Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Leiterfuß für eine Leiter, mit welchem die Leiter auf einem Untergrund, zum Beispiel auf dem Erdboden aufstellbar ist, wobei der Leiterfuß wenigstens einen schwenkbaren Erdspieß aufweist, wobei der Erdspieß zwischen einer ersten Stellung, in welcher er sich in einer Nichtbenutzungsposition befindet, und einer zweiten Stellung schwenkbar ist, und wobei der Erdspieß zugleich verschiebbar angeordnet ist und zwischen der zweiten Stellung und einer dritten Stellung, in welcher er sich in einer Benutzungsposition befindet, verschiebbar ist.The present invention relates to a ladder foot for a ladder, with which the ladder can be set up on a ground, for example on the ground, the ladder foot having at least one pivotable earth spike, the earth spike between a first position, in which it is in a non-use position is, and a second position is pivotable, and wherein the ground spike is also slidably disposed and between the second position and a third position in which it is in a position of use, is displaceable.

Die Erfindung betrifft ebenso eine Leiter mit einem ersten Ende, mit welchem die Leiter auf einem Untergrund, zum Beispiel auf dem Erdboden aufstellbar ist, wobei die Leiter im Bereich des ersten Endes wenigstens einen schwenkbaren Erdspieß aufweist, wobei der Erdspieß zwischen einer ersten Stellung, in welcher er sich in einer Nichtbenutzungsposition befindet, und einer zweiten Stellung schwenkbar ist, und wobei der Erdspieß zugleich verschiebbar angeordnet ist und zwischen der zweiten Stellung und einer dritten Stellung, in welcher er sich in einer Benutzungsposition befindet, verschiebbar ist, wobei die Leiter darüber hinaus ein Führungsmittel aufweist, an welchem der Erdspieß verschiebbar angebracht ist, und wobei das Führungsmittel schwenkbar an der Leiter angebracht ist.The invention also relates to a ladder having a first end, with which the ladder can be erected on a ground, for example on the ground, wherein the ladder has at least one pivotable ground spike in the region of the first end, wherein the ground spike between a first position, in which is in a non-use position, and a second position is pivotable, and wherein the ground spike is also slidably disposed and between the second position and a third position in which it is in a use position, is displaceable, the ladder beyond a guide means, on which the spike is slidably mounted, and wherein the guide means is pivotally mounted on the ladder.

Aus der Patentschrift zum US-Patent 4 039 047 ist ein Leiterfuß mit einem schwenkbaren Erdspieß bekannt. Bekannt ist ebenfalls eine Leiter, an welcher ein solcher Leiterfuß angebracht ist. Der Erdspieß des Leiterfußes ist dazu vorgesehen, in der zweiten Stellung in dem Erdboden zu stecken und dadurch die aufgestellte Leiter gegen ein Wegrutschen zu sichern. Ein Nachteil der Leiter mit einem derartigen schwenkbaren Erdspieß ist es, dass das Einstecken des Erdspießes bei einer aufgestellten Leiter nur schwer möglich ist. Ruhen die Leiterfüße auf dem Erdboden, können die Erdspieße nur sehr umständlich aus der ersten Stellung in die zweite Stellung gebracht werden. Dazu müsste die Leiter zunächst angehoben werden, bevor die Erdspieße in die zweite Stellung geschwenkt werden können. Beim anschließenden Absenken der Leiter muss dann dafür Sorge getragen werden, dass die Erdspieße in der zweiten Stellung bleiben. Dieses kann zum Beispiel dadurch erreicht werden, dass der Benutzer der Leiter mit den Füßen die Erdspieße in der zweiten Stellung fixiert. Da eine Leiter in der Regel zwei Leiterfüße hat und der Benutzer in der Regel auf wenigstens einem Bein stehen muss, kann er nur einen Erdspieß nach dem anderen fixieren, um sie in den Erdboden einzubringen. Das ist nicht bequem.From the patent to U.S. Patent 4,039,047 is a ladder foot with a pivoting spike known. Also known is a conductor to which such a Leiterfuß is attached. The ground spike of the ladder foot is intended to be stuck in the second position in the ground and thereby secure the erected ladder against slipping. A disadvantage of the ladder with such a pivotable ground spike is that the insertion of the ground spike is difficult for a deployed ladder. Resting the ladder feet on the ground, the ground spikes can only very cumbersome from the first position to the second position. For this purpose, the ladder would first have to be raised before the earth skewers can be pivoted to the second position. During the subsequent lowering of the ladder must then be taken to ensure that the Erdspieße remain in the second position. This can be achieved, for example, by the user of the ladder with his feet fixing the ground spikes in the second position. Since a ladder usually has two ladder feet and the user usually has to stand on at least one leg, he can only fix one peg after the other to bring them into the ground. That is not comfortable.

