Definitions
- the invention relates to a walkway for attachment to a machine, in particular for attachment to a machine for producing, processing or working a fibrous web, comprising a walkway floor which is connected at least on one boundary side to a walkway cheek, preferably designed as a hollow profile, and at least two railing posts connected to the walkway cheek, to which a handrail is attached.
- Catwalks of this type are known.
- the document DE 20 2012 104986 U1 discloses a walkway for a fiber web machine with a running plane and two support beam parts which are arranged laterally on the running plane and spaced apart from each other so that a gap is formed to accommodate the running plane.
- the upper support beam part is designed in two parts and consists of two halves between which railing panels are clamped to form a railing.
- a fastening arrangement for railing posts on walkways for machine systems is known. This fastening arrangement allows the railing sections to be positioned anywhere on the walkways and can be flexibly removed and reassembled.
- the object of the invention is therefore to provide a cost-effective and safe walkway which is essentially modular in design and whose components can be used and arranged at least partially flexibly.
- a walkway for attachment to a machine in particular for attachment to a machine for producing, processing or working on a fibrous web, is proposed, comprising a walkway floor which is connected at least on one boundary side to a walkway cheek, preferably designed as a hollow profile, and at least one railing post to which a handrail is attached.
- the walkway comprises at least one clamping element for fastening at least one railing post on its upward-facing side and the upward-facing side of the walkway cheek has a cross-sectional profile which preferably runs over the entire length in the longitudinal direction of the walkway cheek, wherein the clamping element has a profile complementary to the cross-sectional profile and the connection is made by the interlocking of the profile shapes of the cross-sectional profile and the complementary profile, and wherein the clamping element is mounted so as to be displaceable along the walkway cheek and is positively connected to the cross-sectional profile when displaced.
- the walkway cheek with the clamping element is preferably arranged on the side of the walkway floor facing away from the machine, i.e. on the outside.
- at least the walkway cheek can also be arranged on the inner side of the walkway floor.
- connection between the walkway stringer and the at least one clamping element is made by using interlocking, complementary profile shapes. It is designed in such a way that the clamping element is mounted so that it can move along the walkway stringer and remains positively connected.
- the components for example the at least one clamping element, can be used flexibly at different locations on the machine or reused during conversions without having to design and manufacture new components or without mechanical processing, such as drilling or thread cutting, being necessary on the components.
- the railing can be adjusted, for example the distance between railing posts, without changing the walkway stringer and while maintaining the safety function of the railing.
- Another advantage is the arrangement of the clamping elements above the walkway stringer.
- the area assigned to the walkway floor and the opposite outer surface of the walkway stringer therefore have no protruding brackets for the railing posts. This increases safety for the staff on the one hand and promotes the cleanliness and maintenance of the machine on the other.
- connection between the at least one clamping element and the walkway stringer can be locked by clamping. This is useful after adjusting the railing for the purpose of fixing.
- the at least one clamping element is designed in two parts.
- the first clamping element part and the second clamping element part are held in position relative to one another by clamping elements, such as screws.
- the clamping elements can thus be used to create a movable or locked connection between the at least one clamping element and the walkway cheek.
- the first clamping element part and the second clamping element part of the at least one clamping element can have positioning elements, preferably tongue and groove. This simplifies the assembly of the at least one clamping element on the catwalk cheek, also with regard to the interlocking, complementary profile shapes.
- the at least one clamping element has a receiving opening for a, preferably round, railing post on the side opposite the complementary profile.
- the railing post can be fixed in the receiving opening by clamping and/or by a positive locking mechanism.
- the at least one clamping element can have a threaded bore for a screw provided with a tip, in particular for a threaded pin, for producing the positive connection.
- the railing post can have a groove in the area of the screw to create a positive connection.
- the walkway stringer is preferably designed to bear the load of the walkway floor.
- the load of the walkway floor is made up of the weight of the walkway floor and the additional load when the walkway floor is in use.
