DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Figure 1 shows an antislip ladder rung 1 for a ladder. The ladder rung 1 is made of sheet metal, such as sheet steel. The rung 1 has a tubular form with a cir- cular cross-section. The rung 1 comprises an antislip roughening 2. For the user, the antislip roughening 2 provides a good grip for hands and feet while climbing the ladder. One embodiment of the ladder is shown in Figure 2. Such a ladder can be used as a wall ladder or as a roof ladder, or part thereof, to provide safe access to roofs, the ridge of roofs, chimneys, roof hatches and other targets that require maintenance. The antislip roughening 2 comprises a plurality of outwardly protruding, from the inside of the rung out- wardly pressed, deformations. They are protrusions, such as bulges 6! (see Figure 7) or 62 edges of punc- tures (see Figures 1 and 3) which are deformed from the material of the wall of the rung 1 without adding any material. In the embodiment shown in Figure 3, the wall thick- N ness s of the tubular rung 1 is preferably 1,25 mm and N diameter d is 25 mm. The protrusions 6? have a height 3 30 e of 2 mm. Figure 3 also shows inlet openings 5 in the 2 wall of the rung. These inlet openings 5 are at the Ek opposite second side of the rung relative to the first > side of the protrusions 62, and are formed by the > puncturing rods 4 when puncturing through the rung 1 o 35 in manufacturing (see Figures 4 -— 7). o
Figure 3 shows that protrusions 6? may be distributed on the circumference of the rung 1 as circumferential groups of three protrusions in each group wherein the protrusions are arranged at intervals of 120° around the periphery of the rung.
A plurality of such groups are arranged along the length of the rung 1. Figure 1 shows an embodiment of the rung 1 wherein twelve suc- cessive circumferential groups of protrusions are ar- ranged so that an area free of protrusions is arranged in the middle area of the rung 1. The circumferential groups of protrusions are equally spaced by a distance
1 being 25 mm.
Figures 4 —- 7 schematically show the principle of the method for manufacturing the antislip ladder rung 1 of Figure 1. In the manufacturing method a tubular rung 1 made of sheet metal is arranged.
The step of arrang- ing a tubular rung 1 made of sheet metal may comprise folding a planar piece of sheet metal to tubular form m(not shown in Figures), so that opposite edges of sheet metal abut each other.
The abutting longitudinal edges are welded together to form a tubular rung hav- ing a tubular cross-section.
Figures 4 and 5 show ar- ranging the antislip roughening 2 to the rung 1. The method step of arranging the antislip roughening 2 comprises a step of punching the tubular rung 1 in the diametral plane of the rung 1 with a pressing punch N 31, 32, The pressing punch 3!, 3? comprises a plurality N of spaced puncturing rods 4 with pointed tips.
The 3 30 puncturing rods 4 are arranged in a row.
During the 2 punching stroke, at a first side of the rung the Ek pointed tips puncture through the wall of the rung * forming inlet openings 5 and at the opposite second > side of the rung the pointed tips create protrusions o 35 6! and/or 6? that form the antislip roughening 2. The S punching stroke may be adjusted so that, at the oppo- site second side of the rung 1, the pointed tips press permanent deformations as outwardly protruding bulges 6! to the wall of the rung without tearing the wall as is illustrated in Figure 7. The punching stroke may also be adjusted so that, at the opposite second side of the rung 1, the pointed tips of the puncturing rod 4 puncture through the wall of the rung 1 to form outwardly protruding punctured openings having torn edges 62 forming the antislip roughening, as shown in Figure 6.
Figures 4 and 5 show punching the tubular rung 1 in the diametral plane of the rung 1 simultaneously with two pressing punches 31, 3? having punching strokes di- rected to mutually in opposite directions whereby the antislip roughening is created simultaneously to oppo- site sides of the rung 1. A first punching stroke the rung 1 may be rotated about its longitudinal axis to a different position and a second punching stroke is performed. For manufacturing the protrusions as il- lustrated in Figure 3, after a first punching stroke the rung 1 is rotated about its longitudinal axis an angle of 120° in one direction and a second punching stroke is performed. After the second punching stroke, the rung is rotated again about its longitudinal axis an angle of 120° in the same direction as previously, and a third punching stroke is performed. N Referring to Figure 6, in one embodiment of the method N punching is performed with puncturing rods 4 which 3 30 have a diameter D of 4 mm. The tip end of the pointed 2 tip of the puncturing rod 4 has a diameter @ of 0,4 mm =E and the pointed tip has a cone angle « of 48,5*%. a > While the present inventions have been described in o 35 connection with a number of exemplary embodiments, and S implementations, the present inventions are not so limited, but rather cover various modifications, and equivalent arrangements, which fall within the purview of prospective claims.
