- a device for leveling is provided on the two bars 11, 12 when both support points of the sprout part lie on the ground in different heights.
- an arcuate strut 14 is present, which as you can see in the transverse direction is wider than the sprout part and forms together with the two foot parts 15, 16 at their ends a lower stationary part of the conductor 10.
- a clamping device 20 is provided, after the release of the arcuate strut 14 relative to the two ladder struts 11, 12th can be displaced following an arc of its contour to a position in which the required level compensation results, so that the sprout part with the two bars 11, 12 is aligned vertically. When this position is reached, the clamping device 20 is actuated so that it defines the arcuate strut 14 in this position.
- the exact function of the mechanism of the clamping device 20 will be described below with reference to the further drawings FIGS. 3 to 5 explained in more detail.
- FIG. 3 shows an enlarged perspective view of a portion of the lower portion of the ladder 10, in which one can recognize a spar 12 of the ladder 10 and a portion of the arcuate strut 14 and the lowest ladder rung 13.

- the eccentricity results from the fact that the contact area of the eccentric head 33 from the pivot axis of the actuating lever 21 in the in FIG. 5 shown clamping position has a slightly greater distance than the support area, which results in pivoting of the actuating lever 21 by 90 ° in the released position.
- the actuating lever 21 moves with the eccentric head 33 when closing the clamping device via a dead center.
- the nut 35 on the opposite side of the two profile halves 22, 23 is as you look FIG. 5 detects, not directly on the profile half 23, but on an intermediate slightly elastic ring member 38 to facilitate pivoting when closing the clamping device beyond the dead center addition. By the dead center is also ensured that the actuating lever 21 remains in the closed position shown in FIG.
- a significant advantage of the clamping device according to the invention is that the clamping force is generated on the arcuate strut 14 by frictional engagement in the receptacle 24 around, but when tightening the clamping device no force component is created, which moves the tubular strut 14 against the ladder rung 13, as such Displacement of the tubular strut 14 on the ladder rung 13 leads to a deformation of the strut 14 or creating a game in their storage, which is problematic.

Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft eine Leiter umfassend zwei parallele Holme, zwischen diesen beiden Holmen in Querrichtung verlaufende Leitersprossen und ein in Querrichtung breiteres unteres Standteil mit zwei die Auflagepunkte auf dem Untergrund bildenden Standfüßen jeweils an den Enden, wobei eine Einrichtung für einen Niveauausgleich vorgesehen ist, sofern beide Auflagepunkte des Untergrunds in unterschiedlicher Höhe liegen.The present invention relates to a ladder comprising two parallel spars, between these two spars transversely extending ladder rungs and a wider transverse lower stand part with two support points on the ground forming feet respectively at the ends, wherein means for leveling is provided, if provided both contact points of the underground are at different heights.
Bei Sprossenleitern der genannten Art besteht das Problem, dass der Untergrund, auf dem diese aufgestellt wird, häufig nicht plan ist, sondern kleinere Unebeneinheiten aufweist oder aber auch eine schiefe Ebene in Richtung quer zu den beiden Leiterholmen aufweist. Dieses Problem besteht auch bei Leitern mit zwei Sprossenteilen, die so aufgestellt werden, dass beide Sprossenteile im spitzen Winkel zueinander ausgerichtet sind. Zur Lösung dieser Problematik sind verschiedene Vorschläge aus dem Stand der Technik bekannt geworden. Beispielsweise kann man einen Niveauausgleich dadurch schaffen, dass man das untere Standteil schwenkbar ausbildet, so dass dieses in einem Winkel zu der untersten Leitersprosse ausgerichtet ist und die beiden Auflagepunkte der Leiter dann in unterschiedlicher Höhe liegen. Es gibt auch andere Einrichtungen, die mit einer Klemmschraube arbeiten, was jedoch einerseits zu dem Problem führt, dass durch Druck der Klemmschraube auf eine Strebe diese aus ihrer ursprünglichen Lage gebracht wird und sich verbiegt oder Spiel an ihren Endpunkten bekommt. Durch dieses Spiel wird ein Kippen der Leiter veranlasst und die Standsicherheit beeinträchtigt. Außerdem ist die Bedienung solcher Klemmschrauben für den Einstellmechanismus zum Niveauausgleich umständlich. Weiter hat sich gezeigt, dass bei Leitern, die in der Regel im Freien benutzt werden, das Gewinde einer solchen Klemmschraube nach häufiger Betätigung schadhaft wird und sich die Schraube nicht mehr drehen lässt.In rung ladders of the type mentioned there is the problem that the substrate on which it is placed, is often not plan, but has smaller unevenness units or also has an inclined plane in the direction transverse to the two ladder beams. This problem also exists with ladders with two spine parts, which are set up so that both spit parts are aligned at an acute angle to each other. To solve this problem, various proposals from the prior art have become known. For example, you can create a level compensation by making the lower stand part pivotally, so that it is aligned at an angle to the bottom rung of the ladder and the two contact points of the ladder then lie at different heights. There are also other devices that work with a clamping screw, but on the one hand leads to the problem that is brought by pressure of the clamping screw on a strut from its original position and bends or gets game at their end points. This game causes a tilting of the ladder and the stability is impaired. In addition, the operation of such clamping screws for the adjustment mechanism for leveling is cumbersome. It has also been shown that in ladders, which are usually used outdoors, the thread of such a clamping screw after frequent Operation is defective and the screw can not turn.