- the walkway cheek has a cavity for accommodating supply lines and/or data lines. This can be achieved cost-effectively by using cavity profiles.
- the walkway sidewall has an opening and/or window on the side facing away from the walkway floor for emitting light signals.
- This can be colored LED light.
- the colors can be assigned meanings. This can be used to inform the machine personnel about the operating status of the machine, about due service or about the safety situation, for example.
- an information element for displaying text and/or images can be integrated into the catwalk side.
- the information element can be an LCD/LED display. This design can also be used to inform machine personnel about the operating status of the machine, about due service or about the safety situation, for example.
- the walkway stringer can be constructed in one piece. This simplifies the structure of the walkway stringer and increases stability.
- the shape of the cross-sectional profile is T-shaped and the shape of the complementary profile is C-shaped.
- the C-shaped profile of at least one clamping element thus encompasses the T-shaped cross-sectional profile of the walkway cheek. If the clamping element is locked onto the walkway cheek, the clamping elements are tightened, i.e. pulled together, until a clamping is created by the C-shaped profile with the T-shaped cross-sectional profile.
- the shape of the cross-sectional profile is designed as a C-profile and the shape of the complementary profile is designed as a T-profile.
- the C-profile-like cross-sectional profile of the walkway cheek thus encompasses the T-profile-like profile of the at least one clamping element. If the clamping element is locked onto the walkway cheek, the tensioning elements of the at least one clamping element are tightened, i.e. the at least one clamping element is spread until a clamping is created by the T-profile-like profile with the C-profile-like cross-sectional profile.
- the walkway stringer can be made of aluminum or stainless steel.
- the Figure 1 shows a section of an embodiment of a walkway 1 according to the invention in a simplified schematic three-dimensional representation.
- the walkway 1 is suitable and intended for attachment to a machine for producing, processing or working on a fibrous web. It comprises a walkway floor 2 lying in a horizontal plane, which is connected at least on one boundary side to a walkway cheek 3 designed as a hollow profile.
- the walkway cheek 3 extends with its long side in the longitudinal direction 5.
- the hollow profile has a hollow space 6. However, several hollow spaces 6 are also possible in accordance with the design in the Figure 2 conceivable.
- the cavities 6 extend in the longitudinal direction 5.
- the walkway 1 also comprises at least one railing post 9, to which a handrail (not shown) is attached.
- the walkway cheek 3 has on its upward-facing side a cross-sectional profile 4, preferably running over the entire length of the walkway cheek 3, for displaceable, positive connection to at least one clamping element 7 having a complementary profile 8.
- the walkway cheek 3 with the clamping element 7 is preferably arranged on the boundary side of the walkway floor 2 facing away from the machine, i.e. on the outside.
- at least the walkway cheek 3 can also be arranged on the inner side of the walkway floor 2, i.e. on the side facing the machine. In the example shown, only one sheet metal strip is arranged on the inside.
- the walkway 1 can have several clamping elements 7, each with a railing post 9.
- connection between the catwalk cheek 3 and the at least one clamping element 7 is created by using or designing the cross-sectional profile 4 and the complementary profile 8 as interlocking, complementary profile shapes. It is designed in such a way that the clamping element 7 is mounted so that it can move along the catwalk cheek 3 and remains positively connected. This means that the components, for example the at least one clamping element 7, can be used flexibly at different locations on the machine or reused during conversions without having to design and manufacture new components.
- the connection between the at least one clamping element 7 and the catwalk cheek 3 can be locked by clamping.
- the at least one clamping element 7 is designed in two parts. Both clamping element parts 7.1, 7.2 are held in position relative to one another by clamping elements 13, such as screws as in this example.
- the clamping elements 13 can thus be used to create a movable or locked connection between the at least one clamping element 7 and the walkway stringer 3.
- a locking mechanism is useful for fixing after an adjustment of the railing.
