upper side of the rear side panel of the pallet body. Fixing devices are provided at both ends of the handle, and the fixing devices include a pair of front and rear plate members and a packing lock attached to the back of one of the plate members, and the pair of plate members keeps the mesh part sandwiched between them by the packing lock, so that the handle is attached to the upper mesh part of the rear side panel. An operator holds the handle and runs the mesh pallet, and the items stored in the pallet body are transported. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3221270 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] However, in the above-mentioned conventional mesh pallets, because the handle is attached to the upper mesh portion of the side panel, i.e., attached in a position biased toward the upper side, when moving the pallet using the handle, depending on the weight, shape and storage form of the items stored within the pallet body, it becomes difficult to transport the items in a balanced and stable manner, resulting in a problem in use that makes it unsafe.

[0005] Furthermore, because the handle is directly attached to the mesh portion of the side panel, improper operation of the handle can cause deformation of the mesh portion of the side panel, which is an undesirable drawback.

[0006] Therefore, the present invention has been made in consideration of the above points, and an object of the present invention is to provide a mesh pallet that can safely transport articles in a well-balanced and stable state by operating a handle, regardless of the type of articles stored in the pallet body or the storage form, and that does not cause unintended deformation of the panels that make up the pallet body by such handle operation. Another object of the present invention is to provide a mesh pallet that can be stacked without the handle becoming an obstacle even when the mesh pallet is folded. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The mesh pallet described in claim 1 is characterized in that it comprises a mesh-like pallet body having a bottom panel, front and rear panels rotatably arranged at the front and rear of the bottom panel so as to be foldable onto the bottom panel, and a pair of side panels rotatably arranged on both sides of the bottom panel, a fixed rod arranged in the width direction at the rear of the bottom panel to reinforce the bottom panel, a pair of mounting fixtures arranged on the fixed rod at a predetermined interval in the width direction, a gate-shaped handle whose both ends are attached to each mounting fixture and configured to be rotatable in the front-to-back direction, and casters arranged on the back surface of the bottom panel.

[0008] In the mesh pallet described in claim 1, when an operator holds the upper part of the handle and pushes it forward with an object to be transported stored in the pallet body, the pallet body moves forward on the casters. This allows the object stored in the pallet body to be transported to a desired location.

[0009] In the mesh pallet described in claim 1, the pressure applied to the handle by the worker is transmitted to the casters via the fixed rod for reinforcement and the bottom panel arranged at the bottom of the pallet body, so that the goods can be safely transported in a stable and well-balanced state by simple handle operation without being affected by the type of goods stored in the pallet body or the storage form, etc. Also, the handle is secured to the fixed rod provided on the bottom panel for reinforcement via the mounting fixture with a predetermined strength, so that the panel constituting the pallet body is not inadvertently deformed by handle operation, and good safety is ensured.

[0010] Furthermore, when the mesh pallets are not in use, they are normally stored and managed in a stacked manner, and because the mesh pallets have casters, the mesh pallets are stacked one above the other via the casters. As a result, a space is formed between the bottom panel of the upper mesh pallet and the rear panel of the lower mesh pallet, and the handle of the lower mesh pallet is accommodated in this space, allowing multiple mesh pallets to be stacked stably and safely.

[0011] The mesh pallet described in claim 2 is characterized in that it comprises a mesh-like pallet body having a bottom panel, front and rear panels which are rotatably arranged at the front and rear of the bottom panel so as to be foldable onto the bottom panel, and a pair of side panels which are rotatably arranged on both sides of the bottom panel, a fixed rod which is arranged in the width direction at the rear of the bottom panel to reinforce the bottom panel, a pair of mounting fixtures which are arranged on the fixed rod at a predetermined interval in the width direction, a gate-shaped handle whose both ends are attached to each of the mounting fixtures and which is configured to be rotatable in the front-to-rear direction, and legs which are arranged at the four corners of the back surface of the bottom panel.

