Description

Support device for railings and elements of protection.

Object of the invention

The present invention relates, as expresses the statement of the present specification, to a railing support device and protection elements that brings to the function to which a series of benefits are intended advantageous and improved and / or alternative features, with respect to  what is already known, which will be described in detail later.

More specifically, the invention is especially for the support of bars or boards horizontal rails that are used as fall protection elements for people or as a skirting board the eventual fall of objects or tools under vacuum during the realization of the slabs in the construction works.

Background of the invention

Current legislation requires for reasons of security to protect the side or perimeter openings existing in construction sites located at a certain height.

Currently, in reference to the state of the technique, it should be mentioned that to protect said openings or gaps, various systems are used, which consist of their mostly in vertical bars, which are inserted in holes previously established in the slabs, or which are held by clamps or by means of interlocking as screws or directly nailed to the floor, incorporating, for the placement of the bars or boards that act as railing, L-plates that are usually welded or fixedly fixed in said amounts.

These systems involve, on the one hand, complexity in assembly and disassembly, assuming an increase in the elements to be transported, handled and stored, and on the other they have Totally limited placement capacity of the elements of support both in number and height and distance between they.

It should be noted that the petitioner is unaware of the existence of a support device for railings and elements of protection that has technical characteristics, structural and constitutive similar to those advocated by the present invention, which is intended to solve the inconveniences noted above.

Explanation of the invention.

With the present invention it has therefore been devised a railing support device and protection elements whose main novelty lies in the fact that it is applied and subject directly on conventional struts that are used to hold the slabs, so do not add or nail no additional bar on the floor to place the guardrails, being able to use these struts Conventional works with a double function, support of the slabs and to support the railings of protection.

Another advantage presented by the invention that you propose, is the possibility of being able to place on the same prop as many support elements as desired, and also vary the height and distance between them according to agree in each case.

The new railing support device and protection elements therefore represents a structure Innovative structural and constitutive features unknown so far for that purpose, reasons that together with its practical utility, provide it with sufficient foundation to obtain the privilege of exclusivity that is requested.

Description of the drawings

To complement the description that is being performing and in order to help a better understanding of the characteristics of the invention, is attached herein descriptive, as an integral part of it, of a game of planes, in which with an illustrative and non-limiting nature, represented the following:

Figures number 1 and 2.- They show paths perspective views, anterior and posterior respectively, of the railing support device and protection elements, according to an example of the invention, in which they are appreciated clearly the different elements that compose it as well as its configuration and layout.

Figure number 3.- Shows a plan view of the device of the invention, according to the example represented in Figures 1 and 2, once placed in the uprights and subject to East.

Preferred Embodiment of the Invention

In view of the commented figures and of according to the numbering adopted, it can be observed in them a preferred embodiment of the support device of railings and protective elements comprising the parts that They are indicated and described in detail below.

In this way, as seen in the figure 1 and 2, the device is configured from a plate or part main (1) U-shaped, of suitable dimensions for fit the tube diameter of conventional uprights, and from which emerges outwardly and in solidarity with another deck or piece in the form of "L" (2), on which the different bars or planks that will configure the railing of protection.

The aforementioned main piece (1) has two quadrangular holes, one smaller (1a) and one larger (1b), one in each of the arms that forms the "U", through of which runs a third plate or trapezoidal piece (3).

Thus, between the main piece (1) and the piece trapezoidal (3) the circular strut (4) is placed, which due to the trapezoidal or wedge shape of the piece (3), when moving locks and imprison the strut (4) leaving the device perfectly secured to this, as can be seen in Figure 3.

The trapezoidal piece (3), presents, joined by solidarity form at one of its ends, a rod or stop () whose objective is to prevent it from passing through the smaller hole (1a) of the piece main, but that allows its passage through the greater orifice (1b) of the another arm of the piece (1), while at the opposite end, this trapezoidal piece (3) has a hole (3a) open until the song in which once the piece (3) has been introduced into the assembly, insert a pin (6) so that it does not allow its passage through of the hole (1a) of the main part (1) and thus preventing the piece (3) is released from the set.

Once the device is attached to the strut (4), on the piece in "L" (2), as mentioned, you can support the protection bar or board that forms the railing, said part being arranged in "L" (2) of holes (2a) for allow fixing to the support by screwing said bar  or board.

Describe sufficiently the nature of the The present invention, as well as how to implement it, is it states that, within its essentiality, it may be taken to the practice in other embodiments that differ in detail from the one indicated by way of example, and which will reach also the protection that is collected as long as it is not altered, change or modify its fundamental principle.

Claims (3)

1. Support device for handrails and protection elements, of the type intended for the support of bars or horizontal boards that act as handrails and that are used as protection elements for people falling or as a baseboard in the event of the fall of objects or tools under vacuum during the realization of the slabs in the construction works, characterized by the fact that it comprises a "U" shaped plate or main piece (1), of suitable dimensions to fit the diameter of the tube of the conventional uprights, of which emerges outwardly and in solidarity with another plate or piece in the form of "L" (2) on which the bar or board that acts as a railing will rest; in which the mentioned main piece (1) has two quadrangular holes, one of smaller size (1a) and another larger (1b), one in each of the arms that forms the "U", through which runs a third plate or trapezoidal piece (3), which, when moving locks and imprisons the strut (4) leaving the device
subject to this. 2. Device for supporting rails and protection elements, according to claim 1, characterized in that the trapezoidal part (3) has a rod or stop (5) which is joined in a solidary manner at one of its ends. prevents it from passing through the minor hole (1a) of the main piece (1), but that allows its passage through the major hole (1b) of the other arm of the piece (1), and because at the opposite end, this piece trapezoidal (3) has a hole (3a) open until the edge in which once the piece (3) has been inserted into the assembly, a pin (6) is inserted so that it does not allow its passage through the hole (1a) of the main part (1) and thus preventing the part (3) from being released from the assembly. 3. Support device for railings and protection elements, according to claims 1 and 2, characterized in that the "L" piece (2) has holes (2a) to allow fixing to the support by screwing the bar or board that acts as a railing.
