Mit einer derartigen Gestaltung wenigstens eines Endprofilbereichs wird ein weiterer wesentlicher Beitrag zur Aussteifung eines Gerüstbodenelements geleistet, so dass eine hohe Stabilität auch bei vergleichsweise geringer Materialstärke des Blechmaterials des Gerüstbodenelements erreicht wird.With such a design of at least one end profile area, a further significant contribution is made to the stiffening of a scaffolding floor element, so that a high level of stability is achieved even with a comparatively low material thickness of the Sheet metal material of the scaffolding floor element is achieved.

Ein weiterer Beitrag zur Aussteifung des Gerüstbodenelements, insbesondere in einem oder beiden Endprofilbereichen, wird dadurch erbracht, dass der erste Profilquerbereich an die Seitenwange und an den Profilübergangsbereich in einer rippenartigen Ausformung mit wenigstens einem krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereich anschließt.A further contribution to the stiffening of the scaffolding floor element, in particular in one or both end profile areas, is provided in that the first Profile transverse area adjoins the side wall and the profile transition area in a rib-like formation with at least one curvature-like deformation area.

Zum stabilen und raumsparenden Stapeln mehrerer Gerüstbodenelemente übereinander ist vorgesehen, dass bei wenigstens einem Seitenwangenbereich der erste Profilquerbereich einen Auflagebereich bereitstellt, dass der diesen Seitenwangenbereich mit dem Auftrittsflächenbereich verbindende Übergangsbereich einen Gegen-Auflagebereich bereitstellt, wobei in der Querrichtung der Auflagebereich den Gegen-Auflagebereich vollständig übergreift. Mit dieser Ausgestaltung wird es möglich, Gerüstbodenelemente übereinander ohne seitlichen Versatz zueinander zu stapeln.For the stable and space-saving stacking of several scaffolding floor elements on top of each other, it is provided that in at least one side wall area, the first profile transverse area provides a support area, that the transition area connecting this side wall area with the tread area provides a counter support area, with the support area completely overlapping the counter support area in the transverse direction . With this configuration, it is possible to stack scaffolding floor elements on top of one another without lateral offset to one another.

Um eine weitere Stabilisierung insbesondere in dem bzw. den Endprofilbereichen zu erreichen, ist der Auflagebereich in der Querrichtung durch eine den ersten Profilquerbereich mit dem Seitenwangenbereich verbindende rippenartige Ausformung und eine den ersten Profilquerbereich mit dem Profilübergangsbereich verbindende rippenartige Ausformung begrenzt.In order to achieve further stabilization, particularly in the end profile area or areas, the contact area is delimited in the transverse direction by a rib-like formation connecting the first transverse profile area to the sidewall area and a rib-like formation connecting the first transverse profile area to the profile transition area.

Ferner kann vorgesehen sein, dass in wenigstens einem krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereich ein Krümmungsradius wenigstens bereichsweise kleiner oder gleich einer Materialstärke des Blechmaterials ist.Provision can furthermore be made for a radius of curvature in at least one curved-like deformation area to be at least in some areas less than or equal to a material thickness of the sheet metal material.

Durch das Umformen eines Blechrohlings mit sehr kleinen Krümmungsradien, also insbesondere Krümmungsradien, deren Größe im Bereich der Materialstärke des Blechmaterials bzw. darunter liegt, wird durch beim Umformen des Blechmaterials, also eines Metallmaterials, generierte Versetzungen in der Gitterstruktur des Metalls eine deutliche Versteifung erreicht. Dies ermöglicht es, zum Aufbau eines erfindungsgemäßen Gerüstbodenelements vergleichsweise dünnes Blechmaterial einzusetzen, da mit abnehmender Dicke des Blechmaterials auch der Krümmungsradius in wenigstens einem krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereich abnimmt, also eine starke Verformung des Blechmaterials hervorgerufen wird.By forming a sheet metal blank with very small radii of curvature, i.e. in particular radii of curvature whose size is in the range of the material thickness of the sheet material or less, dislocations in the lattice structure of the metal generated during the forming of the sheet material, i.e. a metal material, achieve a significant stiffening. This makes it possible to use comparatively thin sheet metal material to construct a scaffolding floor element according to the invention, since the radius of curvature in at least one curved-like deformation area decreases with decreasing thickness of the sheet metal material, i.e. severe deformation of the sheet metal material is caused.

Bei der erfindungsgemäßen Ausgestaltung eines Gerüstbodenelements kann aufgrund der vergleichsweise starken Verformung des Blechmaterials dieses beispielsweise mit einer Materialstärke im Bereich von 1,0 bis 1,5 mm, vorzugsweise etwa 1,3 mm, bereitgestellt werden.In the configuration of a scaffolding floor element according to the invention, due to the comparatively strong deformation of the sheet metal material, this can be provided, for example, with a material thickness in the range from 1.0 to 1.5 mm, preferably about 1.3 mm.

Um zu gewährleisten, dass in allen Längenbereichen das erfindungsgemäße Gerüstbodenelement eine ausreichende Verformungsstabilität aufweist, kann ferner vorgesehen sein, dass wenigstens ein, vorzugsweise jeder krümmungsartige Umformungsbereich in der Längsrichtung sich vorzugsweise unterbrechungsfrei im Wesentlichen über die gesamte Länge des Gerüstbodenkörpers erstreckt.In order to ensure that the scaffolding floor element according to the invention has sufficient deformation stability in all longitudinal areas, it can also be provided that at least one, preferably each curved deformation area in the longitudinal direction extends essentially without interruption essentially over the entire length of the scaffolding floor body.

Zur weiteren Erhöhung der Stabilität des erfindungsgemäßen Gerüstbodenelements kann vorgesehen sein, dass in wenigstens einem, vorzugsweise jedem Übergangsbereich eine Mehrzahl von, vorzugsweise wenigstens drei, rippenartigen Ausformungen vorgesehen ist, wobei wenigstens eine, vorzugsweise jede rippenartige Ausformung wenigstens einen, vorzugsweise eine Mehrzahl von krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereichen umfasst.To further increase the stability of the scaffolding floor element according to the invention, it can be provided that a plurality of, preferably at least three, rib-like formations are provided in at least one, preferably each transition area, with at least one, preferably each rib-like formation having at least one, preferably a plurality of curved deformation areas includes.

Um in wenigstens einem der Übergangsbereiche Anlageflächen, beispielsweise zur Anlage von mehrere Gerüstbodenelemente miteinander haltenden Spanngurten bereitstellen zu können und dabei punktartige bzw. linienartige Belastungen zu vermeiden, wird weiter vorgeschlagen, dass wenigstens eine rippenartige Ausformung zwei durch einen im Wesentlichen ungekrümmten Verbindungsbereich voneinander getrennte krümmungsartige Umformungsbereiche umfasst.In order to be able to provide contact surfaces in at least one of the transition areas, for example for the attachment of tension belts holding several scaffolding floor elements together and to avoid point-like or linear loads, it is further proposed that at least one rib-like formation should have two curved-like deformation areas separated from one another by a substantially non-curved connection area includes.

