Definitions

  • the invention relates to a clamp connection for assembling prefabricated components from profile bars to a scaffolding.
  • Such scaffolding usually has lateral frame elements each consisting of two vertical stands and horizontal crossbars connecting the stands, to which the profile bars are attached essentially or alternatively also to short bracket pieces of the same or similar cross section fastened to the stands, the profile bars already being closed an assembly can be assembled and its longitudinal axes on which the crossbar or bracket pieces are perpendicular and furthermore the profile bars can be placed obliquely or perpendicularly from above onto the crossbars or bracket pieces at their end regions serving for the connection with the crossbars or bracket pieces.
  • Clamp connections of this type are required to a large extent, in particular in scaffolding, in order to connect the frame elements, covering platforms, spars, struts and similar components to one another safely and quickly and to be able to solve them again, especially in the case of scaffolding consisting of prefabricated components.
  • the crossbars and bracket pieces are designed with a constant cross section adapted to the clamp connection.
  • the invention has set itself the task of designing such clamp connections, which are required in very large numbers, so that they consist of components that can be produced cheaply in large numbers in a highly productive process, in particular in the extrusion process, or from commercially available standard parts exist, in which, however, high-stress, load-bearing weld seams can be dispensed with.
  • the object is achieved in that at the end regions of the profiled bars there is in each case a recess overlapping the crossbars or the console pieces, the axis of symmetry of which is directed transversely to the longitudinal axis of the profiled bars and which is in each case opened with a slot towards the underside of the associated profiled bar, so that it can be slipped over the associated cross bar or bracket piece, that the recess is further dimensioned so that the profile bar rests in the direction of its longitudinal axis on the cross bar or bracket piece, and that finally at least partially parallel to the end regions of the profile bars the longitudinal axis of the respective profile bar displaceable and lockable clamping pieces are provided, which in one Close position, covering the slot of the respective recess, clamp the cross bar or the bracket piece in this recess of the profile bar.
  • Such a clamp connection manages with very few additional connecting elements and without load-bearing welded connections.
  • the form-fitting connection of the respective component to a crossbar or a bracket piece is ensured by the frictional engagement of the clamping piece in the position predetermined by the positive engagement, which can be carried out with low operating force, so that a secure clamping connection can be achieved.
  • the recesses in the intermediate rails of a railing located on the scaffolding can therefore remain unlocked if they form a fixed railing frame with the railing rails of this railing and the railing rails are already equipped with clamping connections according to the invention.
  • the area of the wall of the recess lying on the cross bar or the bracket piece is best shaped such that it lies on the cross bar or the bracket piece in a roughly touching manner, because then the surface pressure is low and deformations can be excluded.
  • a locking device is provided, with the aid of which the clamping piece can be locked with respect to the recess at least in a closed and an open position. With appropriate training the locking device any intermediate positions are possible.
  • the clamping piece can be such that it is designed as a parallel to the associated profile bar profile piece;
  • the clamping piece is advantageously provided in the direction of its longitudinal axis on a web suitable as a clamping surface with an elongated hole which is penetrated by a bolt of the locking device which can be screwed onto the profile bar.
  • the clamping piece on the profile piece is stationary and cannot be lost, axially movable and can be fixed in any position.
  • the clamp connection is particularly handy if the bolt is designed as a threaded bolt and the clamp piece can be clamped by means of a grip nut located on the bolt; it goes without saying that other operating elements are also conceivable, for example a toggle lever operation.
  • the parallelism of the clamping piece and the profiled rod should be ensured, for example by providing a spacer between the web and the profiled rod, for example a nut fastened to the clamping piece or the profiled rod, which serves at the same time to extend the nut thread for the threaded bolt.
  • a pressure surface of the clamping piece which can be clamped to the crossbar or the bracket piece follows the cross-sectional shape of the crossbar, so that together with the wall of the recess the clamped cross section is applied on all sides and is exposed to the risk of deformation.
  • a particularly good storage of the clamping piece is achieved one if the profile bar is designed as a rectangular hollow profile and the clamping piece as a U-profile and the straps of the U-profile rest against the side walls of the profile bar.
