DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0067] FIG. 1a shows a plan view of the climbing shoe device 1 according to the invention with rail guide elements 3a, 3b which are rotatably coupled to a shoe base body 2, in the closed position of the climbing system 11 in a first embodiment as a single-handedly operated climbing shoe with a displacement element 6 on which a handle is arranged, and three latching/snap-action elements 10, 10, 10 in the form of latches, wherein a first latch 10 can engage in holding elements of a climbing lift rail 9b as the first climbing shoe rail and second and third latches 10, 10 in recesses of a climbing rail 9 as a second climbing shoe rail. The central latching/snap-action element 10 and the further latching/snap-action elements 10, 10 are arranged relative to the climbing rail 9 with the climbing rail outer elements 9a1, 9a2 and the climbing lift rail 9b such that the central latching/snap-action element 10 can engage in a holding element of the climbing lift rail 9b and the further latching/snap-action elements 10, 10 can engage in recesses as holding elements of the respective climbing rail outer elements 9a1, 9a2. Alternatively, bulges can also be present as holding elements on the climbing rail outer elements 9a1, 9a2 and/or the climbing lift rail 9b, which interact with the latching/snap-action elements 10, 10, 10. For example, blocks can be welded on the climbing rail outer elements 9a1, 9a2 and can engage in the latches 10 and/or 10. The arrangement of the latching/snap-action elements 10, 10 with respect to the legs of the climbing rail outer elements 9a1, 9a2 facing the climbing shoe 1 is illustrated in FIG. 1a by the fact that the climbing shoe 1 is located at a distance of, for example, 10 cm from the climbing rail 9.

[0068] The state of the climbing shoe 1 in the closed position of the rail guide elements 3a, 3b coupled to the climbing rail 9 with the climbing lift rail 9b is shown in FIG. 1b. The latching/snap-action elements 10, 10 arranged at a distance from a longitudinal axis L of the climbing shoe 1 in the Z direction each engage in recesses of the climbing rail outer elements 9a1, 9a2 in such a way that, in the coupled state of the climbing rail 9 on the climbing shoe 1, the portions of the latching/snap-action elements 10, 10 guided through the recesses are located on outer sides of the climbing rail outer elements 9a1, 9a2 facing away from one another. The region between the climbing rail outer elements 9a1, 9a2 is therefore reserved for the climbing lift rail guide elements 9a4, the climbing lift rail 9b, and the latching/snap-action element 10 arranged centrally on the longitudinal axis L. The first and second latching/snap-action elements 10, 10, 10 are each coupled to the shoe base body 2 so as to be displaceable between the hooked-in position and the traversed position in such a way that, when the first latching/snap-action element 10 or the second latching/snap-action elements 10, 10 are in the hooked-in position, the other of the first and second latching/snap-action elements 10, 10, 10 can be in an inserted traversed position, the hooked-in position, or a position in between.

[0069] In FIG. 1c, the climbing shoe 1, which has a finger displacement element 12 and a finger grip 13 arranged thereon, with the non-centrally arranged latching/snap-action elements 10, 10 is engaged in the holding elements 9a6 in the form of the recesses in such a way that the climbing rail 9 with the climbing lift rail 9b is held by the latching/snap-action elements 10, 10 arranged adjacent to the centrally arranged latching/snap-action element 10. The central latching/snap-action element 10 is not engaged in a holding element of the climbing lift rail 9b and is therefore in the traversed position or a position between the hooked-in position and the traversed position.

[0070] In contrast to the arrangement of the climbing rail 9 relative to the climbing shoe 1 according to FIG. 1c, an external view of the climbing shoe 1 coupled to the climbing rail 9 is shown in FIG. 1d, in which the non-centrally arranged latching/snap-action elements 10, 10 do not engage in the recesses of the holding elements 9a6, but the climbing rail 9 is held by the climbing shoe 1 via the climbing lift rail 9b and the latching/snap-action element 10 which is in engaged in a holding element of the climbing lift rail 9b. The climbing lift rail 9b thus transfers the load of the climbing system via the central latching/snap-action element 10 into the climbing shoe 1, wherein the climbing rail outer elements 9a1, 9a2 are guided by the rail guide elements 3a, 3b and can be displaced relative to the climbing lift rail 9b.

[0071] In FIG. 1e, an external view of the climbing shoe 1 coupled to the climbing rail 9 is shown, wherein the non-centrally arranged latching/snap-action elements 10, 10 each engage in recesses of the climbing rail outer elements 9a1, 9a2 that serve as holding elements 9a6 in order to couple the climbing rail 9 to the climbing shoe 1. The central latching/snap-action element in the form of the latch which is covered by the climbing lift rail 9b is not engaged in a holding element of the climbing lift rail 9b, and therefore the climbing lift rail 9b can be moved in the Z direction relative to the central latching/snap-action element 10 which is not in the hooked-in or holding position. Moving the climbing lift rail 9b relative to the central latching/snap-action element 10 is also possible in the negative Z direction as long as the latching/snap-action element 10 that is located in the traversed position, that is to say the closed position, does not engage in a holding element of the climbing lift rail 9b. A movement path of the climbing lift rail 9b relative to the climbing shoe 1 is therefore dependent on a distance of adjacent holding elements of the climbing lift rail 9b for engagement in the central latching/snap-action element 10. In the embodiment shown the distance between the holding elements of the climbing lift rail 9b in the Z direction for the latch 10 of the climbing shoe 1 is substantially the same as the distance between the recesses 9a6 of the climbing rail 9 for the further latches 10, 10. The movement path, also called the stroke, is greater than the distances between the recesses in the climbing rail 9 or the distances between the holding elements in the climbing lift rail 9b. The overlap region is required for climbing.

