Abstract:
A scaffold and method(s) for installing or removing such a scaffold that is constructed of at least two vertical frames and of at least two connecting elements that extend essentially horizontally, in each instance, includes at least one connecting element serving as a hip and/or back railing element, vertical supports having respective effective lengths essentially corresponding for example to the vertical distance of the attachment position for the hip and/or back railing element, and horizontal arms set onto one another to form transverse rungs, in each instance, of a ladder for allowing a person to climb up.
Abstract:
A scaffolding (20) comprises vertical frame elements (22), crossbeams that extend therebetween, flooring units (27) which have mounting aids (28) to be mounted on the crossbeam (21), and at least one anti-release device (40) for securing the flooring units (27) against being released. The anti-release device (40) can be removably connected to the crossbeam (21) and has a securing member (41) which corresponds to the length of the crossbeam, is to be placed on the mounting aid (28), and is fitted with at least one hook-shaped fastening element (42) that penetrates a hole (33) located in the crossbeam and partially embraces the crossbeam (21) in the anti-release state. One end of the securing member (41) is provided with a pivotable plate which is fastened by means of a hinge and is pivoted from the open position into the locking position and retained by means of a spring mechanism (60). Alternatively or additionally, the hook-shaped fastening element (42) can be made of flat steel, and the parallel lateral surfaces are placed at an adequate distance from the mounting aids (28) in the anti-release state in order to prevent a collision.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an arrangement (230) of a scaffolding component (45) having a connection head (61) and of a vertical scaffolding element (41) extending in the direction of a longitudinal axis (47). On this scaffolding element is fastened a projection (44) which extends transversely to the longitudinal axis (47) of the scaffolding element (41) away from the latter and onto which the connection head (61) is plugged. The projection (44) has an aperture (55.1) for plugging through a wedge (62). The connection head (61) has an upper head part (74) with an upper wedge opening (80) and a lower head part (75) with a lower wedge opening (81). The wedge is plugged, in a locking position (88), through the two wedge openings (80, 81) and through the aperture (55.1). Between the upper head part (74) and the lower head part (75) there is arranged a slot (67) which is open towards the front (79) and with which the connection head (61) is plugged onto the projection (44). The slot (67) is configured with a shoulder (100) of the upper head part (74) which extends downwardly from horizontal upper slot surfaces (95.1) formed in an insertion region (93.1) of the slot (67) and which is arranged above the horizontal upper boundary surface (48) of the outer projection part (97), which shoulder is bounded downwardly (115) with a horizontal shoulder slot surface (107) of the slot (67) via which the shoulder (100) is supported with its surface on the horizontal upper boundary surface (48) of the projection (44).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a scaffolding post (25) made of metal, including a tube (26) and a tubular tube connector (27) integrally molded therewith. In a transition region between the tube connector (27) and the tube (26) a stop (46) is formed, the stop being in the form of an annular post-supporting end face (50) running perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the scaffolding post (25) and circumferentially around the longitudinal axis. The slide-on area (37) of the tube (26) has a plurality of indentations (86), each extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the scaffolding post (25) and each being designed with a tube inner cross-section reduction. The indentations are arranged distributed in the circumferential direction around the longitudinal axis of the scaffolding post (25) at regular intervals or equidistant and each extends continuously for a length in the tube slide-on region (37), starting directly from a tube-supporting end face in the direction of the tube connector (27). The indentations (86) are each configured in an L-shape or T-shape with a longitudinal supporting indentation (90) and a transverse centering indentation (91). In the region of the post-supporting end face (50) the tube connector (27) includes a centering region (65) spanning a first tube connector outside diameter and further includes a supporting region (73) spanning a second tube connector outside diameter, wherein the first tube connector outside diameter is slightly larger than the second tube connector outside diameter. The tube (26) includes a substantially circular cylindrical tube portion (55), which merges in the direction of the free tube connector end directly, substantially sharp-edged via an annular edge or with a slight transitional radius, into the post-supporting surface (50).
Abstract:
The invention relates to a scaffolding component (45) with at least one connection head (61) for forming a releaseable connection with a vertical scaffolding element (41) extending in the direction of a longitudinal axis (47). On this scaffolding element is fastened a projection (44) which extends transversely to its longitudinal axis (47) and which has an aperture (55) for the insertion of a wedge (62). The connection head has an upper head part (74) with an upper wedge opening (80) and a lower head part (75) with a lower wedge opening (81), for the wedge (62) which can be inserted through the wedge openings (80, 81). Disposed between the upper head part (74) and the lower head part (75) is a slot (67) which is open towards the front and which is intended for the fitting of the connection head (61) onto the projection (44). The connection head (61) has a wedge-support body (85) with wedge-support surfaces which is arranged above the slot (67) so as to engage over the latter towards the front, for vertically supporting the wedge (62) in the region of its lower wedge end against unintended movement of the wedge (62) vertically downwardly into a blocking position. Above the wedge-support surfaces of the wedge-support body (85), the connection head (61) has a wedge-pivoting abutment (86).
Abstract:
A coating unit (20), comprising a lift-off protection (25) that is fastened in a face end region (21) of the coating unit (20) and is formed by a securing pivot lever (26), which can be manually pivoted about a pivot axis (27), which in the usage position (22) of the coating unit (20) is vertical, from an open position, in which the coating unit (20) can be placed onto a horizontal carrier (30) or lifted off therefrom, into a closed or lift-off protection position (31), and vice versa, in which the coating unit (20) is secured against lift-off from the carrier (30) when it is placed on the carrier (30). At least in the closed or lift-off protection position (31′) thereof, the securing pivot lever (26) is secured by a spring-elastic detent element (35) against accidental pivoting about the pivot axis (27) in an engagement position (29) such that pivoting of the securing pivot lever (26) about the pivot axis (27) from the closed or lift-off protection position (31) into the open position is only possible by applying an increased pivoting force. The invention also relates to a method for securing a coating unit (20) against lift-off from a carrier (30) and to a method for releasing a coating unit (20) that is secured against lift-off.