Eine Leiter gemäß Oberbegriff des Anspruchs 1 ist aus
Die Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung besteht darin, eine Leiter der eingangs genannten Gattung zu schaffen, welche eine Einrichtung für einen Niveauausgleich aufweist, welche dauerhaft störungsfrei arbeitet und durch deren Betätigung die Standsicherheit der Leiter nicht beeinträchtigt wird.The object of the present invention is to provide a ladder of the type mentioned, which has a device for leveling, which works permanently trouble-free and their operation, the stability of the ladder is not affected.
Die Lösung dieser Aufgabe liefert eine erfindungsgemäße Leiter der eingangs genannten Gattung mit den kennzeichnenden Merkmalen des Hauptanspruchs.The solution to this problem provides a conductor according to the invention of the type mentioned above with the characterizing features of the main claim.
Erfindungsgemäß ist vorgesehen, dass für die Einrichtung zum Niveauausgleich eine bogenförmige Strebe vorgesehen ist, die Teil des breiteren unteren Standteils der Leiter ist. Die beiden Enden dieser bogenförmigen Strebe bilden die beiden Auflagepunkte mit den Standfüßen, mit denen die Leiter auf dem Untergrund aufsteht. Diese bogenförmige Strebe ist gegenüber den Leiterholmen auf einer Bogenlinie verschiebbar. Weiterhin ist eine Klemmvorrichtung vorgesehen, mittels derer die bogenförmige Strebe an der benachbarten untersten Leitersprosse festgelegt werden kann. Dabei ist die Klemmkraft dieser Klemmvorrichtung so ausgelegt, dass diese von der Seite her, d. h. bei aufgestellter Leiter im wesentlichen horizontal auf die bogenförmige Strebe einwirkt. Die Ausbildung der Klemmvorrichtung ist weiterhin so, dass bei deren Anziehen die bogenförmige Strebe nicht verbogen oder verlagert wird.According to the invention it is provided that for the device for leveling an arcuate strut is provided, which is part of the wider lower lower part of the ladder. The two ends of this arcuate strut form the two support points with the feet, with which the ladder rests on the ground. This arcuate strut is displaceable relative to the ladder struts on a curved line. Furthermore, a clamping device is provided, by means of which the arcuate strut can be fixed to the adjacent lowest ladder rung. The clamping force of this clamping device is designed so that these from the side, d. H. acts substantially horizontally on the arcuate strut when erected ladder. The formation of the clamping device is further such that when it is tightened, the arcuate strut is not bent or displaced.
Die Erfindung sieht vor, die Klemmvorrichtung zweiteilig auszubilden mit zwei etwa ähnlich geformten Hälften. Diese beiden Hälften können bei Betätigung eines Betätigungselements bei aufgestellter Leiter im wesentlichen horizontal gegeneinander gepresst werden. Diese beiden Hälften bilden im geschlossenen Zustand eine Aufnahme für die genannte bogenförmige Strebe. In der gelösten Position der Klemmvorrichtung ist diese bogenförmige Strebe dann in dieser Aufnahme entlang der Bogenlinie frei verschiebbar, während die bogenförmige Strebe in der Klemmstellung durch die Klemmkraft der beiden gegeneinander gepressten Hälften festgehalten wird.The invention provides, the clamping device in two parts form with two approximately similarly shaped halves. These two halves can be pressed against one another substantially horizontally upon actuation of an actuating element with erected conductor. These two halves form a receptacle for said arcuate strut in the closed state. In the released position of the clamping device, this arcuate strut is then freely displaceable in this recording along the arc line, while the arcuate strut in the Clamping position is held by the clamping force of the two halves pressed against each other.
