Abstract
A pallet bag for a palletized load includes a body portion having at least one panel, at least one restraining or tightening device, at least one fastening device, at least one identification device and at least one tamper-proof evident security device, so that the pallet bag provides covering for a palletized load in order to protect the contents of the load from exposure to external elements or to reduce the risk of tampering of the palletized load.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to covering systems used in the transportation of goods, and in particular, to a pallet bag which provides covering for a palletized load in order to protect the contents of the load from exposure to external elements and/or reduce the risk of tampering of the palletized load.
- While the invention may be applied to alternate methods and devices for transporting goods, for convenience sake it shall be described herein in terms of a pallet bag for palletized goods.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- Conventionally, in order to transport goods in bulk lots to a particular destination, the goods are loaded on shipping pallets which are specifically designed to enable machinery to move the entire pallet load so that it can be loaded and unloaded from a transport means such as a truck, ship, airplane or the like in a simple and efficient manner. The pallet load is generally shrink-wrapped and secured to the pallet load using nylon strapping to ensure that the pallet load remains in tact. The disadvantage with this current method is that the goods can easily be tampered with as a result of intentional, and or accidental, damage to the shrink wrap material by a sharp object. In addition, the shrink wrap material fails to provide suitable protection for the palletised load from external elements such as the weather, dust or rodents or the like.
- Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to overcome or substantially ameliorate the disadvantages of the prior art by providing a pallet bag which provides covering for a palletized load in order to protect the contents of the load from exposure to external elements and/or reduce the risk of tampering of the palletised load.
- The present invention provides a pallet bag for a palletized load including:
- a body portion comprising at least one panel;
- at least one restraining and/or tightening means;
- at least one fastening means;
- at least one identification means; and
- at least one tamper-proof evident security means whereby the pallet bag provides covering for a palletized load in order to protect the contents of the load from exposure to external elements and/or reduce the risk of tampering of the palletized load.
- The body portion preferably comprises five panels including a top panel, a front panel, a right and left side panel and a back panel. Each panel is preferably adapted to be secured to each adjacent panel by a standard cohesive water-resistant seam or join achieved via a heat sealing process.
- It is preferred that the pallet bag has provided a folded seam which is adapted to extend along the entire bottom edge of the body portion of the pallet bag.
- A first tightening strap(s) is preferably adapted to be positioned within or outside the folded seam while a second tightening strap(s) is preferably adapted to be provided on the body portion of one or more of the panels.
- It is preferred that the identification means is a pocket/panel made of a transparent waterproof material so that the content of the pocket/panel is visible from the outside. The pocket/panel preferably has an opening provided on one or both side edges of the pocket/panel to enable content to be inserted/removed. The content can preferably include, but not be limited to, a label providing clear identification of the pallet contents/address details for the palletized load, instructions, manifest, packing lists or any other suitable information/content relevant to the palletized load.
- It is preferred that the pallet bag has two fastening means in the form of a closure zipper. The closure zippers are preferably positioned vertically on the front panel in close proximity to the side edges of the front panel of the pallet bag to allow for easy access to the palletized load.
- A first tamper evident means is in the form of at least one security locking tab provided on the folded seam of the pallet bag. The security locking tabs are preferably provided with an eyelet at one end which is adapted to be in line with the zipper ring so that a tamper-proof/evident security tag may be applied thereto in order to lock the closure zippers in place until the pallet has been delivered to the intended recipient.
- It is preferred that two restraining straps are adapted to be secured to the front panel and two restraining straps are adapted to be secured to the back panel of the pallet bag. An upper portion of the restraining straps is preferably attached to the front panel and/or back panel of the pallet bag while the free ends of the lower portion of the restraining straps are designed to allow movement and adjustment of the restraining straps.
- It is further preferred that the restraining straps are preferably connected to each other via a securing means in the form of a fastening clip. The fastening clip preferably has provided a complimentary male and female attachment portion which allows the ends of the restraining straps to be interlaced through the fastening clip to secure the fastening clip to the straps.
- A second tamper-proof/evident security means is in the form of a tag which is adapted to secure the complimentary male and female portions of the fastening clip together.
- In order that the invention may be more readily understood we will describe by way of non-limiting example of a specific embodiment thereof.