- An adjustment of the railing for example a change in the distance between the railing posts 9, can be carried out without changing the walkway stringer 3 and while maintaining the safety function of the railing, since after the clamping on the clamping element 7 is released by the clamping elements, the clamping element 7 can be moved and the positive connection between the cross-sectional profile 4 and the complementary profile 8 is maintained.
- the Clamping element 7 is arranged above the walkway cheek 3, i.e. on the upper side.
- the surface assigned to the walkway floor 2 and the opposite outer surface of the walkway cheek 3 therefore have no protruding holders for the railing posts 9, which could be a tripping hazard.
- This design increases safety for the personnel on the one hand and also promotes cleanliness and keeping the machine clean on the other.
- the two clamping element parts 7.1, 7.2 of the at least one clamping element 7 have positioning elements 11, 12, preferably tongue and groove. This also simplifies the assembly of the at least one clamping element 7 on the walkway cheek 3 with regard to the interlocking, complementary profile shapes.
- the at least one clamping element 7 has a receiving opening 10 for a round railing post 9 on the side opposite the complementary profile 8. The railing post 9 is secured in the receiving opening 10 by clamping and by a positive connection.
- the clamping element 7 has a through-threaded hole 14 for a screw with a tip.
- the tip is pressed onto the railing post 9, thus creating a clamp on the one hand and a positive connection on the other. If a screw with a blunt beginning is used, only a clamp is created.
- the walkway cheek 3 is dimensioned so that it can bear the load of the walkway floor. For static reasons, the cross-section transverse to the length of the walkway cheek 3 is therefore higher than it is wide. This increases the bending resistance. For safety reasons, the upper side of the walkway cheek 3 is above the walkway floor. This prevents parts lying on the walkway floor from falling down.
- the walkway side member 3 is made of one piece.
- the walkway side member 3 is made of aluminum.
- FIG 2 is an exemplary cross-sectional shape transverse to the longitudinal direction 5 of a first embodiment of a one-piece walkway cheek 3 in a simplified three-dimensional representation.
- the walkway cheek 3 has several cavities 6 that extend in the longitudinal direction 5. The cavities are separated from each other by webs. The webs increase the stability of the extruded profile.
- the cross-sectional profile for receiving the The shape of the cross-sectional profile is T-shaped and the matching shape of the complementary profile of the clamping element 7 is C-shaped, as shown in the Figures 4 and 5 shown.
- the Figure 3 shows a section of an exemplary second embodiment of a catwalk cheek in a simplified three-dimensional representation. It differs from the embodiments according to Figure 1 to 3 in that an information element 17 for displaying text and/or images is integrated into the catwalk cheek 3.
- the information element 17 can be LCD/LED displays.
- This embodiment can also be used to inform the machine personnel, for example, about the operating status of the machine, about due service or about the safety situation.
- FIG. 4 a section of an exemplary third embodiment of a walkway cheek 3 is shown in a simplified three-dimensional representation.
- supply lines 15 and/or data lines 15 are guided through the cavity 6.
- the walkway cheek 3 has three openings 16 and/or windows 16 on the side facing away from the walkway floor 2 for emitting light signals.
- This can be colored LED light.
- the colors can be assigned meanings. This can be used to inform the machine personnel, for example, about the operating status of the machine, about due service or about the safety situation.
- the Figure 5 shows a first embodiment of a two-part clamping element 7 in a simplified three-dimensional representation.
- a complementary profile 8 is attached to the underside of the clamping element 7, which is designed like a C-profile. It has positioning elements 11, 12, which enable the two clamping element parts 7.1, 7.2 to be positioned in the vertical direction. This is made possible by complementary projections and recesses on the joining surfaces of the two clamping element parts 7.1, 7.2.
- the second embodiment of a two-part clamping element shown in simplified three-dimensional representation differs from the first embodiment in Figure 5 on the one hand in the design of the positioning elements 11, 12 and on the other hand in the threaded hole 14 for receiving a screw for clamping the railing post 9 located in the receiving opening 10.