Eine weitere Versteifung eines erfindungsgemäßen Gerüstbodenelements kann gemäß einem weiteren vorteilhaften Aspekt dadurch erreicht werden, dass in wenigstens einem, vorzugsweise jedem, Seitenwangenbereich zwischen dem Übergangsbereich und dem Endprofilbereich eine in der Längsrichtung sich im Wesentlichen über die gesamte Länge des Gerüstbodenkörpers vorzugsweise unterbrechungsfrei erstreckende rippenartige Ausformung mit wenigstens einem krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereich vorgesehen ist. Auch dieser kann der vorangehend erläuterten Beziehung zwischen dem Krümmungsradius und der Materialstärke des Blechmaterials genügen.A further stiffening of a scaffolding floor element according to the invention can be achieved according to a further advantageous aspect in that in at least one, preferably each, side wall area between the transition area and the end profile area, a rib-like formation extending in the longitudinal direction essentially over the entire length of the scaffolding floor body is preferably uninterrupted at least one curvature-like deformation area is provided. This one can too satisfy the previously explained relationship between the radius of curvature and the material thickness of the sheet material.

Gemäß einem besonders vorteilhaften Aspekt wird vorgeschlagen, dass bei jedem Seitenwangenbereich der Endprofilbereich einen von einer im Wesentlichen in der Höhenrichtung sich erstreckenden Seitenwange auf den anderen Seitenwangenbereich zu sich erstreckenden ersten Profilquerbereich und einen durch einen Profilübergangsbereich mit dem ersten Profilquerbereich verbundenen und von dem Profilübergangsbereich auf die Seitenwange zu sich erstreckenden zweiten Profilquerbereich umfasst.According to a particularly advantageous aspect, it is proposed that in each side bolster area, the end profile area has a first transverse profile area that extends from one side bolster that extends essentially in the vertical direction to the other side bolster area, and a first transverse profile area that is connected to the first transverse profile area by a profile transition area and extends from the profile transition area to the Includes side wall extending to the second transverse profile area.

Mit einer derartigen Gestaltung wenigstens eines Endprofilbereichs wird ein weiterer wesentlicher Beitrag zur Aussteifung eines Gerüstbodenelements geleistet, so dass eine hohe Stabilität auch bei vergleichsweise geringer Materialstärke des Blechmaterials des Gerüstbodenelements erreicht wird.With such a design of at least one end profile area, a further significant contribution is made to stiffening a scaffolding floor element, so that high stability is achieved even with a comparatively small material thickness of the sheet material of the scaffolding floor element.

Beispielsweise kann vorgesehen sein, dass ein Abstand/Erstreckungslänge-Verhältnis oder/und ein Verhältnis der Abmessung des Endprofilbereichs in Höhenrichtung zur Abmessung des Endprofilbereichs in Querrichtung im Bereich von 1/3 bis 1/2 liegt.For example, it can be provided that a distance/length ratio and/or a ratio of the dimension of the end profile area in the vertical direction to the dimension of the end profile area in the transverse direction is in the range from 1/3 to 1/2.

Um eine in sich geschlossene Struktur des Gerüstbodenelements in wenigstens einem der Endprofilbereiche zu erhalten, wird vorgeschlagen, dass der zweite Profilquerbereich in der Höhenrichtung zwischen dem ersten Profilquerbereich und dem Auftrittsflächenbereich liegt.In order to obtain a self-contained structure of the scaffolding floor element in at least one of the end profile areas, it is proposed that the second transverse profile area lies in the vertical direction between the first transverse profile area and the tread area.

Ein weiterer Beitrag zur Aussteifung des Gerüstbodenelements, insbesondere in einem oder beiden Endprofilbereichen, kann dadurch erbracht werden, dass der zweite Profilquerbereich in einem krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereich an den Profilübergangsbereich anschließt. Auch hier kann es vorteilhaft sein, wenigstens einen, vorzugsweise alle diese krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereiche so wie vorangehend beschrieben auszugestalten, nämlich mit kleinerem Krümmungsradius als die Materialstärke des Blechmaterials.A further contribution to the stiffening of the scaffolding floor element, in particular in one or both end profile areas, can be made in that the second transverse profile area adjoins the profile transition area in a curved deformation area. Again, it can be advantageous, at least one, preferably all of these curvature-like deformation areas such as embellish described above, namely with a smaller radius of curvature than the material thickness of the sheet metal material.

Um die Handhabung eines erfindungsgemäßen Gerüstbodenelement zu erleichtern, wird vorgeschlagen, dass die den ersten Profilquerbereich mit dem Seitenwangenbereich verbindende rippenartige Ausformung einen ersten krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereich umfasst, dass die den ersten Profilquerbereich mit dem Profilübergangsbereich verbindende rippenartige Ausformung einen zweiten krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereich umfasst, und dass ein Krümmungsradius des ersten krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereichs größer ist als ein Krümmungsradius des zweiten krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereichs.In order to facilitate the handling of a scaffolding floor element according to the invention, it is proposed that the rib-like formation connecting the first transverse profile area with the side wall area comprises a first curved-like deformation area, that the rib-like formation connecting the first transverse profile area with the profile transition area comprises a second curved-like deformation area, and that a radius of curvature of the first curvature-like deformation area is greater than a radius of curvature of the second curvature-like deformation area.

Dabei kann für eine gleichmäßige Auflage auf einem anderen Gerüstbodenelement dadurch gesorgt werden, dass eine maximale Vorsprungshöhe der den ersten Profilquerbereich mit dem Seitenwangenbereich verbindenden rippenartigen Ausformung über den ersten Profiquerbereich hinaus im Wesentlichen einer maximalen Vorsprungshöhe der den ersten Profilquerbereich mit dem Profilübergangsbereich verbindenden rippenartigen Ausformung über den ersten Profiquerbereich hinaus entspricht.A uniform support on another scaffolding floor element can be ensured in that a maximum projection height of the rib-like formation connecting the first transverse profile area with the side wall area beyond the first transverse profile area is essentially a maximum projection height of the rib-like formation connecting the first transverse profile area with the profile transition area over the corresponds to the first professional cross area.

Ferner kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Gegen-Auflagebereich wenigstens zwei in der Querrichtung nebeneinanderliegende, sich in der Längsrichtung erstreckende rippenartige Ausformungen des Übergangsbereichs umfasst.Provision can furthermore be made for the counter-support area to comprise at least two rib-like formations of the transition area which are adjacent to one another in the transverse direction and extend in the longitudinal direction.

