Definitions

  • the invention relates to a component for a modular system, for example for scaffolding. Both walkable scaffolds and scaffolds for toy construction are conceivable.
  • Scaffolding is currently being assembled from bars or rods that are arranged both vertically and horizontally. These parts are connected to each other by means of screws and fastened to each other, which are inserted through corresponding holes on or in the components and secured in the assembly position with the aid of nuts.
  • Such scaffolds are not only expensive, but also require a lot of manual work for assembly and disassembly.
  • the invention has for its object to provide a simply constructed and also simple and expedient to use component for modular systems, for example for scaffolding, which is easy to handle and in particular requires little manual labor if you build a scaffold from such components.
  • This object is achieved according to the invention with a component which has a rod-like or bar-like base body, at the two ends of which a connector with a profiled cross section is provided.
  • a component which has a rod-like or bar-like base body, at the two ends of which a connector with a profiled cross section is provided.
  • any scaffolding or the like by simple plug connections. build up, the plug connection is generally sufficient to connect the individual parts of such a scaffold or other modular system sufficiently firmly together.
  • the cross-sectional profile of the connector is octagonal.
  • a cross-sectional profile enables a good interlocking connection between the individual components to be plugged together, the plug being able to be both positive and negative, i.e. can either be a plug element or a receptacle for such a plug element. Due to the octagonal design of the cross section, the components according to the invention can be assembled quickly and easily without having to pay attention to how their positions are relative to one another.
  • the cross-sectional profile of the plug has a flat, wavy contour.
  • a contour has the advantage that it can be injection molded from plastic with relatively simple tools, since the corresponding tools do not have to have undercuts.
  • it was found that such a cross-sectional profile is sufficient to achieve a positive connection of sufficient strength.
  • the tolerances of the matching cross-sectional profiles can be selected so that a friction-based, sufficiently strong, force-locking plug-in connection is achieved, which ensures that structures such as scaffolds that are put together from such components hold together with sufficient stability.
  • rod-shaped or rod-shaped extensions each with a plug at the outer end, can be provided on the rod-like or base-like base body of the component according to the invention.
  • Such components can be used as corner connectors for scaffolding or for connecting several simple rod-like or rod-like base bodies or components.
  • the component according to the invention can also consist of other materials such as metal.
  • the component (1) shown in Figure 1 has a rod-like base body (2), at one end of which a positive plug (3) with a profiled cross section is provided, while the other end contains a blind hole (4) which has the same contour as the plug (3) and is therefore suitable and intended for inserting the plug (3) of a corresponding or similarly designed component.
  • the component (5) from Figure 2 also has a rod-like base body (6), at the two ends of which a positive plug (3) is arranged.
  • radially protruding rod-shaped lugs (7) are provided approximately in the central region of the base body (6), in the exemplary embodiment shown a total of four such lugs, each of these lugs (7) having a positive plug (3) at the outer end.
  • This component (5) is suitable as a corner connection or node for a scaffold, components (1) of the type shown in FIG. 1 being able to be attached to this node by placing these rod-like components with their blind holes (4) on the connectors (3). the component (5).
  • both ends of the component (1) can also be of identical design. It is also possible for the component (5) according to FIG. 2 to also provide negative plugs in the form of blind holes (4) at the ends of the rod-like base body (6) and the lugs (7) instead of the positive plugs (3) shown there. You will choose the most appropriate embodiment for each application.
  • Figure 3 shows that the connector (3) have an approximately octagonal cross-section, the contour line (8) in the form of flat waves to avoid undercuts.
  • the blind holes (4) have a corresponding contour so that plugs (3) fit into blind holes (4). Care is taken to ensure that the contour line has no undercuts, so that the profiles can be produced from plastic with relatively simple tools, for example by injection molding.