[0072] FIG. 1f shows the climbing shoe 1 in the closed position of the rail guide elements 3a, 3b at a distance of, for example, 10 cm relative to the climbing rail 9 with the climbing lift rail 9b in a three-dimensional external view in the first embodiment of the climbing shoe 1. Recesses in the climbing shoe 1 in the coupled state of the climbing shoe 1 on the climbing rail 9 on legs of the climbing rail outer elements 9a1, 9a2 facing the climbing shoe 1 serve as holding elements 9a6, by means of which the climbing rail 9 can engage in the non-centrally arranged latching/snap-action elements 10, 10. The latching/snap-action element 10 arranged centrally with respect to the longitudinal axis L is designed to engage in holding elements of the climbing lift rail 9b which is arranged centrally between the climbing rail outer elements 9a1, 9a2. The climbing shoe 1 is in the state in which a displacement of the displacement element 6 relative to the shoe base body 2 in the negative Z direction is not possible, that is to say the handle 7 is not actuated in the decoupling direction in the Z direction, and therefore the rail guide elements 3a, 3b are in the guide state and each of the latching/snap-action elements 10, 10, 10 is in the mounting or holding state.

[0073] By actuating the handle 7 in the decoupling direction, for example in the Z direction, the climbing shoe 1 can be shifted into the state in which the rail guide elements 3a, 3b and the latching/snap-action elements 10, 10, 10 are each in their initial state, that is to say in the traversed position or open position. This is possible since the displacement element 6 is arranged so as to be displaceable relative to the shoe base body 2 and is mechanically coupled to the shoe base body 2, the rail guide elements 3a, 3b, and the latching/snap-action elements 10, 10, 10, and, when the rail guide elements 3a, 3b are in the guide state and the latching/snap-action elements 10, 10, 10 are in the pivoted holding state, a displacement of the displacement element 6 relative to the shoe base body 2 produced by actuating the handle 7 results in the rail guide elements 3a, 3b and the latching/snap-action elements 10, 10, 10 each being shifted into the non-pivoted initial state, that is to say into the open position, in order to decouple the climbing shoe 1 from a bracket element and/or from the climbing lifting rail 9b and to release it from the guidance of the climbing rail 9 and/or the climbing lifting rail 9b. The climbing shoe can have a receiving element 5 which is arranged on the shoe base body 2 and is designed to interact with a first portion of the bracket element arranged in a stationary manner on a concreting portion of a structure such that, when the receiving element 5 abuts the first portion of the bracket element, a load of the climbing shoe 1 can be introduced into the bracket element.

[0074] In FIG. 2a, the climbing shoe 1 is shown in a second embodiment as a single-handedly operated climbing shoe with three latching/snap-action elements 10, 10, 10 in the closed position of the rail guide elements 3a, 3b coupled to the climbing rail 9 with first and second climbing rail outer elements 9a1, 9a2. In the state in which it is coupled to the bracket element (not shown), the bracket element would connect in the Y direction to the climbing shoe 1 such that the receiving elements 5 surround the bracket support element 8c which would be oriented in the X direction. The climbing rail outer elements 9a1, 9a2 each have a C shape, wherein the outer climbing rail elements are oriented away from one another in the X direction and in the negative X direction are oriented in parallel with one another. In each case, an upper leg of the first climbing rail outer element 9a1 and the second climbing rail outer element 9a2 are enveloped by the rail guide elements 3a, 3b, which are each in the guide state, that is to say in the closed position. The climbing rail outer elements 9a1, 9a2 are connected to one another at a distance from one another by struts oriented in the X direction and distributed along the climbing rail 9 in the negative Z direction, for example via screw connections, as shown in FIG. 2a. Between the climbing rail outer elements, a climbing lift rail guide element 9a4 is fastened to each of the outer climbing rail elements, for example by means of a further screw connection, in order to guide the climbing lift rail 9b, which is guided by the climbing lift rail guide elements 9a4 and is arranged displaceably relative to the climbing rail 9. The first latching/snap-action element 10, which is arranged centrally on the longitudinal axis L, is designed to engage in at least one holding element of the climbing lift rail 9b and, in this way, couple the climbing rail 9 to the climbing shoe 1. In the X direction and in the negative X direction, in each case, next to the holding elements of the climbing lift rail, support elements are fastened in the Y direction to each of the climbing rail outer elements 9a1, 9a2, for example by means of a further screw connection 9a3. In the plan view of FIG. 2a, the latching/snap-action elements 10, 10 are each arranged in the Z direction above holding elements of the climbing lift rail 9b and the support elements of the climbing rail outer elements 9a, 9a2, while the latching/snap-action element 10 is arranged below the holding element of the climbing lift rail 9b.

