Description

Scaffolding standard for vertical installation in a scaffolding section

The invention relates to a scaffolding post, in particular for vertically oriented installation in a scaffolding section, comprising a base post which extends along a longitudinal axis, at least one connecting disk which is fastened to the base post, the connecting disk enclosing the base post and in the radial direction to the longitudinal axis and in Circumferentially around the entire base post, at least two connection hooks, which are attached to an outer peripheral surface of the base post and extend radially away from the longitudinal axis in a plan view from a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, in a direction of extent, and at least two partial connecting disks, which Base stem are attached, the partial connection discs in the radial direction to the longitudinal axis, viewed in the circumferential direction around the base stem, protrude over the base stem to different extents. The invention further relates to a scaffolding section with a base post and a method for constructing such a scaffolding section.

Scaffolding is used in the construction sector for various tasks. Easade scaffolding is used to design the outer surfaces of buildings, for example to paint them. Façade scaffolding is usually constructed from façade scaffolding frames as the main components, and more recently these have also been constructed from modular scaffolding. In civil engineering, shoring is used to bring a wide variety of building components into position and hold them there. Such building parts can be, for example, prefabricated concrete parts, steel girders or steel structures. Furthermore, elements required for the erection of buildings, such as makeshift constructions or formwork with shoring, can be positioned. Finally, scaffolding is also used in the service or revision area, for example to bring workers safely to the parts of the plant to be overhauled in large process engineering plants, such as refineries. In general, the basic requirements for scaffolding are that they must be easy to transport and set up. A large number of scaffolds have a modular structure, which means that different shapes and sizes of scaffolds can be assembled from standard components according to the modular principle. In most cases, there are standard components that are mainly used when erecting a scaffold with a vertical orientation, and other standard components that are mainly used with a horizontal orientation. Vertically oriented standard components are usually referred to as vertical standards or scaffolding standards. The horizontally oriented components that can be connected are often referred to as horizontal ledgers or scaffold ledgers. When erecting a scaffolding or scaffolding section, several scaffolding standards are oriented parallel to one another and then connected with several horizontal ledgers oriented at right angles to them. The scaffolding elements are connected via interfaces. In this way, scaffolding or scaffolding sections with several floors can be built up in a simple manner. On higher floors of such scaffolding sections, care must be taken to ensure that railings are attached so that people on these higher floors cannot fall off the scaffolding section and injure themselves. Scaffolding posts are known which, on the one hand, have at least one interface for connection to horizontal bars and, on the other hand, are provided with so-called railing hooks that allow railings to be hung on higher floors. The disadvantage of this known scaffolding post is that the load-bearing capacity and load-bearing capacity of a scaffolding section constructed from these scaffolding posts does not meet some requirements. Particularly in the case of higher scaffolding, higher loads act on the lower and middle floors, which cannot be safely absorbed and dissipated by the known scaffolding standards. However, these higher demands on the load-bearing capacity usually only exist in the lower and middle floors of a scaffold or scaffold section, on the other hand lower loads occur on the upper floors and the known scaffolding standards are sufficiently load-bearing. To counteract this problem, different types of scaffolding standards can be used on the lower and middle floors than on the upper floors. However, this then requires the availability of different variants of scaffolding standards, which unintentionally increases the logistical effort on the construction site.

The object of the invention is therefore to propose solutions with which scaffolding levels of different load-bearing capacities can be provided in a simple manner using a single variant of a scaffolding post. This object of the invention is achieved by a scaffolding post, in particular for vertically oriented installation in a scaffolding section

- a base stem, which extends along a longitudinal axis,

- at least one connecting disk which is attached to the base stem and which has at least one connecting surface which is oriented perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis, with several receiving openings being made in the connecting disk, which extend from the connecting surface in the direction of the longitudinal axis and penetrate the connecting disk and wherein the connecting disc encloses the base stem and protrudes in the radial direction to the longitudinal axis and in the circumferential direction around the entire base stem,

- at least two connection hooks, which are attached to an outer peripheral surface of the base post and extend radially away from the longitudinal axis in a direction of extension in a plan view from a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis,

- at least two partial connecting disks, which are fastened to the base stem and which have at least one connecting surface which is oriented perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis, wherein a plurality of receiving openings are made in each of the partial connecting disks, which extend from the connecting surface in the direction of the longitudinal axis and penetrate the partial connecting disk and wherein the partial connecting disks protrude over the base stem to different extents in the radial direction to the longitudinal axis, viewed in the circumferential direction around the base stem, each partial connecting disk projecting less radially beyond the base stem in a direction parallel to the direction of extent than in directions perpendicular and opposite to the direction of extent and wherein the terminal hooks protrude further beyond the peripheral surface of the base stem in the direction of extension than the partial connection discs project beyond the peripheral surface of the base stem v. in the direction of extension standing.

A scaffolding post according to the invention is preferably provided for vertically oriented installation in a scaffolding section. However, such a scaffold post can of course also be built into a scaffold section in other orientations. The scaffolding post includes a base post extending along a longitudinal axis. The length along the longitudinal axis is preferably greater than the diameter of the base stem perpendicular to the longitudinal axis by at least five actuators. At least one connecting disk is fastened to the base post, which is provided for connecting scaffolding elements to the base post. The connecting disk points a connecting surface oriented perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis, in which several receiving openings are made. These receiving openings form interfaces for connection to other framework elements. The connecting disk is fastened to an outer peripheral surface of the base post and encloses it, preferably completely, in the peripheral direction. The connecting disk protrudes in the radial direction beyond the outer peripheral surface of the base stem, around its entire circumference. It is possible that the distance that the connecting disc protrudes beyond the outer peripheral surface of the base stem varies circumferentially. The scaffolding post according to the invention also includes at least two connection hooks, which are also provided for connection to other scaffolding elements. The connection hooks are arranged at a distance from one another along the longitudinal axis. Each terminal hook is fixed to the outer peripheral surface of the base stem. Each of the terminal hooks extends radially away from the base post in a direction of extension in a plan view from a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis. The direction of extension is a direction that clarifies the definition of the position of the terminal hooks and the part connecting washers described later. The direction of extent runs perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the base post. A scaffolding post according to the invention also comprises at least two partial connecting disks which can be designed in areas the same as or similar to the connecting disk. Each sub-connecting disk is attached to the base stem and has a connecting surface perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. Several receiving openings are made in this connecting surface, which, like the receiving openings in the connecting disk, serve as interfaces for connecting to other framework elements. The sub-connecting disc protrudes in the circumferential direction around the base stem to different extents beyond the outer circumferential surface of the base stem. This means that the part-connection disc projects further radially beyond the outer surface of the base stem in one area than in another area. However, in a direction parallel to the direction of extent, the partial connecting disk always protrudes less radially beyond the base post than in the opposite direction and in directions perpendicular to the direction of extent. In other words, in the direction in which the connecting hooks are oriented, the partial connecting disk protrudes less far than in other directions radial to the longitudinal axis. In the direction of extension, the connection hooks protrude radially further beyond the base stem than the partial connecting disk. This different projection of the connecting disc over the base post in the circumferential direction ensures that the area around the connecting hooks is good is accessible to allow the connection of different scaffolding elements to the connection hook. At the same time, the partial connecting discs have sufficient space for interfaces for connecting scaffolding elements to the scaffolding standard. The provision of two connecting hooks and two partial connecting disks in the described arrangement on the base post means that the scaffolding post according to the invention can be installed in a scaffolding section in two different rotational positions about its longitudinal axis. These two different rotational positions allow either a connection with a first type of framework element or with a second type of framework element. The first type of framework element has interfaces which are provided for connection to the partial connection disk, in particular to its receiving openings. The second type of framework element has interfaces which are intended for connection to the connection hooks. Depending on the orientation of the direction of extension relative to other framework elements in the framework section, the connection with the first type of framework element or with the second type of framework element can be selected. The first type of scaffolding element, which is intended for connection to the partial connecting disk, can also be connected to the connecting disk. This first type can usually absorb and transmit higher loads in the form of forces and moments. The installation of elements of the first type thus makes it possible to design a scaffolding section with a higher load-bearing capacity than the installation of elements of the second type, which is intended to be connected to the connection hooks. The rotational position of the scaffolding post about its longitudinal axis can thus be used to select whether the scaffolding post is to be used to erect a scaffolding section with normal load-bearing capacity or to erect a scaffolding section with increased load-bearing capacity. If a scaffolding section with increased load-bearing capacity is to be erected, the scaffolding standard is oriented in such a way that scaffolding elements of the first type can be connected with the partial connecting disks. Scaffolding elements of the first type are horizontal bars, for example. Scaffolding elements of the second type are, for example, handrails. The scaffolding post according to the invention is intended so that at least two scaffolding elements can be connected to it in any rotational position about the longitudinal axis, which serve as railings or fall protection for people working on the scaffolding section. In order to ensure safe fall protection, two scaffolding elements running essentially parallel to one another must always be provided as railings. With a scaffolding post according to the invention, such a safe fall protection can be used on both the two connection hooks can also be attached to the two partial connecting discs. A scaffolding post according to the invention thus makes it possible to erect scaffolding sections with different load-bearing capacities in a flexible manner. A single type of scaffolding post can thus be used to construct scaffolding sections with different properties. This has significant advantages for the logistics on the construction site, since different types of scaffolding standards do not have to be kept ready for scaffolding sections with different load-bearing capacities. The number of different components for a framework or a framework section is thus reduced. In addition, a scaffold post according to the invention also makes it possible to increase the load-bearing capacity with little effort and in a short time during or even after the erection of a scaffold section. For this purpose, for example, a scaffolding post that was installed in a rotated position in order to be connected to scaffolding elements of the second type can easily be rotated about its longitudinal axis and then connected to the more stable scaffolding elements of the first type. Various embodiments of the scaffold are described below.

