Definitions

  • the invention relates to a support device for supporting parts of stands or scaffolding with height-adjustable foot pieces, each having a foot plate and an attached, upstanding, height-adjustable plug-in element which can be connected to the stem located above it.
  • Length-adjustable scaffolding rods are known from DE-A-31 41 367 and DE-U-19 75 449.
  • the first-mentioned solution uses claws with safety hooks which are open at the ends and which are placed over round scaffolding tubes and are therefore not suitable for foot support.
  • the nested, extendable pipes are secured against unwanted pulling out with an encompassing coupling and a swivel-mounted safety pin that engages in pipe bores and with a safety wedge on the half-shell coupling.
  • the rod is not continuously adjustable and is therefore not suitable for footrests.
  • two nested tubes with pin connection are provided in the dressing stick according to DE-U-19 75 449.
  • the eye heads provided at the ends can be screwed with an external thread into the internal thread bores of the end plates of the two slidably inserted pipe parts.
  • the principles of these extendable scaffolding bars and their securing against unintentional lengthening or shortening can be used in part in the invention, as is dealt with in the description and in and to the subclaims.
  • DE-A-28 22 676 shows how a diagonal bar is attached via a joint with a connection head to the perforated disc of a scaffold post with the aid of a wedge.
  • Such a configuration is used in the bracing according to the invention.
  • it is not intended for supporting spindle feet, but rather for general use and is accordingly designed accordingly.
  • FR-A-10 83 500 shows tubular connecting elements with outwardly projecting tabs and pins, through whose transverse recesses locking wedges can be inserted. Similar configurations can be used on the foot pieces according to the invention. According to this document, they are intended for the attachment of diagonal bars in the context of a usual spatial lattice support structure of a grandstand, but not for the inclined support of length-adjustable foot pieces.
  • DE-A-14 09 400 shows a grandstand or a similar spatial structure in which no similarities are discernible with regard to the present invention.
  • Vertical, non-perforated, bolt-free approaches are also provided in the area of the foot plates welded directly to the square vertical supports, which, among other approaches, are attached to other parts of the stand supporting structure and are used to protect one another from lifting, but not to connect struts.
  • DE-U-17 92 386 shows a foot, in particular a spindle foot for scaffolding or the like.
  • a pin is provided laterally as a receptacle for the connection of a strut or a spacer or the like, which is equipped with a securing swivel tab.
  • Horizontal struts corresponding to the grid system of the scaffolding to be erected are to be attached to these pegs so that the feet are immediately and securely spaced from one another at the intended places so that the scaffolding can be erected above them. Extendable diagonal struts to prevent these feet from dodging at higher spindles are neither dealt with nor suggested here.
  • a support foot device for a raised floor slab system is known.
  • Star-shaped flange carriers are provided at the upper ends of the support feet.
  • Horizontal bracing angles for the base plates or base plates are placed directly on the star arms.
  • Tabs with transverse holes are provided below the star arms for connecting the end eyes of oblique struts.
  • the one-piece support tubes have screw-in and screw-out spindles at their lower ends, which in turn carry the footplates at the lower ends.
  • the footplates are designed in one piece with four upstanding brackets with cross holes.
  • the lower eye heads of the diagonal struts can be plugged into these Screw bolts are secured.
  • two oblique struts are connected to a foot piece. Others can be connected. Details about a possible extension of the diagonal struts are not available. A use and adaptation to spatial structures of grandstands or the like is not provided. The assembly using the screws and suitable diagonal struts is time-consuming.
  • the invention has for its object to provide in the lower areas of the foot piece against lateral forces supporting device of the type mentioned so that it allows simple and safe way without additional effort on disassembly and assembly handles required on-site height adjustments and the components are equipped with easy-to-use connecting means that safely initiate the forces that occur in the structure and suitable, quick and safe-to-use length adjustment means.
  • the foot piece is equipped with at least two connection devices for each an inclined strut leading to a spaced-apart perforated disk of the supporting parts, and wherein the oblique struts are infinitely variable in length with adjusting spindle are fastened between the connection devices and the support part and the oblique struts at the connection ends for the support parts have articulated connection heads with a wedge for the horizontal perforated disks.
  • inclined struts with adjusting spindle are continuously variable in length with the foot piece and a suitable element of the supporting parts, lateral forces can be found in the lowest area of the grandstand or scaffolding or the like due to the lighter and support precise setting much improved. The effort for this is relatively low. Thanks to the infinitely length-adjustable design, the height setting can be adapted very precisely in the respective application.
  • the inclined strut is variable in length and securely attached to the supporting parts of the scaffolding or the grandstand; at least at one end with an articulated plug-on head with a wedge for a horizontal perforated disc. This gives you very well-defined connection conditions and easy installation conditions for secure, high-strength connections.
  • connection means on the foot piece can be designed in various ways and z.
  • B. embrace the vertical spindles or insertion elements of the foot pieces in any clamping form.
  • a suitable form of the connection means on the foot piece sees a vertical plate with a laterally protruding pin with a securing hole or other security device on which the eye head can be plugged.
