  • Patent number: 12037803
    Abstract: A coupling pin clip for a coupling piece for the connection of two components that are inserted between them. To affix the insertable coupling at the ends of the coupling piece, a pin is insertable both through a hole of the component and through a hole of the coupling piece. The coupling pin clip is U-shaped, the legs of which have a distance from each other that corresponds to the distance of the two holes in the coupling piece. Furthermore, the coupling pin clip comprises a tipping finger articulated at one end of the coupling pin clip.

  • Publication number: 20220003007
    Abstract: The invention relates to a scaffolding system with at least one scaffold decking (30). The scaffold deckings (30) preferably have identical fittings (10) which are connected to decking profiles (32) of different heights, in particular in an identical manner. Particularly preferably, the scaffolding system has at least two scaffolding deckings (30), each having identical fittings (10) but decking profiles (32) with different maximum heights (H32), wherein further preferably the length (L32) of the decking profile (32) with lower maximum height (H32) is shorter than for the decking profile with higher maximum height (H32). In a further preferred embodiment of the invention, the scaffolding system comprises at least three scaffold decks (30), each having identical fittings (10) but decking profiles (32) with different maximum heights (H32), wherein further preferably the decking profiles (32) are of different lengths and have greater maximum heights (H32) with increasing length (L32).
