Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a connecting member for connecting different scaffolding systems, the connecting member comprising: at least one first connecting region configured for connection to a first scaffolding system and having a shaft extending along a longitudinal axis; and an attachment region configured for connection to a second scaffolding system, wherein the first connecting region and the attachment region are arranged adjacent to each other in the direction of the longitudinal axis, and the first connecting region has, at least on its side away from the attachment region, a receiving portion extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis and located within it. The attachment region has a support adjacent to the first connecting region, the support extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and the support having the longest dimension of the attachment region in the direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The attachment region also has an insertion region extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis and adjacent to the support on the side of the support facing away from the first connecting region in the direction of the longitudinal axis. The invention further relates to a scaffolding segment for connecting different scaffolding systems using a connecting member. Background Technology

[0002] Scaffolding is used for a variety of tasks in the construction industry. Exterior scaffolding is used for designing the exterior surfaces of buildings, such as for painting. Exterior scaffolding is typically constructed using an exterior scaffolding frame as its main component; more recently, modular scaffolding has also been used. In civil engineering, shoring is used to position and hold various building components in place. These components can be, for example, precast concrete components, steel supports, or steel structures. Furthermore, elements required for erecting buildings (such as temporary structures or formwork) can also be positioned using shoring. Finally, scaffolding is also used for servicing or modifying areas, for example, in large processing plants like oil refineries, to safely transport workers to sections requiring maintenance. Generally, a basic requirement for scaffolding is that it must be easy to transport and assemble.

[0003] Different scaffolding systems exist for different applications. Such scaffolding systems are constructed as modular systems, allowing for easy assembly of various scaffolding shapes from standardized components. However, these components typically only work effectively with components from the same scaffolding system, and connecting to another scaffolding system requires considerable effort. For example, there are system scaffolding tools from civil engineering used as construction aids for bridges. These systems are highly load-bearing and designed to temporarily support bridge components during construction. However, for workers to work on the bridge under construction, the bridge construction aids must also include steps, railings, ladders, etc. These components are often created using different scaffolding systems, such as exterior wall scaffolding. In bridge erection embodiments, the assembly aids or support structures of the bridge formed by a first scaffolding system must connect to the workers' working surface formed by a second scaffolding system. In this case, interfaces must be provided to allow the second scaffolding system to connect to the first. In the prior art, this is typically achieved through separately suitable connecting components fabricated on-site. The disadvantages of these homemade connectors are that their load-bearing capacity is often inaccurately estimated, and their fabrication requires a significant amount of work. Another problem with these separately constructed connectors is that the grid representing the basic dimensions of the scaffolding system is often not maintained during installation. Because the connectors are not fitted to the scaffolding system's grid, other components of the modular scaffolding system often cannot be connected as planned, requiring further adjustments during scaffolding erection.

[0004] International patent application WO2019 / 161825A1 discloses a column connection adapter that can connect columns of a first scaffolding system to support members of another scaffolding system. The proposed adapter can connect to the support member via multiple connecting elements, with the support member having multiple connection holes. A drawback of the proposed solution is that this adapter can only connect to support members with precisely defined widths. Furthermore, the adapter only allows the second scaffolding system to connect to the first scaffolding system on one side. If connections are needed on both sides, multiple adapters are required, increasing workload, and in most cases, the grid dimensions of the scaffolding system cannot be maintained using adapters. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a solution by which scaffolding elements of at least two different scaffolding systems can be securely connected to each other, providing such a connection to reduce adjustment work for further construction of the at least two different scaffolding systems across the connection point.

[0006] This objective is achieved through a connecting component for connecting different scaffolding systems, comprising: at least one first connecting region configured for connection to a first scaffolding system and having an axis extending along a longitudinal axis; and an attachment region configured for connection to a second scaffolding system, wherein the first connecting region and the attachment region are arranged adjacent to each other in the direction of the longitudinal axis, and the first connecting region has, at least on its side away from the attachment region, a receiving portion extending inwardly in the axis in the direction of the longitudinal axis, and wherein the attachment region has a support adjacent to the first connecting region, the support extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and the support having the longest dimension of the attachment region in the direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and the attachment region also having an insertion region in the direction of the longitudinal axis. Extending upwards, and adjacent to the support on a side of the support away from the first connection area in the direction of the longitudinal axis, wherein the insertion area has at least one first insertion interface having two first abutment surfaces that are parallel to each other and / or symmetrically oriented with respect to the longitudinal axis, and the two abutment surfaces are arranged on the outside of the insertion area in a radial direction about the longitudinal axis, oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis, and the first insertion interface includes at least one fastening notch that penetrates the entire insertion area and extends substantially at right angles to the two first abutment surfaces, wherein the support extends further from the longitudinal axis in a first radial direction than in a second direction radial to the longitudinal axis and substantially perpendicular to the first direction, the first direction having the longest radial dimension of the attachment area in relation to the longitudinal axis.

[0007] The connecting member according to the invention is used to connect two different scaffolding systems. For this purpose, the connecting member has an interface for connecting a first scaffolding system and an interface for connecting a second scaffolding system. These interfaces enable the connecting member to be quickly, easily, and securely connected to the two scaffolding systems. The connecting member includes at least one first connecting region that forms an interface with the first scaffolding system. This connecting region has a shaft extending along a longitudinal axis. In most cases, this longitudinal axis corresponds to the assembly direction of the first scaffolding system. This longitudinal axis is preferably arranged symmetrically with respect to the axis. Hereinafter, this longitudinal axis can serve as a geometric basis for describing further elements and the relationships between these elements. The shaft is preferably designed to be cylindrical. However, other cross-sectional shapes of the shaft (e.g., square cross-sections) are also conceivable. As the interface with the second scaffolding system, the connecting member includes an attachment region. The first connecting region and the attachment region are arranged adjacent to each other in the direction of the longitudinal axis and are adjacent to each other. Therefore, the connecting member is directly adjacent to the interface of the first scaffolding system and the second scaffolding system. The first connecting region has a receiving portion located inside its shaft at an end opposite to the attachment region. The receiving portion extends along the longitudinal axis. This receiving portion is provided so that at least a portion of the connecting member can be inserted into the receiving portion when it is connected to an element of the first scaffolding system. This creates a positive locking between the connecting member and the first scaffolding system, allowing for easy and secure assembly. The receiving portion preferably has a circular cross-section and extends linearly along the longitudinal axis. Therefore, the interior of the receiving portion is preferably designed to be cylindrical. The shape and size of the receiving portion correspond to the shape and size of the receiving portions in the first scaffolding system to interconnect multiple scaffolding elements of the same modular system. Thus, various elements of the first scaffolding system can be easily connected to the receiving portion of the first connection area of ​​the connecting member. The receiving portion may extend along the longitudinal axis, passing through the entire axis or only a portion of the axis. The attachment area includes a support arranged directly adjacent to the first connection area. This support extends in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and serves as a support for elements of the second scaffolding system as the connecting member. This support serves both as a positioning aid and for transmitting force and torque between the connecting member and the second scaffolding system. The support extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis means that the longest dimension of the support (i.e., its length) is oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The thickness of the support is preferably oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis. The width of the support is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, as is the length of the support. It is advantageous for the support to have a plate-like design. In the support, the attachment area has the longest dimension in the radial direction about the longitudinal axis. In other directions, such as parallel to the longitudinal axis, other elements of the attachment area can have dimensions longer than the maximum dimension of the support. The shaft and support in the first connection area abruptly merge together, i.e., the outer surface of the shaft is perpendicular to the surface of the support oriented in the direction of the first connection area.In a top view of the support along the longitudinal axis, the support preferably has a rectangular shape, with its length greater than its width. Regarding its length, the support has the longest dimension of its attachment area. This refers to the portion of the support that extends beyond the attachment area. Another such portion of the attachment area is an insertion area, which extends adjacent to the support on the side facing away from the first connection area. The insertion area is intended to be inserted into one element or between two elements of the second scaffolding system. The insertion area includes at least one first insertion interface, the shape of which allows it to form a positive lock with the second scaffolding system at least partially. The first insertion interface includes two first abutment surfaces, which are arranged parallel to each other and / or symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal axis. The abutment surfaces may be flat or curved. The two first abutment surfaces form the outer surface of the insertion area and are arranged on its outer periphery. The first abutment surfaces are arranged at a distance from the longitudinal axis in a radial direction relative to the longitudinal axis. At their longest extent, the abutment surfaces extend parallel to the longitudinal axis. This means that the longest extension or dimension of the two abutment surfaces is oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis. Two first adjacent surfaces can be fixedly arranged on the attachment area. Optionally, the positions of the two first adjacent surfaces relative to the longitudinal axis can also be adjusted. This allows for adjustment of the distance between the two first adjacent surfaces, making it easy to adapt to different second scaffolding systems. To enable a positive locking connection between the attachment area and the second scaffolding system, the insertion area also includes a fastening recess that penetrates the entire insertion area and is arranged substantially perpendicular to the two first adjacent surfaces. When the connecting component is connected to the second scaffolding system, a pin or rivet element can be introduced into the fastening recess, and the pin or rivet element is further introduced into a receiving recess in the second scaffolding system. In this way, a positive locking connection can be created between the connecting component and the second scaffolding system through riveting. This riveting between two components to be connected is also used between components of the same modular system in many scaffolding systems. Such a connection is easy to implement and stable.

