  • Publication number: 20230114919
    Abstract: Preceding guardrail for a scaffolding system for buildup of a scaffold bay. The guardrail assembly comprises a guardrail, a base part, a mounting system for mounting of the base part to a part of the scaffold bay, at least a first post and a second post, and a lifting arm. The guardrail extends along a longitudinal axis. The base part extends substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the guardrail. The first and second post are each pivotably connected to the guardrail by a first pivoting point and pivotably connected to the base part by a second pivoting point, whereby the guardrail, the base part, the first, and the second post together form a parallelogram link system. The lifting arm is fixedly connected with the first post and extends in line with the first post from the second pivoting point away from the first pivoting point.

  • Publication number: 20230115809
    Abstract: Preceding guardrail holder for a scaffolding system, configured for cooperation with guardrails provided with a fastening hook at a longitudinal end. The preceding guardrail holder includes a first and a second cross connection element extending perpendicular to a mounting plate and a retaining plate, which cross connection elements are mutually spaced apart and together bound a fastening hook receiving space for receiving in the fastening hook receiving space the fastening hook of a first guardrail. The distance between the first and the second cross connection element is such that, if the fastening hook is received in the fastening hook receiving space and the first guardrail is not supported otherwise, a recess on a radial inner side of the fastening hook rests on the first cross connection element, and a radial outer side of the fastening hook abuts against the second cross connection element, the first guardrail thereby being wholly supported by the single preceding guardrail holder.

  • Patent number: 10119279
    Abstract: A scaffolding coupler intended for fixed attachment to the ends of a ledger of a scaffolding system. The scaffolding coupler comprises a foot and a hook which is integrally connected with the foot. The hook has a radial inside contour which is substantially circular segmental. The scaffolding coupler has at least one supporting surface which is formed by the foot and the hook and which, with the scaffolding coupler connected to a standard, rests on a supporting projection of the respective standard. The scaffolding coupler further comprises a pin which is slideably connected to the hook. The pin is configured as a bent pin, having a substantially circular segmental inside contour, which, in use, abuts directly against a pipe wall of a standard to be coupled to the first ledger or a ledger. The bent pin has a substantially circular segmental outside contour which abuts against the substantially circular segmental inside contour of the hook.

  • Patent number: 9683380
    Abstract: A standard (10) of a scaffolding system (1), comprising an elongate tubular wall (12), having a central longitudinal axis (Ls), and at least one supporting projection (14) that protrudes radially outwardly from said tubular wall (12). When the standard (10) is in a vertical orientation, the supporting projection (14), seen in a tangential direction (Ts) relative to the longitudinal axis (Ls), forms an annular supporting surface (16) that encircles the tubular wall (12) and that defines alternating elevations (18) and depressions (20). Also disclosed is a ledger (30) with ledger couplings (40) configured for cooperation with said standard (10).

  • Patent number: 8979413
    Abstract: In a method for manufacturing an element (8) of a modular scaffolding system, an at least partly galvanized pipe part (10) having a first end (12) and a second end is provided, together with an at least partly galvanized first connection head (40) which is designed to be connected to the first end (12) of the pipe part (10). A weld (24), which connects the first end (12) of the pipe part (10) to the first connection head (40), has an internal weld surface (24b) and an external weld surface (24a). The internal weld surface is proximal to the pipe part (10) and/or the connection head (40), and the external weld surface is proximal to an outside environment (60) of the pipe part (10) and the connecting head (40). A protective layer covers the external weld surface, such that it is screened off from the outside environment (60).