- the first clamping element part 7.1 has a spring as a positioning element 11, while the second clamping element part 7.2 has a groove.
- the clamping elements 13 designed as screws are shown in the sectional view.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft einen Laufsteg zum Anbau an eine Maschine, insbesondere zum Anbau an eine Maschine zur Herstellung, Verarbeitung oder Bearbeitung einer Faserstoffbahn, umfassend einen Laufstegboden, der mindestens an einer Begrenzungsseite mit einer, vorzugsweise als Hohlprofil ausgeführten, Laufstegwange verbunden ist, sowie mindestens zwei mit der Laufstegwange verbundene Geländerpfosten, an welchen ein Handlauf befestigt ist.The invention relates to a walkway for attachment to a machine, in particular for attachment to a machine for producing, processing or working a fibrous web, comprising a walkway floor which is connected at least on one boundary side to a walkway cheek, preferably designed as a hollow profile, and at least two railing posts connected to the walkway cheek, to which a handrail is attached.
Laufstege dieser Art sind bekannt. Das Dokument
Dokument
Solche bekannten Ausführungen aufwändig, wenig flexibel und müssen für jeden Einsatzort in der Faserbahnmaschine dimensioniert und konstruiert werden. Dies bedeutet eine große Teilevielfalt für große Maschinen mit vielen Laufstegen.Such known designs are complex, not very flexible and have to be dimensioned and designed for each location in the fiber web machine. This means a large variety of parts for large machines with many catwalks.
Die Aufgabe der Erfindung ist es daher einen kostengünstigen und sicheren Laufsteg anzugeben, der im Wesentlichen modular aufgebaut ist und dessen Komponenten zumindest teilweise flexibel einsetzbar, und angeordnet werden können.The object of the invention is therefore to provide a cost-effective and safe walkway which is essentially modular in design and whose components can be used and arranged at least partially flexibly.
Die Aufgabe wird durch Merkmale des Anspruches 1 gelöst. Es wird ein Laufsteg zum Anbau an eine Maschine, insbesondere zum Anbau an eine Maschine zur Herstellung, Verarbeitung oder Bearbeitung einer Faserstoffbahn, vorgeschlagen, umfassend einen Laufstegboden, der mindestens an einer Begrenzungsseite mit einer, vorzugsweise als Hohlprofil ausgeführten, Laufstegwange verbunden ist, sowie mindestens einen Geländerpfosten, an welchem ein Handlauf befestigt ist. Die Erfindung zeichnet sich dadurch aus, dass der Laufsteg mindestens ein Klemmelement zur Befestigung mindestens eines Geländerpfostens an ihrer nach oben weisenden Seite umfasst und die nach oben weisende Seite der Laufstegwange ein, vorzugsweise über die gesamte Länge in Längsrichtung der Laufstegwange verlaufendes, Querschnittsprofil aufweist, wobei das Klemmelement ein zum Querschnittsprofil komplementäres Profil aufweist und die Verbindung durch das Ineinandergreifen der Profilformen von Querschnittsprofil und komplementären Profil hergestellt wird und wobei das Klemmelement entlang der Laufstegwange verschiebbar gelagert ist und beim Verschieben formschlüssig mit dem Querschnittsprofil verbunden ist.The object is achieved by the features of claim 1. A walkway for attachment to a machine, in particular for attachment to a machine for producing, processing or working on a fibrous web, is proposed, comprising a walkway floor which is connected at least on one boundary side to a walkway cheek, preferably designed as a hollow profile, and at least one railing post to which a handrail is attached. The invention is characterized in that the walkway comprises at least one clamping element for fastening at least one railing post on its upward-facing side and the upward-facing side of the walkway cheek has a cross-sectional profile which preferably runs over the entire length in the longitudinal direction of the walkway cheek, wherein the clamping element has a profile complementary to the cross-sectional profile and the connection is made by the interlocking of the profile shapes of the cross-sectional profile and the complementary profile, and wherein the clamping element is mounted so as to be displaceable along the walkway cheek and is positively connected to the cross-sectional profile when displaced.