[0008] The support of the connecting member according to the invention extends beyond the adjacent insertion area in a first direction radial to the longitudinal axis than in a second direction that is also radial to the longitudinal axis and extends substantially perpendicular to the first direction. This means that the support can extend further beyond the longitudinal axis in some circumferential regions than in others. Therefore, the support extending beyond the longitudinal axis can result in a large degree of unevenness in the circumferential direction about the longitudinal axis. The support preferably extends furthest beyond the longitudinal axis in a first radial direction relative to the longitudinal axis, which corresponds to a radial direction relative to the longitudinal axis oriented perpendicular to the two first adjacent surfaces. In this way, the support can be securely rested against the scaffolding element of the second scaffolding system when the first insertion interface having the two first adjacent surfaces is arranged within the scaffolding element of the second scaffolding system. Furthermore, this uneven extension of the support beyond the longitudinal axis means that in some regions, beyond the first adjacent surfaces, the support extends less beyond the insertion interface, where it is generally not necessary to rest the support against the scaffolding element of the second scaffolding system. This design of the support results in optimal low weight for the connecting member.

[0009] Furthermore, the support extends further out of the longitudinal axis in a first direction radial to the longitudinal axis than in a second direction radial to the longitudinal axis and substantially perpendicular to the first direction, the first direction having the longest radial dimension of the attachment area to the longitudinal axis. In a top view from the longitudinal axis direction, the support thus exhibits a different overall degree of circumferential extension. This design ensures that the connecting components have a shape optimally integrated with the second scaffolding system and do not extend beyond the scaffolding elements in the radial direction of the longitudinal axis.

[0010] The advantage of the connecting component according to the invention is that it can be easily connected to two different scaffolding systems without any separate adjustment work. The first scaffolding system can be easily connected to the receiving portion in the first connecting area via an insertable coupling. This connection via the receiving portion essentially corresponds to other connections between different scaffolding elements of the first scaffolding system. Therefore, the first connecting area is integrated into the first scaffolding system and is fully compatible with other scaffolding elements in the modular system of the first scaffolding system. The same applies to the insertion interface and the second scaffolding system: the shape and size of the insertion interface correspond to the interface also used between scaffolding elements in the second scaffolding system. In this way, the insertion interface or attachment area can be directly integrated into the second scaffolding system without any adjustment work. According to the invention, the arrangement of the first connecting area and the fastening area covers a wide range of situations where two scaffolding systems must be connected to each other. Therefore, the connecting component according to the invention can be used as a standard connection between two scaffolding systems. The connection to the second scaffolding system can also be achieved and fastened in a simple manner via an insertable coupling by providing a fastening notch. This allows for the rapid and safe erection of scaffolding segments incorporating scaffolding elements of both a first and a second scaffolding system. Therefore, using the connecting component according to the invention to connect two scaffolding systems saves time in assembling the relevant scaffolding segments. Another advantage of the connecting component according to the invention is that the dimensions of the first connection area and the attachment area are designed to correspond to the grid of the first and second scaffolding systems. Thus, both the first and second scaffolding systems can continue to be constructed within the relevant grid used by the scaffolding system. In this way, the performance of both scaffolding systems can be fully maintained throughout the connection point. Due to its simple structure, the connecting component according to the invention is robust yet lightweight. This makes it easy to transport and attach to scaffolding segments.

[0011] In one embodiment, the connecting component further includes a second connecting region configured to connect to the first scaffolding system. This second connecting region is arranged along the longitudinal axis on the side of the support opposite to the first connecting region. The second connecting region has a receiving portion extending along the longitudinal axis, the internal cross-section of which is oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and its shape is substantially the same as the internal cross-sectional shape of the receiving portion of the first connecting region in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. In this embodiment, the connecting component includes two connecting regions configured as interfaces for connection to the first scaffolding system. The second connecting region is arranged opposite to the first connecting region along the longitudinal axis. The second connecting region is located on the opposite side of the support with respect to the first connecting region. The second connecting region may extend partially into the attachment region or be arranged adjacent to the attachment region on the side opposite to the first connecting region. The second connecting region also includes a receiving portion into which scaffolding elements of the first scaffolding system can be inserted. The receiving portion of the second connecting region is preferably designed identically to the receiving portion of the first connecting region. In particular, the cross-sectional area of ​​the receiving portion in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis is the same. In this embodiment, the distance between the ends of the first and second connecting regions can be selected such that this distance corresponds to the grid size of the first scaffolding system. In this way, the grid of the first scaffolding system is preserved when the connecting components are installed between the scaffolding elements of the first scaffolding system. In this embodiment, the scaffolding elements of the first scaffolding system can be connected on both sides of the attachment region. In this embodiment, the connection point between the first scaffolding system and the second scaffolding system connected to the attachment region can therefore be generated in a simple manner. The second connecting region may include a second shaft containing a receiving portion, and its design is the same as or similar to the shaft of the first connecting region. Such a shaft can be formed from, for example, a segment of a cylindrical tube.

[0012] In another embodiment, the insertion area defining the attachment region also has a second insertion interface having two second abutment surfaces parallel to each other and / or symmetrically oriented relative to the longitudinal axis, and arranged radially on the outside of the insertion region and oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis relative to the longitudinal axis. The second insertion interface includes at least one fastening notch penetrating the entire insertion region and extending substantially at a right angle to the two second abutment surfaces, which are oriented at an angle (particularly a right angle) to the two first abutment surfaces. In this embodiment, the insertion region of the attachment region includes two insertion interfaces of different sizes. These two different insertion interfaces enable the connecting member to connect to scaffolding elements of different sizes in the second scaffolding system. The first insertion interface is configured for connection to a first type of scaffolding element in the second scaffolding system, and the second insertion interface is configured for connection to a second type of scaffolding element in the second scaffolding system. The two insertion interfaces are identical in principle but differ from each other in details of shape and size. These details will be described in other embodiments. The two second abutment surfaces are offset relative to the two first abutment surfaces in a circumferential direction about the longitudinal axis. Therefore, the second adjacent surface is arranged at a certain angle to the first adjacent surface. The normal of the second adjacent surface is also arranged at a certain angle to the normal of the first adjacent surface. The angle between the first and second adjacent surfaces is preferably 90°. In this embodiment, the first insertion interface is offset at a right angle relative to the second insertion interface in the circumferential direction about the longitudinal axis. The first insertion interface is used to connect the connection area to a first type of scaffolding element of the second scaffolding system. If the connecting component is to be connected to a second type of scaffolding element of the second scaffolding system, the connecting component only needs to be rotated 90° about the longitudinal axis and connected to the second scaffolding system using the second insertion interface. Therefore, in this embodiment, a connection to either the first or second type of second scaffolding system can be established through a simple rotation of the connecting component. No adjustment work is required when the connection is changed from the first type to the second type. Therefore, this embodiment of the connecting component can be directly connected to two different types of scaffolding elements via the attachment area without additional work. Therefore, the provision of the second insertion interface further increases the usability of the connecting component. Furthermore, the second insertion interface increases the stability of the attachment area, enabling the connecting component to accept and withstand higher loads. The shapes of the two insertion interfaces are preferably symmetrical with respect to the longitudinal axis, so that the connecting component remains fully integrated when both insertion interfaces are used in the grids of the second and first scaffolding systems. Since the two insertion interfaces are essentially identical in design, the work steps involved in connecting the connecting component to the second scaffolding system are almost identical for both interfaces; therefore, the connecting component can be easily and safely assembled and disassembled by workers.

