Definitions

• the invention relates to a frame adapter for the angular, in particular right-angled connection of framework groups I, II which are constructed with frame elements which consist of two stands which are connected to one another in the region of their ends by at least one upper and lower transverse traverse, with adjacent ones Frame elements of each scaffold group are connected to each other at least via covering bays.
• the object of the invention is to substantially reduce this workload for the connection of two scaffold groups to be connected at an angle to one another.
• a frame adapter of the type mentioned which consists of a stand and at least one lower and one upper cross member of a frame element, that the cross members are connected to one another via a spar that runs essentially parallel to the stand
• At least one fastening means is attached to the side of the bar facing away from the stand, which can be fastened to a stand of the frame element of the adjacent scaffolding group and that the distance between the stand and the fastening means of the frame adapter equals the distance between the stands of the frame elements the scaffolding group to be connected.
• the frame adapter according to the invention is provided with a stand which is constructed in the same way as the stand, as they also have the other frame elements. Furthermore, the stand is equally provided with an upper and lower crossbar, but these crossbars are not connected at their opposite ends to a second stand, but to a spar, which, moreover, is still less distant from the stand , as the stands of the usual frame elements with each other.
• fastening means are attached, which are advantageously designed in the form of bowl-shaped holders, the fastening dimension for these holders corresponding exactly to the distance that the stand of the frame elements to be fastened exhibit.
• This measure makes it possible to fasten the frame adapter directly to the end stand of the framework group to be attached, this frame adapter then fully functioning as a frame element. Since the frame adapter is connected to the stand of the framework group that has already been set up, a special alignment, support, anchoring etc. is not necessary, but it can be immediately expanded with the second framework group arranged at an angle.
• the frame adapter is advantageously provided with a diagonal traverse which closes the passage at the end diagonally. Furthermore, cross beams can advantageously be drawn in between the stand and the spar of the edge adapter, which ensure the required passage security.
• the lower cross member is designed in such a way that it can accommodate a toe board, it being equally advantageous to connect this toe board to the lower cross member in the same manner.
• the minimum distance between the covering platforms is achieved, as is also obtained between the frame elements of a scaffolding group.
• FIG. 2 shows a frame adapter according to the invention in a perspective view
• FIG. 4 is a top view of FIG. 3.
• the scaffolding group I is made up of four frame elements 2, which are inserted into one another in a known manner and are connected to one another by means of covering platforms 5. These covering platforms are suspended in the upper cross members 4.
• a scaffold group II is connected to the scaffold group I, which in the exemplary embodiment has frame elements of the same width, ie has the same width. However, it is also conceivable without further to add a scaffolding group II with a larger or smaller width.
• This scaffolding group II consists of two frame elements 2, which are constructed corresponding to the right frame elements of the scaffolding group i and in whose upper cross members 4 the covering platforms 6 are suspended.
• the frame elements 2 are replaced by the frame adapter 1 according to the invention. 2 to 4, these frame adapters consist of a stand 5 which is constructed identically to the stand 5 of the frame elements 2.
• connection means 9, 10 in a known manner, which are used to connect another frame adapter, the connection means 10 in a recess of the connecting means 9 is inserted in a known manner.
• connection means 10 in a recess of the connecting means 9 is inserted in a known manner.
• transverse traverses 3 and 4 which are also designed like the transverse traverses of the frame elements 2.
• the upper crossmember 4 is reinforced by an angled web 11, while the lower crossmember 3 has an offset 12 which enables the covering platforms to be inserted and removed even when the upper frame is attached.
• these cross members could also be designed in a conventional manner, ie as a straight bar.
• the crossbeams 3, 4 are connected to one another via a spar 7 which runs parallel to the stand 5 and which, on its side facing away from the stand 5, has fastening means 8 which are designed such that they can include the stand 5 of a frame element 2 and can be fixed to it by a screw connection.
• 4 shows a plan view of these fastening means 8, which consists of two half-shells which can be connected to one another, for example, by means of screws.
• a diagonal strut 13 is drawn in, on the one hand, forms an end closure of the frame adapter and, on the other hand, contributes to increasing the rigidity thereof. Furthermore, the stand 5 and the spar 7 are connected to one another via two struts 14, which are arranged in the lower third and approximately in half and thus form the prescribed end for the frame element.
• the lower crossmember 3 is provided with receptacles 15, 16 into which a toe board 17 is inserted. In front This toe board 17 is permanently permanently connected to the lower crossmember and / or the spar or the stand.
• the attachment of a second scaffold group, which runs at an angle to the first scaffold group is very simple, since only the lowest adapter element has to be aligned vertically, and this is usually done in such a way that the lower one Adapter element, namely a spindle is arranged on the stand, which allows the exact height positioning. Alignment in the vertical direction is ensured by the first scaffolding group I. It should also be noted that it is not necessary to first create the framework group I and then the framework group II. The construction can also be carried out in the reverse manner.