In one embodiment it is provided that along the longitudinal axis, starting from a first end of the base post, the connecting disk is arranged in the first third of the length of the base post, the first partial connecting disk is arranged in the second third of the length of the base post and the second partial connecting disk is arranged in the third third of the length of the base post. In this embodiment, starting from a first end, the connecting disk is arranged first, which is located in the first third of the length of the base post. One of the two partial connection disks is arranged in the other two thirds of the base post. It is also possible to attach more than two partial connecting discs to the base post regularly or irregularly at a distance from one another. An arrangement in which a connecting disk or a partial connecting disk is arranged in each third endang of the length of the base post causes a symmetrical introduction of force into the scaffolding post and a symmetrical transmission of force from the scaffolding post to the other scaffolding elements. This regular arrangement allows the load-bearing capacity of a scaffolding section to be significantly increased by installing a scaffolding post according to the invention in combination with other corresponding scaffolding elements.

It is preferably provided that along the longitudinal axis, starting from a first end of the base post, first the connecting disk, spaced therefrom a first partial connecting disk and on the side of the first partial connecting disk opposite the connecting disk, a second partial connecting disk is arranged at a distance from one another, wherein the distance between the connecting disk and the first partial connecting disk and the distance between the first partial connecting disk and the second partial connecting disk is the same size or differs by a maximum of 30%, based on the distance between the connecting disk and the first partial connecting disk, differ from each other. In this embodiment, too, the connecting disc and the partial connecting discs are distributed over the length of the base post. This is particularly advantageous when attaching scaffolding elements that are intended to serve as fall protection. By arranging the connecting disk and the partial connecting disks at the same or at least similar distances from one another, particularly safe fall protection is made possible.

In one embodiment it is provided that the shape and size of the receiving openings in the partial connecting disk is identical to the shape and size of the receiving openings in the connecting disk, the number of receiving openings in the connecting disk being greater than the number of receiving openings in the partial connecting disk. In this embodiment, the receiving openings in the partial connecting disk are identical and are therefore designed to be compatible with the receiving openings in the connecting disk. As a result, scaffolding elements which are provided for connection to a known connecting disk can also be connected in the usual way to a partial connecting disk. The connecting disk, which extends around the base post, has a larger number of receiving openings than the partial connecting disk. The partial connecting disk thus has only part of the connection possibilities of the connecting disk.

Furthermore, it is provided that the partial connecting disk and the connecting hook are arranged at a distance from one another in the direction of the longitudinal axis. In this embodiment, there is a distance between each connection hook and a partial connecting disk. This makes it possible for fall protection devices to be connected to the scaffolding standard in approximately the same position relative to the longitudinal axis. Horizontal bars, which can be connected to the partial connecting disk, usually protrude in the longitudinal direction beyond the connecting surface, so that the upper edge of a horizontal bar facing away from the connecting disk is positioned at a distance from the partial connecting disk. One However, the railing rod, which is attached to a connection hook, does not protrude or protrudes only very slightly in the longitudinal direction beyond the connection hook. The objectionable arrangement of partial connecting disk and connection hook ensures that a horizontal ledger used as fall protection and a handrail used as alternative fall protection assume a similar or the same position relative to the scaffold standard in the direction of the longitudinal axis. This provides effective protection against falling in both cases.

Provision is advantageously made for the base post to be hollow on the inside, at least in some areas, and for an interface to be connected to another scaffolding post to be provided at least at one of its ends. In this embodiment, the scaffolding post is stable and still has a low weight. The two interfaces at the ends of the base post are preferably designed in such a way that they are compatible with corresponding interfaces on a known, already existing scaffolding post. In this way, a scaffolding post according to the invention can be flexibly combined with existing scaffolding posts.

In one embodiment it is provided that the partial connecting disk is designed identically to a partial area of the connecting disk, this partial area being defined in a plan view from a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis by a circumferential angle around the longitudinal axis, within which the partial connecting disk and the connecting disk are identical, wherein the circumferential angle, which is composed of two half circumferential angles and half the circumferential angle is defined from a direction that is opposite to the direction of extent to an imaginary straight line through the longitudinal axis, the circumferential angle being at least 180°, preferably at least 220°. In this embodiment, the partial connecting disk corresponds to a partial area of the connecting disk of the scaffolding post. This means that the partial connecting disk represents a part of the connecting disk. However, the partial connecting disk does not have a partial area which is provided on the connecting disk. This sub-area is a sub-area which is arranged in the direction of extension to the longitudinal axis. The partial area which is identical in the partial connecting disk and the connecting disk can be defined by the circumferential angle described above. Within this circumferential angle, the connecting disk and the partial connecting disk are identical. Outside of this circumferential angle is the Connecting disc designed differently to the partial connecting disc. The circumferential angle at which the partial connecting disk and the connecting disk are designed to be identical is preferably at least 220°.

In an alternative embodiment it is provided that the partial connecting disk is designed identically to a partial area of the connecting disk, this partial area being delimited by a straight edge which is oriented in a direction perpendicular to the direction of extent and the edge in the direction of extent of the longitudinal axis at a distance is arranged, which corresponds to the distance from the longitudinal axis to the outer peripheral surface of the base stem in the direction of extension +/- 20%. In this embodiment, the partial connecting disk also corresponds to a partial area of the connecting disk. However, an edge is used here to define this identical partial area, which represents an alternative definition to the circumferential angle described above. This edge is preferably straight, but can also have a curved shape, at least in some areas. The edge is at least partially oriented perpendicularly to the direction of extension and delimits the partial connecting disk in the direction of extension. The edge is spaced from the longitudinal axis. This distance can vary, for example this distance can correspond to the distance between the outer peripheral surface of the base post and the longitudinal axis. In this case, the edge is flush with the outer peripheral surface of the base post. Alternatively, however, the distance can also be larger and smaller, so that the edge is either set back with respect to the outer peripheral surface of the base post or protrudes beyond it.

Furthermore, it is provided that the connecting disk has four receiving openings, which are each arranged around the longitudinal axis at an angle of 90° to one another, and the partial connecting disk has three receiving openings, of which two adjacent receiving openings to a receiving opening arranged between them around the longitudinal axis in one Angles of 90° are arranged, with one of the receiving openings of the connecting disk being oriented in the direction of extension and the three receiving openings of the partial connecting disk being aligned with the three receiving openings of the connecting disk, which are not oriented in the direction of extent. In this embodiment, the sub-connecting disk has a total of three receiving openings, each of which has three Align the mounting openings in the connecting disc. The connecting disk has a further receiving opening which is not aligned with any receiving openings of the partial connecting disk. In the direction of extent, a receiving opening is therefore only provided in the connecting disk, the partial connecting disk has no receiving opening in the direction of extent.