Die Laufstegwange mit dem Klemmelement wird bevorzugt an der der Maschine abgewandten Begrenzungsseite des Laufstegbodens, das heißt an der Außenseite, angeordnet. Für bestimmte Anwendungsfälle kann zumindest die Laufstegwange jedoch auch an der inneren Seite des Laufstegbodens angeordnet sein.The walkway cheek with the clamping element is preferably arranged on the side of the walkway floor facing away from the machine, i.e. on the outside. For certain applications, however, at least the walkway cheek can also be arranged on the inner side of the walkway floor.
Die Verbindung zwischen der Laufstegwange und dem mindestens einen Klemmelement wird durch die Anwendung von ineinandergreifenden, komplementären Profilformen hergestellt. Sie ist so ausgeführt, dass das Klemmelement entlang der Laufstegwange verschiebbar gelagert ist und dabei formschlüssig verbunden bleibt. Dadurch können die Komponenten, beispielsweise das mindestens eine Klemmelement, flexibel an verschiedenen Einsatzorten der Maschine eingesetzt werden, oder bei Umbauten wiederverwendet werden, ohne dass neue Komponenten konstruiert und hergestellt werden müssen oder ohne dass mechanische Bearbeitungen, wie beispielsweise Bohren, Gewindeschneiden, an den Komponenten notwendig werden. Eine Anpassung des Geländers, beispielsweise des Abstandes von Geländerpfosten, kann ohne Veränderung an der Laufstegwange und unter Beibehaltung der Sicherheitsfunktion des Geländers durchgeführt werden.The connection between the walkway stringer and the at least one clamping element is made by using interlocking, complementary profile shapes. It is designed in such a way that the clamping element is mounted so that it can move along the walkway stringer and remains positively connected. This means that the components, for example the at least one clamping element, can be used flexibly at different locations on the machine or reused during conversions without having to design and manufacture new components or without mechanical processing, such as drilling or thread cutting, being necessary on the components. The railing can be adjusted, for example the distance between railing posts, without changing the walkway stringer and while maintaining the safety function of the railing.
Ein weiterer Vorteil ist die Anordnung der Klemmelemente oberhalb der Laufstegwange. Die dem Laufstegboden zugeordnete Fläche und die gegenüberliegende Außenfläche der Laufstegwange weisen somit keine hervorstehenden Halterungen für die Geländerpfosten auf. Dies erhöht einerseits die Sicherheit für das Personal und begünstigt zum anderen die Sauberkeit und die Sauberhaltung der Maschine.Another advantage is the arrangement of the clamping elements above the walkway stringer. The area assigned to the walkway floor and the opposite outer surface of the walkway stringer therefore have no protruding brackets for the railing posts. This increases safety for the staff on the one hand and promotes the cleanliness and maintenance of the machine on the other.
In einer vorteilhaften praktischen Ausführung ist die Verbindung zwischen dem mindestens einen Klemmelement und der Laufstegwange durch klemmen arretierbar. Dies ist nach einer Anpassung des Geländers zwecks Fixierung sinnvoll.In an advantageous practical design, the connection between the at least one clamping element and the walkway stringer can be locked by clamping. This is useful after adjusting the railing for the purpose of fixing.
In einer bevorzugten Ausführung ist das mindestens eine Klemmelement zweiteilig ausgeführt. Das erste Klemmelementteil und das zweite Klemmelementteil werden durch Spannelemente, wie beispielsweise Schrauben in Position zueinander gehalten. Mit den Spannelementen kann somit eine verschiebbare oder eine arretierte Verbindung zwischen dem mindestens einen Klemmelement und der Laufstegwange hergestellt werden.In a preferred embodiment, the at least one clamping element is designed in two parts. The first clamping element part and the second clamping element part are held in position relative to one another by clamping elements, such as screws. The clamping elements can thus be used to create a movable or locked connection between the at least one clamping element and the walkway cheek.
