Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a load-shift prevention band that prevents the shifting, falling, and other problems of goods on transport carts (carts) that carry and transport various goods, or on storage shelves in warehouses where goods are stored, and that allows hooks, which are fastening devices that fasten to the transport carts, storage shelves, etc., to be replaced or changed to correspond to the band body. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventionally, various loads loaded on such transport carts, storage shelves, etc. have been surrounded by band-like load-shift prevention belts (bands) attached to the transport cart or storage shelf, or draped over an open surface, in order to prevent the loads from shifting during transport or falling during storage.
[0003] For example, in the case of a dolly with integrally attached metal fittings and connecting fittings as shown in Patent Document 1, the load is surrounded by a belt for preventing the load from shifting, and the belt hook attached to the belt is fastened to the pallet dolly. The belt hook is made of a roughly J-shaped round bar and fastens to the edge of the pallet dolly. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]
[0004] [Patent Document 1] Utility Model Registration No. 3110921 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0005] Although the belt hooks shown in the cargo shift prevention fittings in Patent Document 1 are roughly J-shaped to engage with the edges of pallet trucks, they may not be able to securely engage if the edges of the pallet trucks have different shapes. Also, when this type of cargo shift prevention band is attached to the supports of a cart or basket truck that has supports erected at the four corners of the truck body to surround the load, it may not fit the square-shaped supports.
[0006] On the other hand, even if the load-shift prevention bands are stored appropriately when not in use, if they are left on the floor at the work site, they may be stepped on by forklifts moving around the workplace, and the belt hooks may be damaged.If damaged, even if the band itself is usable, the hook bolts sewn to the band body cannot be replaced, so the load-shift prevention band itself may have to be discarded.
[0007] In addition, when either a wide or narrow type of strap body is used depending on the load, transport cart, and other usage conditions, the belt hook must be of a width that corresponds to the width of the strap body. Therefore, even if belt hooks of various widths, shapes, and configurations are pre-prepared according to the type of fastening point, it can be difficult to combine belt hooks that correspond to the strap body of the width that can be applied to the load. For example, a wide hook belt that fits the fastening point cannot be connected to a narrow strap body.
[0008] The present invention was created in consideration of the various circumstances that existed in the past as described above, and aims to provide a cargo-shift prevention band that has a wide band end with a hook-and-loop fastener formed at the end of the band body that surrounds the load or is hung over the surface of the load, and has narrow auxiliary bands connected to the end of the wide band, so that various hooks of different widths that correspond to the types of fastening points at the work site can be selectively connected to the wide band end portion or the narrow auxiliary band portion, and ultimately the hooks can be detached, changed, and replaced, and the band body can be used for a long period of time. [Means for solving the problem]
[0009] In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the present invention provides a load-shift prevention band that is attached to the load support S by surrounding or draping over the load P loaded on the load support S to prevent the load P from shifting, and is characterized in that at least one end of the band main body 1 is provided with a band end 2 that is continuous with the band main body 1 and an auxiliary band 3 that is connected to this band end 2 and is narrower than the band end 2, and these band end 2 and auxiliary band 3 are provided with hook-and-loop fasteners 5 that are folded back and joined, and a hook 10 that engages the band main body 1 to the load support S is inserted into the band end 2 and auxiliary band 3 and then folded back to connect the hook 10 to the band main body 1. The hook 10 can be configured to have an insertion portion 12 of a width corresponding to the width of the band end portion 2 or the width of the auxiliary band 3. The hook 10 can be configured to be replaceable with the band end 2 or the auxiliary band 3 and can be detachable.
[0010] In the cargo collapse prevention band of the present invention configured as described above, the band end 2 and auxiliary band 3 connected to the band main body 1 are folded back and joined with a hook-and-loop fastener 5 after the hook 10 has been inserted, thereby connecting the hook 10 to the band main body 1. When the hooks 10 to be connected have different configurations and shapes corresponding to the type of load P to be loaded on the load support S such as a pallet, cart, or storage shelf, and the constituent materials of the load support S, the hooks 10 can be connected to correspond to various hooks 10 having different widths, shapes, structures, etc. by combining them with either the band end portion 2 or the auxiliary band 3 having different widths. In the flick 10 to be connected, the auxiliary band 3 and the band end 2 are inserted in order by an insertion part 12 having a width corresponding to the width of the band end 2 and the auxiliary band 3, respectively, and are firmly connected by joining a hook-and-loop fastener 5 after folding back at either of these parts. In addition, after folding, the hook and loop fastener 5 can be released or peeled off to remove the hook 10 from the band body 1 and replace it with another hook 10, which can deal with damage or breakage of the hook 10 itself caused by some circumstances, and allows the band body 1 to be used easily for a long period of time. [Effects of the Invention]
[0011] Since the present invention is configured as described above, it is possible to prevent the collapse, fall, and other problems of the load P loaded on the loading support S, such as a transport cart for loading and transporting various products or a storage shelf for storing products, and even when the width, shape, etc. of the hooks 10 to be engaged with the loading support S are different, it is possible to prevent the load P from collapsing, falling, and other problems. through the band end 2 or auxiliary band 3 It can be connected to the band body 1 and can also be replaced or changed, further increasing the versatility of the cargo collapse prevention band itself.