In an advantageous embodiment, it is provided that a connection receptacle is provided, which is fastened to the outer peripheral surface of the base post, the connection receptacle projecting beyond the base post in a direction opposite to the direction of extension and the connection receptacle having at least one connection surface which is parallel to the longitudinal axis and parallel to the Is oriented in the direction of extension, wherein a connection opening is introduced in the connection surface, which penetrates a portion of the connection receptacle. Optionally, a connection receptacle can be arranged on the outside of the base post. Such a connection receptacle can be used, for example, to attach a diagonal strut to the scaffolding post. Alternatively, other scaffolding elements can be connected to the scaffolding standard via the connection socket. This connection receptacle is fixedly attached to the base post in a direction opposite to the direction of extension. The connection receptacle comprises at least one connection surface, which is used to attach a framework element. For this purpose, at least one connection opening is introduced in the connection surface, through which a form fit of the scaffolding standard with another scaffolding element can be produced. In principle, the connection receptacle can be shaped in different ways and, for example, in a simple embodiment it can be formed by a plate which extends radially away from the base post, comprises a preferably planar connection surface and a connection opening penetrating the plate.

In one embodiment, it is provided that the connection receptacle is U-shaped and has two mutually parallel oriented connection surfaces, which form the legs of the U and a connection area is provided which connects the two connection surfaces to one another, with a connection opening in each of the two connection surfaces is introduced and the two connection openings are aligned with one another. The connection receptacle can have the shape of a U in a plan view. The two legs each provide a connection surface in which a connection opening is introduced. Between the two Legs is a center piece which extends at right angles to each leg. In this way, two spaced-apart, parallel connection surfaces are made available, which are advantageous for the transmission of moments between a connected scaffolding element and the scaffolding post.

Provision is made for the connection receptacle to be positioned in the direction of the longitudinal axis between the connecting disk and the partial connecting disk. This position is particularly useful for attaching or attaching diagonal struts to the connection mount. However, the connection receptacle can also be attached to the base post at a different position in the longitudinal direction.

In one embodiment it is provided that at least two connecting disks are provided, which are arranged on opposite sides of the partial connecting disk, in particular in the direction of the longitudinal axis. It is also possible to attach two or more connecting discs to the scaffolding post. For example, a first connecting washer may be located in the first quarter of the length from a first end of the base stem and a second connecting washer may also be located in the first quarter of its length from the opposite end of the base stem. By providing several connecting disks, the number of connecting points to the other scaffolding elements can be increased, which enables an additional improvement in the load-bearing capacity of a scaffolding section with such a scaffolding post.

It is provided that the connection hook comprises a holding area which extends along the direction of extension and the connection hook furthermore comprises a securing area which is oriented at an angle, in particular at a right angle, to the holding area and the securing area points away from the adjacently arranged partial connecting disk. The connection hook comprises a holding area which extends away from the base post along the extension direction. If the base post is built into a scaffolding section with a vertical orientation, the holding area is oriented essentially horizontally and holds a scaffolding element fastened to it, in particular a railing rod. A safety area is provided at right angles to the holding area, which extends at right angles to the holding area and is intended to ensure that a scaffolding element hung on the holding area cannot accidentally be hung slips off the holding area and is thus secured. The security area can be cylindrical or have additional projections that ensure that a suspended scaffolding element is not accidentally pulled off the holding area and the security area.

The object of the invention is also achieved by a scaffolding section with at least one scaffolding post according to one of the previously described embodiments, the scaffolding post being oriented essentially vertically, further comprising at least one scaffolding element which is formed by a horizontal ledger or a handrail and which is essentially horizontal is oriented, with either a railing rod being connected in a form-fitting manner to a connection hook of the scaffolding post or a horizontal bar being connected in a form-fitting manner to a partial connection disc.

A scaffolding section according to the invention comprises at least one scaffolding post and a scaffolding element connected thereto. The scaffolding element can be either a ledger or a handrail. If the scaffolding element is a horizontal ledger, this is positively connected to a partial connecting plate. In such a scaffolding section, the horizontal ledger is used on the one hand as fall protection or railing and on the other hand as a stiffener, which increases the load-bearing capacity of the scaffolding section. Alternatively, the scaffolding section comprises a railing rod as a scaffolding element, which is connected to a connection hook. In such a scaffolding section, the railing serves as a fall protection or railing. An advantage of a scaffolding section according to the invention is that a single type of scaffolding post can be both part of a scaffolding section with a horizontal ledger and part of a scaffolding section with a handrail. Depending on which embodiment of the scaffolding section is to be selected, a scaffolding element is connected either with a connecting hook or with a partial connecting disk. A scaffolding section according to the invention preferably has further scaffolding elements and/or scaffolding posts.

In one embodiment of the scaffolding section it is provided that at least two scaffolding posts are provided, which are essentially parallel to one another and are oriented vertically, with either a railing rod having a connection hook of each scaffolding post in a form-fitting manner is connected or a horizontal ledger is positively connected to a partial connection disk of each scaffolding standard. In this embodiment, two scaffolding posts are provided, which are connected to one another either by a railing rod or by a horizontal bar. In both alternatives, the scaffolding posts are oriented in the direction of rotation about their longitudinal axis in such a way that the direction of extension of both scaffolding posts is oriented in parallel. Depending on the direction of rotation or alignment of the direction of extension, the two scaffolding standards are connected either via a connection hook on each scaffolding standard or via a partial connecting disk on each scaffolding standard.

In a further embodiment it is provided that at least one diagonal strut is provided, which is positively connected to a connection receptacle of a scaffolding post. In this embodiment, the scaffolding section also includes a diagonal strut, which is connected to the connection receptacle of a scaffolding post. A first end of the diagonal strut is connected to the connection receptacle and the opposite, second end of the diagonal strut is connected to another element outside the frame section. If the scaffolding section comprises a plurality of scaffolding standards, in particular arranged one above the other, the diagonal strut can also be connected with its second end to a scaffolding element within the scaffolding section.

It is optionally possible for at least four scaffolding posts to be provided, with two scaffolding posts being connected to one another in the direction of the longitudinal axis and arranged one above the other in a vertically oriented manner, with one such combination of two scaffolding posts being oriented parallel to another such combination of two scaffolding posts, with one of the lower scaffolding standards is connected to a horizontal bar and one end of the horizontal bar is positively connected to a partial connecting disk and one of the upper scaffolding standards is connected to a railing rod and one end of the railing rod is positively connected to a connecting hook and the connecting hook and the direction of extension of the upper two scaffolding posts are oriented in the opposite direction to the terminal hook and the direction of extension of the two lower railing posts. In this embodiment, the framework section forms a two-dimensional object or a two-dimensional frame, which extends over two framework levels arranged one above the other. Such a scaffold section is preferred installed on the side of a scaffold facing away from a building or facade. The scaffolding section comprises four scaffolding posts, of which the extension direction of the lower two scaffolding posts points in the opposite direction to the extension direction of the two upper scaffolding posts. Scaffolding standards connected to one another in the direction of the longitudinal axis thus have opposite directions of extension. The two lower scaffolding standards are each connected to a horizontal ledger via a partial connecting disc, which provides fall protection and stiffening of this part of the scaffolding section. The two upper scaffolding standards are each connected to a railing rod via a connection hook. This upper part of the scaffolding section is less load-bearing, but is lighter and less expensive by using or installing the baluster. This scaffolding section makes it particularly clear how flexibly the scaffolding post can be used to design different scaffolding sections. Four identical scaffolding standards can be used to design scaffolding sections or scaffolding floors with different load-bearing capacities simply by changing their installation position in relation to other scaffolding elements. It is particularly advantageous that even while the scaffolding section is being erected, the rotational position of individual scaffolding standards about the longitudinal axis can still be changed in order to subsequently increase the load-bearing capacity or rigidity of this part of the scaffolding section. Due to the compatibility of the scaffolding post with known scaffolding posts when connecting along the longitudinal axis, the two upper scaffolding posts in the described embodiment can also be replaced by conventional or known scaffolding posts without partial connecting disks.

