Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a device for securing, in particular for securing without scaffolding, a person against falling from a height on a building, and to a side tensioning device for securing, in particular for securing without scaffolding, a person against falling from a height on a building according to the respective preamble of claims 1 and 10.

[0002] The present invention provides, among other things, a particularly quick and direct-acting fall protection system for inward-facing structures (into the interior of buildings) of any kind, especially in new construction and renovation projects (particularly against falls through dilapidated roofs). Assembly and use are therefore possible at any stage of construction. It is completely independent of the roof structure, yet the entire area is secured from the outset. The device can thus be used without additional scaffolding or similar structures.

[0003] One aspect of the invention is, in particular, a self-supporting and / or free-floating fall protection system that does not require additional vertical supports from below, i.e., from the ground, to attach the device to a building and / or scaffolding. Another aspect of the invention is the ability to implement such a fall protection system (preferably with only one anchor point at each of these locations) using previously unavailable anchor points for the device (for example, on the roof ridge and / or ceiling).

[0004] According to the invention, the device for securing, in particular for securing without scaffolding, a person and / or a tool and / or a tool basket against falls from a height on a building and / or on scaffolding comprises a securing element which can be tensioned at least partially along a roof ridge or roof ceiling or (roof) scaffolding and thus essentially in a horizontal direction (guiding direction of the securing element), as well as at least one side tensioning device for tensioning and fastening the securing element to a side wall and / or at one end of the roof ridge and / or the ceiling of a building, wherein the securing element can be fastened at at least one end to the side wall and / or the roof ridge and / or the roof ceiling by means of the side tensioning device.and another end of the securing element can be attached either to an element other than a side tensioning device or to another side tensioning device on the opposite side of the roof ridge and / or the roof covering.

[0005] The side-tensioning device comprises at least one base element, wherein the base element is in the form of a rod and / or a haptic, structural element of other design (it may also be a modular structural element), and wherein one end of the securing element can be detachably anchored to the rod element, and further, wherein the base element projects with one end a certain height in the vertical direction above the roof ridge and / or the roof covering, so that the securing element can be guided around this end of the base element and anchored to the base element along the vertical side wall, in particular wherein at least one rod-shaped support element, which is designed and intended to be arranged with one end, preferably directly, on the side wall of the building and with another end on the base element,This ensures that the base element remains essentially vertical along the side wall, even under load. Preferably, the base element touches the ridge and / or the ceiling, particularly only from the side, i.e., from a horizontal direction.

[0006] The base element can be horizontally leaned against the side wall and / or the ridge and / or the ceiling (laterally supported). Alternatively or additionally, the base element can also be directly screwed or permanently attached to the side wall and / or the frame, either detachably or permanently, or secured to the side wall or the frame with another type of fastener. The building itself, or the side wall, therefore forms a support surface against forces acting inwards towards the roof.

[0007] These forces can arise simply when two devices described here, located on opposite sides of the roof, are connected to each other via the securing element. If the securing element is a strap, chain, rope, or tensionable and / or stretchable element, the tension force acting on both ends of the securing element alone generates forces in the direction of the ridge and / or the roof. In at least one embodiment, these forces are at least partially counteracted by the bearing force of the base element against the side surface, since the respective ends of the securing element are attached to the upper end of the base element, which projects vertically beyond the roof.

[0008] The elements, such as the rod elements, of the device described and conceived here can be made of a metal, such as steel and / or aluminum, wood and / or plastic and / or other composite materials.

[0009] In the event of a fall of the person being secured in a vertical direction, the weight force and the stopping force are added according to the vector forces, so that the person, as in the case of a mountaineer falling, hangs in the ropes and does not fall essentially freely and unbraked all the way down to the ground and / or any intermediate floors of the building.

[0010] In at least one embodiment, however, the respective end of the locking element can also be deflected around an outer end of the base element and fastened to the side wall or to a fastening element of the base element. For this purpose, the base element itself can have fastening means (screws, bolts, ratchet closures, plug closures, dowels, etc.). Thus, locking element 3 can be tensioned by cranks, ratchets, etc., and / or locked by bolts, brakes, etc.

[0011] According to at least one embodiment, to support the end of the base element projecting upwards above the ridge and / or ceiling of the building against tensile forces in the horizontal and / or vertical direction, a ridge and / or ceiling support, in particular in the form of a pole (for example, in the form of a tripod or a component thereof), is arranged, with one end of the inclined ridge and / or ceiling support being attachable to or in the area of ​​the end of the base element and the other end of the support being directly attached to the ridge and / or ceiling, in particular by means of leg anchors to the ridge and / or ceiling and / or the side wall. The design described here can arrest / secure / absorb a pendulum fall of the falling person.