Eine gegenseitige Verankerung von aufeinanderliegenden Gerüstbodenelementen in der Querrichtung der Gerüstbodenelemente kann beispielsweise dadurch gewährleistet werden, dass ein Übergangsbereich von der den ersten Profilquerbereich mit dem Seitenwangenbereich verbindenden rippenartigen Ausformung und ein Scheitelbereich einer rippenartigen Ausformung des Gegen-Auflagebereichs in der Höhenrichtung im Wesentlichen übereinander positioniert sind.Mutual anchoring of scaffolding floor elements lying on top of one another in the transverse direction of the scaffolding floor elements can be ensured, for example, by positioning a transition area of the rib-like formation connecting the first transverse profile area with the side wall area and a crest area of a rib-like formation of the counter-support area essentially one above the other in the height direction.

Bei einem mit wenigstens einem, vorzugsweise einer Vielzahl von erfindungsgemäßen Gerüstbodenelementen aufgebauten Gerüst sind die Gerüstbodenelemente im Allgemeinen so orientiert, dass die im Auftrittsflächenbereich bereitgestellte Auftrittsfläche zum Betreten nach oben orientiert liegt. Dies führt dazu, dass insbesondere beim Einsatz an einer Baustelle auf einem derartigen Gerüstbodenelement sich Schmutz ansammeln wird. Um größere Schmutzansammlungen insbesondere in den Übergangsbereichen zu den Seitenwangenbereichen zu vermeiden, wird vorgeschlagen, dass eine zwischen zwei rippenartigen Ausformungen wenigstens eines Übergangsbereichs gebildete Einsenkung eine Einsenkungstiefe aufweist, dass die die Einsenkung zwischen sich bildenden rippenartigen Ausformungen eine Vorsprunghöhe über die Auftrittsfläche aufweisen, und dass die Vorsprungshöhe größer ist als die Einsenkungstiefe.In the case of a scaffold constructed with at least one, preferably a multiplicity of scaffolding floor elements according to the invention, the scaffolding floor elements are generally oriented in such a way that the stepping surface provided in the stepping surface area is oriented upwards for stepping on. This means that dirt will accumulate on such a scaffolding floor element, particularly when used on a construction site. In order to avoid larger accumulations of dirt, particularly in the transition areas to the side bolster areas, it is proposed that a depression formed between two rib-like formations of at least one transition area has a depression depth, that the depression between the rib-like formations that form have a projection height over the tread surface, and that the Projection height is greater than the depression depth.

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ferner ein Gerüst, insbesondere ein Baugerüst, welches mit wenigstens einem erfindungsgemäßen Gerüstbodenelement aufgebaut ist. Dieses kann in seinen beiden in Längsrichtung des Gerüstbodenelements in Abstand zueinander liegenden, beispielsweise hakenartig ausgebildeten Endbereichen mit einem Querträger bzw. Querholm des Gerüsts durch Einhängen von oben verbunden sein.The present invention also relates to scaffolding, in particular scaffolding, which is constructed with at least one scaffolding base element according to the invention. This can be connected in its two longitudinally spaced apart, for example, hook-like end regions to a cross member or transverse beam of the scaffolding by hanging from above.

Die Fig. 1 und 2 zeigen ein zum Aufbau eines Gerüsts, beispielsweise eines Baugerüsts, einsetzbares Gerüstbodenelement 10 in Draufsicht bzw. in Querschnittdarstellung. Das Gerüstbodenelement 10 ist in einer Längsrichtung L langgestreckt, weist also in der Längsrichtung L eine deutlich größere Abmessung auf, als in einer Querrichtung Q. In seinen beiden Längsendbereichen 12, 14 kann das Gerüstbodenelement 10 zur Anbringung an Querträgern bzw. Querholmen eines Gerüsts hakenartig ausgebildet sein.the Figures 1 and 2 show a scaffolding base element 10 that can be used to erect scaffolding, for example scaffolding, in a top view or in a cross-sectional view. The scaffolding floor element 10 is elongated in a longitudinal direction L, i.e. has a significantly larger dimension in the longitudinal direction L than in a transverse direction Q. In its two longitudinal end regions 12, 14, the scaffolding floor element 10 can be designed in a hook-like manner for attachment to crossbeams or crossbars of a scaffolding be.

Das Gerüstbodenelement 10 umfasst einen aus Blechmaterial aufgebauten Gerüstbodenkörper 16, wobei beispielsweise der Gerüstbodenkörper 16 einstückig ausgebildet sein kann und im Wesentlichen das gesamte Gerüstbodenelement 10 bereitstellen kann. Der Gerüstbodenkörper 16 ist durch Umformen eines Blechrohlings gebildet. Der Gerüstbodenkörper 16 stellt in einem bei Einbindung des Gerüstbodenelements 10 in ein Gerüst im Wesentlichen nach oben orientierten Auftrittsflächenbereich 18 eine Auftrittsfläche 20 bereit. Im Bereich dieser Auftrittsfläche 20 kann eine Vielzahl von noppenartigen bzw. ringartigen oder langlochartigen Ausformungen 22 nach oben hervorstehend ausgebildet sein, um einerseits die Stabilität, andererseits die Rutschfestigkeit an der Auftrittsfläche 20 zu erhöhen.The scaffolding floor element 10 comprises a scaffolding floor body 16 constructed from sheet metal material, in which case, for example, the scaffolding floor body 16 can be designed in one piece and can essentially provide the entire scaffolding floor element 10 . The scaffold base body 16 is formed by forming a sheet metal blank. The scaffolding floor body 16 provides a stepping surface 20 in a stepping surface area 18 that is oriented essentially upwards when the scaffolding floor element 10 is integrated into a scaffolding. In the area of this step surface 20, a large number of nub-like or ring-like or slot-like formations 22 can be formed protruding upwards in order to increase the stability on the one hand and the slip resistance on the step surface 20 on the other hand.

