RAILING FEATURE

Description

[0001] The invention relates to a railing device for securing work and / or standing areas, in particular on a scaffold or facade scaffold, against persons falling down.

[0002] WO 02 / 057569 A1 discloses a railing device in which a railing strut is formed at both ends with locking elements for hooking into the corresponding receiving elements of a scaffolding tube, in particular a scaffolding post, wherein a captive fastening is ensured by providing each locking element with a slot or with a widened hook mouth. According to the first alternative, the locking element, also referred to as a coupling element, has the shape of a hook, wherein the shape of the hook with the hook opening or the hook mouth and the hook nose is selected such that the hook opening or mouth opening encloses an acute angle of approximately 45 degrees with the longitudinal axis of the pole. The hook mouth is slit-like and delimited by parallel slot surfaces.In the illustrated embodiment, this railing device has the disadvantage that it must be aligned at an angle of approximately 45 degrees to the longitudinal axis of the scaffolding post, which is provided with a ring-shaped rosette as a receiving element. In this intermediate suspension position, it must be held by a fitter against downward pivoting in order to avoid damage to or even destruction of the hook and / or rosette. This is before the railing device can be pivoted upwards from this intermediate suspension position into a horizontal installation position to form a pre-mounted railing. This design has the further disadvantage that when the railing device is pivoted upwards for the purpose of installing a pre-mounted railing, the hook can be inadvertently lifted out of the rosette of the scaffolding post.

[0003] A railing device with the features of the preamble of claim 1 is known from WO 02 / 072977 A1.

[0004] It is an object of the invention to provide a railing device of the type mentioned at the outset which, while still offering advantageous options for securing against lifting in the horizontal installation position, enables universal application possibilities for hanging on a large number of different railing fastening devices and offers expanded and simplified installation options as well as improved installation safety during installation as a leading railing.

[0005] This object is achieved by a railing device for securing work and / or standing areas, in particular on a scaffold or façade scaffold, against persons falling down, according to claim 1, which comprises a railing rod, preferably made of metal, which extends, preferably rectilinearly, in the direction of its railing rod longitudinal axis and which has at least two railing rod ends that extend away from each other in opposite directions, wherein one railing rod end, preferably designed as a coupling element for releasably fastening the railing device to a scaffold strut or to a scaffold post, has a plug-in and suspension slot for plugging the railing rod end onto a support element of a railing fastening device of a scaffold strut or scaffold post and for releasably suspending the railing rod end onto the support element or into the support element,and wherein the insertion and suspension slot contains a support element receiving space for receiving a support element part of the support element of the railing fastening device, and wherein the insertion and suspension slot, viewed in a transverse direction perpendicular to the railing rod longitudinal axis, is open outwards towards side surfaces of the railing rod end extending away from one another, preferably in an opposite direction, and is also open outwards in a, preferably only further, first direction transverse or perpendicular to the transverse direction, preferably and wherein the railing rod end is designed such that the railing rod can be mounted as a leading railing, for which the railing rod, starting from a vertical or oblique intermediate position, preferably in which it is releasably suspended with its railing rod end on the support element or in the support element, relative to the scaffolding strut or to the scaffolding post,is pivotable into a horizontal, preferably horizontal, installation position, and wherein the plug-in and hanging slot has a first slot part, a first transition slot part, and a second slot part, and wherein the first slot part extending in a first slot part direction is open outward in the first direction and merges via the first transition slot part into the second slot part, which extends away from the first slot part in a second slot part direction, which forms an angle of equal to or greater than 45 degrees, or equal to or greater than 60 degrees, or equal to or greater than 90 degrees with the first slot part direction. The first slot part thus opens into the second slot part via the transition slot part. The first slot part, the first transition slot part, and the second slot part are thus connected to one another in such a way that the plug-in and hanging slot is continuous or continuous.and wherein the first slot part, viewed in a horizontal installation position of the railing rod, is open downwards at its lower slot part end or open upwards at its upper slot part end, and wherein either the downwardly open first slot part merges at its upper slot part end into the first transition slot part, which merges into the second slot part extending away from the other railing rod end or forwards in the second slot part direction, or the upwardly open first slot part merges at its lower slot part end into the first transition slot part, which merges into the second slot part extending away from the other railing rod end or forwards in the second slot part direction, and wherein the second slot part merges upwards via a second transition slot part into a third slot part, which extends upwards away from the second slot part in a third slot part direction,which forms an angle of equal to or greater than 45 degrees, or equal to or greater than 60 degrees, or equal to or greater than 90 degrees with the second slot-part direction and / or which runs parallel to the first direction and / or to the first slot-part direction. Preferably, the insertion and suspension slot ends at the end of the third slot part facing away from the second transition slot part or the second slot part. The first slot part thus opens via the first transition slot part into the second slot part, which opens via the second transition slot part into the third slot part. The first slot part, the first transition slot part, the second slot part, the second transition slot part, and the third slot part are thus connected to one another in such a way that the insertion and suspension slot is continuous or continuous.