[0012] In the mesh pallet described in claim 2, the pallet body is set on, for example, a pallet cart equipped with casters and transported. When an operator holds the upper part of the handle and pushes it forward with an object to be transported stored in the pallet body, the pallet body travels forward via the casters of the pallet cart. This allows the object stored in the pallet body to be transported to a desired location.

[0013] In the mesh pallet described in claim 2, the pressure applied to the handle by the worker is transmitted to the casters of the pallet cart via the reinforcing fixed rod arranged at the bottom of the pallet body, the bottom panel, and the legs, so that the goods can be transported safely in a stable state by simple handle operation without being affected by the type of goods stored in the pallet body or the storage form, etc. Also, the handle is secured to the fixed rod provided on the bottom panel for reinforcement via the mounting fixture with a predetermined strength, so that the handle operation does not cause inadvertent deformation of the panels constituting the pallet body, and good safety is ensured.

[0014] Furthermore, when the mesh pallets are not in use, they are usually folded and stacked for storage and management, but because the mesh pallets have legs, the mesh pallets are stacked one above the other via the legs. Therefore, a space is formed between the bottom panel of the upper mesh pallet and the rear panel of the lower mesh pallet, and the handle of the lower mesh pallet is accommodated in this space, allowing multiple mesh pallets to be stacked stably and safely.

[0015] The mesh pallet described in claim 3 is a mesh pallet described in claim 1 or 2, characterized in that both front and rear end portions of the bottom panel are constituted by upward connecting panel portions having the desired height, and the front panel and the rear panel are each rotatably attached to each connecting panel portion.

[0016] In the mesh pallet described in claim 3, when the pallet is not in use, both side panels are rotated and folded onto the bottom panel, and the front panel and rear panel are also folded in for storage and management.

[0017] In the mesh pallet described in claim 3, the front and rear ends of the bottom panel are formed of connecting panel parts having a desired height, so that a folding space for the side panels is secured between the connecting panel parts. This makes it possible to position the side end of one of the side panels that is folded upward in a position adjacent to the upper end of the connecting panel part, and the front panel and rear panel can be folded in a substantially horizontal state with as little inclination as possible. As a result, a plurality of the mesh pallets can be stacked safely in a stable state, so that they can be stored and managed in a small space.

[0018] The mesh pallet of claim 4 is a mesh pallet of claim 1 or 2, wherein the handle comprises a gripping portion arranged in the width direction of the rear panel and a support portion provided at both ends of the gripping portion, the support portion comprising a fixed portion which is attached to the mounting fixture so as to be freely raised and lowered, and a rotating portion which is rotatably provided on the fixed portion, the rotating portion being fixed to the rear panel, and a pair of sleeves which can cover the connection portion between the rotating portion and the fixed portion to prevent the rotating portion from rotating are slidably provided on the support portion.

[0019] The mesh pallet of claim 5 is a mesh pallet of claim 3, wherein the handle comprises a gripping portion arranged in the width direction of the rear panel and a support portion provided at both ends of the gripping portion, the support portion comprising a fixed portion which is attached to the mounting fixture so as to be freely raised and lowered, and a rotating portion which is provided rotatably on the fixed portion, the rotating portion being fixed to the rear panel, and a pair of sleeves which can cover the connection portion between the rotating portion and the fixed portion to prevent the rotating portion from rotating are provided slidably on the support portion.

[0020] In the mesh pallet according to claim 4 or 5, when assembling the folded mesh pallet, first, when the handle is rotated backward while gripping the gripping portion, the rotating portion of the handle and the rear panel are fixed, so that the two rotate together. This rotational movement of the two causes the fixed portion of the handle to receive a downward pressing force via the rotating portion, so that the fixed portion descends inside the cylindrical body of the mounting fixture. Then, with the rear panel in an upright position, the sleeve is slid downward to cover the connection between the fixed portion and the rotating portion of the handle. In this state, the two side panels and the front panel are mutually connected to assemble the pallet body. On the other hand, when folding the pallet body in an assembled state, the two side panels and the front panel are first folded onto the bottom panel. Then, the sleeves covering the connection between the fixed portion and the rotating portion of the handle are slid upward. When the handle is gripped and rotated forward, the handle and the rear panel rotate together. This rotation of the handle and the rear panel causes the fixed part of the handle to receive an upward pulling force via the rotating part, causing the fixed part to rise from the cylindrical body of the mounting fixture.

