AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing pallet rack guard devices for overhang-type pallet racks and continuous pallet racks face challenges in efficiently connecting fall prevention belts due to cumbersome attachment processes and excessive load on single pin components, particularly in confined spaces.

Method used

A linked pallet rack guard device with a belt connector featuring a pair of upper and lower engaging pins on each support column, allowing separate connection of two belts, positioned away from the front of the support column using a mounting fitting and hanging fitting configuration.

Benefits of technology

Facilitates easy engagement and disengagement of belts, reduces obstruction during loading, and provides sufficient strength to prevent cargo from falling, while maintaining a compact design that does not protrude from the support column.

Abstract

To enable two belts to be separately coupled to a pair of upper and lower engagement pins of a belt coupler.SOLUTION: A continuation-shaped pallet rack guard device includes belt couplers A having engagement pins 5 fixed to upper and lower parts of each pillar 4 of a continuation-shaped pallet rack 3 so that a belt B is stretched between the engagement pin 5 of the belt coupler A on the upper part of one pillar 4 and the engagement pin 5 of the belt coupler A on the lower part of the pillar 4 adjacent thereto, the upper / lower belt couplers A each comprising an attachment metal fitting 7 that has a main wall 7a parallel to a front face of the pillar 4, a pair of upper and lower engagement pins 5 that are planted in a front face of the main wall 7a of the attachment metal fitting 7, and a hang metal fitting 8 that is firmly fixed on a back face of the main wall 7a of the attachment metal fitting 7 and firmly fixed on the front face of the pillar 4, so as to arrange the main wall 7a of the attachment metal fitting 7 spaced from the front face of the pillar 4.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