Die DE 460 446 C offenbart einen Leiterfuß mit einer Grundplatte, die an einem Leiterholm befestigt ist. Der Leiterfuß umfasst wenigstens einen schwenkbaren Erdspieß, der zwischen einer ersten Stellung, in welcher er sich in einer Nichtbenutzungsposition befindet, und einer zweiten Stellung schwenkbar ist. Ferner ist der Erdspieß auch verschiebbar angeordnet, wobei der Erdspieß zwischen der zweiten Stellung und einer dritten Stellung, in welcher er sich in einer Benutzungsposition befindet, verschiebbar ist. Der Leiterfuß weist eine Schiene mit einem Langloch auf, so dass es möglich ist, den Leiterfuß durch Drehen entweder mit dem Erdspieß oder mit einem Gummifuß voraus auf eine raue oder ebene Standfläche aufzusetzen.The DE 460 446 C discloses a ladder foot having a base plate attached to a ladder stile. The ladder foot includes at least one pivotable ground spike which is pivotable between a first position in which it is in a non-use position and a second position. Further, the spike is also slidably disposed, wherein the spike is displaceable between the second position and a third position in which it is in a use position. The ladder foot has a rail with a slot, so that it is possible to set the ladder foot by turning either with the ground spike or with a rubber foot ahead on a rough or even footing.

Die US 2,309,484 A offenbart einen Leiterfuß, der so verschwenkt werden kann, dass er entweder mit einer ebenen Haltefläche auf eine ebene Standfläche aufgestellt werden kann, oder mit Hilfe einer Spitze auf eine raue Standfläche aufgesetzt werden kann.
Bei den aus den beiden vorstehend genannten Druckschriften bekannten Leiterfüßen ist es erforderlich, diejenigen Teile des Leiterfußes, welche die ebene Haltefläche und den Erdspieß bilden, zunächst zu drehen, um den Leiterfuß entweder mit der ebenen Haltefläche oder dem Erdspieß voraus auf den Boden aufzusetzen beziehungsweise in den Boden einzubringen. Dadurch ergeben sich die oben bereits genannten Nachteile.
The US 2,309,484 A discloses a ladder foot that can be pivoted so that it can either be placed with a flat support surface on a flat footing, or can be placed using a tip on a rough footing.
In the case of the ladder feet known from the two publications mentioned above, it is necessary to first turn those parts of the ladder foot which form the planar holding surface and the ground spike, to the ladder foot either with the plane Holding surface or the ground spike ahead on the ground or put into the soil. This results in the above-mentioned disadvantages.

Aus der Patentschrift zum US-Patent 4 836 331 ist eine Leiter mit Erdspießen bekannt, die verschiebbar an den Holmen der Leiter angebracht sind. Diese können zwar bequem in den Erdboden eingebracht werden, haben aber den Nachteil, dass sie, wenn sie an den Enden einer Traverse an einem unteren Ende einer Leiter angebracht wären, bei Nichtbenutzung weit nach oben ragten und eine Quelle für Unfälle sein können.From the patent to U.S. Patent 4,836,331 is a ladder with spikes, which are slidably mounted on the bars of the ladder. Although these can be conveniently placed in the ground, they have the disadvantage that if they were attached to the ends of a crosshead at a lower end of a ladder, they would extend far up when not in use and could be a source of accidents.

Eine gattungsgemäße Leiter ist aus der US 2007/0289812 A1 bekannt.A generic ladder is from the US 2007/0289812 A1 known.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde, eine Leiter oder einen Leiterfuß mit einem Erdspieß vorzuschlagen, der einerseits bequem in den Erdboden getrieben werden kann und andererseits bei Nichtbenutzung sicher untergebracht werden kann, ohne eine Quelle für Unfälle zu bilden.The invention is based on the object to propose a ladder or a Leiterfuß with a spike that can be easily driven into the ground on the one hand and on the other hand safely housed when not in use, without forming a source of accidents.

Bei einem erfindungsgemäßen Leiterfuß ist wie im Stand der Technik vorgesehen, dass bei einem Leiterfuß mit schwenkbarem Erdspieß der Erdspieß zugleich verschiebbar angeordnet ist und dass der Erdspieß zwischen der zweiten Stellung und einer dritten Stellung, in welcher er sich in einer Benutzungsposition befindet, verschiebbar ist. Damit ist es möglich den Erdspieß durch Schwenken aus oder in seine Nichtbenutzungsposition zu bringen, wodurch der Erdspieß platzsparend untergebracht werden kann. Außerdem ist möglich den Erdspieß durch Verschieben in die Benutzungsposition zu bringen.In a Leiterfuß invention is provided as in the prior art that at a Leiterfuß with pivotable ground spike of the ground spike is also slidably disposed and that the ground spike between the second position and a third position in which it is in a use position, is displaceable. This makes it possible to bring the ground spike by pivoting out or in its non-use position, whereby the ground spike can be accommodated to save space. It is also possible to bring the ground spike by moving it to the use position.

Der erfindungsgemäße Leiterfuß weist ferner ein Führungsmittel auf, an welchem der Erdspieß verschiebbar angebracht ist. Das Führungsmittel ist schwenkbar an einem mit der Leiter verbindbaren Teil des Leiterfußes angebracht.The ladder foot according to the invention also has a guide means on which the ground spike is slidably mounted. The guide means is pivotally mounted on a connectable to the conductor part of the ladder foot.