[0075] In FIG. 2b, the climbing shoe 1, as is shown in FIG. 2a, is shown in a three-dimensional external view. The rail guide elements 3a, 3b are in the guide state, which means that the displacement element 6 with handle 7 is arranged relative to the shoe base body 2 in such a way that a further displacement of the displacement element 6 relative to the shoe base body 2 in the negative Z direction is not possible. The central latching/snap-action element arranged on the longitudinal axis L is located between the further latching/snap-action elements 10, 10 arranged adjacent to said latching element in the X direction and in the negative X direction. Since the latching/snap-action elements 10, 10, 10 are each in the hooked-in position or closed position, that is to say in the holding state, the finger displacement element 12 which is provided with the finger grip 13 and is guided by a central axis element 2c, is not actuated such that the finger displacement element 12 cannot be displaced relative to the shoe base body 2 in the negative Z direction.

[0076] FIG. 2c shows a cross-sectional view of the climbing shoe 1 shown in FIG. 2a. The latching/snap-action element 10 in the form of a latch engages in a holding element of the climbing lift rail 9b, wherein the holding element of the climbing lift rail 9b partially covers the further latching/snap-action element 10 which is in the hooked-in position, that is to say in the closed position, in such a way that the support element 9a5 can rest, in the lower portion thereof, on the latching/snap-action element 10 in the negative Z direction. The climbing lift rail guide element 9a4 is fastened to the second climbing rail outer element 9a2 by means of a bolt, for example via a screw or welded connection. Since the latching/snap-action elements 10, 10, 10 are each in the hooked-in position, the finger displacement element 12 is not displaced in the negative Z direction relative to the shoe base body 2, that is to say not actuated, which likewise applies to the handle 7, the displacement element 6 of which, like the finger displacement element 12, is guided by the central axis element 2c. Due to the non-actuated handle 7, the climbing shoe 1 is in the closed position such that the one locking element 4 that interacts with the receiving element 5 is in the locked state, that is to say also in the closed position. It is also possible for the central latching/snap-action element 10 to interact with holding elements of the climbing lift rail 9b and for the further latching/snap-action elements 10, 10 to interact with holding elements of a further climbing lift rail which, like the climbing lift rail 9b, is arranged within the climbing rail outer elements 9a1, 9a2 for fastening the climbing rail 9 to the climbing shoe 1. In this case, the climbing rail outer elements 9a1, 9a2 would have no support elements 9a5 (see third embodiment shown in FIG. 3 and fourth embodiment shown in FIG. 7).

[0077] The climbing shoe 1 coupled to the climbing rail 9 and/or climbing lift rail 9b, as shown in FIG. 2a, is shown in FIG. 2d in a three-dimensional external view. Although the central latching/snap-action element 10 is in a hooked-in position, that is in the holding state, it does not rest on a holding element of the climbing lift rail 9b. The further latching/snap-action elements 10, 10, in contrast, each rest on a support element 9a5 which is fastened to each of the climbing rail outer elements 9a1, 9a2.

[0078] FIG. 2e shows the climbing shoe 1 at a distance of, for example, 10 cm from the climbing rail 9 with the climbing lift rail 9b and the climbing rail outer elements 9a1, 9a2 for better identification of the arrangement of the latching/snap-action elements 10, 10, 10 relative to the climbing lift rail 9b and the support elements 9a5. The rail guide elements 3a, 3b as well as the latching/snap-action elements 10, 10, 10 and the locking element 4 are in the closed position so that the displacement element 6 with the handle 7 cannot be displaced further in the negative Z direction relative to the shoe base body 2.

[0079] In FIG. 2f, the climbing lift rail 9b guided by the climbing lift rail guide elements 9a4 is shown in a cross-sectional view and is hooked in with one of its holding elements in the latching/snap-action element 10 and thus transfers a load of the climbing system into the climbing shoe 1 via the climbing rail 9. Each of the latching/snap-action elements 10, 10 is not engaged in a lower portion of the support elements 9a5, and therefore the load of the climbing system is transferred into the climbing shoe 1 via the climbing lift rail 9b, instead of via the climbing rail 9, and into a finished concreting portion of a building to be erected via the climbing shoe 1. In contrast to the state of the climbing shoe 1 relative to the climbing rail 9 and the climbing lift rail 9b according to FIG. 2f, in FIG. 2g the load of the climbing system is transferred into the climbing shoe 1 via the latching/snap-action elements 10, 10, wherein the central latching/snap-action element 10 is not engaged in a holding element of the climbing lift rail 9b. The support elements 9a5 are arranged relative to the climbing lift rail guide elements 9a4 in the Y direction, that is in the direction of the climbing lift rail 9 to the climbing shoe 1.