[0013] In an advantageous embodiment, the receiving portion of the second connecting region is positioned coaxially with the longitudinal axis, thereby aligning with the receiving portion of the axis of the first connecting region. The receiving portions of both the first and second connecting regions have end faces, which are arranged on opposite sides of the connecting member. In this embodiment, the two connecting regions are arranged coaxially with each other. Therefore, the two connecting regions are on a common line of action to facilitate force transmission. In this embodiment, the two connecting regions are arranged such that they are positioned relative to each other within the vertical columns of the first scaffolding system. In this way, the connecting member behaves like a vertical column of the first scaffolding system, thus allowing for particularly easy integration into the first scaffolding system. Components of the first scaffolding system can be inserted into the connecting member through the end faces, which are arranged on opposite sides of the two receiving portions.

[0014] It is preferable to stipulate that the second connection area is located within the attachment area. In this embodiment, the second connection area is located inside or surrounded by the attachment area. This makes the arrangement of the interfaces of the two scaffolding systems compact and the total length of the connecting components small.

[0015] Optionally, the second connecting region is specified to extend beyond the attachment region on the side of the attachment region opposite to the first connecting region in the direction of the longitudinal axis. In this embodiment, the second connecting region extends beyond the attachment region on the side of the connecting member opposite to the first connecting region. A portion of the second connecting region may also be arranged within the attachment region. This extension of the second connecting region allows for an increase in the overall length of the connecting member, for example, to accommodate a longer grid size of the first scaffolding system. Furthermore, if the second connecting region extends beyond the attachment region, it is easier to access.

[0016] In another preferred embodiment, the second connecting region is defined as having a shaft that extends beyond the attachment region at least in a region opposite to the first connecting region, and a receiving portion is arranged in at least some regions of the shaft. In this embodiment, the second connecting region also has a shaft, the design of which is similar to or the same as the shaft of the first connecting region. The receiving portion of the second connecting region may be wholly or only partially arranged in the shaft.

[0017] Furthermore, the first connection area and / or the second connection area are specified to have at least one rivet hole extending radially along the longitudinal axis and penetrating the entire first connection area and / or the entire second connection area. In this embodiment, one or both connection areas are provided with rivet holes, which are preferably arranged in the shaft. Pin elements or rivet elements can be introduced into the rivet holes to connect the connecting component and adjacent scaffolding elements of the first scaffolding system to each other in a positive locking manner. Such rivets are also used in many scaffolding systems to connect identical or different scaffolding elements within the scaffolding system. Therefore, the rivet holes in the connection areas form a further connection interface between the connecting component and the first scaffolding system, and increase the robustness of the connection between the components.

[0018] Furthermore, it is advantageous that the receiving portion of the first connection area and / or the receiving portion of the second connection area have a circular internal cross-section perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. In this embodiment, the receiving portion in the first and / or second connection areas is cylindrically designed. This embodiment is suitable for a first scaffolding system with a cylindrical interface. Of course, the cross-section of the receiving portion can also have different shapes to match the interface of the first scaffolding system.

[0019] It is preferable to specify that the first connection region and / or the second connection region are formed by pipes in at least some areas. In this embodiment, the connection region is formed by pipe segments. In addition to pipe segments, the connection region may also have other components. This embodiment is particularly easy to manufacture.

[0020] Furthermore, the support is specified to close the receiving portion in the first connection region along the axial direction of the longitudinal axis, or at least reduce its inner diameter. In this embodiment, the support is designed such that the inner diameter is at least partially reduced. The support extends into the interior of the receiving portion. The scaffolding element of the first scaffolding system, pushed into the receiving portion, can therefore rest against the support in an axial direction parallel to the longitudinal axis. Thus, force can be transferred from the introduced scaffolding element to the connecting member. Optionally, the receiving portion in the first connection region and any receiving portion that may exist in the second connection region can also transition to each other without narrowing within them. In this alternative case, the support does not extend into the interior of the receiving portion. This allows the element to be guided completely through the receiving portion and through the entire connecting member along the longitudinal axis. In this case, force can be supported and transmitted via the end of the connecting region away from the support. As described above, a first connection region and a second connection region can also be provided, both formed by a common, continuous pipe segment whose interior is not narrowed by the support. In this case, the support is designed to be completely outside the pipe segment and securely connected to its outer surface.

[0021] Advantageously, the first connection area has a connecting disc fastened to the outer surface of the shaft, the connecting disc extending radially relative to the longitudinal axis, and having at least one planar connecting surface oriented substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, wherein the connecting surface has at least one connecting notch that fully penetrates the connecting disc parallel to the longitudinal axis. In this embodiment, the connecting disc is arranged on the outer side of the shaft and is used to connect the first and / or second connection areas to scaffolding elements of the first scaffolding system. The connecting disc extends radially away from the longitudinal axis. In a top view along the longitudinal axis, the connecting disc may have a circular, square, rosette-shaped, or other external shape. The connecting disc has a flat connecting surface oriented perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. Multiple connecting notches are preferably arranged in the connecting surface through which the notch interfaces of the scaffolding elements of the first scaffolding system can be guided. Such a connecting disc is also used on other scaffolding elements of the first scaffolding system, for example, on vertical columns. The shape of the connecting notch can be adapted to the interface of the relevant first scaffolding system.

[0022] It is preferable to specify that the support of the attachment region extends beyond the first connecting region in the radial direction about the longitudinal axis. In this embodiment, the support extends beyond the connecting region at least where it connects with the first attachment region. This results in an abrupt transition between the connecting region and the attachment region to which the support belongs. However, this transition can also have a chamfer or radius, making the transition between the connecting region and the attachment region less abrupt, thereby reducing the occurrence of notch effects. If the connecting region has a connecting disc, this can also extend beyond the support in the radial direction about the longitudinal axis.

[0023] In an advantageous embodiment, the outer diameter of the insertion region in the radial direction about the longitudinal axis is greater than the inner diameter of the receiving portion of the first connecting region and / or greater than the inner diameter of the receiving portion of the second connecting region. In this embodiment, the outer peripheral surface of the insertion region extends radially further out of the longitudinal axis than the inner diameter of the receiving portion. The insertion region is intended to be inserted into a scaffolding element of the second scaffolding system or between two scaffolding elements. Because the inner diameter of the receiving portion for receiving the scaffolding element of the first scaffolding system is smaller than the outer diameter of the insertion region, the scaffolding element of the first scaffolding system can be guided through the connecting member, thereby through the cross scaffolding element of the second scaffolding system. This embodiment is particularly advantageous because both scaffolding systems can be continuously connected to each other in their grid by means of the connecting member. In this way, the combination of the two scaffolding systems can be carried out in essentially the same manner and is as stable as if the two scaffolding systems were each constructed continuously in their respective grids individually.

[0024] Furthermore, it is preferable to specify that the support comprises multiple components, including in some areas a cover plate oriented substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and in other areas a portion of an insert plate oriented parallel to the longitudinal axis, the insert plate also providing at least a portion of a first abutting surface. In this embodiment, the support includes multiple partial regions formed by different but interconnected components of the attachment region. The support includes a cover plate that extends beyond the first connection region to which it is connected in a radial direction about the longitudinal axis. At least one insert plate is directly adjacent to and connected to the cover plate, a portion of which belongs to the support. Another portion of the insert plate belongs to the insertion region and provides at least one first abutting surface. When connected to a second scaffolding system, the portion of the insert plate belonging to the insertion region is inserted into a scaffolding element of the second scaffolding system or between two scaffolding elements. The portion of the insert plate belonging to the support is not inserted into the second scaffolding system, but can serve as a load-bearing surface when the connecting component is positioned relative to the second scaffolding system.