[0021] In the mesh pallet according to claim 4 or 5, when the rear panel is raised, the connection between the fixed part and the rotating part of the handle is covered by the sleeve, and the rotation of the handle is reliably restricted, so that the rear panel can be prevented from being folded by inadvertent rotation of the handle. Therefore, since the rear panel is maintained in an upright state, the assembly work of the pallet body, folding work, and the transportation work of the article can be performed easily and safely. In addition, when folding the rear panel, the fixed part of the handle receives an upward pulling force from the rotating part, and the fixed part rises from the cylindrical body of the mounting tool, so that the entire handle rises. As a result, the presence of the handle does not hinder the folding of the rear panel, and the rear panel can be folded onto the front panel without tilting it as much as possible. If the handle is configured not to rise, the handle and the rear panel will be folded in an inclined state, which is an inconvenience. Effect of the Invention

[0022] According to the present invention, a mesh pallet can be provided that allows the pallet body to be moved stably and safely by operating a handle without being affected by the type of items stored in the pallet body or the storage shape, and that does not cause inadvertent deformation of the pallet body by such handle operation.

[0024] An embodiment of a mesh pallet according to the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. An open-top pallet body 1 shown in Figures 1 to 3 includes a bottom panel 2, a front panel 3 and a rear panel 4 rotatably provided at the front and rear of the bottom panel 2 so as to be foldable onto the bottom panel 2, and a pair of side panels 5, 5 rotatably provided on both sides of the bottom panel 2. All of the components of the pallet body 1 are formed into a mesh shape using metal rod-shaped bodies.

[0025] Both front and rear ends of the bottom panel 2 are formed by connecting panel parts 6, 6 of a desired height that are folded upward. The upper ends of the connecting panel parts 6, 6 are configured to be located in the vicinity of the side end of one of the side panels 5 that is folded upward when the both side panels 5, 5 are folded onto the bottom panel 2 (see FIG. 7).

[0026] A reinforcing frame 10 is provided on the back surface of the bottom panel 2, and as shown in Fig. 3, the reinforcing frame 10 is composed of fixed rods 11, 11 provided in the width direction at both front and rear ends of the bottom panel 2, an intermediate fixed rod 12 straddling the fixed rods 11, 11, and a pair of end fixed rods 13, 13. The intermediate fixed rod 12 straddles the approximate center of the fixed rods 11, 11, and the end fixed rod 13 is made of two frame members 13a, 13a arranged at a predetermined interval in the width direction and straddles the ends of the fixed rods 11, 11. The fixed rod 11, intermediate fixed rod 12 and end fixed rods 13 are made of channel steel with a predetermined strength.

[0027] The bottom panel 2 has legs 20 at the four corners on the back side thereof, and is fixed across the ends of the fixed rod 11 and the end fixed rod 13. The legs 20 are used when stacking the assembled pallet body 1. The end fixed rods 13 have casters 21a and 21b near the legs 20, and as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the casters 21a and 21b are disposed inside the side panels 5 and 5 in bottom view. The pair of casters 21a and 21a on the front side are so-called fixed wheels whose running direction is fixed, and the pair of casters 21b and 21b on the rear side are so-called free wheels that can rotate horizontally. The casters 21a and 21b are provided on the bottom panel 2 as necessary, and may be omitted. In the case where they are omitted, the pallet body 1 is set on a pallet cart equipped with casters via the legs 20, for example, and is transported.