[0080] FIG. 3a shows a plan view of the climbing shoe device according to the invention mounted on the bracket element 8 in a third embodiment as a single-handedly operated climbing shoe with three latches 10, 10, 10, wherein the first latch 10 can engage in holding elements of a first inner climbing lift rail 9a and second and third latches 10, 10 in holding elements of a second outer climbing lift rail 913 with outer climbing lift rail parts 9b1, 9b2. The bracket element 8 is mounted on a ceiling of the floor G1 of a structure. The bracket element 8 has a bracket support element 8b via which the climbing shoe 1 is fastened to the bracket element 8. Starting from the inner climbing lift rail 9a, the outer climbing lift rail part 9b1 closes in the X direction and the outer climbing lift rail part 9b2 in the negative X direction toward the inner climbing lift rail 9a. The inner climbing lift rail 9a is arranged centrally or in the middle relative to the longitudinal axis L in the Z direction. The climbing lift rail 9a lies inside between the outer climbing lift rail parts 9b1, 9b2, which rest on the outside in relation to the inner climbing lift rail 9a. The symmetrical arrangement of the inner climbing lift rail 9a and the outer climbing lift rail 913 relative to the longitudinal axis L of the climbing shoe 1 ensures that the climbing forces of the climbing lift rails 9a, 913 are introduced symmetrically via the climbing shoe in the bracket element 8 and the structure to which the bracket element is attached. In this way, the maximum introducible force is increased in comparison with an asymmetrical arrangement of the climbing lift rails 9a, 913.

[0081] The first and second climbing lift rails 9a, 913 are arranged inside a climbing guide rail 9, which comprises outer climbing guide rail outer elements 91, 92. No direct holding function takes place with the climbing guide rail 9 with respect to hooking into a latching/snap-action element of the climbing shoe and it consequently serves to receive and guide the climbing lift rails 9a, 913, which are connected to the climbing guide rail 9 by a lifting device (not shown). The climbing lift rails 9a, 913 and lifting device form a climbing mechanism. In addition, a frame unit, for example, that can comprise platforms and formwork is fastened to the climbing guide rail 9.

[0082] With the same distance of the inner sides of the climbing rail outer elements 9a1, 9a2 from one another and the inner sides of the climbing guide rail outer elements 91, 92 from one another, the second latches 10, 10 are further together relative to the first latch 10 than in the first embodiment of the climbing shoe 1 shown in FIG. 1. In the second embodiment of the climbing shoe 1 shown in FIG. 2, the support elements 9a5 fastened to the climbing rail 9 are arranged inside the climbing rail 9 and arranged symmetrically to the climbing lift rail 9b in accordance with the arrangement of the first and second climbing lift rails 9a, 913 in FIG. 3a. Therefore, with the same distance of the inner sides of the climbing rail outer elements 9a1, 9a2 from one another and the inner sides of the climbing guide rail outer elements 91, 92 from one another, the second latches 10, 10 of the second embodiment of the climbing shoe 1 are comparatively far away from one another relative to the first latch as in the third embodiment of the climbing shoe 1 shown in FIG. 3a.

[0083] The climbing shoe 1 comprises rail guide elements 3a, 3b pivotably coupled to the shoe base body 2 which are in the closed position in order to envelop sections of the climbing guide rail outer elements 91, 92 facing the climbing shoe 1 in order to guide the climbing guide rail 9 and the first and second climbing lift rails 9a, 913 coupled thereto via the lifting device. In this guide position of the rail guide elements 3a, 3b, the moving element 6, which is provided with the handle 7 and mechanically coupled to the shoe base body 2 and the rail guide element 3a, 3b, is inserted in the coupling direction, which corresponds to the negative Z direction, relative to the shoe base body.

[0084] In FIG. 3b, the climbing guide rail 9 is, by means of the first and second climbing lift rails 9a, 913 coupled thereto via the lifting device, hooked into the climbing shoe 1 shown in FIG. 3a and guided thereby. The climbing shoe comprises a finger displacement element 12 which is provided with the finger grip 13 and arranged displaceably relative to the shoe base body 2 and the displacement element 6 and is designed such that it is coupled to the shoe base body 2, the displacement element 6, the rail guide elements 3a, 3b, and the latches 10, 10, 10, and, when either the rail guide elements 3a, 3b are in the guide state, and at least one of the latches 10, 10, 10 is therefore not actuated in the hooked-in position, that is in the holding state, that is to say the handle 7 is not actuated, a finger displacement of the finger displacement element 12, which is produced by actuating the finger grip 13, relative to the shoe base body 2 and the displacement element 6 in an unlocking direction results in the rail guide elements 3a, 3b being locked in the pivoted guide state and the latches 10, 10, 10 being shifted into the non-pivoted and/or retracted traversed position, that is the open position, in order to free the climbing shoe 1 from the holding state of the first or second climbing lift rail 9a and guide the climbing guide rail 9 and the first and second climbing lift rails 9a, 913 coupled thereto via the lifting device, wherein the finger grip 13 is designed such that the latches 10, 10, 10 can be actuated simultaneously or independently of one another by means of the finger grip 13.