Das erste Klemmelementteil und das zweite Klemmelementteil des mindestens einen Klemmelements können Positionierelemente, vorzugsweise Nut und Feder, aufweisen. Dadurch wird die Montage des mindestens einen Klemmelements auf der Laufstegwange auch in Bezug auf die ineinandergreifenden, komplementären Profilformen vereinfacht.The first clamping element part and the second clamping element part of the at least one clamping element can have positioning elements, preferably tongue and groove. This simplifies the assembly of the at least one clamping element on the catwalk cheek, also with regard to the interlocking, complementary profile shapes.
In einer bevorzugten praktischen Ausgestaltung weist das mindestens eine Klemmelement auf der dem komplementären Profil gegenüberliegenden Seite eine Aufnahmeöffnung für einen, vorzugsweise runden, Geländerpfosten auf.In a preferred practical embodiment, the at least one clamping element has a receiving opening for a, preferably round, railing post on the side opposite the complementary profile.
Der Geländerpfosten kann in der Aufnahmeöffnung durch Klemmung und/oder durch einen Formschluss befestigt sein.The railing post can be fixed in the receiving opening by clamping and/or by a positive locking mechanism.
Das mindestens eine Klemmelement kann eine Gewindebohrung für eine mit einer Spitze versehenen Schraube, insbesondere für einen Gewindestift, zur Herstellung des Formschlusses aufweisen.The at least one clamping element can have a threaded bore for a screw provided with a tip, in particular for a threaded pin, for producing the positive connection.
In einer weiteren möglichen Ausführungsform kann der Geländerpfosten im Bereich der Schraube eine Nut zur Herstellung eines Formschlusses aufweisen.In a further possible embodiment, the railing post can have a groove in the area of the screw to create a positive connection.
Die Laufstegwange ist vorzugsweise ausgeführt um die Last des Laufstegbodens zu tragen. Die Last des Laufstegbodens setzt sich aus dem Gewicht des Laufstegbodens und dem der zusätzlichen Last bei Benutzung des Laufstegbodens zusammen.The walkway stringer is preferably designed to bear the load of the walkway floor. The load of the walkway floor is made up of the weight of the walkway floor and the additional load when the walkway floor is in use.
Es ist somit auch aus statischen Gründen vorteilhaft, wenn der Querschnitt quer zur Länge der Laufstegwange höher als breit ist.It is therefore also advantageous for static reasons if the cross-section across the length of the catwalk stringer is higher than it is wide.
Es ist aus Sicherheitsgründen auch vorteilhaft, wenn die obere Seite der Laufstegwange über dem Laufstegboden liegt.For safety reasons, it is also advantageous if the upper side of the catwalk stringer is above the catwalk floor.
Vorzugsweise weist die Laufstegwange einen Hohlraum zur Aufnahme von Versorgungsleitungen und/oder Datenleitungen auf. Dies kann kostengünstig durch die Verwendung von Hohlraumprofilen erreicht werden.Preferably, the walkway cheek has a cavity for accommodating supply lines and/or data lines. This can be achieved cost-effectively by using cavity profiles.
In einer möglichen Weiterbildung weist die Laufstegwange auf der dem Laufstegboden abgewandten Seite eine Öffnung und /oder Fenster zur Aussendung von Lichtsignalen auf. Hierbei kann es sich um farbiges LED-Licht handeln. Den Farben können Bedeutungen zugeordnet sein. Dies kann genutzt werde, um das Maschinenpersonal beispielsweise über Betriebszustände der Maschine, über fälligen Service oder über die Sicherheitslage zu informieren.In a possible further development, the walkway sidewall has an opening and/or window on the side facing away from the walkway floor for emitting light signals. This can be colored LED light. The colors can be assigned meanings. This can be used to inform the machine personnel about the operating status of the machine, about due service or about the safety situation, for example.