Furthermore, it is provided that at least one diagonal strut is positively connected with a first end to a connection receptacle of one of the two lower scaffolding posts and with a second end positively connected to a connection receptacle of one of the two upper scaffolding posts. In this embodiment, at least one diagonal strut is additionally installed in a scaffold section according to the embodiment described above. A first end of this diagonal strut is connected to a connection receptacle of one of the lower scaffolding standards with a first orientation direction. The second end of the diagonal strut is connected to one of the upper scaffolding posts, the direction of extension of which is reverse to the lower scaffolding posts. Due to the design of the scaffolding posts, a diagonal strut can be connected to a scaffolding post with opposite directions of extension. The carrying capacity of the scaffolding section can be additionally increased by one or more such diagonal struts.

In a further embodiment of the scaffolding section, at least eight scaffolding standards are provided, with two scaffolding standards being connected to one another in the direction of the longitudinal axis and arranged one above the other in a vertically oriented manner, one such combination of two scaffolding columns being connected to another such combination of two scaffolding columns is oriented parallel, with the two lower scaffolding standards being connected to a horizontal ledger and one end of this horizontal ledger being positively connected to a partial connecting disk of a scaffolding standard and the two upper scaffolding standards being connected to a handrail rod and one end of the handrail rod to a connection hook of a scaffolding standard is positively connected and wherein the connection hook and the direction of extension of the upper two scaffolding posts in the opposite direction to the connection hook and the direction of extension of the two lower railing post le are aligned, whereby a two-dimensional frame is formed, and wherein, furthermore, two scaffolding posts are connected to one another in the direction of the longitudinal axis and arranged one above the other, oriented vertically, whereby two further associations are formed by two scaffolding posts oriented one above the other and these further associations are each parallel to one of the associations are oriented from the two-dimensional frame and positioned at a distance from the two-dimensional frame, with the two further associations each being arranged in the direction of extension or in a direction opposite thereto of a scaffolding standard in the two-dimensional frame and the two further associations each being supported by at least two horizontally oriented horizontal ledgers are connected to the two-dimensional framework, these horizontal bars each having a partial connecting disk or a connecting disk of a scaffolding post in the two-dimensional framework and a partial connecting ing disk or a connecting disk of a scaffolding standard are positively connected in a further compound. This embodiment is based on the previously described embodiment with a total of four two-dimensionally arranged scaffolding posts. In addition, in the embodiment described here, four further scaffolding posts are provided, two of which each form an association of two scaffolding posts connected to one another in the longitudinal direction. These dressings are arranged to the two-dimensional framework such that a three-dimensional framework section is formed. The two associations are over Horizontal bars connected to the two-dimensional frame. The unions can be connected to the two-dimensional frame by connecting the horizontal bars to each other with partial connecting disks, each with connecting disks or both with partial connecting disks and connecting disks. The assemblies are preferably connected to the two-dimensional frame via a connecting disk per scaffolding post. In addition, a connection with a horizontal bar is preferably created at least on the lower floor, which is created from a bond to the two-dimensional frame via a partial connection disk in each case. In this way, the part connecting sheave contributes to the installation of another ledger, which increases the rigidity or load-bearing capacity of the lower scaffolding level. However, it is also possible to connect the two assemblies to the two-dimensional frame only via horizontal bars, which are connected to the connecting disks. In this way, the steps on the lower and upper floors remain freely accessible, which makes working on the scaffolding section easier.

In a preferred embodiment, it is provided that four of the scaffolding standards define a lower level of the scaffolding section, with adjacently arranged scaffolding standards on the lower level being connected by at least one horizontal ledger, with these horizontal ledgers each being positively connected to a partial connecting disk of the adjacent scaffolding standards and four others Scaffolding posts define an upper floor of the scaffolding section, with at least two adjacent scaffolding posts on the upper floor being connected to one another by a horizontally oriented railing rod, with this railing rod being positively connected to a connecting hook of the adjacent scaffolding posts. In this embodiment, eight scaffolding posts are provided, four of which form a lower tier and the other four form an upper tier of the scaffolding section. At least two adjacent scaffolding standards are connected on each floor in such a way that there is fall protection. These are preferably scaffolding standards which are arranged adjacent to one another endang the longitudinal direction of the scaffolding. Further scaffolding elements can of course be provided, for example in the transverse direction of the scaffolding, which extends at right angles to a facade or a building on which the scaffolding or the scaffolding section is arranged. In a further embodiment, it is provided that on the lower level of the scaffolding section at least two adjacent scaffolding standards are connected via two parallel oriented horizontal bars, which are each positively connected to a partial connecting disk of a scaffolding standard, and on the upper level of the scaffolding section at least two adjacent scaffolding standards are connected via two parallel oriented railing rods are connected, which are each positively connected to a connection hook of a scaffolding post. This embodiment also comprises at least eight scaffolding posts, four of which are arranged on a lower floor and four on an upper floor of a scaffolding section. In this embodiment, at least two adjacent scaffolding standards on each floor are connected to one another either by two horizontal ledgers or by two handrails. This provides a particularly safe fall protection. At the same time, the bottom floor, which has two horizontal ledgers arranged in parallel between at least two scaffolding points, is particularly stable.

The object of the invention is also achieved by a method for constructing a scaffolding section according to one of the previously described embodiments, comprising the steps

A) providing at least one scaffolding post according to one of the embodiments described above,

B) decision as to whether a framework section with increased rigidity is required, in which case the method is continued with method step C), or whether a framework section with lower rigidity is required, in which case the method is continued with method step D),

C) Connection of a horizontal ledger to a partial connecting disk of the scaffold standard, whereby one end of the horizontal ledger is positively connected to the partial connecting disk,

D) Connection of a handrail to a connection hook of the scaffolding standard, whereby one end of the handrail becomes form-fitting with the connection hook.

The method according to the invention is used to construct a scaffolding section using at least one scaffolding post, the load-bearing capacity of this scaffolding section being variable. The process is preferably carried out in the specified order of process steps A) to D). In a first method step A), at least one scaffold post is provided. Preferably, however, multiple scaffolding posts are provided to construct a scaffolding section.

In a second method step B), a decision is made as to whether a scaffolding section with normal, known load-bearing capacity or rigidity should be created or whether a scaffolding section with increased load-bearing capacity or rigidity should be erected. This decision influences the further procedure in the procedure. If a scaffolding section with increased load-bearing capacity is to be erected, the at least one scaffolding post is oriented in such a way that the direction of extension points into the interior of the scaffolding section, with the connection hooks likewise pointing into this interior of the scaffolding section. If a scaffolding section with normal load-bearing capacity is to be created, the rotational position of the scaffolding standard in the scaffolding section is selected in the opposite direction, so that the direction of extension points outwards, in relation to the scaffolding section. Accordingly, the method continues with method step C) if a scaffolding section with increased load-bearing capacity is to be erected, and the method is continued with method step D) if a scaffolding section with normal or lower rigidity is to be erected. The respective other method step of the two method steps C) and D) is not carried out based on the decisions of method step B).

In a method step C), which is carried out when a scaffolding section with increased load-bearing capacity is to be created, a horizontal ledger is then positively connected to a partial connecting disk of the scaffolding standard. In this case, there is no connection of a scaffolding element to the connecting hook arranged adjacent to the partial connecting disk.

In a method step D), which is carried out when a scaffolding section with normal load-bearing capacity is to be created, a railing rod is connected to a connection hook of the scaffolding post. Accordingly, in this case there is no connection of a scaffolding element to the partial connection disk arranged adjacent to the connecting hook.

The described method according to the invention is carried out again in the described order for each scaffolding post or for each floor of the scaffolding section when erecting a larger scaffolding section, which contains several scaffolding elements. This makes it possible to use different, individually adapted scaffold sections in a simple manner Build using a single type of scaffolding standard. Since the decision is made again for each scaffolding standard as to whether an increased load-bearing capacity is required or not, scaffolding sections can also be set up, some of which have increased load-bearing capacity and some have normal load-bearing capacity. This is particularly advantageous if a scaffolding section has several floors arranged one above the other. The method according to the invention is easy to carry out, since the scaffolding post is connected to other scaffolding elements in the usual way, and the personnel working there can therefore master the use of the scaffolding post in a short time.

