  • Publication number: 20240052649
    Abstract: A connector for a modular scaffold, having a connector tube having a tube section with enlarged outer and/or inner diameter at least at one end, preferably at both ends, for connection to at least one vertical post, as well as a connector element which has at least one receiving recess for connection to at least one horizontal beam and/or a diagonal brace, wherein the connector element is fastened to the connector tube either indirectly via an extension arm or directly on the outer circumference. A modular scaffold, a method of manufacturing a modular scaffold and a use of a connector within a modular scaffold.

  • Publication number: 20230003037
    Abstract: A guardrail for a scaffold, which has at least at one end a coupling section for coupling with a coupling element of a vertical post or vertical frame of the scaffold, wherein the coupling section is flat and is penetrated by an elongate opening which extends parallel to a longitudinal axis of the railing member and which has a constant width as far as an extension at the end. A scaffold comprising a guardrail, a method for erecting a scaffold and a use of a guardrail.

  • Publication number: 20200291666
    Abstract: The invention relates to a frame element (10) comprising a frame pipe (12) into which a threaded spindle (16) is partly introduced at one end. The threaded spindle (16) is guided in the frame pipe (12) by at least one spindle positioning groove (24, 26, 28), in particular multiple spindle positioning grooves (24, 26, 28). The frame pipe (12) is mechanically reinforced by the spindle positioning groove(s) (24, 26, 28) in the region of the threaded spindle (16) received in the frame pipe (12). At the same time, the maximum inclination of the threaded spindle (16) in the frame pipe (12) is reduced by the spindle positioning grooves (24, 26, 28). Overall, a force can thus be substantially more strongly applied to the frame element (10) in the direction of the longitudinal axis (23b) of the frame pipe (12). At the other end, the frame pipe (12) has at least one pin positioning groove (40, 42), in particular multiple pin positioning grooves (40, 42).

  • Patent number: 10077567
    Abstract: A method and a device for producing an outer pipe of a telescope-like support, for reasons of weight and stability, is produced from a standardized zinc-coated steel pipe having a large outer diameter and a small wall thickness. Also included is the telescope-like support and the outer pipe which is contained therein. A pipe portion of the outer pipe is expanded in the method with a punch and subsequently tapered to the original outer diameter again with a ring. A reinforcement of the pipe portion and a calibration of the outer diameter of the pipe portion are thereby achieved. An outer thread can be rolled on the pipe portion.

  • Patent number: 9926711
    Abstract: A G-hook for the mutual releasable connection of two prop portions of a telescopic construction prop has a pin and a hoop. The pin and the hoop are different, separate parts which are rotationally rigidly connected to one another, meaning the pin cannot rotate relative to the hoop because they are rigidly fixed to one another. The pin has a force introduction portion with a surface which is curved regionally and a force removal portion which is diametrically opposite the force introduction portion and whose surface is formed substantially planar.

  • Patent number: 9920541
    Abstract: A scaffolding pipe of a structural scaffolding system extends from a first axial pipe end to an opposing second axial pipe end. A receiving portion is provided on the first axial pipe end and an insertion portion is provided on the second axial pipe end. The insertion portion has a reduced cross-section compared with the receiving portion and terminates with a radial shoulder which forms a support face. The receiving portion inner diameter is greater than the insertion portion outer diameter. The receiving portion at the first axial pipe end has one positioning groove which is interrupted or continuous in a peripheral direction which reduces the inner diameter of the receiving portion and which defines the minimum inner diameter of the receiving portion. A pipe wall of the scaffolding pipe has at the first axial pipe end a maximum wall thickness greater than the otherwise smaller wall thickness.