Entsprechend kann in die Laufstegwange ein Informationselement zum Wiedergeben von Text und/oder Bildern integriert sein. Beim Informationselement kann es sich um LCD/LED-Displays handeln. Diese Ausführungsform kann ebenfalls genutzt werden, um das Maschinenpersonal beispielsweise über Betriebszustände der Maschine, über fälligen Service oder über die Sicherheitslage zu informieren.Accordingly, an information element for displaying text and/or images can be integrated into the catwalk side. The information element can be an LCD/LED display. This design can also be used to inform machine personnel about the operating status of the machine, about due service or about the safety situation, for example.
Ferner kann die Laufstegwange einteilig ausgeführt sein. Dies vereinfacht den Aufbau der Laufstegwange und erhöht die Stabilität.Furthermore, the walkway stringer can be constructed in one piece. This simplifies the structure of the walkway stringer and increases stability.
In einer möglichen Ausgestaltungsvariante ist die Form des Querschnittsprofils T-profilartig ausgeführt und die Form des komplementären Profils C-profilartig ausgeführt. Das C-profilartige Profil des mindestens einen Klemmelements umgreift also das T-profilartige Querschnittsprofil der Laufstegwange. Wird das Klemmelement auf der Laufstegwange arretiert so werden die Spannelemente angezogen, das heißt zusammengezogen, bis eine Klemmung durch das C-profilartige Profil mit dem T-profilartigen Querschnittsprofil entsteht.In one possible design variant, the shape of the cross-sectional profile is T-shaped and the shape of the complementary profile is C-shaped. The C-shaped profile of at least one clamping element thus encompasses the T-shaped cross-sectional profile of the walkway cheek. If the clamping element is locked onto the walkway cheek, the clamping elements are tightened, i.e. pulled together, until a clamping is created by the C-shaped profile with the T-shaped cross-sectional profile.
In einer alternativen Ausführungsform ist die Form des Querschnittsprofils C-profilartig ausgeführt und die Form des komplementären Profils T-profilartig ausgeführt. Das C-profilartige Querschnittsprofil der Laufstegwange umgreift also das T-profilartige Profil des mindestens einen Klemmelements. Wird das Klemmelement auf der Laufstegwange arretiert so werden die Spannelemente des mindestens einen Klemmelements angezogen, das heißt das mindestens eine Klemmelement gespreizt, bis eine Klemmung durch das T-profilartige Profil mit dem C-profilartigen Querschnittsprofil entsteht.In an alternative embodiment, the shape of the cross-sectional profile is designed as a C-profile and the shape of the complementary profile is designed as a T-profile. The C-profile-like cross-sectional profile of the walkway cheek thus encompasses the T-profile-like profile of the at least one clamping element. If the clamping element is locked onto the walkway cheek, the tensioning elements of the at least one clamping element are tightened, i.e. the at least one clamping element is spread until a clamping is created by the T-profile-like profile with the C-profile-like cross-sectional profile.
Die Laufstegwange kann aus Aluminium oder Edelstahl bestehen.The walkway stringer can be made of aluminum or stainless steel.