In in Querrichtung Q in Abstand zueinander liegenden Seitenrandbereichen 24, 26 des Auftrittsflächenbereichs 18 sind Übergangsbereiche 28, 30 gebildet, in welchen der Auftrittsflächenbereich 18 in jeweilige Seitenwangenbereiche 32, 34 übergeht. Jeder Seitenwangenbereich 32, 34 umfasst eine im Wesentlichen in einer Höhenrichtung H sich erstreckende Seitenwange 36, 38 sowie in einem vom jeweiligen Übergangsbereich 28, 30 in der Höhenrichtung H entfernten Endbereich der Seitenwange 36, 38 einen Endprofilbereich 40, 42. Es ist darauf hinzuweisen, dass für die Zwecke der vorliegenden Erfindung die Längsrichtung L, die Querrichtung Q und die Höhenrichtung H ein Koordinatensystem für das Gerüstbodenelement 10 definieren und beispielsweise zueinander jeweils orthogonal stehen können. Dabei kann beim bestimmungsgemäßen Gebrauch, also bei der Eingliederung eines Gerüstbodenelements 10 in ein Gerüst, die Höhenrichtung H im Wesentlichen einer Vertikalrichtung entsprechen, so dass der Auftrittsflächenbereich 18 mit seiner Auftrittsfläche 20 in Höhenrichtung H bzw. in Vertikalrichtung nach oben orientiert liegt. Insofern, als im Folgenden Bezug genommen ist auf eine Orientierung nach oben bzw. eine Orientierung nach unten, ist dies im Kontext dieser bestimmungsgemäßen Eingliederung eines Gerüstbodenelements in ein Gerüst zu verstehen.Transition regions 28, 30 are formed in lateral edge regions 24, 26 of the tread surface region 18 that are spaced apart from one another in the transverse direction Q, in which the tread surface region 18 merges into the respective side wall regions 32, 34. Each side wall region 32, 34 comprises a side wall 36, 38 extending essentially in a height direction H and in one of the respective transition area 28, 30 in the height direction H distant end area of the side wall 36, 38 an end profile area 40, 42. It should be noted that for the purposes of the present invention the longitudinal direction L, the transverse direction Q and the height direction H are a coordinate system for the scaffolding floor element 10 and can be orthogonal to one another, for example. When used as intended, i.e. when a scaffolding floor element 10 is integrated into a scaffolding, the height direction H can essentially correspond to a vertical direction, so that the stepping surface area 18 is oriented upwards with its stepping surface 20 in the height direction H or in the vertical direction. Insofar as reference is made in the following to an orientation upwards or an orientation downwards, this is to be understood in the context of this intended incorporation of a scaffolding floor element into a scaffolding.

Im Folgenden wird insbesondere mit Bezug auf die Fig. 3 und 4 der Aufbau des Gerüstbodenelements 10 in seinen Übergangsbereichen 28, 30 bzw. Seitenwangenbereichen 32, 34 beschrieben. Da das Gerüstbodenelement 10 hinsichtlich dieser Ausgestaltungsaspekte in seinen beiden Seitenbereichen grundsätzlich gleich, also z. B. spiegelsymmetrisch ausgebildet sein kann, wird im Folgenden lediglich Bezug genommen auf die in Fig. 2 links dargestellten Bereiche, also den Übergangsbereich 28 und den Seitenwangenbereich 32. Die diesbezüglichen Ausführungen gelten gleichermaßen für die auf der anderen Seite liegenden Formationen. Es ist jedoch darauf hinzuweisen, dass grundsätzlich das Gerüstbodenelement 10 in seinen beiden Seitenbereichen auch mit nicht identischen Übergangsbereichen bzw. Seitenwangenbereichen ausgestaltet sein kann.In the following, in particular with reference to the 3 and 4 the construction of the scaffolding floor element 10 in its transition areas 28, 30 or side wall areas 32, 34 is described. Since the scaffolding floor element 10 is basically the same with regard to these design aspects in its two side areas, ie z. B. can be mirror-symmetrical, in the following only reference is made to the 2 Areas shown on the left, ie the transition area 28 and the side wall area 32. The relevant statements apply equally to the formations on the other side. However, it should be pointed out that, in principle, the scaffolding floor element 10 can also be designed in its two side areas with non-identical transition areas or side wall areas.

In den Fig. 3 und 4 ist zu erkennen, dass der Übergangsbereich 28 eine Mehrzahl von in der Längsrichtung L sich vorzugsweise über im Wesentlichen die gesamte Länge des Gerüstbodenkörpers 16 erstreckenden, rippenartigen Ausformungen 42, 44, 46 aufweist. Die beiden an den Seitenrandbereich 24 des Auftrittsflächenbereichs 18 anschließenden, in der Querrichtung Q nebeneinander liegenden rippenartigen Ausformungen 42, 44 weisen jeweilige Scheitelbereiche 48, 50 auf, welche in der Höhenrichtung H eine Vorsprungshöhe V bezüglich der Auftrittsfläche 20 des Auftrittsflächenbereichs 18 aufweisen. Zwischen diesen beiden rippenartigen Ausformungen 42, 44 ist eine Einsenkung 52 gebildet, welche bezüglich der Scheitelbereiche 48, 50 eine Einsenkungstiefe E aufweist. Die Einsenkungstiefe E ist geringer, als die Vorsprungshöhe V, so dass die Ansammlung von Verunreinigungen im Übergangsbereich 28 gemindert werden kann. Auch eine zwischen den nach außen hin nebeneinander liegenden rippenartigen Ausformungen 44, 46 gebildete Einsenkung 54 kann eine Einsenkungstiefe aufweisen, die geringer ist, als die Vorsprungshöhe V, beispielsweise im Bereich der Einsenkungstiefe E der Einsenkung 52 liegen kann.In the 3 and 4 It can be seen that the transition region 28 has a plurality of rib-like formations 42, 44, 46, which preferably extend in the longitudinal direction L over essentially the entire length of the scaffolding floor body 16. The two rib-like ribs adjoining the lateral edge area 24 of the tread area 18 and lying next to one another in the transverse direction Q Formations 42, 44 have respective apex regions 48, 50, which in the height direction H have a projection height V with respect to the tread surface 20 of the tread surface region 18. A depression 52 is formed between these two rib-like formations 42, 44, which has a depression depth E with respect to the apex regions 48, 50. The depression depth E is smaller than the projection height V, so that the accumulation of impurities in the transition area 28 can be reduced. A depression 54 formed between the outwardly adjacent rib-like formations 44, 46 can also have a depression depth that is less than the projection height V, for example in the region of the depression depth E of the depression 52.

Die rippenartigen Ausformungen 42, 44, 46 sind durch Umformen eines Blechrohlings zum Bereitstellen des Gerüstbodenkörpers 16 gebildet. Bei dieser Umformung werden krümmungsartige Umformungsbereiche K1 bis K10, im Folgenden allgemein Ki genannt, gebildet. Wenigstens einer oder einige, vorzugsweise alle dieser krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereiche Ki sind mit einem Krümmungsradius R bezüglich eines jeweiligen durch ein "+" gekennzeichneten Krümmungsmittelpunkts M definiert, welcher nicht größer ist, als die Materialstärke S des zum Aufbau des Gerüstbodenkörpers 16 eingesetzten Blechmaterials.The rib-like formations 42, 44, 46 are formed by forming a sheet metal blank to provide the base body 16 of the scaffolding. During this deformation, curved deformation regions K 1 to K 10 , generally referred to below as K i , are formed. At least one or some, preferably all, of these curved-like reshaping areas K i are defined with a radius of curvature R with respect to a respective center of curvature M, marked by a "+", which is not greater than the material thickness S of the sheet metal material used to construct the scaffolding floor body 16.