In one embodiment of the method, it is provided that if method step C) has been carried out, at least one additional scaffolding standard is provided and connected to the other end of the horizontal bar via one of its partial connecting disks in a form-fitting manner, and at least two additional scaffolding standards are provided, which vertically oriented can be connected by at least one further horizontal ledger to one of the scaffolding standards that are already connected, this connection being made via a respective connecting disk or a partial connecting disk on each scaffolding standard. In this embodiment, a scaffolding section is constructed with a total of four scaffolding posts arranged in one plane, with this scaffolding section having an increased load-bearing capacity. The direction of extension of each scaffolding post is oriented towards the interior of the scaffolding section.

In an alternative embodiment of the method it is provided that in the event that method step D) has been carried out, at least one further scaffolding post is provided and is positively connected to the other end of the railing rod via one of its connection hooks and at least two additional scaffolding posts are provided, which are vertically oriented connected by at least one horizontal ledger to one of the already connected scaffolding standards, this connection being made via a connecting disk on each scaffolding standard. In this embodiment of the method, a scaffolding section with a total of four scaffolding standards is erected in a plane that has a normal load-bearing capacity. The direction of extent of each scaffolding post is aligned in the interior of the scaffolding section. In a further embodiment of the method, it is provided that first a scaffolding section with increased load-bearing capacity according to the penultimate embodiment described above is erected, which forms a lower floor of the scaffolding section, and then a scaffolding section with normal load-bearing capacity according to the last embodiment described above is erected on the lower floor will, where the

Extension direction of the scaffolding posts of the upper floor is oriented in the opposite direction to the direction of extension of the scaffolding posts of the lower floor, whereby a

Scaffolding section is obtained with two floors arranged one above the other, the lower floor has a higher rigidity or load-bearing capacity than the upper floor. In this embodiment, the method results in a scaffolding section with two tiers of different bearing capacity. This embodiment of the method requires several rounds of decisions as to whether or not a connection with increased load-bearing capacity is required for a scaffolding post. However, this method is always carried out in the same way, so that the construction of such a scaffolding section with differently designed floors can be carried out very easily and quickly.

The described embodiments of a method for erecting a scaffolding section can of course be used in the reverse order of the method steps for dismantling such a scaffolding section, with no decision having to be made according to method step B) during dismantling as to whether increased load-bearing capacity is required or not.

Features, effects and advantages that are disclosed in connection with the scaffold post and the scaffold section are also deemed to be disclosed in connection with the method. The same applies in reverse, features, effects and advantages which are disclosed in connection with the method are also deemed to be disclosed in connection with the scaffold post and the scaffold section.

The same elements are provided with the same reference symbols in the figures. In general, the properties of an element that are described for one figure also apply to the other figures. Directional information such as above or below relates to the figure described and is to be transferred to other figures accordingly.

Fig. 1 shows a perspective view of a scaffolding post G according to the prior art. The well-known scaffolding post G comprises a base post 2 which is oriented vertically in the illustration. At its upper end, the base post 2 has a first interface S1, which is provided for connection to a further scaffolding post G. The first interface S1 has a smaller diameter than the remaining part of the base stalk 2 . A second interface S2, which is formed by a receptacle inside the base post 2, is arranged in the end of the base post 2 facing downwards. A number of scaffolding posts G can be connected to one another in the vertical direction by inserting the first interface S1 of one scaffolding post G into the second interface S2 of another scaffolding post G. The two interfaces S1 and S2 are designed to be complementary in shape to one another. In this way several scaffolding standards G can be arranged one above the other and connected to one another. In the vicinity of the lower end of the base post 2 there is a connecting disk 3 which is used to connect to horizontally oriented scaffolding elements such as horizontal bars 201 . When erecting a scaffolding section, several scaffolding standards G are oriented parallel to one another and connected to one another via the connecting disks 3 with horizontal rules 201. Step coverings can be placed on the horizontal ledgers 201, which serve as stepping surfaces for walking on a scaffolding floor. A further scaffolding level above it can be built up by attaching further scaffolding posts G with their second interface S2 to the interfaces S1 of the lower level. Subsequently, the connecting disks 3 of the upper floor are connected to one another with horizontal bars 201 and another tread covering is placed on the horizontal bars 201 . In this way, a scaffolding section with several floors can be constructed in a modular manner. The scaffolding post G includes two connection hooks 4 which are attached approximately in the middle and in the upper third of the base post 2 . These connection hooks 4 can be used to hang railing rods 202, which serve as fall protection for people who move on the floor coverings. The known scaffolding post G shown has a simple structure, is easy to transport and has a low weight. A disadvantage of the known scaffolding post G is that scaffolding sections which are based on this scaffolding post G can only take a limited load, which is often not sufficient to carry several scaffolding levels arranged above it.

FIG. 2 shows a perspective view of an embodiment of a scaffolding post 1 according to the invention. The scaffolding post 1 shown differs from the known scaffolding post G from FIG. 1 in a number of features. However, the scaffolding post 1 and the known scaffolding post G also have common or similar features. The scaffold post 1 also includes a base post 2 which extends along a longitudinal axis LA. In the illustrated embodiment, the base stem 2 is formed by a cylindrical tube. Like the known scaffolding post G, the scaffolding post 1 has a first interface S1 at its upper end and a second interface S2 at its lower end. These interfaces S1 and S2 are designed to be compatible with one another and can be plugged into one another. The interfaces S1 and S2 of the scaffolding post 1 are preferably identical to the interfaces S1 and S2 of the known scaffolding post G, so that the two types of scaffolding posts can be connected to one another in a compatible manner. In the lower third in the direction of the longitudinal axis LA is on an outer peripheral surface of the base stem 2 fixed a connecting disc 3, which extends perpendicular to the longitudinal axis LA. Facing upwards in the illustration, the connecting disk 3 has a planar connecting surface 31 which is oriented at right angles to the longitudinal axis LA. Starting from the connecting surface 31, a plurality of receiving openings 32 are made in the connecting disk 3, which extend in the direction of the longitudinal axis LA and penetrate the connecting disk 3 completely. Interfaces of other scaffolding elements 20, for example horizontal bars 201, can be introduced into these receiving openings 32. By introducing an interface of a scaffolding element 20 into a receiving opening 32, a positive and/or non-positive connection between the scaffolding post 1 and the scaffolding element 20 can be produced. The connecting disk 3 completely encloses the base post 2 and protrudes in the circumferential direction around the entire base post. The receiving openings 32 are arranged regularly in the circumferential direction in the connecting disk 3, ie at constant angles to one another.

The illustrated embodiment of a scaffolding post 1 comprises, similar to the known scaffolding post G, two connection hooks 4, one of which is attached to an outer surface of the base post 2 approximately in the middle of the length of the base post 2 and the other in the upper third of the base post 2. Each connection hook 4 extends in a direction of extension ER away from the base stem 2. The direction of extension ER is defined in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis LA and extends radially away from the longitudinal axis LA in the direction in which the connection hook 4 in the plane described above the outer peripheral surface of the base stem 2 protrudes. The direction of extension ER is shown in FIG. 7 in a plan view. This extension direction ER is also used below to describe and define other elements of the scaffolding post 1 .

