[0001] STACKING TRAY WITH SLOTS

[0002] Technical Field

[0003] The subject matter of this invention relates to a stacking tray with slots that saves space without the products coming into contact with each other during the storage of the products to be provided logistics in the facilities and positioning them on top of each other during the shipment phase. The inventive stacking tray with slots can be used during the storage and shipment of products belonging to different sectors such as milk and dairy products, flowers and wheels.

[0004] Prior art

[0005] Nowadays, especially in milk and dairy production facilities, fermented milk is transported in plastic crates in containers. The fermentation of the products going to the fermentation room and then resting in the resting room takes about two hours each for the fermentation and resting processes due to the airtightness of the plastic crates used in the known applications of the technique. In addition, when the existing crates are stacked on top of each other during the storage phase, these crates cannot be positioned on top of each other because the containers of milk and milk product touch each other. As a result, the crates occupy a large area in the storage area and a limited number of products can be stored.

[0006] Similarly, in the current technique, during the transportation stage, milk and dairy product containers that come into contact and / or rest on the plastic crate bottoms on vehicles are subject to vibrations, causing the product to become moist and the form to be distorted due to the shaking.

[0007] After the products are unloaded, plastic transport crates in their known state are returded to production facilities eith vehicle of the same volume, where they are stored in areas requiring ample space within these facilities. Since these crates are not assembled, dissassembled or recyclable, they require large areas for transportation and storage even when they are not used for transportation. In addition, crates that are used for transportation of goods, after returning to the facilities, they have to be submitted to disinfection process, especially if they carry food products. This disinfection process, creates an extra cost to the manufacturing company and also creates waste liquid which causes damage to the environment.

[0008] In the known techniques, especially when sending flowers to foreign countries, due to their different sizes, they are also placed on metal shelves for transportation and / or stacking pans / crates. This is due to the fact that the pans / crates can not be stacked on top of each other. However, in this case, metal shelves add extra weight. The weight factor is of greater importance, especially in transport vehicles with transportation limits such as aircrafts. Less products are exported on a single plane due to pans / crates that cannot be transported without a metal shelf.

[0009] The current technique is used to transport a single type of product. This situation also limits the manufacturing company of the transportation crate. It cannot provide lean production in the production line by having to produce a different transport crate for each sector. It cannot ensure lean production in the production line by having to produce a different transport crate for each sector.

[0010] The Aim of the Invention

[0011] The inventive stacking tray with slots aims to solve technical problems existing in the present art. Thanks to the open side surfaces of the stacking tray with slots, the time spent in the fermentation and resting rooms of milk and derivative milk products is reduced by a minimum of fifteen minutes. This is advantageous in terms of production process time, energy consumption and increasing the total number of products produced in a day.

[0012] Due to its structure, the slotted stacking tray holds the container of the product to be transported by holding it by its body or lid, compressing it and suspending it and providing a suspension function. In this way, problems such as watering and deterioration are prevented, especially if the product being transported is milk and derivative milk products. The stacking tray with slot can be produced from paper / cardboard derivative materials. In this way, the stacking tray with slots can be recycled after the transportation process is over. If it is suitable for reuse, no fumigation, heat treatment, disinfection process, etc. is required when it is sent back to the production facility due to its antibacterial properties.

[0013] The stacking tray with slots subject to the invention is produced in a form suitable for assembly and disassembly regardless of the material from which it is produced, thus saving space during storage when not in use. Since the legs of the stacking tray with slots can be easily removed from the body, folded and disassembled, space is saved in the production facility and / or during transportation by vehicle during storage without being used.

[0014] In addition to all these, the leg lengths of the stacking tray with slots are of different lengths above and below the body and the side parts are hollow, allowing the transportation of products belonging to different sectors such as milk and dairy products, flowers, wheels. The difference in length between the legs can be utilized by positioning the products from the top or inverted and positioned from the bottom. In case the stacking tray with slots has an assembled - disassembled feature, the lengths above and below the body can be adjusted depending on preference. In this way, it can become suitable for the product to be transported.

[0019] The elements in the figures above are numbered as follows and will be used throughout the rest of the description :

[0020] 1. Tray

[0021] 2. Leg

[0022] 3. Slot

[0023] 4. Support Point

[0024] 5. Support Slot

[0025] The stacking tray with slots subject matter of the invention has a structure that can carry products belonging to many different sectors such as milk and dairy products, flowers and rims, and its sample representations are shown in Figure - 1, Figure - 2 and Figure - 3. An example of a stacking tray with slots with fixed legs is shown in Figure 1, with foldable legs in Figure 2 and with disassembled legs in Figure 3. The main elements of the slot stacker tray are tray(l), leg(2), slot(3), support point(4) and support slot(5). The legs(2) may be located on the corner, edge and / or surface of said tray(l) so as to ensure the center of gravity of the tray(l). In case the center of gravity of the tray(l) is provided, one leg(2) may also be provided. In case there is more than one of said legs(2), there is no structure and / or element that does not connect said legs(2) with each other. The legs(2) are in any case directly connected to the tray(l). When it is desired to increase the stability of the stacking tray with slots, wefts can be used on the leg(s)(2). However, the wefts do not provide a connection between the feet(2). The wefts form a bridge between the leg(2) and the tray(l).

[0026] The legs(2) can be either only on the bottom surface of the tray(l) or both on the bottom surface and the top surface of the tray(l). In this way, the stacking tray with slot can be used in both directions. Whether the bottom surface or the top surface of the tray(l) is brought to the top depends on the product to be transported. For the transportation of products such as flowers, the long part of the legs(2) is brought up by using the reverse side of the tray(l). For scratching products such as yogurt containers, the short part of the feet(2) is brought up by using the flat side of the tray (1) as it is necessary to keep a distance at the bottom in order to prioritize shaking from the floor. In addition, yogurt container-type products can also be transported in the stacking tray with slots without having a leg(2) on the upper surface of the tray(l) for transporting and / or stacking yogurt container- type products.

[0027] In the stacking tray with slots, slots (3) are formed on the surface of the tray (1) for the transportation of the products. The number of slots (3) can be adjusted according to the size of the tray (1). There can be one slot(3) or more than one slot(3) on the tray(l). The form of the slots(3) can be in the form of a hole or a cavity. This situation varies depending on the characteristics of the product to be transported in the stacking tray with slots. In order for the stacking tray with slot to be stably stacked on top of each other, there is a support point(4) at one end and a support slot(5) at the other end of the leg(2). The support point (4) is in the form of a protrusion at the end of the leg(2) and is integral with the said leg (2). The support slot(5) is formed at the other end of the leg(2) in the form of a groove, which acts as a female part to the support point(4). The support slots(5) can be formed on the ends of the feet(2) or on the surface of the tray(l). Whether the support slots(5) are on the feet(2) or on the tray(l) varies according to the characteristics of the product to be transported and / or stacked.

[0028] The stacking tray with slots defined above is made of plastic, paper / cardboard derivative and paper / cardboard derivative material, laminated by applying dextrin and / or starch derivative natural adhesives between the layers in the lamination process and produced by shock pressing process in such a way that it does not contain any gaps where oxygen can enter and can be produced from wedges and plates with a thickness of at least 5 mm.