Durch das Bereitstellen von krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereichen Ki mit derartig kleinem Krümmungsradius R wird eine vergleichsweise starke Umformung des Blechmaterials erzeugt, so dass die dabei generierten Versetzungen im Gittergefüge des Blechmaterials verankert werden und zu einer wesentlichen Aussteifung des Gerüstbodenkörpers 16 führen. Gleichzeitig wird durch das Bereitstellen der krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereiche Ki und die dadurch generierten rippenartigen Ausformungen 42, 44, 46 eine Materialanhäufung im Übergangsbereich 24 erzeugt, was ebenfalls zur Erhöhung der Stabilität beiträgt. Dies gestattet es, für den Aufbau des Gerüstbodenkörpers 16 beispielsweise ein Blechmaterial einzusetzen, das eine Materialstärke S im Bereich von 1,3 mm aufweist. Dies bedeutet, dass bei einem so aufgebauten Gerüstbodenelement 10 auch der Krümmungsradius R in den verschiedenen krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereichen Ki nicht größer als 1,3 mm ist.By providing curvature-like deformation areas K i with such a small radius of curvature R, a comparatively strong deformation of the sheet metal material is generated, so that the dislocations generated in the process are anchored in the lattice structure of the sheet metal material and lead to a significant stiffening of the scaffolding floor body 16. At the same time, the provision of the curved deformation areas K i and the rib-like formations 42, 44, 46 generated thereby produce an accumulation of material in the transition area 24, which also contributes to increasing the stability. This makes it possible, for example, to use a sheet metal material for the structure of the scaffolding floor body 16, which has a material thickness S in the range of 1.3 mm. This means that with a scaffolding floor element constructed in this way, 10 the radius of curvature R in the various curved-like deformation areas K i is also not greater than 1.3 mm.

Jede der rippenartigen Ausformungen 42, 44, 46 ist durch eine Mehrzahl derartiger krümmungsartiger Umformungsbereiche Ki bereitgestellt. So umfasst beispielsweise die unmittelbar an den Auftrittsflächenbereich 18 bzw. die Auftrittsfläche 20 anschließende rippenartige Ausformung 42 die vier krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereiche K1, K2, K3 und K4. Diese können in ihrer Abfolge jeweils unterschiedliche Krümmungsorientierungen aufweisen, was beispielsweise bei den krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereichen K1 und K2 sowie den krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereichen K3 und K4 der Fall ist. Die aufeinander folgenden krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereiche K2 und K3 weisen eine zueinander gleiche Krümmungsorientierung auf. In entsprechender Weise ist die rippenartige Ausformung 44 im Wesentlichen durch die krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereiche K5, K6, K7 und Ks bereitgestellt, während die rippenartige Ausformung 46 durch die krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereiche K8, K9 und K10 bereitgestellt ist.Each of the rib-like formations 42, 44, 46 is provided by a plurality of such curved-like deformation areas K i . For example, the rib-like formation 42 directly adjoining the tread surface area 18 or the tread surface 20 comprises the four curved-like deformation areas K 1 , K 2 , K 3 and K 4 . These can each have different curvature orientations in their sequence, which is the case, for example, with the curvature-like deformation areas K 1 and K 2 and the curvature-like deformation areas K 3 and K 4 . The successive curved-like deformation regions K 2 and K 3 have the same curvature orientation as one another. Correspondingly, the rib-like formation 44 is essentially provided by the curved-like deformation areas K 5 , K 6 , K 7 and Ks , while the rib-like formation 46 is provided by the curved-like deformation areas K 8 , K 9 and K 10 .

Bei den beiden rippenartigen Ausformungen 42, 44 liegen die jeweiligen Scheitelbereiche 48, 50 im Bereich jeweiliger zwei krümmungsartige Umformungsbereiche K2, K3 bzw. K6 und K7 verbindender, im Wesentlichen nicht gekrümmter Verbindungsbereiche B1 bzw. B3. Dies führt dazu, dass die Krümmungsmittelpunkte der einer jeweiligen rippenartigen Ausformung 42, 44 zugeordneten krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereiche K2, K3 bzw. K6, K7 zueinander ebenfalls in Abstand liegen, im dargestellten Beispiel insbesondere in der Querrichtung Q in Abstand liegen, in Höhenrichtung H jedoch im Wesentlichen auf dem gleichen Niveau liegen. Zwischen den beiden rippenartigen Ausformungen 42, 44 bzw. den diesen jeweils zugeordneten krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereichen K4, K5 liegt ein im Wesentlichen ungekrümmter Verbindungsbereich B2. Auch der rippenartige Ausformungsbereich 46 weist einen im Wesentlichen ungekrümmten Verbindungsbereich B6 zwischen den beiden krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereichen K9 und K10 auf. Der Verbindungsbereich B6 ist länger, als die Verbindungsbereiche B1 und B3, so dass am rippenartigen Ausformungsbereich 46 insbesondere durch den Verbindungsbereich B6 in Verbindung mit den diesen seitlich eingrenzenden krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereichen K9 und K10 eine vergleichsweise große Anlagefläche gebildet ist, über welche ein das Gerüstbodenelement 10 beispielsweise zusammen mit anderen Gerüstbodenelementen auf einem Transportfahrzeug oder einer Transportpalette fixierender Spanngurt geführt ist. Auf diese Art und Weise kann eine zu einer starken Belastung des Gerüstbodenelements 10 führende punkt- bzw. linienartige Wechselwirkung zwischen einem Spanngurt und dem Gerüstbodenelement 10 vermieden werden.In the case of the two rib-like formations 42, 44, the respective apex regions 48, 50 lie in the region of respective essentially non-curved connecting regions B 1 and B 3 connecting two curved deformation regions K 2 , K 3 or K 6 and K 7 . This means that the centers of curvature of the respective rib-like formations 42, 44 associated with the curvature-like deformation areas K 2 , K 3 or K 6 , K 7 are also spaced apart, in the example shown in particular in the transverse direction Q, in the vertical direction H, however, are essentially at the same level. Between the two rib-like formations 42, 44 or the respectively associated curved-like deformation areas K 4 , K 5 there is an essentially uncurved connection area B 2 . The rib-like shaping area 46 also has a substantially uncurved connection area B 6 between the two curved-like deformation areas K 9 and K 10 . The connection area B 6 is longer than the connection areas B 1 and B 3 , so that on the rib-like formation area 46 in particular by the connection area B 6 in connection with these laterally delimiting curvature-like deformation areas K 9 and K 10 a comparatively large contact surface is formed, over which a scaffolding floor element 10 is guided, for example together with other scaffolding floor elements on a transport vehicle or a transport pallet fixing tension belt. In this way, a punctiform or line-like interaction between a tensioning belt and the scaffolding floor element 10 that leads to a heavy load on the scaffolding floor element 10 can be avoided.