[0028] A locking mechanism 23 as shown in Fig. 4 is provided at the rear end of the intermediate fixed rod 12. This locking mechanism 23 has a down pedal 24 and an up pedal 25, and when the down pedal 24 is depressed, a locking bar 26 descends via a link mechanism 27 and comes into contact with the ground surface G, thereby moving the rear casters 21b, 21b away from the ground surface G, thereby preventing the movement of the pallet body 1. Furthermore, when the up pedal 25 is depressed in this state, the locking bar 26 moves away from the ground surface G via the link mechanism 27, and the casters 21b, 21b come into contact with the ground surface G, thereby releasing the locked state by the locking mechanism 23.

[0029] The lower ends of the front panel 3 and the rear panel 4 are rotatably connected to connecting panel portions 6, 6 of the bottom panel 2 via coil-shaped connectors 30. The lower ends of the side panels 5, 5 are rotatably connected to the side ends of the bottom panel 2 by coil-shaped connectors 31. Each of the side panels 5, 5 is composed of divided panels 5a, 5b divided into two at approximately the center in the vertical direction, and the divided panels 5a and 5b are rotatably connected to each other via coil-shaped connectors 32.

[0030] As shown in Figures 1 and 2, stoppers 40 are provided at both corners located at the top of each of the divided panels 5a, 5b, and as shown in Figure 5, a front gate-shaped guide 41 is fixed to the outer surface of each of the divided panels 5a, 5b, and a lever 42 is slidably attached to the guide 41. The upper end of each hanging part 43 of the guide 41 is formed with protrusions 44 that protrude outward. The lever 42 is made up of a shaft 45, both ends of which are slidably inserted into the protrusions 44 of the guide 41, and a generally U-shaped handle 46 provided at the approximate center of the shaft 45. A hook 47 is fixed to a predetermined position on the rear panel 4 so that its tip protrudes outward from the rear panel 4, and when the lever 42 of the stopper 40 is slid outward, the tip of its shaft 45 is inserted into the tip of the hook 47, and the side panels 5, 5 and the rear panel 4 are connected and fixed in an upright state. A hook 47 having a similar structure to the hook 47 is also provided on the front panel 3, and in the same manner, the side panels 5, 5 and the front panel 3 are connected and fixed in an upright state. As a result, the pallet body 1 has a box-like shape with an open top.

[0031] A pair of mounting fixtures 50, 50 are provided at a predetermined interval in the width direction on the rear side of the fixed rod 11. As shown in Fig. 6, the mounting fixture 50 includes a fixing fixture 51 having a pair of mounting pieces 53, 53 on the front part and having a roughly U-shaped configuration in a plan view, the rear part of which is fixed to the side surface of the fixed rod 11, and a cylindrical body 52 inserted between the mounting pieces 53, 53 of the fixing fixture 51.

[0032] The handle 60 is a pipe material formed into a gate shape, and is composed of a gripping portion 71 arranged in the width direction of the rear panel 4 and support portions 72, 72 formed at both ends thereof by bending downward. The support portions 72, 72 are provided with fixed portions 61 formed at both lower ends and a rotating portion 62 rotatably connected to the upper portion of the fixed portion 61, as shown in FIG. 6, and pipe-shaped sleeves 68, 68 are slidably provided. The upper portion of the rotating portion 62 is formed so as to be inclined rearward toward the upper side as shown in FIG. 1. As shown in FIG. 6, the fixed portion 61 is inserted into the cylindrical body 52 of the mounting tool 50 so as to be able to move up and down, and is attached to the cylindrical body 52 via a fastener 70 slidably inserted into a pair of long holes 69, 69 formed in the fixed portion 61 in an axially opposed manner. A connecting plate 64 is protruded from the center of the lower end of the rotating portion 62. A pair of axially opposing notches 65, 65 are formed at the upper end of the fixed portion 61, and a connecting plate 64 of the rotating portion 62 is inserted into the notches 65, 65 and is connected to the fixed portion 61 in a freely rotatable manner via a connecting pin 66.