[0012] According to at least one embodiment, the side clamping device has at least one further retaining element, which is arranged vertically above or below the retaining element and is attached to the base element and / or the side wall of the building in the same way as the retaining element. Both retaining elements therefore fulfill the same functions, namely preventing the base element from slipping off its attachment to the side wall (for example, an outer and outward-facing stone wall) and stabilizing the entire scaffolding, and in particular the device described here as a whole.

[0013] According to at least one embodiment, the base element and / or the holding element and / or the further holding element can be detachably fastened directly to the roof ridge and / or the roof ceiling and / or a side wall using fasteners such as bolts, dowels and screws, so that a scaffold-free construction and thus also a scaffold-free securing of a person is possible.

[0014] According to at least one embodiment, at least one stiffening leg is arranged between the rod element and the base element in a horizontal and / or vertical direction. This can be achieved by screwing the stiffening leg into the rod element and the base element from both sides. Alternatively, only one end of the stiffening element, which is particularly tubular, can be arranged on the rod element and / or the base element.

[0015] According to at least one embodiment, the securing element is a rope, a chain, a strap or the like, in particular wherein the securing element is tensionable and / or not rigid.

[0016] According to at least one embodiment, at least one of the retaining elements comprises and / or forms at least one leg anchorage.

[0017] According to at least one embodiment, the lengths of the base element and / or at least one holding element are variable.

[0018] According to at least one embodiment, the rod-shaped retaining element and / or the base element has a rod extension which can be pushed in and out of a rod base in order to carry out the change in length and / or other dimensional changes.

[0019] According to at least one embodiment for securing a person along the ridge and thus along the horizontal direction, a safety lock is movable around the securing element, to which the person to be secured attaches themselves, in particular by means of a carabiner. Generally, however, all conventional fastening means are conceivable, depending on the user or safety requirements. According to the invention, the side-tensioning device for securing, in particular for securing without scaffolding, a person against falls from a building comprises at least one base element, wherein the base element is designed in the form of a rod, and wherein one end of a securing element, such as a strap, chain, or rope, can be detachably anchored to the rod element, and further, wherein one end of the base element is designed to project vertically beyond a roof ridge and / or a roof deck by a certain height.so that the securing element can be guided around this end of the base element and anchored to the base element along the vertical side wall, in particular, for example, at least one rod-shaped retaining element which is designed and intended to be arranged with one end, preferably directly, on the side wall of the building and with another end on the base element, so that a substantially vertical course of the base element along the side wall is ensured even under load.

[0020] The present invention will now be explained in more detail with reference to an exemplary embodiment and the accompanying figures.

[0021] This shows Figure 1a device 100 for securing, in particular for securing without scaffolding, a person against falling from a height on a building 1 and a side tensioning device 1000 for securing, in particular for securing without scaffolding, a person against falling from a height on a building 1.

[0022] In the Figure 1 It is apparent that the device 100 is located along a roof ridge or

[0023] The roof covering 2, and thus essentially in a horizontal direction H, comprises a securing element 3 that can be tensioned at least in certain places, and at least one side tensioning device 1000 for tensioning and fastening the securing element 3 to a side wall and / or to an end of the roof ridge and / or the ceiling 2 of a building 1, wherein the securing element 3 can be fastened at at least one end to the side wall and / or to the roof ridge and / or to the roof covering 2 with the side tensioning device 1000, and a further end of the securing element 3 can be fastened either to an element other than a side tensioning device 1000 or to a further side tensioning device 1000 on the opposite side of the roof ridge and / or the roof covering 2 and / or to an element of the device itself.

[0024] This side-tensioning device 1000 has at least one base element 5, wherein the base element 5 is designed in the form of a rod, and wherein one end of the securing element 3 can be detachably anchored to the base element 5, and further wherein the base element 5 projects with one end by a height amount V in the vertical direction above the roof ridge and / or the roof covering 2 and / or above a scaffold, so that the securing element 3 can be guided around this end of the base element 5 and anchored to the base element 5 along the vertical side wall, in particular wherein at least one rod-shaped support element, which is designed and provided for this purpose, is arranged with one end, preferably directly, on the side wall of the building 1 and with another end on the base element 5, so that a substantially vertical course of the base element 5 along the side wall is ensured even under load.

