  • Publication number: 20020030293
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for successive concreting of high vertical wall by using a climbing shuttering system having a supporting structure on which various concrete shuttering elements are loaded hanging downwards. Said structure is connected at least to a first top supporting carrier that underprops it. The top supporting carrier has the means to support it laterally to a completed wall section. The climbing shuttering system also has at least one lower supporting carrier that can be supported on a completed wall section. There is at least one lifting device that brings about a relative movement between both supporting carriers. According to the invention, the top supporting carrier is designed to be supported on a substantially even surface.

  • Patent number: 5522579
    Abstract: Apparatus for supporting a form member extending perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of a form carrier, in particular for supporting the side face of a truss form for concrete. The apparatus has a support frame and a clamping device connected to the support frame. A tightening device and a holding member are arranged in such a manner in a knuckle joint arrangement that, upon tightening, a prestressing path for the apparatus along the form carrier, and, thus a prestressing force perpendicular to the plane of the side face, ensues so that the gap between the side face and the base plate remains sealed in a reliable manner despite the concrete pressure, which arises. In a preferred embodiment, the truss holder is provided with an adjustable carrier adjustable in height, and which can be adapted to the required truss height.

  • Patent number: 5285869
    Abstract: A scaffolding frame to which a story can be added, comprising vertical stands which are formed as hollow sections, horizontal struts which are secured to the vertical stands, and at least one joining sleeve which is inserted into a vertical stand and can be set at a specific height by means of a safety bolt which is inserted through an opening provided in the side wall of the joining sleeve and an opening in the vertical stand which is in alignment with the opening in the joining sleeve, the scaffolding frame being characterized in that the joining sleeve has radially extending peripheral expansions on its side wall, that the vertical stand is provided at each of its ends with a section end serving as a stop for such peripheral expansions, each section end covering the cross sectional opening of the section of the vertical stand in a circular ring-shaped form and the inner circular diameter of the section end corresponding to the outer diameter of the joining sleeve without peripheral expansions, and that the