[0012] That is, in the present invention, at least one end of the band body 1 that is attached to the loading support S by surrounding or draping over the load P has a band end 2 and an auxiliary band 3 that is narrower than the band end 2 arranged in sequence, and these band end 2 and auxiliary band 3 are provided with hook-and-loop fasteners 5 that are folded back and joined, and the hook 10 that fastens the band body 1 to the loading support S is inserted into the band end 2 and auxiliary band 3, and then folded back to connect the hook 10 to the band body 1. This makes it possible to select various hooks 10 with different widths, for example. Band end 2 or auxiliary band 3 It is possible to connect it to the hook 10, fold it over and join it with the hook-and-loop fastener 5 or peel it off, and thereby replace or reattach the hook 10.
[0013] Furthermore, the hook 10 is provided with an insertion portion 12 of a width corresponding to either the width of the band end portion 2 or the width of the auxiliary band 3, and can be connected to the band body 1 by either the band end portion 2 or the auxiliary band 3 corresponding to the width of this insertion portion 12, and by combining these, it is possible to surround and bind various load supporting bodies S, loads P, etc., and to prevent them from falling by hanging them over, thereby preventing loads from falling.
[0014] The hook 10 is replaceable with the band end 2 or the auxiliary band 3 and is detachable, so that even if it is trampled on and damaged by a forklift or the like used in a work site, for example, only the hook 10 can be easily replaced and reattached, and the band body 1 can be used for a long period without being discarded unnecessarily, contributing to resource saving.

[Figure 12] FIG. 12 is an exploded perspective view of the main part of the embodiment shown in FIG. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0017] An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. Reference numeral 1 shown in the drawings denotes a band body in a load-shift prevention band according to the present invention, which has a predetermined length and width sufficient to surround or drape over a load P such as various commodities loaded on a load support S, such as a pallet, cart, basket dolly, hand truck, or rack such as a storage shelf. At least one end of the band body 1 has a wide band end 2 and a narrow auxiliary band 3 connected thereto, and these wide band end 2 and narrow auxiliary band 3 are folded back so that their facing surfaces are provided with hook-and-loop fasteners 5 for joining the folded back surfaces together.
[0018] The length of the band body 1 itself can be adjusted to correspond to the surrounding length or the spanning length when it is used to surround the load P or to drape it over the front of the load P. For example, the band body 1 can be folded over and attached to a connecting ring 4 provided at an appropriate position (see Figures 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11), or the end of the band body 1 can be folded over and attached to a predetermined position on the load support S, allowing the fold length to be adjusted (see Figures 3, 5, and 11).
[0019] In addition, as shown in the drawings, the band end portion 2 and the auxiliary band 3 may be connected to the band main body 1 by, for example, inserting them into the connecting ring 4, folding them back and sewing them, or they may be formed integrally with the band main body 1. In some cases, the band end portion 2 and the auxiliary band 3 may be provided at each end of the band main body 1 so that hooks 10, which will be described later, are provided at both ends of the band main body 1 (see Figures 1, 7 and 9).
[0020] The band end 2 and auxiliary band 3 are connected to hooks 10 for fastening the band body 1, which surrounds or hangs over the front of the load P, to the load support S, and the band end 2 and auxiliary band 3, which are inserted through the hooks 10, are folded back and supported and fixed by the hook-and-loop fasteners 5 that face each other when folded back. This support and fixation is achieved by folding back the auxiliary band 3 or band end 2, so that the band end 2 itself faces and is joined, or the auxiliary band 3 itself faces and is further faced and joined to the band end 2.
[0021] In addition, the hook-and-loop fastener 5 has male and female protrusions and engaging ends arranged on the opposing ends of the band end 2 and the auxiliary band 3, allowing the band end 2 and the auxiliary band 3 to be folded back and joined at any position.
[0022] In the illustration, the band body 1 and the band end 2 are formed to have the same width, but the band body 1 and the band end 2 may be formed separately, for example, with the width of the band body 1 being an appropriate number times the width of the band end 2. In other words, there is no particular relationship between the widths of the band body 1 and the band end 2.