[0085] FIG. 3c shows a three-dimensional external view of the climbing shoe 1 and the climbing guide rail 9 with the first and second climbing lift rails 9a, 913 coupled thereto via the lifting device, wherein the climbing shoe 1 is arranged at a distance from the climbing guide rail 9 with the first climbing lift rail 9a and the second climbing lift rail 913 which comprises the outer climbing lift rail parts 9b1, 9b2, as is already shown in FIG. 3a in the plan view. Rail guide elements 3a, 3b are in the guide position and end regions of the outer latches 10, 10 in the negative Y direction, that is to say facing the climbing guide rail 9, extend further in the negative Y direction than the housing 10 arranged centrally with respect to the longitudinal axis L. FIG. 3d shows in a further three-dimensional exterior view of the climbing shoe 1 and the climbing guide rail 9 with the first and second climbing lift rails 9a, 913 from below, that is to say in the Z direction, that the climbing shoe 1 is arranged at a distance of approximately 50 mm from the climbing guide rail 9 and the first climbing lift rail 9a and the second climbing lift rail 913 which comprises the outer climbing lift rail parts 9b1, 9b2. It can be seen that the rail guide elements 3a, 3b pivotably coupled to the shoe base body 2 are in the closed position in order to be able to envelop sections of the climbing guide rail outer elements 91, 92 facing the climbing shoe 1 when one of the first and second climbing lift rails 9a, 913 hooks into at least one of the latches 10, 10, 10. The bracket support element 8b of the bracket element 8 is enveloped by a receiving element arranged above the bracket support element 8b in the Y direction and on the shoe base body 2 and a locking element rotatably coupled to the shoe base body 2 below the bracket support element 8b in the negative Y direction in order to fasten the climbing shoe 1 to the bracket element 8.

[0086] FIG. 4a shows a cross-sectional side view of the climbing shoe device 1 shown in FIG. 3 with a cross-sectional plane which shows a latch 10 of the second and third latches 10, 10 of the second latching/snap-action element in which the second climbing lift rail 913 engages with its outer climbing lift rail part 9b1. Behind the climbing lift rail part 9b1, the first climbing shoe rail in the form of the first climbing lift rail 9a can be seen in the negative X direction. The bracket support element 8b is fastened to the bracket element 8 in such a way that the locking element 4 is enveloped by the receiving element 5 arranged on the shoe base body 2 and interacting with the receiving element 5 and interacts with the receiving element 5 in order to ensure a fixed connection of the climbing shoe 1 to the bracket element 8.

[0087] The climbing shoe is in a state when the handle 7 is not actuated, that is to say in the closed position, with the finger grip 13 not actuated in the unlocking direction in the Z direction. The latching/snap-action element 10 is therefore in a hooked-in position, that is in the holding state, wherein a pressure is exerted on the locking element 4 via an upper bearing surface of the locking element by means of a spring element (not shown). The finger displacement element 12 is not latched into a central axle element 2c (latching recess of the finger displacement element 12 for the central axis element 2c not shown). The handle 7 is not actuated in the decoupling direction in the Z direction and the latching/snap-action element 10 engages in a holding element of the second climbing lift rail 9b1.

[0088] FIG. 4b shows a three-dimensional outer view of the cross section of the climbing shoe 1 shown in FIG. 3a and the climbing guide rail 9 with the climbing guide rail outer element 92. It can be seen that the first climbing shoe rail in the form of the first climbing lift rail 9a is arranged between the outer climbing lift rail parts 9b1, 9b2 of the second climbing shoe rail in the form of the second climbing lift rail 913. A lifting cylinder of the lifting device comprising a lifting cylinder outer tube 14a and lifting cylinder piston 14b connects the first climbing lift rail 9a to the climbing guide rail 9. The climbing lift rail parts 9b1, 9b2 are hooked into the second and third latches 10, 10 so that an extending stroke movement of the lifting cylinder results in the climbing guide rail 9 being displaced together with the first climbing lift rail 9a in the Z direction, that is in the climbing direction, relative to the climbing shoe 1.

[0089] FIG. 5a shows a further cross-sectional view of the climbing shoe device 1 shown in FIG. 3 with a cross-sectional plane which shows the first latch 10 in which the inner first climbing lift rail 9a engages. FIG. 5a therefore shows a position of the climbing lift rails 9a, 913 relative to the first to third latches 10, 10, 10 that is different from that in FIG. 4. The outer climbing lift rail part 9b2 is arranged between the first climbing lift rail 9a and the outer climbing guide rail element 92. The rail guide elements 3a, 3b are in the guide position, the locking element 4 in the locking position, and the latching/snap-action element 10 in the hooked-in position, that is to say each is in the closed position. The displacement element 6 is coupled to the finger displacement element 12 via the central axis element 2c such that the locking element 4 is pivoted about a locking axis element 4a by means of axle arms (see axle arm 6f). The latching/snap-action element 10 is rotated counterclockwise about the latching/snap-action axis element 10a into the hooked-in position as a closed position, wherein a spring element 10d which is guided in a spring element can exert pressure on the support surface of the locking element 4 which remains in its locked position, that is closed position, due to the guide via the axle arms 6f. FIG. 5b shows a further three-dimensional external view with the cross-sectional plane in which the inner first climbing lift rail 9a engages in the first latch 10. The displacement element 6 is displaced relative to the shoe base body 2 in a coupling direction counter to the decoupling direction in the negative Z direction, which results in the rail guide elements 3a, 3b being shifted into the guide state, the locking element 4 into the locked state, and the latching/snap-action element 10 into the holding state in order to shift the climbing shoe 1 into the guidance of the climbing lift rails 9a, 913 and the climbing guide rail 9, lock it on the bracket element 8, and shift it into the holding state of the climbing lift rails 9a, 913. The lifting cylinder 14 is completely extended so that a head of the lifting cylinder piston 14b is arranged in an end region of the lifting cylinder outer tube 14a.