[0006] The first transition slot part can be limited by wall part corners and / or by wall part curves of the railing bar end or the coupling element.

[0007] Because the first slot part, viewed in a horizontal installation position of the railing rod, is open downwards at its lower slot part end or open upwards at its upper slot part end, universal options for easy attachment of the railing rod with its railing rod end from above, from the side, from below or from the front as well as further improved installation security during installation as a leading railing as well as particularly secure suspension options against lifting out, especially in the horizontal installation position, can be achieved.

[0008] According to a further development, it can be provided that the first slot part extends in the first slot part direction perpendicular to the railing rod longitudinal axis and / or that the second slot part extends in the second slot part direction parallel to the railing rod longitudinal axis.

[0009] The second transition slot part can be limited by wall part corners and / or by wall part curves of the railing bar end or the coupling element.

[0010] All of the above measures can lead to further improvements in the sense of the advantages mentioned above.

[0011] According to a preferred embodiment, the railing bar ends can be designed essentially the same. This results in advantages in terms of manufacturing, assembly, and application.

[0012] According to a particularly preferred embodiment, the railing rod can be designed to be substantially mirror-symmetrical to a longitudinal center plane of symmetry extending perpendicular to its longitudinal axis. This results in significant manufacturing, assembly, and application advantages.

[0013] Alternatively, the railing bar ends can be designed differently, allowing for expanded application possibilities.

[0014] It can be provided that one railing rod end of the differently designed railing rod ends is connected via a joint to a connecting device for releasably fastening the railing device to another railing fastening device of another scaffolding strut or another scaffolding post. The connecting device can be pivotable relative to the railing rod about a joint axis of the joint, preferably extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the railing rod. This allows an advantageous railing connection to be realized between different scaffolding struts of different scaffolding systems, in particular between a facade scaffold post for a facade scaffold or a facade scaffold on the one hand and a modular scaffold post for a modular scaffold or a modular scaffold on the other hand, with an advance assembly of the railing device.According to an advantageous further development, the connecting device can be a connecting head which can be or is connected to the rosette, in particular the perforated disc, by means of a fastening wedge which can preferably be inserted through a through-opening of a rosette, in particular a perforated disc, of the further scaffolding strut or the further scaffolding post in a detachable manner.

[0015] In further embodiments, it can be provided that the railing rod end or each railing rod end or the railing rod is designed to be substantially mirror-symmetrical to a transverse center plane of symmetry, which preferably contains the longitudinal axis of the railing rod and extends perpendicular to the longitudinal center plane of symmetry. This allows for additional manufacturing, assembly, and application advantages.

[0016] According to a particularly advantageous development, it can be provided that the first slot part and / or the second slot part and / or the third slot part or each slot part, preferably with the exception of the slot start and / or end regions and / or slot transition regions, is or are delimited by opposing flat, in particular planar, and / or parallel slot surfaces of wall parts of the railing rod end. This enables a particularly simple and trouble-free attachment of the railing rod with its railing rod end to an associated support element part of a support element of a railing fastening device of a scaffolding strut or scaffolding post, as well as advantageous assembly on the support element part with comparatively little play and correspondingly improved stability and security of the railing connection.

