Abstract: A coupling member includes a hook-shaped coupling part arranged to be hooked into a gripping part of an upright and a locking arrangement switchable between a locking position and a release position. Further, the locking arrangement includes a pivotally attached first clamping part and a wedge-shaped locking part, which is slidable between a locking position and a release position. The wedge-shaped locking part is arranged to push the first clamping part towards the upright and the gripping part by means of wedge action. Moreover, the first clamping part comprises two transversally spaced apart side parts which jointly define a cavity there between. The first clamping part is arranged externally on the hook-shaped coupling part, and is arranged partly within the cavity. Further, each of the side parts includes fastening means for pivotal attachment of the first clamping part to the hook-shaped coupling part.

Abstract: A mechanical coupling arrangement for a scaffold includes a pole and a mounting collar having an attachment surface to which elongated support members can be attached. A level of radial play between the pole and the mounting collar in a first relative angular position is larger than the level of radial play between the pole and the mounting collar in a second relative angular position. The second relative angular position corresponds to a fastening position of the mounting collar, and the first relative angular position corresponds to an axial sliding position of the mounting collar.

The second tightening part is also moveable about the pivot axis. The first tightening part and the second tightening part are translatable between a release position and a lock position, such that after said first tightening part is moveable about the pivot axis and into the locked position, the second tightening part is moveable about the pivot axis into said lock position.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for personal safety on such scaffolds as consist of scaffold uprights (5, 6) and lying scaffold elements (64-73) coupled between the uprights. The safety device consists of two safety uprights (18, 19) and a guard rail (24) extending between the safety uprights. The safety uprights have coupling devices (20-23) for releasable coupling-together with the scaffold. The coupling devices interact with an upwardly facing portion of the scaffold. By means of the device, the safety uprights and the accompanying guard rail can be moved successively between different vertical positions according to safety requirements.

The hook-shaped member (7) exhibits two side cheeks (13, 14) arranged in spaced (16) relationship with each other and fixedly attached to the scaffolding element (4).

Abstract: The invention relates to scaffolding, especially facade scaffolding, comprising vertical poles (11) located one behind the other, preferably in pairs, and interconnected at given vertical intervals by means of cross struts (12). Said vertical poles (11) consist preferably of individual elements (11′) and form support frames (43) with said cross struts (12). Base plates (13) are also positioned between the cross struts (12) of neighbouring support frames (43). Diagonal poles (27) are arranged between at least some of the neighbouring vertical poles (11). According to the invention, scaffolding of this type is configured in such a way that at least one end of the diagonal poles (27) engages in an aperture (16) provided in the designated vertical pole (11) by means of a hook (15, 15′). Said opening lies at least essentially in the plane defined by the axes (17) of the neighbouring vertical poles (11).