Die Verbindung zwischen der Laufstegwange 3 und dem mindestens einen Klemmelement 7 wird durch die Anwendung bzw. die Ausbildung des Querschnittsprofils 4 und des komplementären Profils 8 als ineinandergreifende, komplementäre Profilformen hergestellt. Sie ist so ausgeführt, dass das Klemmelement 7 entlang der Laufstegwange 3 verschiebbar gelagert ist und dabei formschlüssig verbunden bleibt. Dadurch können die Komponenten, beispielsweise das mindestens eine Klemmelement 7, flexibel an verschiedenen Einsatzorten der Maschine eingesetzt werden, oder bei Umbauten wiederverwendet werden, ohne dass neue Komponenten konstruiert und hergestellt werden müssen. Die Verbindung zwischen dem mindestens einen Klemmelement 7 und der Laufstegwange 3 ist durch Klemmen arretierbar. Hierzu ist das mindestens eine Klemmelement 7 zweiteilig ausgeführt. Beide Klemmelementteile 7.1, 7.2 werden durch Spannelemente 13, wie beispielsweise Schrauben wie in diesem Beispiel, in Position zueinander gehalten. Mit den Spannelementen 13 kann somit eine verschiebbare oder eine arretierte Verbindung zwischen dem mindestens einen Klemmelement 7 und der Laufstegwange 3 hergestellt werden. Eine Arretierung ist nach einer Anpassung des Geländers zur Fixierung sinnvoll. Eine Anpassung des Geländers, beispielsweise eine Veränderung des Abstandes der Geländerpfosten 9, kann ohne Veränderung an der Laufstegwange 3 und unter Beibehaltung der Sicherheitsfunktion des Geländers durchgeführt werden, da nach dem Lösen der Klemmung am Klemmelement 7 durch die Spannelemente das Klemmelement 7 verschiebbar ist und der Formschluss zwischen dem Querschnittsprofil 4 und dem komplementären Profil 8 erhalten bleibt. Das Klemmelement 7 ist oberhalb der Laufstegwange 3, das heißt an der oberen Seite, angeordnet. Die dem Laufstegboden 2 zugeordnete Fläche und die gegenüberliegende Außenfläche der Laufstegwange 3 weisen somit keine hervorstehenden Halterungen für die Geländerpfosten 9, die eine Stolpergefahr sein können, auf. Diese Ausgestaltung erhöht einerseits die Sicherheit für das Personal und begünstigt zum anderen auch die Sauberkeit und die Sauberhaltung der Maschine. Die beiden Klemmelementteile 7.1, 7.2 des mindestens einen Klemmelements 7 weisen Positionierelemente 11, 12, vorzugsweise Nut und Feder, auf. Dadurch wird die Montage des mindestens einen Klemmelements 7 auf der Laufstegwange 3 auch in Bezug auf die ineinandergreifenden, komplementären Profilformen vereinfacht. Das mindestens eine Klemmelement 7 weist auf der dem komplementären Profil 8 gegenüberliegenden Seite eine Aufnahmeöffnung 10 für einen runden, Geländerpfosten 9 auf. Der Geländerpfosten 9 ist in der Aufnahmeöffnung 10 durch Klemmung und durch einen Formschluss befestigt. Dafür besitzt das Klemmelement 7 eine durchgehende Gewindebohrung 14 für eine mit einer Spitze versehenen Schraube. Beim Anziehen der Schraube wird die Spitze auf den Geländerpfosten 9 gedrückt und somit einerseits eine Klemmung und andererseits der Formschluss hergestellt. Wird eine Schraube mit einem stumpfen Anfang verwendet entsteht nur eine Klemmung. Es ist auch möglich, die Maße der Aufnahmeöffnung 10 so auf den Geländerpfosten 9 abzustimmen, dass dieser beim Spannen der beiden Klemmelementteile 7.1, 7.2 durch die Spannelemente 13 geklemmt wird. Die Laufstegwange 3 ist so dimensioniert, dass sie die Last des Laufstegbodens tragen kann. Aus statischen Gründen ist daher der Querschnitt quer zur Länge der Laufstegwange 3 höher als breit. Dadurch wird der Biegewiderstand erhöht. Aus Sicherheitsgründen liegt die obere Seite der Laufstegwange 3 über dem Laufstegboden. Dadurch wird das Herabfallen von Teilen, die auf dem Laufstegboden liegen, verhindert. Die Laufstegwange 3 ist einteilig ausgeführt. Die Laufstegwange 3 besteht aus Aluminium.The connection between the