Eine besonders bevorzugte Variante der Erfindung sieht vor, dass das Betätigungselement für die Klemmvorrichtung ein per Fuß betätigbarer Betätigungshebel ist. Auf diese Weise ist die Bedienung der Klemmvorrichtung besonders bequem, da sich die Bedienungsperson nicht bücken muss. Ein solcher Betätigungshebel kann beispielsweise in der gelösten Position sich etwa in horizontaler Lage befinden und etwa um 90° aus dieser horizontalen Lage durch Fußdruck von oben her in eine etwa vertikale Klemmposition bewegt werden. Die konstruktive Ausbildung dieses Klemmmechanismus sieht vor, dass der Betätigungshebel ein Exzenterhebel ist, bzw. ein Exzenterelement umfasst, welches derart wirkt, dass in der Klemmposition die beiden Profilhälften der Klemmvorrichtung gegeneinander gepresst werden und dadurch einen Formschluss bzw. Reibschluss an der bogenförmigen Strebe ausüben, wodurch diese unverschiebbar wird. Der Betätigungshebel mit dem Exzenterelement kann bei dieser Variante durch Ziehen ebenfalls per Fuß nach oben hin einfach gelöst werden. Anschließend wird die bogenförmige Strebe in die gewünschte Position verschoben und danach wird durch Druck von oben her per Fuß der Betätigungshebel wieder in die Klemmposition bewegt.A particularly preferred variant of the invention provides that the actuating element for the clamping device is an actuatable by foot operating lever. In this way, the operation of the clamping device is particularly convenient because the operator does not have to bend down. Such an actuating lever, for example, in the released position are approximately in a horizontal position and be moved by about 90 ° from this horizontal position by foot pressure from above into an approximately vertical clamping position. The structural design of this clamping mechanism provides that the actuating lever is an eccentric lever, or an eccentric element which acts in such a way that in the clamping position, the two profile halves of the clamping device are pressed against each other and thereby exert a positive connection or frictional engagement on the arcuate strut, which makes them immovable. The actuating lever with the eccentric element can be easily solved in this variant by pulling also by foot upwards. Subsequently, the arcuate strut is moved to the desired position and then the operating lever is moved back into the clamping position by pressure from above by foot.
Vorzugsweise ist außerdem die Klemmvorrichtung an der untersten Leitersprosse festgelegt, damit bei Verschieben der bogenförmigen Strebe zur Einstellung der entsprechenden Niveauausgleichsstellung die Klemmvorrichtung in ihrer Position gegenüber der untersten Leitersprosse verbleibt. Dies kann man gemäß einer bevorzugten Variante der Erfindung beispielsweise dadurch lösen, dass die Klemmvorrichtung eine obere Aufnahme aufweist, die die unterste Leitersprosse etwa formschlüssig umgibt und die an dieser festgelegt ist. D. h., dass die Klemmvorrichtung auch in der gelösten Stellung entlang der Leitersprosse unverschiebbar ist. Wenn man beispielsweise eine Klemmvorrichtung mit zwei etwa ähnlich geformten Hälften der genannten Art verwendet, weisen die beiden Hälften vorzugsweise in ihrem oberen Bereich die Aufnahme auf, die an der untersten Leitersprosse festgelegt ist und in ihrem unteren Bereich weisen sie die Aufnahme für die bogenförmige Strebe auf, in der die bogenförmige Strebe nach Lösen der Klemmvorrichtung verschiebbar ist.Preferably, moreover, the clamping device is fixed to the lowermost ladder rung, so that when moving the arcuate strut to adjust the corresponding leveling position, the clamping device remains in its position relative to the lowermost ladder rung. This can be solved according to a preferred variant of the invention, for example, by the fact that the clamping device has an upper receptacle which surrounds the lowermost ladder rung approximately positively and which is fixed to this. D. h. That the clamping device is immovable even in the released position along the ladder rung. For example, if one uses a clamping device with two approximately similarly shaped halves of the type mentioned, the two halves preferably have in their upper region of the receptacle, which is fixed to the lowest ladder rung and in its lower Area they have the receptacle for the arcuate strut, in which the arcuate strut is displaced after loosening the clamping device.
Die bogenförmige Strebe kann beispielsweise eine Rohrstrebe sein, die im Querschnitt flachoval, oval oder rund ist. Die Aufnahme der Klemmvorrichtung, die vorzugsweise durch die beiden Profilhälften gebildet wird, ist dann entsprechend diesem Querschnitt der Rohrstrebe geformt. Die Aufnahme der beiden Profilhälften für die untere Leitersprosse ist in der Regel etwa rechteckig, da derartige Leitersprossen häufig ebenfalls im Umriss etwa rechteckig sind. Die Klemmvorrichtung kann beispielsweise aus zwei stranggepressten Profilhälften hergestellt werden, die jeweils ähnlich geformt sind.The arcuate strut may, for example, be a tubular strut which is flat oval, oval or round in cross section. The recording of the clamping device, which is preferably formed by the two profile halves, is then shaped according to this cross section of the tube strut. The inclusion of the two profile halves for the lower rung of the ladder is usually approximately rectangular, since such ladder rungs are often also approximately rectangular in outline. The clamping device can be made for example of two extruded profile halves, each shaped similarly.
Das Exzenterelement des Betätigungshebels kann beispielsweise so ausgebildet sein, dass der Betätigungshebel bei Umlegen aus der gelösten in die Klemmposition durch die Änderung des Achsabstands eines Exzenterkopfs einen Zug auf ein Zugelement ausübt, welches an einer der beiden Profilhälften ein Widerlager hat. Dadurch wird bei Herunterdrücken des Betätigungshebels die eine der beiden Profilhälften angezogen und gegen die andere Profilhälfte gepresst.The eccentric element of the actuating lever can for example be designed so that the operating lever exerts a train on a tension element when moving from the dissolved into the clamping position by changing the center distance of an eccentric, which has an abutment on one of the two profile halves. As a result, upon depression of the actuating lever, one of the two profile halves is tightened and pressed against the other profile half.