[0090] FIG. 6a shows a three-dimensional external view of the climbing system with the climbing shoe device 1 according to the invention in an embodiment in which the climbing lift rails 9a, 913 are each connected to a lifting cylinder, wherein end regions of each of the two lifting cylinders are connected to different locations of the climbing guide rail 9 arranged one above the other in the Z direction. The climbing lift rail 9 is guided by two climbing shoes, which are each fastened to floors G0, G1 by means of the bracket element 8. Holding and climbing points are formed by the climbing shoe 1 upper in the Z direction so that the climbing shoe arranged on the floor G0 takes over only one guide of the climbing guide rail 9 and thus the climbing lift rails 9a, 913 coupled to this rail via the lifting device. This results in a simple and rapid check as to whether at least one of the latches 10, 10, 10 is in the hooked-in position in order to carry at least one of the climbing lift rails 9a, 913 and thus the climbing guide rail 9 on which a frame unit is fastened or into which the frame unit is integrated. FIG. 6b shows a side view of the climbing system shown in FIG. 6a. The lifting device comprises two lifting cylinders 14, 15, wherein the first lifting cylinder 14 is fixedly connected to an end region of its lifting cylinder outer tube 14a on the climbing guide rail 9 and to a further end region of its lifting cylinder piston 14b on the climbing guide rail 9a, for example via a screw connection and/or welded connections. The second lifting cylinder is fixedly connected to an end region of its lifting cylinder outer tube 15a on the climbing guide rail 9 and to a further end region of its lifting cylinder piston 15b on the climbing guide rail 913, also, for example, via a screw or welded connection. The arrangement of the lifting cylinders 14, 15, one above the other in the Z direction as a climbing direction results in a more compact design compared to an arrangement of the lifting cylinders 14, 15 next to one another in the Z direction, that is to say at the same height with at least one end region of each of the two lifting cylinders.

[0091] FIG. 7a shows a three-dimensional external view of the climbing shoe device 1 mounted on a bracket element 8 according to the invention in a fourth embodiment with two latches 10a, 10b, wherein a first latch 10a can engage in holding elements of a first climbing lift rail 9a and a second latch 10b arranged next to the first latch 10a in the X direction in holding elements of a second climbing lift rail 9b. The latches 10a, 10b arranged next to each other are arranged between climbing guide rail outer elements 91, 92 of the climbing guide rail 9. Portions of the climbing guide rail outer elements 91, 92 facing the climbing shoe 1 in the X direction each have a width which substantially corresponds to the width of both latches 10a, 10b together in the X direction. This dimensioning results in a rigid arrangement which is therefore highly loadable with respect to the introduction of forces of the climbing system into the structure from the climbing lift rail 9a, 9b and the climbing guide rail 9 coupled to these rails via the lifting device. Rail guide elements 3a, 3b which are rotatably coupled to the shoe base body 2 of the climbing shoe 1 are in the guide position and envelop portions of the climbing guide rail outer elements 91, 92, wherein the climbing shoe is fastened to the bracket element 8 via the bracket support element 8b.

[0092] The two latches 10a, 10b are each rotatably mounted in an end region facing the shoe base body 2 by means of a latch axle element which forms a part of the shoe base body 2. The mounting takes place such that the first latching snap-action element in the form of the first latch 10a interacts only with the first climbing lift rail 9a and the second latching snap-action element in the form of the second latch 10b only interacts with the second climbing lift rail 9b. Therefore, the first latch 10a can be coupled via a first spring element (not shown) and the second latch 10b via a second spring element (not shown) to the latch axis element so that when the first latch is in the hooked-in position, the second latch 10b can be in the traversed position, the hooked-in position, or a position in between, and vice versa. The latching snap-action element elements 10a, 10b are shown in simplified form.

[0093] In FIG. 7b, the climbing shoe device 1 shown in FIG. 7a of the fourth embodiment with hooked-in first and/or second climbing lift rails 9a, 9b is shown in the negative X direction when viewed in plan view. A first lifting cylinder 16 connects the first climbing lift rail 9a to the climbing guide rail 9 and a second lifting cylinder 17 connects the second climbing lift rail 9b to the climbing guide rail 9. The two lifting cylinders 16, 17 form the lifting device, which connects the first and second climbing shoe rails to one another in the form of the climbing lift rails 9a, 9b. The bracket element 8 to which the climbing shoe 1 is fastened is fastened to a ceiling of the floor G1 in the negative Z direction in order to derive forces of the climbing system into the floor G1.