[0025] Advantageously, the support is specified to have a planar first bearing surface, which is substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and extends radially beyond two first adjacent surfaces relative to the longitudinal axis. In this embodiment, the support includes a first bearing surface disposed on the side of the support opposite to the first connection area. The bearing surface is perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and extends radially beyond two first adjacent surfaces. When the two first adjacent surfaces are inserted into or between two scaffolding elements of the second scaffolding system, the first bearing surface is intended to rest against the scaffolding elements of the second scaffolding system. In this case, the two first adjacent surfaces rest inside the second scaffolding system, and the first bearing surface defines the assembly or connection position between the second scaffolding system and the connecting components.

[0026] In an advantageous embodiment, a first bearing surface is specified to be disposed on a cover plate or at least one insert plate. The first bearing surface may be disposed on the side of the cover plate opposite to the first connection area, or on the surface of the insert plate opposite to the first connection area. In the case of multiple insert plates (especially insert plates arranged in parallel with each other), the first bearing surface may also be composed of the surfaces of the multiple insert plates.

[0027] Furthermore, it is specified that the first bearing surface and the two first adjacent surfaces are arranged in a manner that is adjacent to and / or directly adjacent to each other. In this embodiment, the first bearing surface and the two first adjacent surfaces are arranged directly adjacent to each other. In particular, these two surfaces are arranged at right angles to each other. This arrangement (i.e., they are directly adjacent to each other) allows for a particularly stable connection with the scaffolding elements of the second scaffolding system. This scaffolding element of the second scaffolding system typically has two surface areas that are also adjacent to each other and arranged at right angles to each other. Therefore, the design of the first bearing surface and the first adjacent surfaces allows for optimal positive locking between the attachment area and the scaffolding elements of the second scaffolding system.

[0028] In one embodiment, two insert plates are provided, oriented parallel to each other and arranged symmetrically with respect to a longitudinal axis. In this embodiment, the attachment region includes the two insert plates. These two insert plates are arranged symmetrically with respect to a longitudinal axis. If a portion of the second connection region extends into the attachment region, then the two insert plates can be connected to or attached thereto. The two insert plates are preferably identical in shape and size.

[0029] In another embodiment, the insert plate is specified to have a mounting surface that is substantially perpendicular to the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and has an edge region that is perpendicular to the mounting surface and surrounds the insert plate, with partial regions of two first adjacent surfaces arranged on mutually opposing partial regions of the edge region. In this embodiment, the insert plate includes a mounting surface that is planar or arc-shaped. The mounting surface is oriented perpendicular to a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. The mounting surface is arranged on one side of the insert plate that is oriented inward in the direction of the longitudinal axis. The mounting surface is preferably designed to be planar. An edge region surrounds the insert plate adjacent to the mounting surface. This edge region is preferably formed by a surface that is perpendicular to the mounting surface. A portion of this edge region forms a portion of the first adjacent surface. In this case, a portion of the first adjacent surface is formed by a first portion of the edge region. A portion of the second first adjacent surface is formed by a second portion of the edge region, which is opposite to the first portion of the edge region.

[0030] It is preferable to specify that the first bearing surface is arranged on an edge region adjacent to a portion of the two first adjacent surfaces. In this embodiment, both the first bearing surface and portions of the two first adjacent surfaces are arranged on the edge region of the insertion plate. The first adjacent surfaces and the first bearing surface are adjacent, preferably arranged at right angles to each other.

[0031] In one embodiment, two insert plates are provided, with a portion of the edge regions of the two insert plates jointly forming a first bearing surface and two first adjacent surfaces. In this embodiment, two insert plates are provided, arranged symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal axis, and together form the first bearing surface and two first adjacent surfaces. This embodiment is particularly stable. The portion of the two first adjacent surfaces is arranged at a distance from each other, which is advantageous for the transmission of force and torque between the connecting components and the second scaffolding system. Furthermore, the provision of two insert plates simplifies the arrangement of the second insertion interface with the second adjacent surface. For this purpose, another embodiment will be described below.

[0032] Furthermore, it is advantageously specified that the fastening notch is located in a portion of the attachment area that differs from the insert plate. In this embodiment, the fastening notch does not penetrate the insert plate. For example, the fastening notch may extend into a portion of the attachment area within the third connection area. The fastening notch may also be located in another component of the attachment area. In the case of two insert plates, the fastening notch is preferably located between the two insert plates and intersects the longitudinal axis.

[0033] It is preferable to specify that multiple fastening notches are provided, spaced apart from each other in the direction of the longitudinal axis. In this embodiment, multiple fastening notches are provided in the direction of the longitudinal axis, and these fastening notches can be used simultaneously or as an alternative for riveting the connecting component to one or more scaffolding elements of the second scaffolding system. By providing multiple fastening notches, the connecting component can be connected to scaffolding elements of different sizes in the second scaffolding system without the need for adjustment. If multiple fastening notches are used simultaneously for riveting, the load-bearing capacity of the connection can be increased.

[0034] Furthermore, it is preferable to specify that the insertion area of ​​the attachment region has a second insertion interface, the second adjacent surfaces of which are all arranged on the insertion plate. These adjacent surfaces are formed by the outer surfaces and are all oriented parallel to the mounting surface. In this embodiment, the attachment region includes two insertion interfaces, which are optional alternatives for connecting to scaffolding elements of the second scaffolding system. Each of these two insertion interfaces has two adjacent surfaces. The two second adjacent surfaces of the second insertion interface are arranged on one of the two insertion plates. These adjacent surfaces are all formed by surfaces representing the outer surfaces of the respective insertion plates. These outer surfaces are arranged parallel to the corresponding mounting surface of each insertion plate. In this embodiment, the edge regions of the two insertion plates together form two first adjacent surfaces, and one outer surface of each insertion plate individually forms one of the two second adjacent surfaces. In this embodiment, all adjacent surfaces of the two insertion interfaces are cleverly arranged on the two insertion plates. Therefore, the connection component designed in this way consists of only a few parts, thus making it simple, compact, and lightweight. Nevertheless, this embodiment has two different insertion interfaces that can be flexibly connected to scaffolding elements of different sizes in the second scaffolding system.

[0035] It is preferable to specify that the support has a planar second bearing surface, which is oriented substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis and extends radially beyond two second adjacent surfaces relative to the longitudinal axis. In this embodiment, the second insertion interface is assigned its own second bearing surface on the support. To act as a support in the connection between the connecting component and one or more scaffolding elements of the second scaffolding system, the second bearing surface extends radially beyond the second adjacent surfaces relative to the longitudinal axis. In this case, the second bearing surface may also be formed by two partial surfaces arranged separately from each other and each adjacent to one of the two adjacent surfaces. The second bearing surface and the two second adjacent surfaces are preferably oriented perpendicularly to each other. The first bearing surface and the second bearing surface may be arranged in the same plane or in different parallel planes.

[0036] In an advantageous embodiment, the second bearing surface is defined as being formed by the surface of the cover plate, and the second bearing surface is adjacent to two second adjacent surfaces. In this embodiment, the second bearing surface is a portion of the surface of the cover plate, disposed on the side of the cover plate away from the connection area. The second bearing surface may be divided into two parts, formed by two separate portion surfaces of the cover plate. The second bearing surface is directly adjacent to the two second adjacent surfaces. The second layer surface is preferably oriented at right angles to the second adjacent surfaces. The extent to which the second bearing surface extends beyond the two second adjacent surfaces can be the same as the extent to which the first bearing surface extends beyond the two first adjacent surfaces. Alternatively, the extent to which the second bearing surface extends beyond the second adjacent surfaces can also be designed to differ from the extent to which the first adjacent surfaces extend beyond the first adjacent surfaces.

[0037] It is preferable to specify that the fastening notch penetrates at least one insert plate. The second insert interface also has a fastening notch that penetrates the entire insert area. Pin elements for fastening and attaching connecting components to scaffold components of the second scaffolding system can be introduced into this fastening notch. The design of the fastening notch of the second insert interface is similar to that of the first insert interface. Starting from at least one second abutting surface, the fastening notch extends radially through the insert area. This fastening notch penetrates at least one insert plate. In embodiments with two insert plates, the fastening notch preferably penetrates both insert plates.

[0038] Advantageously, the multiple fastening notches are arranged to be spaced apart from each other in the direction of the longitudinal axis. In this embodiment, the multiple fastening notches are also provided on or in the second insertion interface. Therefore, the connecting parts can also be connected to scaffolding elements of different designs of the second scaffolding system using the second insertion interface without the need for adjustment work.

