SCAFFOLDING HAVING A COUPLING

Abstract

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.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0034] FIG. 1 shows a portion of a scaffolding 10. Of the scaffolding 10, a connection location 12 in the form of an anchor plate portion can be seen in FIG. 1. The connection location 12 is secured to a vertical scaffolding shaft 14, in particular welded. At the connection location 12, a coupling 18 is arranged or coupled. The coupling 18 serves to connect the connection location 12 to a scaffolding retention member which is not illustrated in FIG. 1 and which secures the scaffolding 10 to a building facade (not shown). By way of illustration, the longitudinal axis 20 of the tubular scaffolding retention member is shown in FIG. 1. The scaffolding retention member can be connected at one end by means of a facade connection (not shown) to the building facade. At the other end, the scaffolding retention member is received by means of a half-coupling 22 of the coupling 18. In this case, the half-coupling 22 is constructed in the form of a clip (clamp) in which the pipe of the scaffolding retention member is retained by closing a screw connection 24.

[0035] The half-coupling 22 is connected to a plate-like portion 28 by means of a weld connection 26. Alternatively, it could also be rotatably connected to the plate-like portion 24, for example, by means of a screw or rivet connection. By means of an additional weld connection which is not provided with a reference numeral, the plate-like portion 28 is connected to an angular portion 30 of the coupling 18.

[0036] The angular portion 30 is constructed in the form of a rod which is bent in a simple manner. The angular portion 30 is guided through a first recess 32 which is constructed in the form of a through-recess.

[0037] The connection location 12 has additional recesses in the form of through-recesses, wherein an additional recess 34 is provided with a reference numeral. A coupling 18 which can be connected to the additional recess 34 is illustrated in FIGS. 2a, 2b and described below.

[0038] FIG. 2a shows the coupling 18 with a half-coupling 22 for receiving a tubular scaffolding retention member. On the half-coupling 22 a plate-like portion 28 is arranged, in particular in a rotationally secure manner. Furthermore, the coupling 18 has a T-shaped portion 36. The T-shaped portion 36 has a first upper side arm 38, a second upper side arm 40 and a lower portion 42. The T-shaped portion 36 is connected to the plate-like portion 28 by means of the lower portion 42.

[0039] As a result of the first upper side arm 38 and the lower portion 42, a first angular portion 44 is formed. As a result of the second upper side arm 40 and the lower portion 42, a second angular portion 46 is formed. As can be seen from an overview of FIGS. 1 and 2a, the coupling 18 is retained partially between the upper side arms 38, 40 and the plate-like portion 28 in the assembled state of the coupling 18 on the connection location 12.

[0040] A nose-like projection 48 in the assembled state of the coupling 18 prevents the coupling 18 from becoming unintentionally released in the position thereof mounted on the connection location 12 (see FIG. 1).

[0041] The nose-like projection 28 is locatedas illustrated in FIG. 2apreferably in the transition region between the plate-like portion 28 and the lower portion 42.

[0042] FIG. 2b is a plan view of the coupling 18 according to FIG. 2a. In FIG. 2b, it can be seen that the T-shaped portion 36 is constructed in an asymmetrical manner with respect to the longitudinal center plane 50 of the coupling 18. The second upper side arm 40 is constructed to be longer than the first upper side arm 38. Alternatively or additionally, the lower portion 42 has a notch 52. The above-mentioned features facilitate the securing of the T-shaped portion 36 in the -shaped additional recess 34 (see FIG. 1). The T-shaped portion 36 may also be constructed symmetrically relative to the longitudinal center plane 50. If the additional recess 34 of the connection location 12 has a different shape, for example, a trapezoidal shape, the upper side arms 38, 40, the nose-like projection 48 and the length of the plate-like portion 28 have to be adapted accordingly. These are then additional embodiments of the invention.

[0043] In an overview of all the Figures of the drawings, the invention relates to a scaffolding 10 with a coupling 18 which can be mounted at a connection location 12. The connection location 12 preferably has in this instance a recess 32, 34 in the form of a through-recess in which an angular portion 30, 44, 46 of the coupling 18 can be at least partially introduced. The angular portion 30, 44, 46 preferably partially engages behind the connection location 12. The coupling 18 may have a half-coupling 22 so that a simple connection to a scaffolding pipe, in particular for connection to a facade, is produced. The invention further relates to a method for connecting the scaffolding 10 to such a coupling 18.