[0094] In FIG. 7c, the climbing shoe device 1 of the fourth embodiment shown in FIGS. 7a and 7b is shown with hooked-in first and/or second climbing lift rails 9a, 9b in a three-dimensional external view from above in the negative Z direction. The first climbing lift rail 9a is hooked into the latch 10a and the second latch 10b is traversed by the second climbing lift rails 9b, which is displaced over the extending lifting cylinder 17 in the Z direction relative to the climbing shoe 1. In this respect, the second climbing lift rail 913 moves upward at the hooked-in first climbing lift rail 9a, with which it is connected via the first lifting cylinder 16, the climbing guide rail 9, and the second lifting cylinder. FIG. 7d shows the climbing shoe device 1 shown in FIGS. 7a-c of the fourth embodiment in the unhooked state relative to the first and/or second climbing lift rails 9a, 9b in a three-dimensional external view from above in the negative Z direction.

[0095] FIG. 8 shows a three-dimensional external view of the climbing system with the climbing shoe device 1 shown in FIG. 7 in an embodiment in which the climbing lift rails 9a, 9b are each connected to the lifting cylinders 16, 17, wherein end regions of each of the two lifting cylinders 16, 17 are connected to the same location of the climbing guide rail 9 on an upper end of FIG. 8 in the Z direction. The climbing guide rail outer elements 91, 92 extend in the positive and negative X directions over a total width of the lifting cylinders 16, 17 but not in the negative Y direction. The lifting cylinders 16, 17 are therefore freely accessible in the Y direction, which benefits serviceability. The positioning of the lifting cylinders 16, 17 at the same height also results in good serviceability.

[0096] FIG. 9a shows a three-dimensional external view of the climbing system with the climbing shoe device 1 shown in FIG. 7 in an embodiment in which the climbing lift rails 9a, 9b are connected via a crankshaft drive 18 as a lifting device to an electric motor 18a, wherein a first end region of a crank 18c of a crankshaft 18b is rotatably coupled to the first climbing lift rail 9a and a second end region of the crank 18c is rotatably coupled to the second climbing lift rail 9b, and the electric motor 18a is fixedly connected to the climbing guide rail 9. The motor 18a and the crankshaft 18b are therefore arranged in a stationary manner relative to the climbing guide rail 9. In the negative Y direction, the climbing lift rails 9a, 9b each have bulges to each of which climbing lift rail tower arms 9a1, 9b1 are coupled. An end region of the climbing lift rail crank arm 9a1 is rotatably coupled to the bulge of the first climbing lift rail 9a and, opposite said end region, a further end region of the climbing lift rail crank arm 9a1 is rotatably coupled to an end region of the crank 18c. By rotating the crank 18c by means of the electric motor 18a, the climbing lift rails 9a, 9b can be alternately displaced relative to the climbing shoe 1 in the Z direction. Since the climbing guide rail 9 is carried along by one of the two climbing lift rails 9a, 9b in each of these displacements, the climbing guide rail 9 can be moved continuously in the Z direction relative to the climbing shoe 1 when the crank 8c is rotated continuously. The position of the crank 18c results in the bulge of the first climbing lift rail 9a being above the bulge of the second climbing lift rail 9b in the Z direction.

[0097] FIG. 9b shows a further three-dimensional external view of the climbing system with the climbing shoe device 1 shown in FIG. 7 and the climbing lift rails 9a, 9b, which are connected to the electric motor 18a via the crankshaft drive 18 as a lifting device. The crank 18c is rotated by 180 degrees relative to the crank 18c shown in FIG. 19a in such a way that the bulge of the second climbing lift rail 9b is above the bulge of the first climbing lift rail 9a in the Z direction.

[0098] FIG. 10a shows a three-dimensional external view of the climbing shoe device 1 according to the invention in a fifth embodiment, wherein a first climbing shoe part 1a comprises rail guide elements 3a, 313 and additionally second latches 10, 10 as a second latching/snap-action element, and a single-handedly operated second climbing shoe part 1b comprises a first latch 10 as a first latching/snap-action element, wherein the climbing shoe parts 1a, 1b can be arranged together as a climbing shoe device 1 at the same anchor point on the structure on which the climbing shoe device 1 is fastened to a bracket element 8 by means of the bracket support element 8b. The rail guide elements 3a, 313 are rotatably coupled to the first shoe base body part 2a and are in the guide position. The bracket element 8, which is suitable for attaching to wall of a structure by means of a contact surface in the X/Z plane, has the bracket support element 8b which is engaged in the first shoe base body part 2a. The further rail guide elements 3a, 3b are rotatably coupled to the second single-handedly operated shoe base body part 2b and are in the guide position. The bracket support element 8b of the bracket element 8 is engaged in the second shoe base body part 2a via the first shoe base body part 2a and a climbing shoe part connecting element 8c which connects the first and second shoe base body parts 2a, 2b to one another. The first and second shoe base body parts 2a, 2b are rotatably coupled by the climbing shoe part connecting element 8c, which allows the climbing shoe device 1 to be used for surfaces curved in the Z direction. The first climbing shoe part 1a can be a conventional climbing shoe which can be supplemented by the second climbing shoe part 1b according to the invention to form the climbing shoe device according to the invention.