Die Seitenwange 36 des Seitenwangenbereichs 32 schließt in einem vom rippenartigen Ausformungsbereich 46 bzw. dem krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereich K10 in der Höhenrichtung H nach unten, also auf den Endprofilbereich 40 zu und in der Querrichtung Q einwärts, also auf den anderen Seitenwangenbereich 34 zu sich erstreckenden Seitenwangenabschnitt 56 der Seitenwange 36 an den Übergangsbereich 28 an. Im unteren Endbereich dieses Seitenwangenabschnitts 56 schließt dieser an einen im Wesentlichen in der Höhenrichtung H, also im Wesentlichen orthogonal zur Querrichtung Q und zur Längsrichtung L sich erstreckenden Seitenwangenabschnitt 58 an. Nahe dem Angrenzungsbereich der beiden Seitenwangenabschnitte 58, 56 aneinander ist im Seitenwangenabschnitt 58 eine nach außen, also in Richtung vom anderen Seitenwangenbereich 34 weg ausgeformte rippenartige Ausformung 60 gebildet. Auch diese rippenartige Ausformung 60 ist mit mehreren krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereichen Ki bereitgestellt. Ebenso ist der Übergang vom Seitenwangenabschnitt 56 zum Seitenwangenabschnitt 58 durch einen oder mehrere krümmungsartige Umformungsbereiche Ki bereitgestellt. Wenigstens einer, vorzugsweise alle diese krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereiche Ki erfüllen wieder die Bedingung, dass deren Krümmungsradius nicht größer ist, als die Materialstärke S des Blechmaterials des Gerüstbodenkörpers 16. Auch dies trägt insbesondere im Bereich des Seitenwangenbereichs 32 bzw. der Seitenwange 36 desselben zu einer Versteifung bei.The side bolster 36 of the side bolster area 32 closes in a side bolster section extending from the rib-like shaping area 46 or the curved reshaping area K 10 downwards in the vertical direction H, i.e. towards the end profile area 40 and inwards in the transverse direction Q, i.e. towards the other side bolster region 34 56 of the side wall 36 to the transition area 28. In the lower end region of this side panel section 56 , it adjoins a side panel section 58 that extends essentially in the vertical direction H, that is to say essentially orthogonally to the transverse direction Q and to the longitudinal direction L. Near the adjoining area of the two side wall sections 58 , 56 to one another, a rib-like formation 60 is formed in the side wall section 58 which is shaped outwards, ie in the direction away from the other side wall section 34 . This rib-like formation 60 is also provided with a plurality of curvature-like deformation regions K i . Likewise, the transition from the side wall section 56 to the side wall section 58 is provided by one or more curved-like reshaping areas K i . At least one, preferably all, of these curved reshaping areas K i again meet the condition that their radius of curvature is not greater than the material thickness S of the sheet metal material of the scaffold base body 16. This also contributes to stiffening, particularly in the area of the side panel area 32 or the side panel 36 of the same at.

In dem am vom Übergangsbereich 28 entfernt liegenden Endbereich 62 des Seitenwangenbereichs 32 gebildeten Endprofilbereich 40 ist der Gerüstbodenkörper 16 mit zwei vorzugsweise im Wesentlichen parallel zueinander und vorzugsweise in der Querrichtung Q sich erstreckenden Profilquerbereichen 64, 66 ausgebildet, die in einem Profilübergangsbereich 68 miteinander verbunden sind. Der erste Profilquerbereich 64 schließt im Bereich einer schräg nach außen, also im Wesentlichen vom anderen Seitenwangenbereich 34 und vom Auftrittsflächenbereich 18 weg ausgeformten rippenartigen Ausformung 70 an die Seitenwange 36, insbesondere den im Wesentlichen in der Höhenrichtung H sich erstreckenden Seitenwangenabschnitt 58 an. Der Profilübergangsbereich 68 schließt an den ersten Profilquerbereich 64 im Bereich einer weiteren im Wesentlichen auf den anderen Seitenwangenbereich 34 zu und in Richtung vom Auftrittsflächenbereich 18 schräg nach unten weg ausgefomten rippenartigen Ausformung 72 an. Auch diese rippenartigen Ausformungen 70, 72 umfassen jeweils eine Mehrzahl von krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereichen Ki, wobei auch hier wenigstens einer bzw. einige, vorzugsweise alle krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereiche Ki der Bedingung genügen können, dass deren jeweiliger Krümmungsradius nicht größer ist, als die Materialstärke S des Blechmaterials des Gerüstbodenkörpers 16. Entsprechendes gilt auch für einen krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereich, in welchem der zweite Profilquerbereich 66 an den Profilübergangsbereich 68 anschließt.The scaffolding floor body is in the end profile area 40 formed at the end area 62 of the side wall area 32 remote from the transition area 28 16 with two profile transverse regions 64, 66, which preferably extend essentially parallel to one another and preferably in the transverse direction Q, and which are connected to one another in a profile transition region 68. The first transverse profile area 64 adjoins the side cheek 36, in particular the side cheek section 58 extending essentially in the height direction H, in the area of a rib-like formation 70 which is formed obliquely outwards, i.e. essentially away from the other side cheek area 34 and from the tread surface area 18. The profile transition area 68 adjoins the first profile transverse area 64 in the area of a further rib-like formation 72 which is formed essentially towards the other side cheek area 34 and in the direction of the tread surface area 18 obliquely downwards. These rib-like formations 70, 72 also each comprise a plurality of curved-like deformation areas K i , whereby here too at least one or some, preferably all curved-like deformation areas K i can satisfy the condition that their respective radius of curvature is not greater than the material thickness S of the Sheet metal material of the scaffolding floor body 16. The same also applies to a curved deformation area, in which the second profile transverse area 66 adjoins the profile transition area 68.

Der Endprofilbereich 40 ist im Endbereich 62 des Seitenwangenbereichs 32 derart gestaltet bzw. dimensioniert, dass dessen Abmessung AH in der Höhenrichtung H kleiner ist, als seine Abmessung AQ in der Querrichtung Q. Dies wird insbesondere dadurch erreicht, dass eine jeweilige Erstreckungslänge P des ersten Profilquerbereichs 64 bzw. des zweiten Profilquerbereichs 66 in der Querrichtung Q größer ist, als deren Abstand A in der Höhenrichtung H. Dabei können beispielsweise die beiden Profilquerbereiche 64, 66 in der Querrichtung Q die gleiche Erstreckungslänge P aufweisen und in der Querrichtung Q einander vollständig deckend positioniert sein. Dabei endet der zweite Profilquerbereich 66 in seinem vom Profilübergangsbereich 68 in Querrichtung Q entfernten Endbereich in geringem Abstand vor dem Seitenwangenabschnitt 58 der Seitenwange 36.The end profile area 40 is designed or dimensioned in the end area 62 of the side wall area 32 in such a way that its dimension A H in the vertical direction H is smaller than its dimension A Q in the transverse direction Q. This is achieved in particular by the fact that a respective extension length P of the first transverse profile area 64 or the second transverse profile area 66 in the transverse direction Q is greater than their distance A in the vertical direction H. In this case, for example, the two transverse profile regions 64, 66 can have the same extension length P in the transverse direction Q and in the transverse direction Q each other completely be positioned to cover. The second transverse profile area 66 ends in its end region remote from the profile transition area 68 in the transverse direction Q at a small distance in front of the side cheek section 58 of the side cheek 36.