[0025] However, the respective end of the securing element 3 can also be deflected around an outer end of the base element 5 and fastened to the side wall or to a fastening element of the base element 5. For this purpose, the base element 5 itself can have fastening means (screws, bolts, ratchet fasteners, plug fasteners, etc.).

[0026] Furthermore, it is evident that, in order to support the end of the base element 5 projecting upwards above the ridge and / or the ceiling 2 of the building 1 against tensile forces in the horizontal and / or vertical direction H, a ridge and / or ceiling support, in particular in the form of a rod, is arranged, and one end of the inclined ridge and / or ceiling support can be attached to or in the area of ​​the end of the base element 5 and the other end of the support can be attached directly to the ridge and / or the ceiling 2, in particular by means of leg anchoring to the ridge and / or the ceiling 2.

[0027] The support structure can be attached directly to the building itself (e.g., bolted) or secured at intervals using extendable poles. Both the main securing element and the support elements can be extended and retracted as needed.

[0028] The side clamping device 1000 therefore has at least one further holding element 6, which is arranged in a vertical direction above or below the holding element and is arranged in the same way as the holding element 6 on the base element 5 and / or on the side wall of the building 1.

[0029] The Figure 1 It can also be deduced that the base element 5 and / or the retaining element 6 and / or the further retaining element 6 can be detachably fastened directly to the roof ridge and / or the roof covering 2 and / or a side wall with fasteners such as bolts and screws, so that a scaffold-free assembly and thus also a scaffold-free securing of a person is possible.

[0030] The securing element 3 is a rope, chain, strap or the like, in particular wherein the securing element 3 is tensionable and / or not rigid and at least one of the retaining elements 6 includes and / or forms at least a leg anchor.

[0031] The lengths of the base element 5 and / or at least the holding elements 6 and / or at least the rod elements 4 are variable.

[0032] The Figure 1 This shows that the rod-shaped retaining element 6 and / or the base element 5 has a rod extension which can be slid in and out of a rod base to effect the change in length. This also applies to the retaining element 4 in this case.

[0033] To secure the person, a safety lock 7 is movable along the course of the ridge and / or ceiling 2 and thus along the horizontal direction H, around the safety element 3, to which the person to be secured attaches himself, in particular by means of a carabiner.

[0034] The side-tensioning device 1000 shown for securing, in particular for securing without scaffolding, a person against falls from a height on a building 1 comprises at least one base element 5, wherein the base element 5 is designed in the form of a rod, and wherein one end of a securing element 3, such as a strap, chain or rope, can be detachably anchored to the rod element 4, and further wherein the base element 5 is designed to project with one end by a height V in the vertical direction beyond a roof ridge and / or a roof covering 2, so that the securing element 3 can be guided around this end of the base element 5 and anchored to the base element 5 along the vertical side wall, in particular for example at least one rod-shaped support element, which is designed and intended to be arranged with one end, preferably directly, on the side wall of the building 1 and with another end on the base element 5.so that a substantially vertical course of the base element 5 along the side wall is ensured even under load.

[0035] Unlike the Figure 1 shows Figure 2 , that at least one stiffening leg 8 is arranged between the rod element 4 and the base element 5 in a horizontal and / or vertical direction. This can be achieved by screwing the stiffening leg 8 into the rod element 4 and the base element 5 on both sides. Alternatively, only one end of the stiffening element 8, which is particularly tubular, can be arranged on the rod element 4 and / or the base element 5.

[0036] This shows Figure 2 a device 100 for securing, in particular for securing without scaffolding, a person against falling from a height on a building 1 and a side tensioning device 1000 for securing, in particular for securing without scaffolding, a person against falling from a height on a building 1.

[0037] In the Figure 2It is apparent that the device 100 comprises a securing element 3 which can be tensioned at least partially along a roof ridge or roof 2 and thus essentially in a horizontal direction H, and at least one side tensioning device 1000 for tensioning and fastening the securing element 3 to a side wall and / or to an end of the roof ridge and / or the roof 2 of a building 1, wherein the securing element 3 can be fastened at at least one end to the side wall and / or the roof ridge and / or the roof 2 with the side tensioning device 1000, and a further end of the securing element 3 can be fastened either to an element other than a side tensioning device 1000 or to a further side tensioning device 1000 on the opposite side of the roof ridge and / or the roof 2 and / or to an element of the device itself.

