Description

Field of the invention

The invention relates to a scaffold support according to the preamble of claim 1, a bearing element and a method according to the independent claims.

State of the art

Gabions are known from the prior art, which are increasingly used in recent years as a replacement for masonry or concrete walls. Furthermore, from the prior art console scaffolds are known, which can be fixed to work platforms on walls.

With the increasing use of gabions over two meters high or gabions in difficult terrain, there is a need to provide gabions with console scaffolds.

However, the attachment of the framework to the wire mesh of the gabion has proven to be problematic in the use of console frames on gabions. The background is that the wires of gabions have a comparatively small thickness and also have stapling points between the wires, which withstand only a limited tensile force.

Disclosure of the invention

The object of the invention is to provide a scaffold support, a bearing element and a method for attaching a gabion console scaffold, which are improved over the prior art and in particular allow a reliable connection between the scaffold support and gabion.

The object is achieved with a scaffold support according to claim 1 and a bearing element and a method according to the independent claims. Advantageous developments emerge from the subclaims.

The scaffold support is preferably adapted to be used in a console framework for gabions, the console scaffold being adapted to carry workers. For this purpose, the framework support on a beam which is aligned horizontally, and a support which is vertically aligned, and whose upper end is connected to an inner end of the beam. Here, the inner end means the end of the beam, which points to the side of the gabion with a mounted scaffolding support. The beams and struts are preferably still connected by a strut which extends between a portion of the lower end of the strut and a portion of an outer end of the beam.

With the bearing element is achieved that a reliable connection between the connecting means of the scaffold support and the wire mesh of the gabion is created. The connecting means is preferably a hook, which engages from above into a receptacle of the bearing element. The receptacle is preferably formed as a pocket, which is open at the top and preferably also at the bottom, that is, for example, is formed by a curved metal strip.

Furthermore, the bearing element preferably comprises at least three hooks, each of which is adapted to be hooked into a wire of the gabion. Preferably, at least four hooks are arranged, wherein the hooks are preferably arranged at the same height. This offers the advantage that regardless of a vertical mesh size of the gabion, the bearing element can be used on different gabions. The provision of three, better four or even more hooks has the advantage that the gabion is loaded over a greater width, so that a failure of the suspension is avoided.

Preferably, the connecting means is arranged below a longitudinal axis of the beam, more preferably an upper end of the connecting means, preferably an upper end of the hook of the connecting means, a minimum distance to a lower edge of the beam of 3 cm, more preferably the distance to a lower edge of the beam at least 5 cm, more preferably at least 10 cm. This offers the advantage of leaving room for a load balancing bar between the beam and above the connecting means. The load balancing beam is preferably arranged on the gabion such that it at least partially overlaps at least part of a plate of the bearing element.

The bearing element preferably has a plate, wherein on one side of the plate, the receptacle and on the other side of the plate, the hooks are arranged. By spreading the plate and attaching the load balancing bar at several points on the gabion, the tensile load of the scaffolding is distributed to a larger part of the gabion. Preferably, the load balancing beam is arranged before connecting the scaffolding support with the bearing element.

Particularly preferably, the load-balancing bar is designed with a length of at least 50 cm, more preferably at least 80 cm or a maximum length of 100 cm or 150 cm. In preferred methods of the invention, the Load balancing bar attached to the bearing element to the gabion before connecting the connecting means of the scaffold support, so that the bearing element is secured.

Preferred scaffolding supports comprise an angular bearing element, wherein on each leg of the bearing element at least one, more preferably two hooks are arranged, which are each suitable to be hooked into a wire of the gabion. In this way, also at the corners of gabions console scaffolding can be built. Such a bearing element preferably comprises two receptacles, one on each leg for suspending in each case a connecting means of a support.

A preferred aspect of the invention is a support member for a scaffold support in one of the typical embodiments described herein. Such a bearing element has at least one, two or three, more preferably at least four hooks for hooking into a wire of the gabion. Preferred bearing elements are angular and comprise two legs, each with a receptacle for a corner of a gabion.

Preferably, the framework support comprises further connection means, which are arranged on the support below the first connection means. This offers the advantage that the load can be distributed to several bearing elements, which are hung on the gabion. Preferably, the scaffold support therefore comprises a plurality of bearing elements. The first connecting means is the above-mentioned connecting means, which is arranged with a certain minimum distance to an upper edge of the beam.

Preferably, the scaffold support comprises a lower support disposed on the support for abutment with a gabion, the lower support having a total width of at least 15 cm. In this case, the total width is the width which is spanned by the two outer ends of the support. A total width of at least 20 cm or better 30 cm is preferred in order to allow the widest possible load introduction into the gabion.

Preferably, the support comprises two angles, which are attached to both sides of the support. The angles offer the advantage that they are easy to manufacture and arrange and also allow a wide load transfer.

Preferably, the scaffold support comprises a post disposed at the outer end of the beam and an end rail which is insertable into an upper end of the post. The end guardrail preferably includes a fork at a lower crossbar which engages around the post. The fork is preferably made of two laterally attached to the lower crossbars tabs.