  • a length adjustment in fine steps of half a pitch of the thread can then be achieved. Because of the wedge head on the horizontal perforated disc with an articulated connection of the strut tube, this can be handled particularly well also in the area near the ground. Since lateral forces are generally not only to be supported in a preferred direction, extendable inclined struts are provided to support lateral deflection in two directions.
  • the grandstand 50 has a supporting structure on which the running floors 52 of the individual ranks 53.1 to 53.n are supported.
  • the side edge 54 is provided with a side railing 55 and the top tier 53.n is provided with a rear railing 58 at its rear edge 57.
  • the supporting structure contains supporting parts 51 and is with foot pieces 60, grandstand starting pieces 61, starting cheeks 62 for the lowest rank 53.1, cheek pieces 63 for second to fourth rank, cheek pieces 64 for higher ranks with a small or medium gradient, cheek pieces 65 for higher ranks with a larger one Incline and cheek parts 66 constructed for two ranks each with a low, medium or large gradient.
  • These cheek parts are supported on stems 67, which are formed from scaffolding material from conventional scaffolding.
  • These stems 67 have perforated disks 70 spaced apart from one another HR1.
  • the grandstand start pieces 61 and the stems 67 are each fitted onto the foot pieces 60 in a known manner and are supported with their lower ends on the nuts 71 of the foot pieces 60. These can be used for height compensation.
  • the stems 67 can be put together from several parts at greater heights.
  • Horizontal bars 73, diagonal bars 74 and stiffening frames 75 are provided for stiffening the stems 67 with one another.
  • These each have at their connection ends the connection heads 80 known from general scaffolding technology, which have horizontal slots by means of which they are inserted over the perforated disks 70.
  • Wedge slots 76 which can be inserted through wedge slots in the connection heads 80 serve for the respective fixed connection in a known manner.
  • the stiffening frames 75 are each equipped with at least two diagonal bars 77.1 and 77.2 or further diagonal bars labeled with corresponding decimal digits. They have horizontal bars 78.1 and 78.2 as well as laterally lying vertical bars 79.1 and 79.2 and a connection head 80 in each corner.
  • This stiffening frame 75 which is arranged approximately like a checkerboard pattern, but spatially distributed accordingly, can also be used to secure a large grandstand 50 with certainty perpendicularly and perpendicularly can be set up cheaply and quickly. Where no stiffening frames 75 seem sensible, simple diagonal bars 74 are arranged. The arrangement of these stiffening frames 75 and diagonal bars 74 results schematically from the illustration in FIG.
  • the foot piece 60 consists of a conventional foot plate 111, which has, for example, four fastening bores 112.
  • a conventional threaded spindle 114 is fastened in an upstanding manner on this. This has a length suitable for the intended use, which depends on the dimensioning.
  • a nut 115 which has handle parts 116, is arranged on it in a height-adjustable manner.
  • the respective support 67 of the support device is supported in a known manner on its upper support surface 117 in a height-adjustable manner.
  • a locking sleeve 120 which has a length 121, is inserted in the lower region over the threaded spindle 114. At an angle of 90 °, it laterally carries two vertical plates 122 which are welded to the securing sleeve 120 and the base plate 111. The securing sleeve 120 is also welded to the base plate 111 and the threaded spindle 114 by means of the weld seams 123, so that they form a stable unit. Both vertical plates 122 have pegs 125 in the middle with locking bores 126 for inserting one pin each.
  • the pins 125 are intended for sloping struts 130. These represent an embodiment of the oblique struts 85 according to FIG. 1.
  • the oblique strut 130 consists of a tube part 131, an eye head 132, a length adjustment device 133 and a connection head 134.
  • the connection head 134 is connected in the usual way by means of a joint 135 the pipe part 131 articulated so that the slot 136 can be inserted horizontally over a corresponding perforated disk 70 and secured with the wedge 76.
  • the eye head 132 is designed as a flat part with a thickness that corresponds to the dimension 141 between the outer wall 142 and the securing bore 126 of the pins 125.
  • the diameter of the plug-in bore 143 corresponds to the diameter of the pin 125.
  • the eye head has a tube part 146 which has an internally threaded part 147 at the end.
  • An adjustment spindle 148 is screwed into this.
  • the adjusting spindle 148 is welded into the tube part 131 of the oblique strut 130 with suitable intermediate parts 149 in the region of the end 150.
  • the entire strut is given a length that allows unscrewing to the required length in a diagonal field.
  • the securing sleeve 120 with its vertical plates 122 can also be designed as an additional part. It is then simply plugged on and secured with a further smaller nut on the threaded spindle 114. Fuses with pins are also possible. You can replace the simple pin attachment with other hanging means.
  • the support device for supporting parts of stands or scaffolding has a height-adjustable foot piece (60) with a foot plate (111), a threaded spindle (114) and a conventional nut (115).
  • Vertical plates (122) are fastened to a securing sleeve (120). These have pins (125).
  • the eye heads (132) of oblique struts (130) are plugged onto the pins (125), which are fastened in a suitable manner to the supporting elements of the supporting parts of stands or scaffolding.