In the illustrated embodiment, the scaffolding post 1 comprises two part-connecting discs 5 which are attached to the base post 2 and protrude therefrom. Each sub-connecting disk 5 is designed in areas identical to the connecting disk 3 shown at the very bottom. The partial connecting disk 5 has at least one planar connecting surface 51 which faces upwards in the illustration and is oriented perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis LA. Furthermore, the partial connecting disk 5 has a plurality of receiving openings 52 which, like the receiving openings 32 of the connecting disk 3, are used for connection to a scaffolding element 20 are provided. In contrast to the connecting disk 3 , the partial connecting disk 5 protrudes to different extents around the circumference of the base post 2 in the radial direction relative to the longitudinal axis LA. That is, the distance by which the sub-connecting disk 5 protrudes beyond the outer peripheral surface of the base stem 2 differs in the circumferential direction around the base stem 2 . The partial connecting disk 5 protrudes less radially beyond the base post 2 in the extension direction ER or in a direction parallel thereto than, for example, in a direction which runs opposite to the extension direction ER. The illustration clearly shows that in the direction of extension ER, in which the connection hooks 4 are also attached to the base post 2, the partial connecting disk 5 protrudes significantly less far beyond the base post 2 than in other directions radially away from the longitudinal axis LA. The partial connecting disk 5 also protrudes further beyond the base post 2 in directions perpendicular to the direction of extent ER than in the direction of the direction of extent ER. The connecting hook 4 protrudes further beyond the base post 2 in the direction of extension ER than the partial connecting disk 5. This can be seen particularly well in FIG. The provision of at least one partial connecting disk 5 has several advantages. On the one hand, the connecting hooks 4 can be used in the usual way, as in the case of the known scaffolding post G, in order to attach railing rods 202, for example. The partial connection disk 5 is designed in such a way that it does not hinder the use of the connection hook 4. For this reason, the partial connection disk 5 is set back in the extension direction ER in relation to the connection hook 4 . As a result, there is no risk of collision between a scaffold element 20, which is connected to the connection hook 4 and the

Partial connecting disk 5. The partial connecting disk 5 is designed in such a way that it enables additional scaffolding elements 20 to be connected to the scaffolding post 1. This connection additional

Scaffolding element 20 is possible in particular in directions opposite to the direction of extent ER and perpendicular to the direction of extent ER. The receiving openings 52 of

Partial connecting disc 5 allow the connection of additional scaffolding elements 20, which can be used to make a scaffolding section 100 more stable. Becomes a

Scaffolding post 1 installed, for example, in a lower or mitder floor of a scaffolding section 100, where the demands on load capacity and load capacity are greater than in the upper

Scaffolding floor, the partial connection disc 5 for attaching additional

Reinforcing elements in the scaffold section, such as horizontal ledgers 201 are used. The connection of these additional framework elements 20 or

Reinforcing elements is done in the usual way as the connection of these Scaffolding elements 20 with the known connecting disk 3. In the illustrated embodiment of a scaffolding post 1, it is possible, for example, to connect a total of three further scaffolding elements 20, for example horizontal bars 201, in a direction opposite to the direction of extension ER. Of these, two framework elements 20 are each connected to a partial connecting disk 5 and a third framework element 20 is connected to the connecting disk 3 . As a result, the load-bearing capacity and stability of a scaffold section 100 with a scaffold post 1 can be significantly improved. When using a scaffold post 1, the installation position around the longitudinal axis LA can be adjusted in such a way that either the partial connecting disk 5 or the connection hook 4 can be used to connect scaffolding elements 20. Examples of the different installation positions and of differently designed frame sections 100 can be seen in FIGS. 3 to 6 .

The scaffolding post 1 further includes a connector receptacle 6 which is attached to the outer peripheral surface of the base post 2 . The connection receptacle 6 protrudes beyond the base post 2 in a direction opposite to the direction of extension ER. The connection receptacle 6 is provided for connecting the scaffolding post 1 to other scaffolding elements 20 . For example, the connection receptacle 6 can be positively connected to a diagonal strut 203 . In the embodiment shown, the connection receptacle 6 is U-shaped and has two connection surfaces 61 which form the legs of the U. The two legs of the U are connected via a connection area which is oriented at right angles to the two connection surfaces 61 . A connection opening 62 is made in each of the two connection surfaces 61, which are each oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis LA and parallel to the direction of extent ER. The connection opening 62 penetrates a connection surface 61 in each case. To connect a framework element 20 to the connection receptacle 6, a partial area of the framework element 20 can be introduced into one or both connection openings 62 and connected to this/them in a form-fitting manner. In the embodiment shown, the connection receptacle 6 is formed by a U-shaped bent angle made of an iron-based material, which is welded to the base post 2 . However, the connection receptacle 6 can also have only one connection surface 61 with a connection opening 62 . In this case, the connection receptacle 6 can be formed, for example, by a simple plate, which extends from the base post 2 in a direction opposite to the direction of extension ER radially away from the longitudinal axis LA extends. The connection receptacle 6 is fastened to the base post 2 in the direction of the longitudinal axis LA between the connecting disk 3 and a partial connecting disk 5 . Alternatively, the connection receptacle 6 can also be attached to the base post 2 at a different position. It is also possible to arrange several connection receptacles 6 at different positions in the direction of the longitudinal axis LA.

In the embodiment shown, a connecting hook 4 is arranged at a distance from a partial connecting disk 5 in the direction of the longitudinal axis LA. This distance is between 2 cm and 30 cm here. It is also possible to attach the terminal hook 4 and the partial connecting washer 5 at the same position in the direction of the longitudinal axis LA. In the illustrated embodiment, the shape and size of a receiving opening 52 in the partial connecting disk 5 is identical to the shape and size of a receiving opening 32 in the connecting disk 3 . As a result, a scaffolding element 20 can be connected to both the partial connecting disk 5 and the connecting disk 3 in the same way. The number of receiving openings 32 in the connecting disk 3 is four here. The number of receiving openings 52 in the partial connecting disk 5 is three here. The connecting disk 3 thus offers more connection options for a scaffolding element 20 than the partial connecting disk 5. In the illustrated embodiment, a receiving opening 51 of a partial connecting disk 5 and a receiving opening 32 of the connecting disk 3 are arranged congruently or aligned with one another in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis LA. This makes it possible to attach to the connecting disk 3 and to a partial connecting disk 5 framework elements 20 which are connected circumferentially around the base stem 2 at the same position and accordingly extend in the same direction radially away from the longitudinal axis LA. In the illustrated embodiment, a receiving opening 52 of the partial connecting disk 5 arranged at the top is arranged in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis in alignment with a receiving opening 52 of the partial connecting disk 5 arranged below. In this way, framework elements 20 which are positioned identically in the circumferential direction around the longitudinal axis LA can also be fastened to both partial connecting disks 5 . This allows several scaffolding elements 20 to be connected to the scaffolding post 1, which run parallel to one another. Alternatively, further partial connecting disks 5 and/or further connecting disks 3 can be arranged on a scaffold post 1 . In addition, the ratio of length to Diameter of the base stem 2 differ from the illustrated embodiment. For example, the length of the base stem 2 in relation to its diameter can also be twice as large or half as large.

