Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to the attachment of a scaffolding console to any structural element, and in practice it is most often a rafter.
  • the fixing means used for securing such flanges to a rafter comprise a plurality of clamping axes, of the screw-nut type, in number, in practice, of two, and, jointly, the attachment means associated with said flanges to allow a scaffolding console to be hitched therein employ two pins, each subject, respectively, to each of these flanges, on a part of it offset transversely for this purpose with respect to its current part.
  • Such a device has various drawbacks.
  • the multiplicity of the clamping axes to be implemented leads to the need to allocate an equal number of bores to the structural element to be fitted, to the detriment of its integrity, and to the detriment the number of operations to be carried out both when fitting the flanges concerned and when removing them.
  • clamping axes thus used which, in practice, are limited to pressing against the frame element the flanges which they enclose, may be insufficient to allow compliance with standards security, at least for some countries.
  • the present invention generally relates to an arrangement which, suitable for the attachment of a scaffolding console to any structural element, in practice a rafter, is advantageously free of these drawbacks, and furthermore leads to other advantages.
  • a fastening device of the kind comprising two flanges suitable for being each disposed respectively on either side of the structural element to be fitted, fixing means suitable for securing said flanges to the latter, and hooking means, which, associated with said flanges, are suitable for making it possible to attach a scaffolding console to it
  • this hooking device being generally characterized in that said fastening means comprise, in combination, on the one hand, two grooved rollers, which, engaged on the same clamping axis, are intended to be attached to the lateral faces of the frame element to be fitted, each being respectively arranged on either side of it, and, on the other hand, intervening between the flanges, being integral, at least transversely with respect to said clamping axis, of one and the other of these, a clean heel to wear on the tran che said frame member, said flanges further comprising, each, away from said bearing heel, a buttonhole by which they can be each respectively engaged on the corresponding grooved
  • a single clamping axis is used, which advantageously simplifies the operations to be carried out, both at installation and at removal.
  • the washers with claws thus implemented advantageously make it possible, by interesting in depth a relatively significant area of said frame element, by embedding therein, to easily meet the most stringent safety standards in the matter.
  • the attachment means used to allow a scaffolding console to be coupled to the flanges thus fixed include, in particular, a crosspiece capable of extending transversely from one of these flanges to the other, perpendicular to those -this.
  • Such a cross member can for example be carried in a unitary manner by one of the flanges, perpendicular to the latter, the other of said flanges having, for its engagement on this cross member, an opening complementary to the cross section thereof.
  • it may be formed by two half-crosspieces, which, each secured to one of said flanges respectively, are adapted to be secured to each other between them.
  • such a cross member which, of course, is established so as to be resistant to bending, advantageously involves both of the flanges simultaneously, without development thereon. of any effort in cantilever likely to cause deformation.
  • the attachment means used to attach a scaffolding console to the flanges may also include, if desired, in addition to the preceding cross member, or as a replacement for this, two notches affecting each respectively, in a similar manner, said flanges, in correspondence from one to the other of these, with their concavity directed in the direction opposite to the associated support heel.
  • Such indentations indeed advantageously allow the possible establishment of a crosspiece extending freely from one of the flanges to the other, and said crosspiece, which can, of course, be used for the attachment of a scaffolding console in line with the structural element concerned, can also, if desired, by extending from one structural element to another, allow the attachment of such a scaffolding console between two such structural elements.
  • the attachment device according to the invention is particularly simple, and economical to produce and to assemble.
  • the fastening device 10 comprises, in a manner known per se, for the attachment of a scaffolding console, not shown, to a structural element, in practice a chevron 11, two flanges 12A, 12B, suitable for being disposed each on each side of such a chevron 11, fixing means, detailed below, suitable for securing said flanges 12A, 12B to the latter, and hooking means, also detailed below, which, associated with said flanges 12A, 12B, are suitable for making it possible to attach such a scaffolding console to it.