[0023] Furthermore, the difference in width between the band end portion 2 and the auxiliary band 3 means that the band end portion 2 is wider than the auxiliary band 3, and in that sense the band end portion 2 is referred to as wide and the auxiliary band 3 as narrow, and specifically, for example, the band end portion 2 has a width of 40 to 60 mm, preferably 50 mm, and the auxiliary band 3 has a width of 20 to 30 mm, preferably 25 mm, but is not limited to these.The width of the hook 10 that can be attached to the band end portion 2 and auxiliary band 3 is also compatible by being 20 to 60 mm.
[0024] The auxiliary band 3 is connected to the band end 2 by being sewn to it. The band end 2 can be made of, for example, a stretchable material, and the hook-and-loop fastener 5 allows the band end 2 to be folded back or to maintain a certain range of stretchability even after being joined to the auxiliary band 3, allowing it to stretch within the range in which the joined state is maintained.
[0025] Since the band end 2 is stretchable, when the band end 2 is used by being folded back and connected to the connecting ring 4, for example, this stretching action can be used to easily release and release the band from the connecting ring 4 even when it is tightly fastened to a load P or the like, making the unpacking work smoother.
[0026] The hooks 10 are connected to the band end portions 2 and auxiliary bands 3, and are formed to have a wide or narrow width that matches the width of the band end portions 2 and auxiliary bands 3. The hooks 10 have a shape and structure that corresponds to the locking portion of the load support S on which various commodities and other loads P are loaded. The band end portions 2 and auxiliary bands 3 are joined in a folded shape with the hook 10 sandwiched between them, and the hook 10 is detached from the band body 1 by peeling the bond; various different hooks 10 can be selectively combined with the band body 1 by joining the band end portions 2 and auxiliary bands 3 together and detaching them by peeling them apart.
[0027] 1 and 2, the hook 10 has a width equal to the width of the band end 2, has a locking portion 11 formed in a roughly U-shape when viewed from the side, and has a wide hole-like insertion portion 12 through which the band end 2 is inserted. This hook 10 corresponds to the cross-sectional shape of the locking portion of a pallet (S) on which a load P is loaded, for example, and binds the pallet (S)-shaped load P to the pallet (S) by wrapping it around it.
[0028] 3 and 4, the hook 10 has the same width as the auxiliary band 3, has a locking portion 11 formed in a substantially square U-shape when viewed from the side, and has a narrow hole-like insertion portion 12 through which the auxiliary band 3 is inserted. This hook 10 is adapted to be locked to the support pillars in order to surround a load P placed on a so-called six-wheel cart (S), for example, which has six wheels and supports with square cross-sections erected around the perimeter.
[0029] 5 and 6, the hook 10 has the same width as the auxiliary band 3, has a locking portion 11 formed in a substantially U-shape when viewed from the side, and has a narrow hole-like insertion portion 12 through which the auxiliary band 3 is inserted. This hook 10 is adapted to be locked to the support posts of a surrounding frame in order to surround a load P loaded on a so-called foldable cart (S), which has, for example, four wheels and foldable surrounding frame portions arranged on the left and right sides and back.
[0030] 7 and 8, the hook 10 is made up of an L-shaped locking portion 11 and a loop-shaped insertion portion 12 having the same width as the band end 2, which are formed into a roughly six-shaped configuration when viewed from the side by bending a wire of an appropriate diameter. This hook 10 can be locked into locking holes arranged in the support posts of a storage shelf (S) configured in multiple tiers, for example, and by hanging the band body 1 across, for example, the front opening face of the storage shelf (S), it is possible to prevent various loads P on the storage shelf (S) from falling.
[0031] 9 and 10, the hook 10 is made by bending a wire rod of an appropriate diameter into a rectangular loop of parallel lines, and is provided with a locking portion 11 formed by bending it in a U-shape when viewed from above with a width equal to that of the band end 2, and an insertion portion 12 formed by bending one end of the locking portion 11 in a U-shape when viewed from the side. This hook 10 is designed to prevent, for example, the falling of loads P stored on the storage shelf (S) shown in Fig. 7, and the locking portion 11 can be locked onto the rectangular support post of the storage shelf (S).
[0032] 11 and 12, the hook 10 is formed by bending a wire rod of an appropriate diameter into a double folded linear shape, and has a locking portion 11 that is formed in a substantially J-shape when viewed from the side, and a loop-shaped insertion portion 12, for example, triangular, that has the same width as the width of the auxiliary band 3. In this hook 10, for example, the auxiliary band 3 is inserted into the insertion portion 12 to connect to the band body 1, and the hook 11 of the hook 10 is wound around the mobile cart (S) carrying the load P so as to bind the mobile cart together with the mobile cart in the vertical direction, and the hook 11 is adapted to lock onto the mobile cart (S).