Durch die in Fig. 3 erkennbare Dimensionierung des Endprofilbereichs 40, bei welcher ein Verhältnis der Abmessung AH in der Höhenrichtung zur Abmessung AQ in der Querrichtung bzw. ein Verhältnis des Abstands A zur Erstreckungslänge P im Bereich von 1/3 bis 1/2 liegen kann, wird ein weiterer Beitrag zur Versteifung des Gerüstbodenelements 10 geleistet. Dieser Aspekt der Versteifung ist für sich alleine besonders vorteilhaft, führt jedoch insbesondere in Verbindung mit der vorangehend mit Bezug auf die Fig. 4 beschriebenen Ausgestaltung des Übergangsbereichs 24 oder/und der Ausgestaltung des Seitenwangenbereichs 32 zu einem bei Einsatz eines vergleichsweise dünnen Blechmaterials in sich sehr stabilen und somit hoch belastbaren Gerüstbodenelement.through the in 3 recognizable dimensioning of the end profile area 40, in which a ratio of the dimension A H in the height direction to the dimension A Q in the transverse direction or a ratio of the distance A to the extension length P can be in the range from 1/3 to 1/2, a further contribution to the stiffening of the scaffolding floor element 10 is made. This aspect of the stiffening is particularly advantageous on its own, but leads in particular in connection with the above with reference to the 4 described configuration of the transition area 24 and/or the configuration of the side wall area 32 into a scaffolding floor element that is inherently very stable and therefore highly resilient when using a comparatively thin sheet metal material.

Der Endprofilbereich 40 bildet insbesondere mit seinem ersten Profilquerbereich 64 und den beiden diesen in der Querrichtung Q eingrenzenden rippenartigen Ausformungen 70, 72 einen Auflagebereich 74. Dieser erstreckt sich in der Querrichtung Q beispielsweise mit einer Erstreckungslänge D, diese beispielsweise gemessen zwischen nach unten orientierten Scheitelbereichen der rippenartigen Ausformungen 70, 72. In dem in der Höhenrichtung H über dem Endprofilbereich 40 liegenden Übergangsbereich 28 bilden im Wesentlichen die beiden rippenartigen Ausformungen 42, 44 einen Gegenauflagebereich 76. Dieser kann in der Querrichtung Q eine Erstreckungslänge F, diese beispielsweise gemessen zwischen den voneinander abgewandt liegenden Flankenbereichen der rippenartigen Ausformungen 42, 44, aufweisen.The end profile area 40, in particular with its first transverse profile area 64 and the two rib-like formations 70, 72 delimiting it in the transverse direction Q, forms a support area 74. This extends in the transverse direction Q, for example with a length D, which is measured, for example, between downwardly oriented apex areas of the rib-like formations 70, 72. In the transition area 28 above the end profile area 40 in the height direction H, the two rib-like formations 42, 44 essentially form a counter-support area 76. This can have an extension length F in the transverse direction Q, measured, for example, between the opposing lying edge regions of the rib-like formations 42, 44 have.

Beim Stapeln mehrerer Gerüstbodenelemente 10 übereinander kann ein oberes von zwei betrachteten Gerüstbodenelementen 10 mit seinen im Bereich der beiden Seitenwangenbereiche 32, 34 vorgesehenen Auflagebereichen 74 auf in den Übergangsbereichen 28, 30 eines unteren der beiden betrachteten Gerüstbodenelemente 10 vorgesehenen Gegen-Auflagebereichen 76 so positioniert werden, dass die beiden rippenartigen Ausformungen 42, 44 in der Querrichtung Q zwischen den beiden rippenartigen Ausformungen 70, 72 positioniert sind, obgleich die beiden Gerüstbodenelemente 10 ohne Versatz in der Querrichtung Q, also einander vollständig überdeckend positioniert sind. Da bei dieser Anordnung der Gerüstbodenelemente 10 die beiden rippenartigen Ausformungen 42, 44 zwischen den rippenartigen Ausformungen 70, 72 in der Querrichtung Q aufgenommen sind, wird gleichzeitig ein seitliches Abrutschen des oberen der beiden Gerüstbodenelemente vom unteren Gerüstbodenelement 10 verhindert. Auf diese Art und Weise wird eine raumsparende, stabile Stapelbarkeit der Gerüstbodenelemente gewährleistet. In diesem übereinander gestapelten Zustand können dann mehrere derartige Gerüstbodenelemente in der vorangehend bereits beschriebenen Art und Weise durch einen oder mehrere diese umgreifende Spanngurte miteinander bzw. mit einem Transportfahrzeug, einer Transportpalette oder dergleichen verspannt werden.When stacking several scaffolding floor elements 10 on top of each other, an upper one of two scaffolding floor elements 10 under consideration can be positioned with its support areas 74 provided in the area of the two side wall areas 32, 34 on counter-supporting areas 76 provided in the transition areas 28, 30 of a lower one of the two scaffolding floor elements 10 under consideration in such a way that the two rib-like formations 42, 44 are positioned in the transverse direction Q between the two rib-like formations 70, 72, although the two scaffolding floor elements 10 are positioned without offset in the transverse direction Q, ie completely overlapping one another. Since with this arrangement of the scaffolding floor elements 10 the two rib-like formations 42, 44 are accommodated between the rib-like formations 70, 72 in the transverse direction Q, at the same time there is a lateral slipping of the upper one of the two Scaffolding floor elements from the lower scaffolding floor element 10 prevented. This ensures that the scaffolding floor elements can be stacked in a space-saving, stable manner. In this state stacked on top of each other, several such scaffolding floor elements can then be braced together or with a transport vehicle, a transport pallet or the like in the manner already described above by means of one or more tension belts enclosing them.

Eine alternative Ausgestaltungsart eines Gerüstbodenelements 10 ist in Fig. 5 dargestellt. Auch hier ist darauf hinzuweisen, dass die Fig. 5 nur einen der beiden Seitenwangenbereiche 32. 34 des Gerüstbodenelements 10 zeigt. Der in Fig. 5 nicht dargestellte Seitenwangenbereich ist vorzugsweise zu dem in Fig. 5 dargestellten Seitenwangenbereich 32 bezüglich einer in der Höhenrichtung H verlaufenden Symmetrieebene spiegelsymmetrisch ausgestaltet. Dass Gerüstbodenelement 10 der Fig. 5 unterscheidet sich von dem vorangehend mit Bezug auf die Fig. 3 und 4 detailliert beschriebenen Gerüstbodenelement im Wesentlichen in der Ausgestaltung des Endprofilbereichs 40. Es wird daher nachfolgend im Wesentlichen auf die Unterschiede zu der vorangehend beschriebenen Ausgestaltungsform in diesem Endprofilbereich 40 eingegangen. Hinsichtlich der Ausgestaltung des Gerüstbodenelements 10 in seinen anderen Bereichen wird auf die voranstehenden Ausführungen verwiesen.An alternative type of configuration of a scaffolding floor element 10 is in figure 5 shown. It should also be noted here that the figure 5 only one of the two side wall areas 32, 34 of the scaffolding floor element 10 shows. the inside figure 5 side bolster area not shown is preferably to the in figure 5 illustrated side wall area 32 is configured mirror-symmetrically with respect to a plane of symmetry running in the height direction H. That scaffolding floor element 10 of figure 5 differs from the preceding with respect to the 3 and 4 scaffolding floor element described in detail essentially in the design of the end profile area 40. The differences to the previously described embodiment in this end profile area 40 are therefore essentially discussed below. With regard to the design of the scaffolding floor element 10 in its other areas, reference is made to the above statements.

