Embodiment Construction

[0025] In various embodiments, the present invention provides a post climbing device for climbing structural steel columns and the like that is relatively simple to use and inherently safe. The post climbing device allows a user to climb up and down a structural steel post or the like using natural motions by means of platform members attached to each of the user's feet that selectively clamp or release the structure Steel columns, etc. This provides unique access to the top of the vertical structural steel columns to position, bolt and / or weld the horizontal structural steel beams. Advantageously, the post climbing device of the present invention is relatively simple to manufacture and its failure is almost impossible.

[0026] Referring to FIG. 1 , in a particular embodiment of the invention, a pole climbing device 10 for climbing a structural steel pole 12 or the like having a flange 14 includes a platform member 16 having a toe portion 18 and a foot portion 20 . Preferab...

Abstract

The present invention provides a column climbing device for climbing structural steel coumns having flanges and the like. The column climbing device includes a platform member having a toe portion and a foot portion, the toe portion of the platform member including a first interior surface and a second interior surface together defining a substantially-rectangular notch open to one side of the toe portion of the platform member, the first interior surface and the second interior surface in a fixed parallel orientation with respect to one another, wherein the substantially-rectangular notch is configured to frictionally engage a flange of a column. The column climbing device also includes one or more attachment mechanisms attached to the foot portion of the platform member for securing the platform member to a foot of a user.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This nonprovisional patent application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 605,021, filed August 27, 2004, entitled "Post Climber for Structural Steel Assembly," which Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 605,021 is incorporated by reference into this application in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates generally to the field of construction equipment. More particularly, the present invention relates to a column climbing device for climbing structural steel columns and the like and related methods of use. Background technique [0004] During the construction process, especially a commercial or industrial construction process, after the foundation is laid, steel frames are erected to support the various floor, wall and roof systems. The steel frame erection process begins with the erection of a plurality of vertical structural steel columns, such as square ...