[0099] The second climbing shoe part 1b has a displacement element which is mechanically coupled to the second shoe base body part 2a and has a handle 7. The mode of operation of the second climbing shoe part 1b corresponds to that which is described in connection with the climbing shoes 1 in each case, which are shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, wherein the receiving element 5 and the locking element 4 are omitted from the second shoe base body part 2a. Instead, the second climbing shoe part 1b is not fastened to the bracket element 8 directly, but rather by means of the first climbing shoe part 1a. By pulling the handle 7 of the second climbing shoe part 1b, therefore, not only the second climbing shoe part 1b but additionally the first climbing shoe part 1a is removed from the climbing rail 9 and the climbing lift rail 9b when the first climbing shoe part 1a is decoupled from the bracket element 8, and the guide elements 3a, 3b are in the open position. Alternatively, the climbing shoe part connecting element 8c can be removed in order to separate the second climbing shoe part 1b from the first climbing shoe part 1a and move it in the Z direction.

[0100] FIG. 10b shows a cross-sectional view of the climbing shoe device 1 according to the invention in a fifth embodiment with the climbing shoe parts 1a, 1b. The climbing lift rail 9b has climbing lift rail holding elements 9b1 in the form of bulges in which the first latch 10 of the second climbing shoe part 1b arranged centrally with respect to the longitudinal axis L of the first and second climbing shoe parts 1a, 1b can engage. The second latches 10, 10 external to the first latch 10 form a double latch element connected to one another and are in the hooked-in position, wherein support elements 9a5 fastened to the climbing rail 9, for example by means of screw or welded connections, engage in the latches 10, 10. The latches 10, 10 are rotatably coupled to the first shoe base body part 2a via a first latch axis element and can be manually brought into the traversed position in the y direction by means of a second latch axis element on which an actuating element is rotatably coupled, when the climbing rail 9 is not hooked into the latches 10, 10. The structure of the climbing rail 9 and the climbing lift rail 9b corresponds to that described in connection with FIG. 2. A lifting cylinder 19 is, at an end region, connected to the climbing rail 9 and, at another end region, connected to the climbing lift rail 9b so as to be reversibly detachable, for example by means of a bolt with or without a safety joint.

[0101] FIG. 11a shows a three-dimensional external view of the climbing shoe according to the invention of a sixth embodiment in the open position. FIG. 11b shows the climbing shoe shown in FIG. 11a in the closed position. Rail guide elements 3a, 3b can be opened and closed by actuating the handle 7 via tube-screw contours, wherein other mechanisms, for example via locking arms 4 as shown in FIG. 2c, are also possible. A first latching/snap-action element has two first latches 10.sup.1, 10.sup.2 and a further latching/snap-action element comprises two second latches 10, 10, which are arranged at a distance from the two first latches 10.sup.1, 10.sup.2 in or counter to a climbing direction, which runs parallel to a longitudinal axis L of the climbing shoe. A displacement of the finger grip 13 relative to the shoe base body 2 and the displacement element 6 in an unlocking direction produced by actuating the finger grip 13 results in the rail guide elements 3a, 3b locking in the pivoted guide state and the latches 10.sup.1, 10.sup.2, 10, 10 shifting into the non-pivoted and/or retracted traversed position, that is the open position. The first and/or latch/snap-action element can also have more than two latches.

[0102] At substantially equal distances from the longitudinal axis L, the two first latches 10.sup.1, 10.sup.2 of the first latching/snap-action element are at a distance from the longitudinal axis L substantially on a first axis substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L of the climbing shoe. Counter to the climbing direction, which is directed vertically upward, the two second latches 10, 10 of the second latching/snap-action element are arranged so as to be at a distance from the two first latches 10.sup.1, 10.sup.2 on a second axis substantially perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis L at a distance from the longitudinal axis L at substantially equal distances from the longitudinal axis L. The two first latches 10.sup.1, 10.sup.2 of the first latching/snap-action element and the two second latches 10, 10 of the second latching/snap-action element can be actuated in pairs. To keep the design perpendicular to the longitudinal axis L compact, the two first latches 10.sup.1, 10.sup.2 of the first latching/snap-action element are arranged so as to be offset relative to the two second latches 10, 10 of the second latching/snap-action element counter to the climbing direction.

[0103] First distances from the longitudinal axis L of the two first latches 10.sup.1, 10.sup.2 differ from distances of the two second latches 10, 10 from the longitudinal axis, wherein the first distances are selected to be smaller than the second intervals. The two first latches 10.sup.1, 10.sup.2 interact with the first climbing shoe rail and the two second latches 10, 10 interact with the second climbing shoe rail. An inverted embodiment in which the two first latches 10.sup.1, 10.sup.2 interact with the second climbing shoe rail and the two second latches 10, 10 interact with the first climbing shoe rail is also possible. The first climbing shoe rail can be designed as a climbing lift rail and the second climbing shoe rail can be designed as a climbing rail.
