  • the invention relates more particularly to a splinting device comprising at least one splice welded to the mast or boom of the crane, or any other structural element intended to be assembled, such as an arrow holder, a counter-jib, or a pulling for example.
  • a tower crane generally comprises a mast, which extends vertically from a bearing ground, and an arrow that extends horizontally horizontally (crane with a distributing arrow), or at a variable angle of incidence around a horizontal axis (luffing jib crane), in a position of normal use of the crane.
  • the mast of the crane is composed of a plurality of structural elements to be assembled together during assembly of the crane at its place of use, and to be separated from each other during the dismantling of the crane .
  • the structural elements of the tower crane are designed, with regard to their length, so as to facilitate the transport of the crane in the disassembled state, and also to allow the adaptation of the total length of the crane by depending on the conditions and constraints of use of this crane on construction sites.
  • the structural elements of the mast are each constituted by four corner members which are joined in pairs by lattice structures located in the vertical planes of the four lateral faces of the structrel mast element.
  • Each corner member is usually either a tubular section of substantially square section, or a simple angle section "L".
  • these structural elements are arranged vertically one above the other, and they are rigidly connected to each other by the meeting of the close ends of their respective corner members.
  • splinting devices are to be provided for making "end-to-end" connections between the corner members belonging to superposed structural members of the mast, these connections having to ensure the continuity of the mast corner members and the transmission of efforts longitudinal and transversal from the stresses produced by the top of the crane.