3 shows a perspective view of a first embodiment of a scaffolding section 100 according to the invention. A scaffolding section 100 is shown with two scaffolding levels arranged one above the other. The lower scaffolding level comprises a total of four scaffolding posts 1 and thus corresponds to an embodiment of a scaffolding section 100 according to the invention. The upper scaffolding floor includes four scaffolding posts G, which are already known. The upper scaffolding level thus represents a scaffolding section according to the prior art. In the lower scaffolding level, four scaffolding posts 1 are oriented vertically parallel to one another. In each case two adjacent scaffolding standards 1 are connected to one another via scaffolding elements 20 which are formed by horizontal bars 201 . The horizontal bars 201 are each positively connected at one of their ends to a connecting disk 3 of a scaffold post 1 . In this way, a horizontal ledger 201 is arranged between adjacent scaffolding standards 1 in each case. The horizontal bars 201 together span a step level, which is provided here with step coverings. Above the step level, a total of two railing rods 202 are fastened to the two scaffolding posts 1 facing to the right, which protect people who are on the lower step level from falling out or falling out of the scaffold level. In the case shown, the two railing rods 202 are hung with each of their ends on a connecting hook 4 of a scaffold post 1 and are thus fastened. In the embodiment shown, the direction of extent ER, in which the connecting hooks 4 extend away from the longitudinal axis LA of a scaffolding post 1, points in the direction of the step level. The connection hooks 4 thus point to the inside of the framework. The suspended handrails 202 are particularly safe because, in the event of a fall, a person falls against the handrails 202 from the inside and the handrails 202, in addition to being attached to the connection hooks 4, are arranged inside the scaffolding posts 1 and are therefore also positively locked are held by the base posts 2 within the scaffold floor. This ensures that even if a connection hook 4 fails, the railing rods 202 remain in position when a load is applied from within the scaffolding and that a person is secured against falling. In the illustrated embodiment of a scaffolding section 100 on the lower floor, the carrying capacity of this scaffolding section 100 is approximately comparable to the known scaffolding section on the upper floor. The four below Scaffolding posts 1 are thus used like ordinary scaffolding posts G in the illustrated embodiment. The two partial connecting discs 5 of the scaffolding posts 1 are not used in the illustrated embodiment. The upper floor of the scaffolding section 100 shown is based on four known scaffolding posts G which are connected via the interfaces S1 and S2 to the four scaffolding posts 1 located underneath by plugging them together. The upper tread level is formed by four horizontal bars 201, which are each connected at one end to a connecting disk 3 of a scaffold post G. Step coverings are also placed on the upper frame formed from four horizontal bars 201, so that a step level is provided on the second scaffolding floor. Two railing rods 202 are also attached between the two scaffolding posts G pointing to the front right, which are connected to the scaffolding posts G via connecting hooks 4 . In addition, a diagonal strut 203 runs from a connection receptacle 6 of the scaffolding post 1 on the lower floor at the front left to one of the scaffolding posts G on the upper floor at the front right. This diagonal strut 203 increases the stability of the scaffold section 100. In the illustrated embodiment of a scaffold section 100, the lower floor has approximately the same carrying capacity as the upper floor. A similar result could be achieved if the lower four scaffolding posts 1 are replaced by known scaffolding posts G. What is decisive about the scaffolding section 100 according to the embodiment shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 is that the direction of extension ER is oriented in the interior of the scaffolding section 100, in the direction of a step level, which allows for the attachment of handrails 202 inside the scaffolding section 100.

FIG. 4 shows a detailed view of the embodiment of the framework section 100 from FIG. 3. In FIG. 4, the detail from FIG. 3 marked with IV is shown enlarged. Reference is made to the description of FIG. 3 for the illustrated elements of the framework section 100 and their interaction. In the detailed view in FIG. 4 it can be seen better that the two railing rods 202 are arranged behind the base post 2 of the scaffolding post 1 in the illustration. The railing rods 202 are thus located within the scaffold section 100. Cylindrical openings are provided in the ends of the railing rods 202, which can be guided over a connection hook 4 and thus hung on it. This connection leaves some play, so that the handrails 202 can still be moved to a certain extent relative to the scaffold post 1 . However, the arrangement of the railing rods 202 within the base post 2 nevertheless provides people with reliable protection against falling from the scaffolding floor. If a person falls against one or both railing rods 202 from the inside, the railing rods 202 are held in position on the one hand by their connection to the connection hook 4 and on the other hand by their arrangement between the step level and the base post 2 . The railing rods 202 are attached to the scaffolding posts 1 in a self-helping manner, as a result of which particularly reliable fall protection is provided. The two partial connecting disks 5 do not assume any function in the scaffold section 100 shown and point in a direction opposite to the direction of extension ER, at least in certain areas.

5 shows a perspective view of a second embodiment of a scaffolding section 100 according to the invention. The scaffolding section 100 shown according to a second embodiment also comprises two scaffolding levels arranged one above the other. In contrast to the first embodiment from Figs. 3 and 4, the extension direction ER of the lower scaffolding standards 1 in the second embodiment shown in Figs. 5 and 6 points away from the lower stepping level to the outside of the scaffolding section 100. In relation to the first embodiment from Fig. 3, the lower four scaffolding standards 1 are installed in the scaffolding section 100 rotated by 180° about their longitudinal axis LA. In this way, the lower scaffolding level in the second embodiment can be reinforced by attaching additional scaffolding elements 20, here in the form of additional horizontal rules 201, so that the lower scaffolding level has a higher load-bearing capacity. It is particularly advantageous here that one and the same scaffold post 1 can be used both in the first embodiment shown in FIG. 1 for constructing a floor with normal load-bearing capacity and in the second embodiment shown in FIG. 5 for constructing a floor with increased load-bearing capacity . Before erecting a scaffolding section 100 or a floor of such a scaffolding section 100, a decision must only be made as to whether increased load-bearing capacity is required or not. If an increased load-bearing capacity is required, the lower scaffolding standards 1 are arranged in such a way that their direction of extension points outwards from the scaffolding section 100 . If a simply constructed scaffolding section with normal load-bearing capacity is required, the lower scaffolding standards 1 are oriented in such a way that their direction of extension points inwards of the scaffolding section 100 . In the embodiment shown in FIG. 5, the direction of extension ER in the lower scaffolding level is oriented in the direction of the step level into the interior of the scaffolding section 100, as a result of which the lower scaffolding level has an increased load-bearing capacity. The upper scaffolding level is based on known scaffolding standards G, which can be used to set up an upper scaffolding level with normal load-bearing capacity. However, it would also be possible to use scaffolding posts 1 for the upper floor, the direction of extension ER of which points toward the upper step level inside the scaffolding. The upper scaffolding level would thus look like the lower scaffolding level in the embodiment in FIG. Thus, it is not necessary to have known scaffolding posts G ready for erecting a scaffolding section according to the embodiment in FIG. 5 . The types of scaffolding posts available on the construction site can thus be reduced by using the scaffolding post 1 . Due to the fact that the extension direction ER of the scaffolding posts 1 points away from the inside of the scaffolding section 100, the connection hooks 4 are arranged on the opposite side of the step level, pointing outwards. In this way, the connection hooks 4 do not impede work on the step level. In the embodiment shown, people who are on the lower step level are protected against falling from falling by installing two horizontal bars 201 oriented parallel to one another. These horizontal beams 201 are positively connected with one of their ducks to a partial connecting disk 5 of one of the lower scaffolding posts 1. On the longer side of the scaffolding section 100 pointing to the front right, two horizontal bars 201 are arranged in relation to one another. On the narrow sides of the lower scaffolding level of the scaffolding section 100 pointing forward to the left and rear to the right, only one horizontal ledger 201 is connected to the upper partial connecting disks 5 of adjacent vertical standards 1. In order to further increase the stability and load-bearing capacity of the lower scaffolding level, additional horizontal ledgers 201 could also be arranged between the two lower partial connecting disks 5 on the narrow sides of the scaffolding section 100 . On the lower scaffolding level, the horizontal ledgers 201 installed serve on the one hand as railings and fall protection and on the other hand as bracing or reinforcement to increase the load-bearing capacity of the lower scaffolding level. It is advantageous that no additional railing rods 202 are required as fall protection for the illustrated lower scaffolding level with increased load-bearing capacity. If there are normal load-bearing requirements for a scaffolding level, it is advisable to erect this level like the lower scaffolding level in Fig. 3. The railing rods 202 are lighter in weight and cheaper to purchase than horizontal bars 201. By using a scaffolding post 1 according to the invention, a scaffolding floor with increased load-bearing capacity can be constructed using additional horizontal bars 201 if required. Simultaneously However, it is also possible to use the existing, lighter and more cost-effective handrails 202 as fall protection with normal load-bearing requirements, thereby reducing the effort and weight of a scaffolding floor. When using a scaffolding post 1 according to the invention for constructing a scaffolding section 100, it is only necessary to decide before erecting each floor or scaffolding floor whether there are normal or increased demands on the load-bearing capacity of this scaffolding floor. Based on this decision, the orientation of the scaffolding posts 1 about their longitudinal axis LA is then set on the corresponding floor. Then, according to the orientation of the scaffolding standards 1 or the direction of extension ER, the scaffolding standards 1 are either connected to one another by railing rods 202, which are hung over the connection hooks 4, or the scaffolding standards 1 are connected to horizontal ledgers 201 by form-fitting connections of their partial connecting disks 5. This simple method of assembly is repeated for each truss level of truss section 100 to be assembled. Of course, when erecting each scaffolding level, horizontal ledgers 201 are also connected between adjacent scaffolding standards via their connecting disks 3 in order to create the corresponding step levels.