[0033] 1, the handle 60 is fixed to a desired position on the rear panel 4 by a fixing bracket 67 provided on the rotating portion 62, and the handle 60 is configured to rotate integrally with the rear panel 4. Since the fixing portion 61 of the handle 60 can be raised and lowered via the long hole 69 and the fastener 70, when fixing the fixing bracket 67 to the rear panel 4, the handle 60 can be raised and lowered as appropriate to fix the fixing bracket 67 to a desired position on the rear panel 4. In this way, the mounting position of the handle 60 can be arbitrarily changed depending on, for example, the size of the pallet body 1 or the worker, and therefore, ease of use is excellent.

[0034] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the sleeves 68, 68 are usually arranged at positions where the connection between the fixed part 61 and the rotating part 62 is covered, and the rotation of the handle 60 is reliably restricted, so that the rear panel 4 can be prevented from being folded by inadvertent rotation of the handle 60. Therefore, the rear panel 4 is maintained in an upright state, so that the assembly work of the pallet body 1, folding work, and article transportation work can be easily and safely performed. On the other hand, when folding the rear panel 4 together with the handle 60, the sleeves 68, 68 are moved upward along the rotating part 62 to release the covering state of the connection by the sleeves 68, 68, and in this state, the handle 60 is rotated to fold the rear panel 4. The mesh pallet P according to this embodiment is configured as described above, and since the overall configuration is extremely simple, it can be manufactured easily and inexpensively.

[0035] Next, a case where the mesh pallet P is used to transport an article will be described.

[0036] Figure 7 shows the mesh pallet P in a folded state when not in use, with both side panels 5, 5 folded onto the bottom panel 2, with the front panel 3 on top of those, and then the rear panel 4 folded with the sleeves 68, 68 of the handle 60 slid towards the rotating part 62, and the mesh pallet P is normally stored and managed in this state.

[0037] When assembling this, first, when the gripping portion 71 of the handle 60 is gripped and rotated backward, the rotating portion 62 of the handle 60 and the rear panel 4 rotate together because they are fixed via the fixing metal fittings 67. By this rotating action of the two, the fixed portion 61 of the handle 60 receives a downward pressing force via the rotating portion 62, as shown in FIG. 8, so that the fixed portion 61 descends inside the cylindrical body 52 of the mounting tool 50. Then, with the rear panel 4 standing up, the sleeves 68, 68 are slid downward to cover the connection portion between the fixed portion 61 of the handle 60 and the rotating portion 62. After that, the both side panels 5, 5 and the front panel 3 are mutually connected to assemble the pallet body 1. That is, after rotating the front panel 3 forward, one of the side panels 5 is rotated sideways, and while gripping the handle portion 46 of the stopper 40 provided on the upper divided panel 5a of the side panel 5, the lever 42 is slid toward the rear panel 4 as shown in FIG. 5, and the shaft portion 45 of the stopper 40 is inserted into the tip portion of the hook 47 provided on the rear panel 4 and fixed. By operating the stopper in the same manner, the lower divided panel 5b is fixed to the rear panel 4. As a result, the divided panels 5a, 5b of the side panel 5 are connected to the rear panel 4. Thereafter, the other side panel 5 is connected to the rear panel 4, and the both side panels 5, 5 are connected to the front panel 3 in the same manner, and the box-shaped pallet body 1 with an open top can be easily assembled as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3.

