AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing scaffolding systems face challenges in safely and efficiently assembling and disassembling safety guardrails due to the risk of guardrails slipping or detaching during assembly, and the need for additional tool-based connections, which violate new safety regulations requiring guardrails to be installed before platforms are accessible.

Method used

A modular scaffold system with a safety guardrail that features a pivot bolt and perforated plate anchoring elements, allowing secure attachment without tools, ensuring the guardrail cannot be unintentionally released, and incorporating a design that prevents accidental detachment during assembly or disassembly.

Benefits of technology

The system enhances safety and simplifies assembly by preventing guardrail detachment and eliminating the need for tools, adhering to new safety regulations while reducing the risk of accidents.

Abstract

Modular scaffold (1) with at least a number of scaffold uprights (2), a number of modular scaffold beams (3) and a number of perforated discs (8), wherein at least one of the modular scaffold beams (3) is designed as a safety guardrail beam (3a) such that it can be mounted as a leading guardrail beam (3a), wherein the safety guardrail beam (3a) consists of a preferably tubular main body (4) which carries a first perforated disc anchoring element (5) at its first end face and a second perforated disc anchoring element (6) at its second end face, characterized by that a first perforated disc anchoring element (5) is associated with a rotatable pivot bolt (7) which is permanently pivotably connected to the safety railing bolt (3a) and preferably to its perforated disc anchoring element (5) and which can positively lock the perforated disc anchoring element (5), to which it is associated, with the perforated disc (8) supporting it in the fully assembled state in such a way that the perforated disc anchoring element (5) can no longer be lifted out of the perforated disc (8) without direct manual actuation of the pivot bolt (7).