[0039] Furthermore, the distance between the two first adjacent surfaces is specified to be different from the distance between the two second adjacent surfaces. Preferably, the distance between the two first adjacent surfaces is different from the distance between the two second adjacent surfaces. Therefore, the two insertion interfaces are of different sizes, allowing the connecting component to connect to scaffolding elements of different sizes in the second scaffolding system via the two insertion interfaces. Depending on which scaffolding element in the second scaffolding system the connecting component is to be connected to, either the first or second insertion interface is used for this connection.

[0040] The object of the invention is also achieved by a scaffold segment for connecting different scaffolding systems, the scaffold segment comprising: at least one connecting member according to any of the above embodiments; at least one scaffolding element of a first scaffolding system connected in a positive-locking manner to a first connection area and / or a second connection area of ​​the connecting member; and at least one scaffolding element of a second scaffolding system connected in a positive-locking manner to an attachment area of ​​the connecting member, wherein the first scaffolding system and the second scaffolding system are different from each other. The scaffold segment according to the invention includes at least one connecting member. This connecting member is connected in the scaffold segment to the first scaffolding system and the second scaffolding system. The first scaffolding system is connected in a positive-locking manner (e.g., by insertion) to the first connection area of ​​the connecting member. If the connecting member has a second connection area, then another scaffolding element of the first scaffolding system can also be connected to the second connection area. The positive-locking connection between the first scaffolding system and the connection area can be further strengthened and secured by riveting with pin elements. Further positive locking is then created between the connecting member and the first scaffolding system using pin elements. The scaffolding segment according to the invention also includes at least one scaffolding element of a second scaffolding system, which is connected to the attachment area of ​​the connecting member in a positive locking manner. This connection can also be reinforced and secured using fastening notches. The first and second scaffolding systems are different from each other and have different connection interfaces. In the scaffolding segment according to the invention, the connecting member serves as a transition between the two different scaffolding systems. Because the connecting member has interfaces for connecting both the first and second scaffolding systems, the connection between the two scaffolding systems can be performed simply and without any adjustment work. Therefore, the scaffolding segment according to the invention can be erected and dismantled simply and quickly. The dimensions of the connecting member are designed such that when two different scaffolding systems are connected, the grid of the two scaffolding systems is retained at the connection point. Thus, the scaffolding segment is integrated into two scaffolding systems, and despite the connection point, the advantages of both scaffolding systems are preserved.

[0041] In one embodiment, the scaffolding elements of the first scaffolding system are formed by vertical columns of frame scaffolding or system scaffolding, and the scaffolding elements of the second scaffolding system are formed by horizontal supports comprising two spaced-apart, parallel-aligned support rails. In this embodiment of the scaffolding segment, the scaffolding element of the first scaffolding system connected to the connecting area is a vertical column. Such vertical columns are used in scaffolding systems of frame scaffolding or system scaffolding. Such vertical columns are typically vertically oriented within the scaffolding segment. In this embodiment, the scaffolding elements of the second scaffolding system are formed by horizontal supports that are typically horizontally oriented. These horizontal supports are designed to accommodate loads and are part of scaffolding systems primarily used in civil engineering. For example, such horizontal supports may be configured to support and position prefabricated components of a building structure. In this case, the horizontal support comprises two support rails spaced apart from each other and extending parallel to each other. These two support rails are interconnected at multiple points to form the horizontal support. The two support rails typically have I-shaped, C-shaped, or T-shaped cross sections, which is particularly advantageous for achieving high bending strength.

[0042] It is preferable to specify that the vertical column is inserted into the receiving portion of either the first or second connecting area. The vertical column of the first scaffolding system is inserted into the receiving portion of the connecting area in the scaffolding segment. This receiving portion may at least partially correspond to the negative shape of one end of the vertical column. Optionally, the vertical column may be inserted into the receiving portion, wherein an adapter is inserted.

[0043] In another embodiment, a connector is provided between the vertical column and the receiving portion of the first connecting area or the receiving portion of the second connecting area, connecting the vertical column and the connecting member to each other. In this embodiment, a connector is provided between the vertical column and the receiving portion. On one hand, the connector is inserted into the receiving portion of the connecting member; on the other hand, it is inserted into the end face of the vertical column. Such a connector allows the connecting member and the vertical column to be connected to each other, both having hollow recesses as interfaces. Force can be transmitted between the vertical column and the connecting member through the connector. Alternatively, force can also be transmitted directly between the connecting area of ​​the connecting member and the end face of the vertical column. In some areas, the connector has a negative shape of the recess of the connecting area; in other areas, it has a negative shape of the interior of the end face of the vertical column. The connector can be provided with different lengths, which provides additional possibilities for easily adapting the grid size of the connecting member to the first scaffolding system.

[0044] Furthermore, advantageously, the insertion area of ​​the connecting member is arranged between the support rails of the horizontal support member, with the two first abutting surfaces or two second abutting surfaces of the insertion area bearing the inner surfaces of the support rails. In this embodiment of the scaffold segment, the insertion area is at least partially inserted between the support rails of the horizontal support member. The support rests against the support rails. The distance between the abutting surfaces substantially corresponds to the distance between the two support rails of the horizontal support member. In this way, a positive locking is established between the insertion area and the horizontal support member. The two abutting surfaces of the first or second insertion interface rest against the mutually facing inner surfaces of the support rails. Of course, a small distance can be provided between the support surface and the inner surface of the support rail as a clearance, through which the insertion area can be inserted between the two support rails. By arranging the attachment area of ​​the connecting member between the two support rails, a particularly stable and secure connection between the connecting member and the second scaffolding system can be achieved. This connection is located within the horizontal support member, thus not hindering the attachment of other elements or components outside the horizontal support member. In addition, this connection within the horizontal support reduces the risk of injury to workers on scaffold segments from protruding scaffold components.

[0045] Furthermore, the support rail is specified to have a receiving notch that penetrates the support rail in a direction perpendicular to its longitudinal direction. The connecting component is oriented onto the horizontal support member such that the fastening notch aligns with the receiving notch in the support rail. In this embodiment, at least one receiving notch is provided in each of the two support rails of the horizontal support member. This receiving notch completely penetrates the support rail, and its shape and size substantially correspond to the shape and size of the fastening notch of the connecting component. When the connecting component is connected to the horizontal support member, the attachment area is inserted between the two support rails, aligning the fastening notch and the receiving notch. Multiple receiving notches are preferably arranged in each support rail. For example, multiple receiving notches can be arranged at a certain distance from each other in the longitudinal direction. This allows the connecting component to be connected to the horizontal support member at different points.

[0046] Furthermore, it is advantageously specified that a rivet element is provided, which is releasably introduced into the fastening recess and receiving recess in a positive locking manner, and connects the horizontal support and the connecting member in a positive locking manner. In this embodiment of the scaffold segment, a rivet element is provided for securing the connecting member and the horizontal support to each other. The rivet element may be cylindrical, at least in certain areas, and its size always allows it to be inserted into the fastening recess and receiving recess. To secure the connecting member, it is inserted between the support rails, thereby aligning the fastening recess and receiving recess with each other. The rivet element is then inserted into the aligned recess. This riveting is performed on the outside of the horizontal support, and is therefore easy to implement. Furthermore, it is clearly identifiable from the outside of the horizontal support whether a rivet element has been introduced. This is very useful for checking the correct assembly of the scaffold segment before people enter the scaffold.

[0047] It is preferable to specify that the rivet element has a clamping device, and the clamping device generates force for an additional non-positive connection between the horizontal support and the connecting component. In this embodiment, the rivet element is provided with a clamping device by means of which the external dimension of the rivet element in its radial direction can be changed. This clamping device is used to secure the rivet element upon insertion. The rivet element is inserted into the connection between the horizontal support and the connecting component, and then the clamping device is activated. Therefore, in certain areas, the outer diameter of the rivet element increases, causing it to press against the inner wall of the notch. This creates a non-positive connection between the components and prevents the rivet element from falling out. Alternatively, the rivet element may also have a clamping device acting in the axial direction, for example, formed by a simple external thread, on which a nut is screwed in the inserted state. Furthermore, a locking pin may be provided instead of a tensioning device, which penetrates the rivet element in the inserted state and then extends beyond the rivet element. In this way, the rivet element is also prevented from accidentally falling out of the notch.