FIG. 6 shows a detailed view of the embodiment of the framework section 100 from FIG. 5. In FIG. 6, the detail from FIG. 5 marked VI is shown enlarged. Reference is made to the description of FIG. 5 for the illustrated elements of the framework section 100 and their interaction. It is easy to see in FIG. 6 that the two connection hooks 4 point to the front right and thus the extension in the direction ER points away from the step level and the interior of the frame section 100 . The upper of the two partial connecting disks 5 is positively connected to a horizontal bar 201 via a respective receiving opening 52 . One of the connection openings 52 is oriented opposite to the extension direction ER in the direction of the step level and is connected to a horizontal bar 201 on the narrow side of the scaffolding section 100 . Furthermore, a receiving opening 52, which is arranged in a position perpendicular to the direction of extension ER in relation to the longitudinal axis LA, is connected to a horizontal bar 201, which extends in the longitudinal direction of the scaffold section 100. The third receiving opening 52 pointing to the front left is not connected to any framework element 20 in the illustrated embodiment. However, it would be possible to lengthen the frame section 100 or the floor of the frame section 100 to the front left, that also at the third, still free receiving opening 52 another Horizontal bar 201 is attached, which connects another scaffold post 1 with the scaffold section 100. In addition, of course, the receiving openings 52 can also be connected to other types of framework elements 20 . A diagonal strut 203 can also be seen in each of FIGS. 5 and 6, which connects the lower scaffolding level to the upper scaffolding level. As in the first embodiment in FIGS. 3 and 4, the diagonal strut 203 is connected to a connection receptacle 6 of a scaffold post 1 on the lower floor. In contrast to the first embodiment, the diagonal strut 203 is arranged inside the frame section 100 in the second embodiment. The diagonal strut 203 unfolds its reinforcing effect for the entire scaffold section 100 equally inside or outside the scaffold section. An arrangement of one or more diagonal struts 203 is thus possible in both installation orientations, in both orientations of the direction of extension ER, of a scaffolding standard 1 .

FIG. 7 shows a plan view of the embodiment of a scaffolding post 1 from FIG. 2. In FIG. 7, the scaffolding post 1 can be seen from above in the direction of the longitudinal axis LA. The longitudinal axis LA is symbolized as a point in this illustration and runs into the plane of the drawing. The longitudinal axis LA forms the central axis of the base stem 2, which is thereby formed into a cylindrical tube. The first interface S1 is arranged concentrically within the base post 2 . In the embodiment shown, the first interface S1 is also formed by a tube section which has a smaller diameter than the base post 2 and is fastened in the base post 2 . As can be seen in FIG. 2, the first interface S1 projects beyond the upper front end of the base post 2. FIG. In the illustration in FIG. 7 , pointing to the right, a connecting hook 4 can be seen in the direction of extent ER. A side view of this connection hook 4 is shown in FIG. A partial connecting disc 5 can be seen in a plan view of the connecting surface 51 . The sub-connecting disc 5 is fixed at a plurality of portions to an outer peripheral surface of the base stem 5, for example, by welding. In the illustrated embodiment, three receiving openings 52 are made in the partial connecting disk 5 , which penetrate the partial connecting disk 5 starting from the connecting surface 51 . One of these receiving openings 52 is located, starting from the longitudinal axis LA, in a direction opposite to the direction of extension ER. Starting from the longitudinal axis LA, the other two receiving openings 52 are each located in a direction perpendicular to the direction of extent ER. Thus, neighboring Receiving openings 52 relative to the longitudinal axis LA are each arranged at a 90° angle to one another. In the direction of extension, on the side on which the connecting hook 4 is arranged, there is no receiving opening 52. The size and shape of the receiving openings 52 preferably correspond to the size and shape of the receiving openings 32 in the connecting disk 3 underneath. Preferably, the receiving openings 52 of the Sub-connecting disc 5 to receiving openings 32 of the connecting disc 3 arranged underneath. In the direction of extent ER, the partial connecting disk 5 protrudes less far beyond the base post 2 than in other radial directions relative to the longitudinal axis LA. In particular, the partial connecting disk 5 protrudes less far beyond the base post 2 in the direction of extent ER than in a direction opposite to the direction of extent ER and in directions perpendicular to the direction of extent ER. The partial connecting disc 5 is delimited by a straight edge K on the right-hand side in the illustration. This straight edge K runs perpendicular to the direction of extent ER. In the embodiment shown, there is a distance in the extension direction ER between the edge K and the outer peripheral surface of the base post 2 . This means that the edge K projects beyond the base post 2 . Alternatively, it is also possible for the edge K to end flush with the outer peripheral surface of the base post 2 in the direction of extension ER and thus not protrude beyond it. Finally, it is also possible for the edge K to be set back in the extension direction relative to the outer peripheral surface of the base post 2 . The edge K is preferably arranged at a distance from the longitudinal axis LA which corresponds to +/-20% of the distance from the longitudinal axis LA to the outer peripheral surface of the base post 2 in the direction of extent ER. The delimitation of the partial connecting disk 5 by the edge K serves to avoid collisions with scaffolding elements 20 which are fastened to the connection hook 4 and, starting from this, extend downwards parallel to the base post 2 . For example, such a scaffolding element 20 can be formed by a front railing, which is hooked onto the connection hook 4 and extends from there parallel to the base post 2 at a small distance. If the partial connecting disk 5 protruded further in the direction of extension ER, for example in the opposite direction to the direction of extension ER, it would not be possible to connect such a front side railing to the connection hook 4, since the front side railing would collide with the protruding area. By providing the edge K as a limitation, it is thus possible to use existing front side railings, which were originally intended for hanging on a known scaffolding post G were intended to be combined with the scaffolding post 1 according to the invention. This further increases the flexibility and usability of the scaffolding post 1 . As an alternative to the embodiment shown as a straight line, the edge K can also be curved, for example concavely or convexly curved or irregularly shaped, as long as a partial connecting disk 5 delimited by the edge K does not cause collisions with other scaffolding elements 20 . The partial connecting disk 5 is preferably identical to a portion of the connecting disk 3 arranged underneath it on the base stem 2. However, the partial connecting disk 5 lacks a partial region which is provided in the connecting disk 3 beyond the edge K of the partial connecting disk 5 in the direction of extension ER. During production, the partial connecting disk 5 can thus be produced, for example, from an existing connecting disk 3 by cutting off a partial area of the connecting disk 3 along the edge K. The partial area of the connecting disk 3, which is identical to the partial connecting disk 5, can also be defined using a circumferential angle UW around the longitudinal axis LA. The partial connecting disk 5 and the connecting disk 3 are identical within this circumferential angle UW. This circumferential angle UW is made up of two half circumferential angles UW/2. Such a half circumferential angle UW/2 is defined from a direction opposite to the extension direction ER to an imaginary straight line which extends radially away from the longitudinal axis LA. In the illustrated embodiment, such a half circumferential angle UW/2 is approximately 120°. The entire circumferential angle UW is therefore approximately 240° and is therefore greater than 220°. The imaginary straight line that forms the boundary of half a circumferential angle UW/2 on the right in the illustration intersects the end of the straight edge K. In FIG.

FIG. 8 shows a side view of part of the scaffolding post 1 from FIG. The base post 2 extends along its longitudinal axis LA from top to bottom in the illustration. The direction of extension ER is arranged at right angles to the longitudinal axis LA. The connection hook 4 includes a holding area 41 which extends in the direction of extent ER. Furthermore, the connecting hook 4 has a securing area 42 which extends at right angles to the direction of extension ER. In this case, the securing area 42 points away from the partial connecting disk 5 arranged below the connecting hook 4 . In the illustrated In the embodiment, the holding area 41 is connected to the securing area 42 by a curved area. When a railing rod 202 is hung in, an opening in one end of the railing rod 202 is first guided over the securing area 42 and then pushed over the holding area 41 . In this mounted position, the safety area 42 then prevents the handrail 202 from slipping off the holding area 41 .

In the side view in Fig. 8 it can be clearly seen that the connecting hook 4 in the direction of extension ER projects further beyond the base post 2 than the edge K of the partial connecting disk 5. This prevents scaffolding elements 20, which are hung on the connecting hook 4 and extend downwards parallel to the base stem 2, collide with the connecting disc 5.