  • a covering platform a mostly diagonal longitudinal or transverse strut, a longitudinal or transverse railing or intermediate rail of the railing or another similar component can be connected to a crossbar or a bracket piece on a stand.
  • these components have the same cross section in their profile bars, a single design of the few components used and the recess on the profile bars is sufficient for all clamping connections.
  • FIG. 1 A typical scaffolding is shown in FIG. 1, which is provided here with a chassis. It consists of a number of components that recur with such scaffolding.
  • Lateral, multi-part frame elements 1 consist of vertical uprights 11 and horizontal crossbars 12 connecting uprights 11, which are also used here as ladder rungs and are welded to uprights 11 in a correspondingly narrow division. They are therefore well suited for connecting the frame element 1 to the other components of the scaffolding.
  • Short bracket pieces can be provided on the stands 11, in particular if connections of other components are required at locations where a cross bar 12 is not available, for example if cross struts have to be connected.
  • the following explanations, which generally relate to crossbar 12 also apply in the same sense to console pieces of this type, which are not taken into account in the drawing.
  • two horizontal covering platforms 2 are fastened to the frame elements 1, of which the upper covering platform 2a has a passage 21 which can be closed with a flap 22 (FIG. 7) and is delimited by transverse and longitudinal rims 23 and 24.
  • the covering platform 2a is secured by a railing 3, which consists of railing bars 31, intermediate bars 32 and connecting pieces 33 (FIG. 6); the lower platform 2b does not need a railing 3.
  • longitudinal struts 41 are also cross struts, if appropriate Bracing 4 is provided, which, together with the covering platforms 2, give the scaffolding the necessary rigidity.
  • the crossbars 12 suitably consist like the stands 11 of circular cylindrical tubes; other profiles are conceivable and can also be easily connected to the clamp connection according to the invention, which is then to be designed slightly differently.
  • all the other components are composed of profile bars P, which in cross section consist of a rectangular hollow profile, as can be seen in particular from FIGS. 4 and 5.
  • profile bars P can instead be provided with a differently shaped cross section; however, this advantageously has the same dimensions, regardless of the respective component, so that uniformly dimensioned clamp connections are possible and only a few different components are required.
  • the area of a clamp connection according to the invention can be seen in detail in FIGS. 8 and 9.
  • the profile rod P is closed (on both sides) with a stopper S.
  • a recess PA is located in an end region PF of the profile bar P and follows the profile of the cross bar 12 in its upper region PA1 with an axis of symmetry PQ transverse to the longitudinal axis PL of the profile bar P and in the direction of the longitudinal axis 121 (FIG. 4) of the cross bar 12 , so that there the recess PA rests flat on the associated cross bar 12.
  • a slot PA2 opens the recess PA towards the underside PU of the profile bar P and is dimensioned such that the profile bar P lies over the cross bar 12 with only slight play in the direction of its longitudinal axis PL.
  • Insertion bevels PE make it easier to overlap the transom 12.
  • a bolt 51 of a locking device 5 is provided on the profile rod P with a thread 51a in a stationary but screwable manner; a welded to the profile bar P spacer PD extends the nut thread of the thread 51a and ensures that a clamping piece 6 there is such a distance from the profile bar P that it is approximately parallel when the associated cross bar 12 is placed in the recess PA and is overlaid by the clamping piece 6.
  • a handle 52 fixed to the bolt 51 facilitates operation.
  • the clamping piece 6 is designed as a U-shaped profile, the straps 61 of which rest against the side walls PS of the associated profile bar P, comprising this with a slight play, while the connecting web 62 strikes the spacer piece PD.
  • an elongated hole 62a (FIG. 5) is broken through in the direction of the longitudinal axis 64 of the clamping piece 6, which is penetrated by the bolt 51 and makes the clamping piece 6 displaceable to a limited extent.
  • the arrangement is such that (in FIG. 8) the clamping piece 6 can be shifted to the right to such an extent that the slot PA2 is no longer covered.
  • the position of the clamping piece 6 shown in FIG. 8 corresponds to the final one in the assembled state of FIG. 4.
  • the clamping piece 6 then loads the cross bar 12 with a pressure surface 63 in the two belts 61, the shape of which is adapted to the cross section of the cross bar 12 in such a way that a flat contact is ensured and the surface pressure is bearable.