[0048] Furthermore, it is advantageously specified that at least two spacers are introduced between the support rails, which position the two support rails relative to each other. In this embodiment, the two support rails of the horizontal support are connected by means of at least two spacers. The distance between the first or second adjacent surfaces of the connecting members is chosen to be slightly smaller than the internal distance between the two support rails defined by the spacers.

[0049] Furthermore, it is advantageously specified that the total length of the connecting components corresponds to the grid size of the first scaffolding system, and / or the distance between two parallel first adjacent surfaces and / or two parallel second adjacent surfaces corresponds to the grid size of the second scaffolding system. The total length of the connecting components along the longitudinal axis is set such that this length corresponds to the grid size of the first scaffolding system. Additionally, the distance between adjacent surfaces matches the distance between two support rails, thus corresponding to the grid size of the second scaffolding system.

[0050] The features, effects, and advantages disclosed regarding connecting components are also considered to be disclosures regarding scaffold segments. Conversely, the features, effects, and advantages disclosed regarding scaffold segments are also considered to be disclosures regarding connecting components. Attached Figure Description

[0062] Figure 1 A schematic and perspective view of a scaffold segment 100 with two different scaffolding systems is shown. The scaffold segment 100 shown here includes: a first scaffolding system 2 extending vertically; and a second scaffolding system 3 represented by two horizontally extending horizontal supports 31. The first scaffolding system 2 is a frame scaffolding or system scaffolding. It is readily apparent that the first scaffolding system 2 has regularly arranged, repeating scaffolding elements. The first scaffolding system 2 is constructed as a modular system from which various components or scaffolding elements can be combined into scaffolding segments of different shapes. The first scaffolding system 2 has multiple grid dimensions that repeat within the scaffolding segments. In other words, the scaffolding is constructed within a grid. Such a grid dimension extends, for example, between horizontally extending crossbars in the figure, with six crossbars arranged on the left-front side of the scaffolding segment 100. The first scaffolding system 2 has further grid dimensions, such as the length and width of the scaffolding segment 100 shown. In the vertical direction, multiple vertical columns 21 are arranged in the scaffold segment 100 shown. Two horizontal supports 31 belong to the second scaffold system 3. These horizontal supports of the second scaffold system 3 are significantly more stable than the components of the first scaffold system 2. Typically, the second scaffold system 3 is used to accommodate higher loads or span greater distances. In the scaffold segment 100 shown, the first scaffold system 2 and the second scaffold system 3 are interconnected by a total of four connecting parts 1. The connecting parts 1 form joints between the two scaffold systems. Figure 1 As can be clearly seen in the diagram, connecting component 1 is integrated into the grid of both scaffolding systems. This means that both scaffolding systems can be further constructed within their own grids via the connection points formed by connecting component 1. Therefore, the modular principle of the two scaffolding systems is preserved, which is highly advantageous for rapid erection and dismantling, as well as ensuring the load-bearing capacity of scaffolding segment 100. Details regarding connecting component 1 and its connection to the two scaffolding systems can be seen in and described in the following diagram.

[0063] Figure 2A perspective view of a first embodiment of the connecting member 1 according to the present invention is shown. The connecting member 1 shown has the following three main regions arranged from top to bottom in one direction in the figure: the first connecting region 11 is arranged at the top; the attachment region 12 is adjacent to and below the first connecting region 11; and the second connecting region 13 is also below the attachment region 12. The first connecting region 11 is provided with one or more interfaces for connection to the first scaffolding system 2. The first connecting region 11 extends along the longitudinal axis LA. The first connecting region 11 includes a shaft 111, which is formed here by a cylindrical tube segment. A connecting disc 15 is arranged on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft 111. The connecting disc 15 has a planar connecting surface 151 oriented upward in the figure. Here, a plurality of connecting recesses 152 penetrating the connecting disc 15 are arranged in the connecting surface 151. The connecting disc 15 is provided for connection with the scaffolding elements of the first scaffolding system 2. The connecting disc 15 is used as an interface between scaffolding elements in the first scaffolding system 2. The interior of the shaft 111 is a receiving portion 1111. The receiving portion 1111 is formed within the hollow interior of the shaft 111 and extends along the longitudinal axis LA through the entire shaft. The receiving portion 1111 has a circular cross-section. Scaffolding elements of the first scaffolding system 2 can be inserted into the receiving portion 1111 to create a positive locking connection with the connecting member 1. A rivet hole 14 is arranged in the shaft 111 between the connecting plate 15 and the attachment area 12. A pin element can be inserted through this rivet hole 14, then penetrates the wall of the shaft and the recess in the scaffolding element of the first scaffolding system 2 introduced into the receiving portion 1111. The scaffolding element of the first scaffolding system 2 can be fixed to the connecting member 1 in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis LA by such riveting. A second connecting area 13 is arranged on the side of the connecting member 1 located at the bottom in the figure. The second connecting area 13 is also used to connect the connecting member 1 to the first scaffolding system 2. The second connecting area 13 is also largely formed by a cylindrical tubular segment. Internally, the second connecting region also has a receiving portion 131, which can be accessed from below and is arranged in the shaft 132. The diameter of the receiving portion 131 is the same as that of the receiving portion 1111, and it also extends along the longitudinal axis LA and is positioned coaxially with the receiving portion 1111. In the illustrated embodiment, a portion of the first connecting region 11 and a portion of the second connecting region 13 can be generated from a common, continuous pipe segment. The wall of the second connecting region 13 also has rivet holes 14, which are the same as those in the first connecting region 11, for connecting or securing the scaffolding elements of the first scaffolding system 2. In the illustrated embodiment, a portion of the second connecting region 13 is arranged within the attachment region 12. This makes the overall design of the connecting component 1 compact and stable. The attachment region 12 is arranged in the central region of the connecting component 1 and serves as an interface for connecting to the second scaffolding system 3. The attachment region 12 has a support 121 on its upward-facing side.In the illustrated embodiment, the support 121 is formed by a flat rectangular cover plate 1211 and portions of two insert plates 123. The cover plate 1211 is directly adjacent to the axis 111 of the first connection region 11. The cover plate 1211 is oriented with its largest surface perpendicular to the longitudinal axis LA. In a top view from the longitudinal axis LA, the cover plate 1211 is rectangular, with the long side of the rectangle extending in the same direction as the two insert plates 123 are arranged radially relative to the longitudinal axis LA. The upper portions of the two insert plates 123 also belong to the support. Each insert plate 123 is T-shaped in the top view. The upper part of the T belongs to the support 121. This part of the T-shaped insert plate 123 has a plane on the downward-pointing side in the illustration, and these planes together form the first bearing surface 121a of the support 121 here. When the connecting member 1 is connected to the second scaffolding system 3, the first bearing surface 121a rests against the scaffolding element and forms a support for positioning the connecting member 1 relative to the second scaffolding system 3. On the downward-pointing side of the cover plate 1211 in the illustration, the second bearing surface 121b of the support 121 is arranged in the area extending beyond the two insert plates 123. In the case of connection with the second scaffolding system 3, in the illustrated embodiment, either the first bearing surface 121a or the second bearing surface 121b can be mounted on the scaffolding element of the second scaffolding system 3. Which of the two adjacent surfaces 1211 or 1212 is actually used depends on which of the two insert interfaces 1221 or 1222 described below is used for connection.