[0017] Alternatively or additionally, it can be provided that opposing slot surfaces or the opposing slot surfaces of at least two slot parts of the slot parts, i.e. of the first slot part and the second slot part or of the first slot part and the third slot part or of the second slot part and the third slot part or of each slot part of the slot parts, i.e. of the first slot part and the second slot part and the third slot part, optionally excluding the respective transition slot part or the transition slot parts and / or excluding transition and / or edge regions, each have a slot surface distance from one another corresponding to a slot part width, which is the same size, so that the at least two slot parts or each slot part, optionally excluding the respective transition slot part or the transition slot parts and / or excluding the transition and / or edge regions,have or have the same slot width.,

[0018] The invention also relates to an arrangement of scaffolding components for a building scaffold or facade scaffold or a building scaffold or facade scaffold, which comprises a scaffolding post, preferably made of metal, and the railing device according to the invention, wherein the opposing slot surfaces of the first slot part and / or the second slot part and / or the third slot part or of each slot part have a slot surface spacing corresponding to a slot part width, which is only slightly greater than an external dimension, in particular a height and / or width or an external diameter, of a support element part of a or the support element of a orthe railing fastening device of a scaffolding strut or of a scaffolding post, on the support element part of which the railing rod end can be releasably suspended in the intermediate position via its plug-in and receiving slot for mounting a leading railing, or is releasably suspended in the intermediate position via its plug-in and receiving slot, or is releasably suspended in such a way via its plug-in and receiving slot that the railing rod is mounted as a leading railing in the horizontal installation position resting on the support element part of the scaffolding post.

[0019] It is understood that the above-mentioned measures can be combined with each other as required within the scope of feasibility.

[0022] In the Figures 1.1, 1.21 shows a railing device 20 comprising a railing rod 21 extending in the direction of its longitudinal axis 22. The railing rod 21 contains a straight tube 23, preferably a round tube. The tube 23 extends in a straight line in the direction of its longitudinal axis 24. The longitudinal axis 24 coincides with the longitudinal axis 22 of the railing rod 21. The tube 24 has tube ends 25.1 and 25.2 pointing away from each other in opposite directions. Each tube end 25.1, 25.2 is connected, preferably in one piece, to a coupling element 26.1.1, 26.1.2, also referred to as a railing rod end. Each railing rod end or coupling element 26.1.1, 26.1.2 is suitable and intended for releasably attaching the railing device 20 to a scaffolding strut or scaffolding post. In the illustrated embodiment, the railing rod 21 is made of a hollow rod. The railing rod ends or coupling elements 26.1.1, 26.1.2 are produced by pressing together or flattening the ends of the hollow rod and by punching out a hook-shaped recess 27.1.1, 27.1.2 in each case. It is understood that the coupling elements or railing rod ends can alternatively also be produced as separate components. For example, each can be a plug-in and hook-in plate. To attach the respective plug-in and hook-in plate, the pipe can have a receiving slot at each pipe end into which the respective plug-in and hook-in plate can be inserted. The respective plug-in and hook-in plate can be permanently connected to the pipe by welding. The railing rod 21 therefore has a first railing rod end 26.1.1 and a second railing rod end 26.1.2, which, viewed in a direction parallel to the railing rod longitudinal axis 22, extend away from one another in opposite directions. The first railing rod end or coupling element 26.1.1 and the second railing bar end or coupling element 26.2.2 are designed identically.

The first slot part 37.4.1, which is open away from the other railing bar end or towards the front 45, merges at its rear slot part end pointing towards the other railing bar end into the first transition slot part 38.4.1, which merges upwards 46 into the second slot part 37.4.2. The first slot part 37.4.1 extends parallel to the railing rod longitudinal axis 22. The second slot part 37.4.2 extends perpendicular to the railing rod longitudinal axis 22. Accordingly, the second slot part direction 40.4.2 forms an angle 42.4 of 90 degrees with the first slot part direction 39.4.1.In this embodiment, the insertion and hanging slot 27.4 ends at its upper slot part end of the second slot part 37.4.2 pointing away from the second slot part 37.4.2.

