Insert ring for a pallet box and pallet box

Abstract

An insert ring for a pallet box. An insert ring for a pallet box, in particular a wire mesh box, with four side walls, wherein at least one side wall has holding means for a flexible compartment arrangement. At least two opposite side walls are designed as plastics surface parts produced in a twinsheet process, and that the two remaining side walls are formed at least in sections by dimensionally stable transverse struts which are connected to the plastics surface parts.

1 . An insert ring for a pallet box, in particular a wire mesh box, with four side walls, wherein at least one side wall has holding means for a flexible compartment arrangement, wherein at least two opposite side walls are designed as plastics surface parts produced in a twinsheet process, and wherein the two remaining side walls are formed at least in sections by dimensionally stable transverse struts which are connected to the plastics surface parts. 
     
     
         2 . The insert ring as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the plastics surface parts are provided with bending regions running edgeways, in order to enable the insert ring to be folded up and unfolded. 
     
     
         3 . The insert ring as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein at least one of the plastics surface parts is provided with a folding portion which is connected to the plastics surface part by means of a film hinge running transversely. 
     
     
         4 . The insert ring as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein a bending region running edgeways is configured in such a manner that, when the folding portion is folded downward, bendability of the bending region is blocked. 
     
     
         5 . The insert ring as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein latching means which can be operated and can be released without a tool are provided, the latching means securing the bending regions in the erected functional position of the insert ring. 
     
     
         6 . The insert ring as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the transverse struts are embedded in groove-like recesses in wall portions of the plastics surface parts and are fixed by means of fastening elements. 
     
     
         7 . The insert ring as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the transverse struts are provided with the holding means for the flexible compartment arrangement. 
     
     
         8 . The insert ring as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the bending regions running edgeways at corner regions of the insert ring each have two bending lines which run spaced apart in parallel and in between bound a supporting back which, in the folded-up state of the insert ring, defines a clearance between corresponding wall portions of the plastics surface parts. 
     
     
         9 . The insert ring as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the bending regions or bending lines are formed by film hinges which are flanked on the inside by mitered edge surfaces of the plastics surface parts, wherein in particular miter angles of 45° are provided. 
     
     
         10 . A pallet box with standard dimensions of a wire mesh box, and with an insert ring as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the insert ring is dimensioned in such a manner that it can be inserted into the pallet box and is arranged upright in a precisely fitting manner in an inner region of the pallet box. 
     
     
         11 . The pallet box as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the insert ring is of foldable design and, in the folded-up state, is dimensioned in such a manner that the insert ring is accommodated upright or horizontally in the pallet box. 
     
     
         12 . The pallet box as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein a plurality of insert rings can be transported in the folded-up state in the pallet box.