[0064] exist Figure 2In the illustrated embodiment, the attachment region 12 includes two insertion ports 1221 and 1222. When the connecting component 1 is connected to the second scaffolding system 3, portions of these insertion ports 1221 and 1222 rest against one or more scaffolding elements of the second scaffolding system 3. The first insertion port 1221 has a portion of its area on two opposite sides of the longitudinal axis LA. The first insertion port 1221 here includes two first abutting surfaces 1221a and 1221b, which are oriented parallel to each other and point to the right front and left rear in the illustration. These two first abutting surfaces 1221a and 1221b are formed here by two insertion plates 123. As described above, in the illustrated embodiment, the two insertion plates 123 are T-shaped. Each insertion plate 123 has a mounting surface 123a that is radially inward along the longitudinal axis LA. Each insertion plate 123 is attached to the inner region of the attachment region 12 via the mounting surface 123a. In the illustrated embodiment, this inner region is formed by a pipe segment. Two insert plates 123 are fixed to the internally arranged pipe section by welding. Adjacent mounting surfaces 123a have narrow edges extending around the insert plates 123. This edge forms an edge region 123b. Partial areas of the two first adjacent surfaces 1221a and 1221b are arranged on this partial area of ​​the edge region 123b. In other words, the first of the first adjacent surfaces 1221a is formed by the right-facing portions of the edge regions 123b of the two insert plates 123. The second of the first adjacent surfaces 1221b is formed by the left-rear portion of the edge regions 123b of the two insert plates 123. Therefore, partial areas of the two adjacent surfaces 1221a and 1221b are positioned on either side of the longitudinal axis LA, spaced apart from each other on either side of the internally arranged pipe section. Therefore, the two first adjacent surfaces 1221a and 1221b together constitute spatially distributed adjacent surfaces, which allow for good force and torque transmission between the connecting member 1 and the second scaffolding system 3 when connected to the second scaffolding system 3. When using the first insertion interface 1221 and the two first adjacent surfaces 1221a and 1221b, the first bearing surface 121a, which is directly adjacent to and adjoins the first adjacent surfaces 1221a and 1221b on the insertion plate 123, is used to rest the connecting member 1. There are two fastening recesses 12211 belonging to the first insertion interface 1221 between the two insertion plates 123 in the pipe segment (arranged between the two insertion plates 123), and one of the fastening recesses is arranged above the other. These two fastening recesses 12211 penetrate the entire insertion area 122 and can be used for positive locking connection or to fasten the connecting member 1 to the second scaffolding system 3. The attachment area 12 includes the second insertion interface 1222. The second insertion interface 1222 has two second adjacent surfaces 1222a and 1222b.The two second adjacent surfaces 1222a and 1222b, shown in the figure, point to the left front and right rear, respectively, and are arranged on the side of the insert plate 123 opposite to the mounting surface 123a. The distance between the two first adjacent surfaces 1221a and 1221b is different from the distance between the two second adjacent surfaces 1222a and 1222b. Due to these different distances, the two insert interfaces 1221 and 1222 are of different sizes, and can therefore be used as connection interfaces to connect to scaffolding elements of different sizes in the second scaffolding system 3. Advantageously, the two insert interfaces 1221 and 1222 have been operated and offset by 90° and are securely arranged on the connecting member 1. When constructing the scaffolding segment 100, the connecting member 1 can be simply rotated about the longitudinal axis LA to select the appropriate insert interface 1221 or 1222 for connection. Therefore, the connecting member 1 in the illustrated embodiment can be readily adapted to different scaffolding elements of the second scaffolding system 3. Meanwhile, the component arrangement shown in the figure, with two T-shaped insert plates 123 connected to the pipe section, is very compact and stable, resulting in a high load-bearing capacity for the connecting component 1. When using the second insert interface 1222 and the two second adjacent surfaces 1222a and 1222b, the second bearing surface 121b adjacent to these two second adjacent surfaces 1222a and 1222b is used to rest against the second scaffolding system 3. Within the region of the second bearing surface 121b, the support 121 extends further in the radial direction along the longitudinal axis LA than in the direction offset by 90°. In the top view from the direction of the longitudinal axis LA, the longer side of the cover plate 1211 is between a portion of the second bearing surface 121b. This ensures that within the region of the second insert interface 1222, the second bearing surface 121b has a sufficiently large overhang between the two second adjacent surfaces 1222a and 1222b. Simultaneously, it prevents the support 121 from unnecessarily being suspended or protruding in the area of ​​the first insertion interface 1221 and the two first adjacent surfaces 1221a and 1221b. This achieves a lightweight and slim design for the connecting component 1. Because the radial protrusion of the support 121 relative to the longitudinal axis LA in the area of ​​the first insertion interface 1221 is small, the attachment area 12 is sufficiently narrow in this direction within the narrow grid size of the second scaffolding system 3 to be inserted, without colliding with the components of the second scaffolding system 3. The second insertion interface 1222 here includes a fastening notch 12211 that penetrates the two insertion plates 123 and extends at right angles to the two second adjacent surfaces 1222a and 1222b. In the illustrated embodiment, the cover plate 1211 of the support 121 is connected to the first connecting area 11 and the two insertion plates 123 via welding points, respectively. In the illustrated embodiment, the shaft 111 of the first connecting region 11, the inner region of the attachment region 12 arranged between the insertion plates 123, and the shaft 132 of the second connecting region 13 are formed by a common, continuous pipe segment.This common pipe section has a constant internal cross-section.

[0065] Figure 3 The second embodiment of the connecting member 1 according to the invention is shown in a) side view, b) top view and c) perspective view. Figure 3 The second embodiment of the connecting component 1 shown is similar to Figure 2 The difference in the first embodiment shown lies in the design of the attachment region 12. Unless otherwise stated, please refer to the details of the second embodiment. Figure 2 And related descriptions. First connecting region 11 and Figure 2 The first embodiment is the same. Figure 3 The second embodiment also has a second connection region 13, the design of which is also similar to... Figure 2 The first embodiment is almost identical. Furthermore, Figure 3 The second connection region 13 has a plurality of rivet holes 14. The insertion region 122 of the attachment region 12 also includes two insertion interfaces 1221 and 1222, which are configured as optional alternatives for connecting the connecting component 1 to the scaffolding elements of the second scaffolding system 3. The two insertion plates 123 of the illustrated embodiment differ in shape from the insertion plates 123 of the first embodiment. The two second abutting surfaces 1222a and 1222b are curved here and arranged symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal axis LA. In the illustrated embodiment, the mounting surface 123a is also curved, resulting in them resting with a large surface area against the cylindrical tube segment forming the interior of the attachment region 12. The two insertion plates 123 are connected to the cylindrical tube segment by means of welding points. In the top view along the longitudinal axis LA, the first insertion interface 1221 is also offset by 90° relative to the second insertion interface 1222. The two first adjacent surfaces 1221a and 1221b are also formed here by the edge regions 123b of the two insertion plates 123. Certain areas of the edge regions 123b are also curved. Both the first insertion interface 1221 and the second insertion interface 1222 have at least one fastening recess 12211 that fully penetrates the attachment region 12. In this embodiment, each of the two insertion plates 123 is provided with a threaded region 123c. This threaded region 123c is provided to facilitate the insertion of the rivet element 33 into the fastening recess 12211 of the second insertion interface 1222. In the top view b) shown in the middle, the threaded region 123c is removed from the insertion plate 123 in a semi-circular shape. In the side view a) and perspective view c), this shape can be seen as resembling a chamfer or insertion bevel around the fastening recess 12211. In the top view from the direction of the fastening recess 12211, the threaded region 123c is arranged coaxially with the central axis of the fastening recess 12211. Furthermore, the threaded area 123c representing the cutout in the insertion plate 123 can also be used for a positive locking connection with the scaffolding elements of the second scaffolding system 3. Figure 3 In the second embodiment shown, both the first bearing surface 121a and the second bearing surface 121b are arranged on the cover plate 1211 of the support 121. Therefore, the two bearing surfaces 121a and 121b are both located in the same plane. Also in the second embodiment, the distance between the two first adjacent surfaces 1221a and 1221b is different from the distance between the two second adjacent surfaces 1222a and 1222b.

[0066] Scaffolding segment 100 can be seen in the following figures. Figure 4 and Figure 5 In each scaffolding segment of 100, 100 were installed Figure 2 The first embodiment of the connecting component 1 in the middle; Figures 6 to 9 Installed in Figure 3 The second embodiment of the connecting component 2.

[0067] Figure 4 A perspective view of a first embodiment of the scaffolding segment 100 according to the present invention is shown. Figure 4 Corresponding to Figure 1 A portion of the scaffold segment 100 is shown. The connecting member 1 according to the first embodiment can be seen approximately at the center of the figure. The first connecting region 11 connects to a scaffold element of the first scaffold system 2. The second connecting region 13 also connects to a scaffold element of the first scaffold system 2. In contrast, the attachment region 12 connects to a scaffold element of the second scaffold system 3. For... Figure 4 and Figure 5 For details covered by the scaffolding elements of the second scaffolding system 3, please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 2 And related descriptions.