Auch bei der in Fig. 5 dargestellten Ausgestaltungsform ist im Endprofilbereich 40 der im Wesentlichen in horizontaler Richtung sich auf den nicht dargestellten Seitenwangenbereich zu erstreckende erste Profilquerbereich 64 zwischen zwei in der Querrichtung Q in Abstand zueinander liegenden rippenartigen Ausformungen 70, 72 begrenzt. Jede dieser beiden rippenartigen Ausformungen 70, 72 ist beispielsweise mit einem krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereich K11 bzw. K12 ausgebildet. Ein vorzugsweise im Wesentlichen den Verlauf des gesamten ersten krümmungsartigen Umformungsbereichs K11, welcher den ersten Profilquerbereich 64 mit dem Seitenwangenabschnitt 58 verbindet, beschreibende bzw. vorgeben der Krümmungsradius R11 ist größer, als ein Krümmungsradius R12 des den ersten Profilquerbereich 64 mit dem Profilübergangsbereich 68 verbindenden zweiten krümmungsartigen Übergangsbereichs K12. Gleichwohl weisen beide krümmungsartige Übergangsbereiche K11, K12 im Wesentlichen die gleiche maximale Vorsprungshöhe Y über den ersten Profilquerbereich 64 nach unten hinaus auf. Dies führt dazu, dass im Vergleich zu der in Fig. 3 dargestellten Ausgestaltungsform ein Übergangsbereich 80 der rippenartigen Ausformung 70 zu dem Seitenwangenabschnitt 58 weiter nach oben verlagert ist und beispielsweise in der Höhenrichtung H im Wesentlichen im Bereich des zweiten Profilquerbereichs 66 liegt.Also at the in figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, in the end profile area 40, the first profile transverse area 64, which extends essentially in the horizontal direction towards the side cheek area (not shown), is delimited between two rib-like formations 70, 72 that are spaced apart from one another in the transverse direction Q. Each of these two rib-like formations 70, 72 is formed, for example, with a curved deformation area K 11 or K 12 . A radius of curvature R 11 that preferably describes or specifies the entire course of the first curved-like reshaping area K 11 , which connects the first transverse profile area 64 to the side wall section 58, is greater than a radius of curvature R 12 of the first transverse profile area 64 to the profile transition area 68 connecting second curvature-like transition region K 12 . Nevertheless, both curved transition areas K 11 , K 12 have essentially the same maximum projection height Y beyond the first profile transverse area 64 downwards. This means that compared to the in 3 In the illustrated embodiment, a transition area 80 of the rib-like formation 70 to the side cheek section 58 is shifted further upwards and is, for example, in the vertical direction H essentially in the area of the second profile transverse area 66 .

Aufgrund der Ausgestaltung des ersten krümmungsartigen Übergangsbereich K11 mit größerem Krümmungsradius verlagert sich ein Übergangsbereich 82, in welchem dieser bzw. die rippenartige Ausformung 70 in den ersten Profilquerbereich 64 übergeht, in der Querrichtung Q weiter nach innen, also vom Seitenwangenabschnitt 58 weg bzw. auf den anderen Seitenwangenbereich 34 zu. Anhand einer in Fig. 5 dargestellten, im Wesentlichen in der Höhenrichtung H verlaufenden Referenzlinie L ist zu erkennen, dass dieser Übergangsbereich 82 in der Querrichtung Q näherungsweise dort positioniert ist, wo auch der Scheitelbereich 50 der rippenartigen Ausformung 44 des Gegen-Auflagebereichs 76 liegt. Diese rippenartige Ausformung 44 ist diejenige rippenartige Ausformung des Gegen-Auflagebereichs 76, die in der Querrichtung Q am weitesten außen, also vom anderen Seitenwangenbereich am weitesten entfernt positioniert ist. Beim Stapeln mehrerer derartiger Gerüstbodenelement die 10 übereinander kommt also ein derartiger Scheitelbereich 50 im Auflagebereich 74 näherungsweise dort zu liegen, wo der Übergangsbereich 82 positioniert ist. Dieser Übergangsbereich 82 umgreift somit den Scheitelbereich 50 bereichsweise. Da dies im Bereich beider Seitenwangenbereiche 32, 34 erfolgt, sind die beiden aufeinander liegenden Gerüstbodenelemente 10 in der Querrichtung Q gegen Verschiebung bezüglich einander durch Formschluss verankert.Due to the design of the first curved transition area K 11 with a larger radius of curvature, a transition area 82, in which this or the rib-like formation 70 merges into the first transverse profile area 64, is shifted further inward in the transverse direction Q, i.e. away from or towards the side cheek section 58 the other side wall area 34 to. Based on an in figure 5 It can be seen from the illustrated reference line L running essentially in the height direction H that this transition area 82 is positioned in the transverse direction Q approximately there where the apex area 50 of the rib-like formation 44 of the counter-support area 76 is also located. This rib-like formation 44 is that rib-like formation of the counter-support area 76 which is positioned furthest to the outside in the transverse direction Q, that is to say the furthest away from the other side wall area. When stacking several such scaffolding floor elements 10 on top of each other, such a top area 50 in the support area 74 comes to lie approximately there where the transition area 82 is positioned. This transition area 82 thus encompasses the apex area 50 in areas. Since this takes place in the area of both side wall areas 32, 34, the two scaffolding floor elements 10 lying on top of one another are anchored in the transverse direction Q against displacement with respect to one another by a positive fit.

Ein weiterer, aus Gründen der einfacheren Fertigung vorteilhafter Unterschied im Vergleich zur Ausgestaltung gemäß Fig. 3 ist in einem Übergangsbereich 84 zu erkennen, in welchem der zweite Profilquerbereich 66 in den Profilübergangsbereich 68 übergeht. Dieser ist im Ausgestaltungsbeispiel der Fig. 5 durch einen einzigen, beispielsweise mit konstantem Krümmungsradius ausgebildeten krümmungsartigen Übergangsbereich bereitgestellt.Another difference compared to the embodiment according to FIG 3 can be seen in a transition area 84 in which the second transverse profile area 66 merges into the profile transition area 68 . This is in the embodiment example figure 5 through a single provided, for example, with a constant radius of curvature formed curve-like transition region.