[0034] In all embodiments, each slot part 37.1.1, 37.2.1, 37.3.1, 37.4.1; 37.1.2, 37.2.2, 37.3.2, 37.4.2, 37.2.3, 37.3.3, preferably with the exception of slot start and / or slot end regions and / or slot transition regions, is formed by opposing, parallel, in particular substantially planar, slot surfaces 47.1.1, 47.1.2; 47.1.3, 47.1.4; 47.2.1, 47.2.2; 47.2.3, 47.2.4; 47.3.1, 47.3.2; 47.3.3, 47.3.4: 47.4.1, 47.4.2; 47.4.3, 47.4.4 are bounded by wall sections of the respective railing bar end or coupling element 26.1, 26.2, 26.3, 26.4. As a result, the opposing slot surfaces 47.1.1, 47.1.2; 47.1.3, 47.1.4; 47.2.1, 47.2.2; 47.2.3, 47.2.4; 47.2.5, 47.2.6; 47.3.1, 47.3.2; 47.3.3, 47.3.4; 47.3.5, 47.3.6; 47.4.1, 47.4.2; 47.4.3, 47.4.4 of each slot part 37.1.1, 37.2.1, 37.3.1, 37.4.1; 37.1.2, 37.2.2, 37.3.2, 37.4.2, 37.2.3, 37.3.3, each viewed in a direction perpendicular to the respective opposite slot surfaces, has a slot surface spacing 48 from one another that corresponds to a slot part width and is essentially the same. Consequently, each slot part 37.1.1, 37.2.1, 37.3.1, 37.4.1; 37.1.2, 37.2.2, 37.3.2, 37.4.2, 37.2.3, 37.3.3 has an essentially equal slot part width.

[0035] It is understood that the railing rod instead of the one used, for example, in the Figures 1.1 and 1.2 shown, two identical railing bar ends or coupling elements 26.1.1, 26.1.2, of which each railing bar end or coupling element 26.1.1, 26.1.2 according to Figure 2 is designed, alternatively it can also be designed with two other identical railing bar ends or coupling elements, which for example each according to the Figure 3 or in Figure 4 or in Figure 5shown railing rod end. It is further understood that the respective two railing rod ends or coupling elements of the railing rod can also be designed differently. For example, the railing rod can be designed from any combination of two different railing rod ends or coupling elements, which are shown in the Figures 2 to 4are shown. Additionally or alternatively, it is possible for one railing rod end or coupling element of the two differently designed railing rod ends or coupling elements to be connected via a joint to a connecting device for releasably fastening the railing device to another railing fastening device of another scaffolding strut or another scaffolding post. For example, the connecting device can be pivotable relative to the railing rod about a joint axis of the joint, preferably extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the railing rod.

As in Fig. 12 As shown, a railing device 20 or its railing rod 21 can also be mounted on such a bracket 52.3; 52.3.1, 52.3.2 in a leading assembly and can be or have been transferred into a horizontal installation position 43.1.

[0040] In the Figures 9.1 to 9.3 is a railing bar end 26.1 of the railing bar 21 according to the Figures 1.1 and 1.2and 2 in different mounting positions during the suspension on a support element part 60 of a support element 54 of a railing fastening device of a scaffolding strut (not shown in detail), for example a scaffolding post. As can be seen from Fig. 9.1 As can be seen, the railing bar end 26.1 is plugged onto the support element part 60 of the support element 54 of a railing strut (not shown in detail) or a scaffolding post (not shown in detail) via the first slot part 37.1.1 of its plug-in and suspension slot 27.1. The railing bar end 26.1 can, as shown, be plugged onto the support element part 60 in a first plug-in direction 61.1, diagonally from top to bottom 44. The railing bar 21 is in an inclined first intermediate position 62.1. However, the railing bar end 26.1 can also be plugged onto the support element part 60 from the side. The railing bar is in a vertical first intermediate position (not shown).

[0041] The further insertion of the insertion and suspension slot 27.1 onto the support element part 60 can be carried out starting from the Fig. 9.1 shown oblique first intermediate position 62.1 into the Figure 9.2 shown oblique second intermediate position 62.2 of the railing rod 21.