[0068] The first upward-pointing connecting region 11 is connected to the vertical column 21 of the first scaffolding system 2 via an adapter 211. In this case, the adapter 211 includes a protruding region that is introduced into the receiving portion 1111 of the first connecting region 11. A shoulder of the adapter 211 rests against the upper end face of the first connecting region 11. The adapter 211 also has another upward-pointing protruding region that is inserted into the lower end of the vertical column 21. A shoulder is also arranged on the side of the adapter 211 facing the vertical column 21, and the end face of the vertical column 21 rests against this shoulder. In the illustrated embodiment, the vertical force is transmitted from the vertical column 21 to the connecting region 11 via the two shoulders of the adapter 211. Alternatively, the protruding region can be arranged directly on the vertical column 21 and then inserted into the receiving portion 1111. The visible height of the adapter 211 also allows for adjustment of the effective total length of the connecting component 1, thus enabling the connecting component 1 to easily adapt to different grid sizes of the first scaffolding system 2. The vertical column 21 is also connected to the second connecting area 13 located below. Here, an adapter 211 is also used for connection. However, the adapter used in the second connecting area 13 does not have any shoulders like the adapter 211 used in the first connecting area 11. The lowerly inserted adapter 211 is inserted both into the receiving portion 131 of the second connecting area and into the interior of the vertical column 21. The lower adapter 211 aligns the two components precisely, allowing their end faces to rest directly together. Therefore, vertical forces are transmitted directly between the end faces of the components below. A small gap is drawn in the figure to make the adapter visible. This gap is not visible during use. The second scaffolding system 3 is represented here by the horizontal support 31. The second scaffolding system typically includes other scaffolding elements, which are not shown here. The horizontal support 31 includes two support rails 31a and 31b, which are spaced apart and aligned parallel to each other. The two support rails 31a and 31b have a C-shaped cross-section and are oriented relative to each other with their long sides facing each other. The two support rails 31a and 31b are positioned relative to each other by means of at least two spacers 34 (not shown), which are arranged between the two support rails 31a and 31b. The two support rails 31a and 31b have multiple notches at which other elements can be connected to the horizontal support 31. A forward-facing receiving notch 32 is visible, which penetrates the two support rails 31a and 31b and has a circular cross-section therein. Figure 4In the illustrated embodiment, the connecting member 1 is connected to the horizontal support 31 via its first insertion interface 1221. To establish this connection, the insertion area 122 is inserted between the two support rails 31a and 31b until the first bearing surface 121a impacts and rests on the tops of the two support rails 31a and 31b. This impact marks the correct position of the connecting member 1 relative to the horizontal support 31. In the inserted state, the two first abutting surfaces 1221a and 1221b contact the inward-facing wall of one of the support rails 31a and 31b, respectively. Therefore, there is a large integral bearing surface between the connecting member 1 and the horizontal support 31, which allows for good force and torque transmission between the two components. In the illustrated position, the fastening recess 12211 of the connecting member 1 is aligned with the receiving recess 32 of the horizontal support 31, so the two components can be connected to each other in a positive locking manner via a rivet element 33. This rivet element 33... Figure 4 It is shown in simplified form as a cylindrical pin. From Figure 4 As can be seen, the support 121 and the insertion area 122 do not protrude from the horizontal support 31 in the lateral direction. Therefore, the attachment of other scaffolding elements to the horizontal support 31 is not obstructed, and the risk of injury to people is reduced.

[0069] Figure 5 A perspective view of a second embodiment of the scaffolding segment 100 according to the present invention is shown. Unless otherwise stated, the second embodiment is similar to... Figure 4 The illustrated embodiments are described accordingly. Figure 5 The second embodiment includes a larger horizontal support 31 in the second scaffolding system 3, which is connected to the connecting member 1. This horizontal support 31 also includes two support rails 31a and 31b; however, these two support rails are larger than... Figure 4 The components are large and arranged at considerable distances from each other. For this reason, connecting component 1 (that is...) Figure 4 The connecting component 1) in Figure 5 The middle section is connected to the horizontal support 31 via the second insertion interface 1222. Therefore, two second abutting surfaces 1222a and 1222b bear the inward surfaces of the two support rails 31a and 31b. The second bearing surface 121b, located at the bottom of the cover plate 1211, rests against the upward-facing surfaces of the two support rails 31a and 31b in this case. Figure 5 In this configuration, the second insertion interface 1222 and the two support rails 31a and 31b are positioned relative to each other, such that the fastening recess 12211 in the insertion area 122 is aligned with the receiving recess 32 in the horizontal support member 31. Therefore, in this case, the riveting element 33 can also be used to rivet the connected parts. Figure 4 and Figure 5A direct comparison clearly shows that connecting component 1 can be connected to two horizontal supports 31 of different sizes by simply rotating 90° around its longitudinal axis. Therefore, connecting component 1 can be handled flexibly, while still ensuring a stable, safe, and ergonomic connection with the different horizontal supports 31 of the second scaffolding system 3.

[0070] Figure 6 , 7 Figures 8 and 9 show scaffolding segments 100, each of which includes components according to... Figure 3 The connecting component 1 of any second embodiment shown separately. For simplicity, scaffolding elements connecting the first scaffolding system 2 to the first connecting area 11 and / or the second connecting area 13 are not shown in these scaffolding segments 100. Figure 6 , 7 Views 8 and 9 show the connection between the attachment region 12 and the horizontal support 31. For elements that are hidden in these views and therefore not shown, please refer to... Figure 3 And related descriptions.

[0071] Figure 6 A side view of a third embodiment of the scaffolding segment 100 according to the present invention is shown. Figure 6 A side view is shown, in which the connecting member 1 is connected to the horizontal support 31 via its second insertion interface 1222. Here, the horizontal support 31 also has two support rails 31a and 31b, which are arranged at a certain distance from each other. Figure 6 Two spacers 34 can be seen, one above the other, connecting the two support rails 31a and 31b and adjusting their distance from each other. In the illustrated state, two second abutting surfaces 1222a and 1222b rest against the inner walls of the two support rails 31a and 31b. Furthermore, the first bearing surface 121a of the support 121 rests against the top of the horizontal support member 31.

[0072] Figure 7 It shows Figure 6 A perspective view of the scaffold segment 100. In this perspective view, it can be seen that the two spacers 34 are offset in the longitudinal direction relative to the connecting member 1. In this perspective view, multiple receiving notches 32 can be seen, these notches being spaced apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the horizontal support member 31. The connecting member 1 and the horizontal support member 31 can be connected by riveting to rivet elements 33 at any location where the receiving notches 32 are provided.

[0073] Figure 8 A side view of a fourth embodiment of the scaffolding segment 100 according to the present invention is shown. Unless otherwise stated, Figure 8 Corresponding to Figure 6 Examples from [the document]. With [other examples]. Figure 6 Compared to the embodiments in, Figure 8 The horizontal support member 31 is smaller in size, and the distance between the two support rails 31a and 31b is greater than that of the horizontal support member 31. Figure 6 The small one. Therefore, Figure 8 The connecting component 1 is connected to the horizontal support 31 via the first insertion interface 1221. For this purpose, two first abutting surfaces 1221a and 1221b rest against the inner sides of the opposing walls of the support rails 31a and 31b. The first bearing surface 121a of the support 121 rests against the top of the two support rails 31a and 31b.

[0074] Figure 9 It shows Figure 9 A three-dimensional view of scaffolding segment 100. (In conjunction with...) Figure 7 In a direct comparison, it can be seen that connecting member 1 is only rotated 90° about its longitudinal axis LA to accommodate the different distances between support rails 31a and 31b. Similarly, when using the scaffold segment 100 with connecting member 1 according to the second embodiment, no part of the attachment area 12 extends laterally beyond the horizontal support member 31. Figure 8 and Figure 9 In the illustrated embodiment, the connecting member 1 and the horizontal support 31 can also be connected to each other in an additional positive locking manner by means of a rivet element 33, wherein the rivet element 33 is pushed into the fastening recess 12211 and the receiving recess 32 aligned with the fastening recess 12211.