[0038] On the other hand, when folding the pallet body 1 in the assembled state, as shown in FIG. 7, the mutual fixing state of the panels by the stopper 40 is first released, and the both side panels 5, 5 and the front panel 3 are folded onto the bottom panel 2. After that, the sleeve covering the connection part between the fixed part 61 and the rotating part 62 of the handle 60 is slid upward. Then, when the grip part 71 of the handle 60 is gripped and rotated forward, the handle 60 and the rear panel 4 rotate together. By this rotational movement of both, the fixed part 61 of the handle 60 receives an upward pulling force from the rotating part 62, and the fixed part 61 rises from the cylindrical body 52 of the mounting tool 50, so that the entire handle 60 rises. As a result, the existence of the bundle 60 does not hinder the folding of the rear panel 4, and it becomes possible to fold the rear panel 4 onto the front panel 3 without tilting it as much as possible. In this case, since both front and rear ends of the bottom panel 2 are formed by connecting panel parts 6, 6 having a desired height, a folding space for the side panels 5, 5 is secured between the connecting panel parts 6, 6. This makes it possible to arrange the side end of one of the side panels 5, 5 that is folded upward near the upper end of the connecting panel parts 6, 6, and the front panel 3 and rear panel 4 can be folded in a substantially horizontal state. As a result, a plurality of the mesh pallets P can be stacked safely in a stable state, allowing them to be stored and managed in a small space.

[0039] Since the mesh pallet P has casters 21, the mesh pallets P are stacked vertically via the casters 21 as shown in Fig. 9. Therefore, a space is formed between the bottom panel 2 of the upper mesh pallet P and the rear panel 4 of the lower mesh pallet P, and the handle 60 of the lower mesh pallet P is accommodated in this space, so that a plurality of the mesh pallets P can be stacked stably and safely. In addition, if the mesh pallet P does not have the casters 21, the shape of the handle 60 can be determined taking into consideration the height of the legs 20 provided on the bottom panel 2, and the same effect as described above can be obtained.

[0040] Next, the article (not shown) to be transported is stored in the pallet body 1, and at that time, the locking mechanism 23 is used as necessary. That is, the down pedal 24 of the locking mechanism 23 is stepped on to bring the locking bar 26 into contact with the ground surface G, and the rear casters 21b, 21b are moved away from the ground surface G to prevent the movement of the pallet body 1. This facilitates the storage and removal of the article.

[0041] In this state, depending on the shape of the article to be stored, the article is stored in the pallet body 1 in this assembled state or with the fixed state of the front panel 3 and the rear panel 4 by the stopper 40 released as appropriate and the entire side panel 5 or only the upper divided panel 5a rotated outward to open. In the latter case, after storing the article, the side panel 5 is fixed and connected to the front panel 3 and the rear panel 4 again by the stopper 40. Then, the up pedal 25 of the locking mechanism 23 is stepped on to move the locking rod 26 away from the ground surface G and to bring the casters 21b, 21b into contact with the ground surface G. This releases the locking state by the locking mechanism 23 and allows the pallet body 1 to move.

[0042] Thereafter, when the worker presses the handle 60 forward while gripping the upper part of the rotating part 62, the pallet body 1 travels forward via the casters 21a, 21b, and the article stored in the pallet body 1 can be transported to the desired location. In this case, the pressure applied to the handle 60 by the worker is transmitted to the casters 21a, 21b via the reinforcing fixed rod 11 and the bottom panel 2 arranged at the bottom of the pallet body 1, so that the article can be transported safely in a well-balanced and stable state by simple handle operation without being affected by the type of article stored in the pallet body 1 or the storage form.

[0043] Furthermore, as described above, the handle 60 is fixed to a fixed rod 11 provided on the bottom panel 2 for reinforcement, with a predetermined strength ensured, so that operation of the handle does not cause inadvertent deformation of the panels that make up the pallet body 1, and good safety is ensured.

[0044] In the above embodiment, both the front and rear ends of the bottom panel 2 are formed by upward connecting panel portions 6, 6 having the desired height, but such connecting panel portions 6, 6 do not necessarily need to be provided, and the bottom panel 2 can also be formed on an approximately flat surface.

[0045] Furthermore, the present invention is in no way limited to the above-described embodiment, and the specific configuration of each part, such as the casters 21, mounting fixtures 50 and handle 60, as well as the folding and assembly procedures of the panels 3, 4 and 5, can be freely designed and modified within the scope intended by the present invention.