Der Erdspieß kann in dem Führungsmittel um seine Längsachse drehbar angebracht sein. Außerdem kann der Erdspieß an einem Ende einen Handgriff aufweisen.The spike may be rotatably mounted in the guide means about its longitudinal axis. In addition, the ground spike may have a handle at one end.

Ein oder mehrere erfindungsgemäße Leiterfüße können an einer Leiter vorgesehen sein. Die Leiter kann an einem ersten Ende eine Traverse aufweisen, an welcher die zwei Leiterfüße angebracht sind.One or more conductor feet according to the invention may be provided on a conductor. The ladder may have a crosshead at a first end to which the two ladder feet are attached.

Wie im Stand der Technik ist an einer erfindungsgemäßen Leiter der Erdspieß nicht nur schwenkbar, sondern zugleich auch verschiebbar angeordnet, wobei der Erdspieß zwischen der zweiten Stellung und einer dritten Stellung, in welcher er sich in einer Benutzungsposition befindet, verschiebbar ist. Der Erdspieß kann zum Beispiel unmittelbar an einem Holm oder an einer Traverse angebracht sein, an welcher zwei schwenkbare Erdspieße angebracht sind. Die Leiter weist ferner ein Führungsmittel auf, an welchem der Erdspieß verschiebbar angebracht ist. Das Führungsmittel ist schwenkbar an der Leiter angebracht.As in the prior art, the ground spike is not only pivotable, but at the same time slidably disposed on a conductor according to the invention, wherein the ground spike between the second position and a third position in which it is in a use position, is displaceable. The ground spike may, for example, be mounted directly on a spar or on a traverse to which two pivotable earth spikes are attached. The ladder further comprises a guide means on which the ground spike is slidably mounted. The guide means is pivotally mounted on the ladder.

Erfindungsgemäß ist der Erdspieß in dem Führungsmittel um seine Längsachse drehbar angebracht. Der Erdspieß kann an einem Ende einen Handgriff aufweisen.According to the earth spike is rotatably mounted in the guide means about its longitudinal axis. The ground spike may have a handle at one end.

Ein kurzer Schenkel 52 des Erdspießes trägt eine Kappe 6. Zusammen mit der Kappe 6 bildet der kurze Schenkel 52 einen Handgriff 52, 6.A short leg 52 of the earth spike carries a cap 6. Together with the cap 6, the short leg 52 forms a handle 52, 6.

Der Erdspieß 5 kann in unterschiedliche Stellungen gebracht werden. In der ersten Stellung (siehe Fig. 3 bis 8) ist der lange Schenkel 51 in einem Bereich zwischen der Schraube 2, dem Steg 11 und den Schenkeln 10 untergebracht. In der ersten Stellung kann die Position des Erdspießes durch die Nase 53 des Erdspießes 3 im Zusammenspiel mit der Sohle 7 an dieser Stelle gesichert sein. Aus dieser ersten Stellung kann der Erdspieß durch Ziehen an dem Handgriff 52, 6 in die erste Zwischenstellung (Fig. 9 bis 14) und anschließendem Schwenken um die Schraube 3 in eine zweite Stellung (siehe Fig. 15 bis 20) gebracht werden. In dieser zweiten Stellung ist der lange Schenkel 51 im wesentlichen senkrecht zu dem Steg 11 des Fußteils 1 angeordnet.The ground spike 5 can be brought into different positions. In the first position (see Fig. 3 to 8 ), the long leg 51 is accommodated in a region between the screw 2, the web 11 and the legs 10. In the first position, the position of the ground spike can be secured by the nose 53 of the ground spike 3 in conjunction with the sole 7 at this point. From this first position of the ground spike by pulling on the handle 52, 6 in the first intermediate position ( Fig. 9 to 14 ) and then pivoting about the screw 3 in a second position (see 15 to 20 ) to be brought. In this second position, the long leg 51 is arranged substantially perpendicular to the web 11 of the foot part 1.

Anschließend kann der Erdspieß 5 durch Drehen um die Längsachse des langen Schenkels 51 in eine zweite Zwischenstellung gebracht werden (siehe Fig. 21 bis 26).Subsequently, the ground spike 5 can be brought by rotation about the longitudinal axis of the long leg 51 in a second intermediate position (see FIGS. 21 to 26 ).

Durch ein Schieben des Erdspießes 5 kann der Erdspieß 5 durch die Löcher 111, 74 in dem Steg 11 des Fußteils 1 und der Sohle 7 geführt werden, um in den Erdboden unterhalb der Sohle 7 eingebracht zu werden. Der Erdspieß 5 befindet sich dann in der Stellung, die als dritte Stellung bezeichnet wird (siehe Fig. 28 bis 33).By pushing the ground spike 5, the ground spike 5 can be guided through the holes 111, 74 in the web 11 of the foot part 1 and the sole 7 to be introduced into the ground below the sole 7 become. The earth spike 5 is then in the position which is referred to as the third position (see FIGS. 28 to 33 ).
