A truss frame for a bridge and/or support includes two elongated, parallel longitudinally-extending post pipes having an outer circumference; two parallel crossbars extending perpendicularly to the post pipes; and a length-adjustable elongated diagonal element. The parts are hingedly and detachably bolted to one other. Two parallel connecting plates secured near each post pipe end extend away from one another on a common, imaginary plane containing the post pipe and crossbar longitudinal axes. Each crossbar and diagonal element has opposite ends hingedly and detachably bolted to a connecting plate. At least two rosettes are welded to each post pipe at a distance from one another corresponding to an integer multiple of a module scaffold modular size. A connecting body is welded to the connecting plate near at least two post pipe ends associated with the same crossbar and surrounds the respective post pipe outer circumference.

A scaffolding coupler intended for fixed attachment to the ends of a ledger of a scaffolding system. The scaffolding coupler comprises a foot and a hook which is integrally connected with the foot. The hook has a radial inside contour which is substantially circular segmental. The scaffolding coupler has at least one supporting surface which is formed by the foot and the hook and which, with the scaffolding coupler connected to a standard, rests on a supporting projection of the respective standard. The scaffolding coupler further comprises a pin which is slideably connected to the hook. The pin is configured as a bent pin, having a substantially circular segmental inside contour, which, in use, abuts directly against a pipe wall of a standard to be coupled to the first ledger or a ledger. The bent pin has a substantially circular segmental outside contour which abuts against the substantially circular segmental inside contour of the hook.

A cup lock connection system for scaffold equipment advantageously has a locating arrangement for aligning ledgers, braces and other components on the cup lock at predetermined angular positions relative to the scaffold upright. The connecting ledgers, braces and other components preferably have a connecting head receivable on the cup lock connection in one of two orientations. In one orientation the aligning feature is active. In the second orientation the connection can be made without using the alignment functionality.

A rapid release and rapid install latching member for use with ladder cages to couple the cage rings is provided wherein the latching members are capable of retaining the cage ring connecting members thereon without the use of external fasteners. The latching members are designed such that they may be removed from or installed on the ladder cage while the ladder cage is installed at the work site or otherwise for quick and easy repair or replacement. An exemplary ladder cage contains a plurality of ring members having a plurality of latching members interspaced around the circumference thereof, with adjacent ring members being coupled to each other through the interaction of cage ring connecting members with the latching members.

A formwork system for a wall element, comprising at least one formwork panel, at least one connection component, and at least one frame section, wherein the connection component comprises at least one frame interface, which is designed to be releasably connected to a frame section, and at least one formwork interface, which is designed to be releasably connected to the formwork panel. The at least one connection component is connected here with its frame interface to the frame section, and the connection component is connected with its formwork interface to the at least one formwork panel. The connection between the connection component and the formwork panel and/or the connection between the connection component and the frame section is designed to be releasable when the system is constructed, and the frame section can be separated from the formwork panel.

A formwork system for a wall element, comprising at least one formwork panel, at least one connection component, and at least one frame section, wherein the connection component comprises at least one frame interface, which is designed to be releasably connected to a frame section, and at least one formwork interface, which is designed to be releasably connected to the formwork panel. The at least one connection component is connected here with its frame interface to the frame section, and the connection component is connected with its formwork interface to the at least one formwork panel. When the system is constructed, the frame section supports and positions the formwork panel, and the system can be used in a free-standing manner. A method for producing a wall element using such a system.

A scaffold cross-bar of metal with a round-tube carrier profile of steel includes a round tube and has an outside diameter, and a U-shaped reinforcing profile of steel sheet. The U-shaped reinforcing profile has a base profile and two parallel profile legs which extend away from the base profile in the same direction at a transverse spacing from one another. Each profile leg has at least one opening for fastening and/or securing scaffold components on the scaffold cross-bar. The transverse spacing of the profile legs is smaller than 0.6 times the outside diameter of the round-tube carrier profile.

The present invention provides a fastening unit for attaching a first beam to a second beam, wherein the second beam is arranged substantially perpendicularly to the first beam, the fastening unit having a first axis and a second axis, wherein the second axis is substantially perpendicular to the first axis. The fastening unit comprises a connecting member extending in a direction parallel to the first axis of the fastening unit and having a first edge portion, a second edge portion and a central portion, the connecting member further comprising a coupling element.

A scaffolding has a coupling which can be mounted at a connection location. The connection location in this instance has a recess in the form of a through-recess in which an angular portion of the coupling can be at least partially introduced. The angular portion engages partially behind the connection location. The coupling may have a half-coupling so that a simple connection to a scaffolding pipe, in particular for connecting to a facade, is produced. A method for connecting the scaffolding to such a coupling is also taught herein.