[0038] This side-tensioning device 1000 has at least one base element 5, wherein the base element 5 is designed in the form of a rod, and wherein one end of the securing element 3 can be detachably anchored to the base element 5, and further wherein the base element 5 projects with one end by a height V in the vertical direction above the roof ridge and / or the roof covering 2 and / or above a scaffold, so that the securing element 3 can be guided around this end of the base element 5 and anchored to the base element 5 along the vertical side wall, in particular wherein at least one rod-shaped support element, which is designed and provided for this purpose, is arranged with one end, preferably directly, on the side wall of the building 1 and with another end on the base element 5, so that a substantially vertical course of the base element 5 along the side wall is ensured even under load.

[0039] However, the respective end of the securing element 3 can also be deflected around an outer end of the base element 5 and fastened to the side wall or to a fastening element of the base element 5. For this purpose, the base element 5 itself can have fastening means (screws, bolts, ratchet fasteners, plug fasteners, etc.). At least one stop element, for example an eyelet, can be arranged at the deflected end, i.e., at the outer end of the base element 5.

[0040] Furthermore, it is evident that, in order to support the end of the base element 5 projecting upwards above the ridge and / or the ceiling 2 of the building 1 against tensile forces in the horizontal and / or vertical direction H, a ridge and / or ceiling support, in particular in the form of, for example, a rod, is arranged, and that one end of the inclined ridge and / or ceiling support can be attached to or in the area of ​​the end of the base element 5 and the other end of the support can be attached directly to the ridge and / or the ceiling 2, in particular by means of leg anchoring to the ridge and / or the ceiling 2.

[0041] The support structure can be attached directly to the building itself (e.g., bolted) or secured at intervals using extendable poles. Both the main securing element and the support elements can be extended and retracted as needed.

[0042] The side clamping device 1000 therefore has at least one further holding element 6, which is arranged in a vertical direction above or below the holding element and is arranged in the same way as the holding element 6 on the base element 5 and / or on the side wall of the building 1.

[0043] The Figure 2It can also be deduced that the base element 5 and / or the support element 6 and / or the further support element 6 can be detachably fastened directly to the roof ridge and / or the roof covering 2 and / or a side wall using fasteners such as bolts, screws, etc., so that scaffold-free assembly and thus also scaffold-free securing of a person is possible. The device can be attached to facade scaffolding by screwing or clamping.

[0044] The securing element 3 can be a rope, chain, strap, or the like, in particular wherein the securing element 3 is tensionable and / or not rigid. At least one of the retaining elements 6 forms and / or includes at least one leg anchor.

[0045] The lengths of the base element 5 and / or at least the holding elements 6 and / or at least the rod elements 4 are (thereby) variable.

[0046] The Figure 2This shows that the rod-shaped retaining element 6 and / or the base element 5 has a rod extension which can be slid in and out of a rod base to accommodate changes in length. This also applies to the retaining element 4+8 in this case.

[0047] To secure the person, a safety lock 7 is movable along the course of the ridge and / or ceiling 2 and thus along the horizontal direction H, around the safety element 3, to which the person to be secured attaches himself, in particular by means of a carabiner.

[0048] The side-tensioning device 1000 shown for securing, in particular for securing without scaffolding, a person against falls from a height on a building 1 comprises at least one base element 5, wherein the base element 5 is designed in the form of a rod, and wherein one end of a securing element 3, such as a strap, chain or rope, can be detachably anchored to the base element 5, and further wherein the base element 5 is designed to project with one end by a height V in the vertical direction above a roof ridge and / or a roof covering 2, so that the securing element 3 can be guided around this end of the base element 5 and anchored to the base element 5 along the vertical side wall, in particular for example at least one rod-shaped support element, which is designed and intended to be arranged with one end, preferably directly, on the side wall of the building 1 and with another end on the base element 5.so that a substantially vertical course of the base element 5 along the side wall is ensured even under load.

[0049] In the Figure 3 Another embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0050] In contrast to the previous figures, a deflection to a side wall by means of the rod-shaped support element has been omitted.

[0051] Instead, it can be seen that the base element 5 is positioned on top and from above on the outer surface of the roof itself.

[0052] Element 5 therefore ends at the roof surface, e.g., the outer roof surface. This is based, among other things, on the understanding that such a device can be produced more cost-effectively and still effectively fulfills its purpose of providing the most stable fall protection possible.
