Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an anchoring device for scaffolding elements.
  • the present anchoring device is of the type comprising a body welded to an end of a tubular transverse scaffolding element and destined to be connected by means of a locking wedge to a hooking plate provided by a scaffolding standard.
  • anchoring devices of the above-mentioned type are utilized for connecting a tubular transverse scaffolding element with an horizontal plate provided with radial slots, in the technical jargon said "multi-directional plate", provided by a standard and that the very connection is obtained forcing a locking wedge, in the technical jargon simply said "wedge”, through a vertical opening of the anchoring device and a slot of the multi-directional plate. An end of a walkboard is then hooked to the transverse scaffolding element.
  • GB 2 197 418 and US 408364 disclose scaffolding elements and joints thereof.
  • the main object of the present invention is to eliminate, or at least drastically reduce, the mentioned drawbacks.
  • the present invention makes it possible to connect, either in a fixed or removable manner, further structural or auxiliary elements to the anchoring device body. It is also possible to avoid the clearance along the walkboards and to approach the walkboards close to the standards supporting the multi-directional plates. Furthermore, an anchoring device according to the present invention is structurally simple, inexpensive and reliable even after a prolonged use.
  • An anchoring device is of the type comprising a body (1) welded to an end of a tubular transverse scaffolding element and intended to be connected by means of a locking wedge (5) to a hooking plate (3) provided by a scaffolding standard (4).
  • said body (1) is welded on one end only (the right-side end in the drawing) of a transverse element (2) which, on the opposite end, is welded to a standard (20); the transverse (2) and the standard (20) form a partial asymmetric T-profiled frame which, in the technical jargon is called "crippled frame".
  • the scaffolding is built as shown in Fig.2 , by assembling crippled frames and standards (4, 40).
  • said body (1) is welded to both ends of a transverse element (2), so that the latter is provided with two anchoring devices for its connection to two plates (3), each plate being provided by a respective standard (4).
  • the multi-directional plate (3) is of the type comprising a central hole (30) for the positioning thereof onto a standard (4), a plurality of peripheral through holes (31) each of which allowing the hooking of a hook-shaped member of a prefabricated frame, and a plurality of radial slots (32), resulting between the said peripheral holes (31), in each of which it is possible to insert a locking wedge (5).
  • the plate (3) can be of the type shown in Fig.13 and Fig.14 , i.e. of the type wherein the radial slots (32) are suitably shaped to allow the hooking of both hook-shaped members of prefabricated frames and the insertion of locking wedges.
  • the vertical elements (4, 20, 40) of the scaffolding frames are provided with vertical bushes (6) and horizontal bushes (60) to each of which a hook-shaped end of a diagonal or lateral scaffolding element can be hooked.
  • the anchoring device (1) has a front surface (10) facing a respective standard (4). Said surface (10) is interrupted by a transverse opening, or "mouth”, (11) for its positioning on the desired plate (3). Furthermore, the device (1) has a rear projecting portion (12) inserted within an end of a transverse scaffolding element (2), i.e. the end in correspondence of which the device is welded to the transverse scaffolding element. The device (1) has also a longitudinal slit (13) through which the locking wedge (5) is inserted.
  • the locking wedge (5) has a body with a front surface (50) and a rear surface (51), and an upper portion or head (52).
  • the upper portion (52) of the locking wedge is a convex plate, the convexity thereof being oriented upwardly, which is centrally positioned on top of the wedge body, thus forming two identical wings projecting downwardly on both sides of the wedge body.
  • the head (52) of the locking wedge (5) is, in practice, a portion of a curved surface whose radius is equal to the radius of the tubular transverse element (2).
  • said portion of curved surface is a portion of a cylindrical surface whose external radius has a nominal value of 24.15 mm.
  • the head (52) of the locking wedge exhibits a substantially trapezoidal shape, with the longer base resulting in correspondence of the rear surface (51) and the shorter base resulting in correspondence of the front surface (50).
  • the head (52) of the locking wedge has a 90°-bended appendix (53) which is downwardly oriented and covers the upper portion of the front surface (50).
  • the locking wedge is fully inserted through the vertical slit (13) of the anchoring device, making it to pass through a corresponding radial slot of the plate (3), thus realizing a stable connection between the transverse element (2) and the standard (4) provided with the plate (3).
  • the head (52) of the locking wedge constitutes a prolongation of the transverse element (2), making it possible to prolong the latter up to the standard (4). Therefore, as shown in Figs.
  • the transverse element (2) is apt to support a walkboard (7) approaching it close to the standard (4), without any clearance between the walkboard and the standard, because the externally projecting hook (70) of the walkboard can be positioned astride the transverse element (2) and the head (52) of the locking wedge.
  • the body of the anchoring device (1) substantially develops below the portion (12) destined to be connected with the transverse element (2), so that the said mouth (11) is at a preset distance from the upper generating line of the transverse element (2).
  • the anchoring device is provided with a depression (14) on the bottom of which there is a through hole (15).
  • both the said depression (14) and the said hole (15) have a circular shape, the hole (15) being centrally positioned with respect to the bottom of the hollow part.
  • an end of a stiffening rod (21) can be welded, or in any other way fixed, within the rear hollow part (14) of the anchoring device (1).
  • an end of a conventional hook-shaped member of a diagonal or auxiliary scaffolding element can be inserted within the hole (15), in these figures the hook-shaped member having the reference numeral (22) and a rod (23) being represented positioned diagonally below the walkboards.
  • the anchoring device (1) makes it possible the connection of the transverse element (2) with the standard (4) and at the same time it can be utilized for other purposes, so that its field of use results considerably widened.
  • the head or upper portion (130) of the anchoring device (1) is a portion of a cylindrical portion whose external radius has a nominal value of 24.15 mm.
