Abstract

The present invention relates to a transport pallet consisting of a base pallet (1) with a bottom inlay member (2) insertable snugly therein, and a cover (3), in which system the bottom inlay member (2) and the cover (3) have receptacles (14) on their facing sides for the support of objects (8), which are to be transported, arranged between them when fitted together, and the pallet individual parts (1, 2, 3) are constructed as synthetic material deep-drawn shaped parts.

Claims

1. A transport pallet comprising:

a base pallet (1), a cover (3) and a bottom inlay member (2) disposed between said base pallet (1) and said cover (3) so that a side (10) of said cover (3) faces a side (11) of said bottom inlay member (2);

said bottom inlay member (2) being snugly inserted in said base pallet (1);

said bottom inlay member side (11) and said cover side (10) including receptacle means (14) for supporting objects (8) which are being transported, the objects (8) being arranged between said bottom inlay member (2) and said cover (3); and

said base pallet (1), said bottom inlay member (2) and said cover (3) being constructed as synthetic material deep-drawn shaped parts.

2. A transport pallet according to claim 1, wherein feet (5) are provided on an underside of said base pallet (1), and receptacles (7) are provided on an upper side of said cover (3) for receiving and securely holding said feet (5).

3. A transport pallet according to claim 2, wherein said feet (5) are constructed as truncated pyramidal hollow bodies.

4. A transport pallet according to claim 2, wherein extensions (20) are provided on an underside of said bottom inlay member (2) for reception of the objects (8) which are being transported, said extensions (20) extending into said feet (5) which are constructed as hollow bodies.

5. A transport pallet according to claim 1, wherein at least one intermediate inlay member (9) is disposed between said bottom inlay member (2) and said cover (3), said receptacle means (14) also being provided on opposing sides (12, 13) of said intermediate inlay member (9) for supporting the objects (8) which are being transported, said intermediate inlay member (9) being constructed as a synthetic material deep-drawn shaped part.

6. A transport pallet according to claim 5, wherein said bottom inlay member (2) and said intermediate inlay member (9) have the same identically shaped construction.

7. A transport pallet according to claim 1, wherein said base pallet (1) includes a substantially flat bottom (4) and a border strip (6) surrounding said flat bottom (4).

8. A transport pallet according to claim 7, wherein said flat bottom (4) has a support edge (16), said support edge (16) forming an obtuse angle with said border strip (6), said bottom inlay member (2) being enclosed by said border strip (6) when said bottom inlay member (2) is seated on said support edge (16).

9. A transport pallet according to claim 8, wherein said bottom inlay member (2) includes a side wall section (18) having a predetermined configuration which is enclosed by said border strip (6) in an installed state, so that said bottom inlay member (2) is securely fixed on said base pallet (1).

10. A transport pallet according to claim 9, wherein said side wall section (18) of said bottom inlay member (2) forms a step-form transition with a support portion (17) provided on an underside of said bottom inlay member (2), said side wall section (18) forming a second obtuse angle with said support portion (17), said second obtuse angle matching said obtuse angle formed by said border strip (6) and said support edge (16) of said base pallet (1).

11. A transport pallet according to claim 1, wherein the objects (8) which are being transported are supported within said pallet by a securement arrangement.

12. A transport pallet according to claim 1, wherein the objects (8) which are being transported are secured within said pallet by a force-fit arrangement.
