[0001] Construction aids and setting procedures

[0002] Description

[0003] The invention relates to a construction aid and a method for adjusting a construction aid.

[0004] A construction aid is a tool used for the construction of structures. Examples of structures include buildings, bridges, or walls. Cranes, scaffolding, and formwork are used to erect such structures. With such construction aids, there may be a risk that people and objects such as tools, bolts, screws, debris, etc. could fall from great heights. To prevent these risks, construction aids may be equipped with protective devices to prevent falling. Protective devices can include railings, gratings, nets, walls, etc.

[0005] A formwork is a mold. Fresh concrete can be poured into the mold. After the concrete has hardened, the formwork can usually be removed. This can be used to create components for buildings or bridges, for example. Examples of components include walls, ceilings, shafts, and columns.

[0006] A formwork can be formed from a plurality of formwork panels. A formwork panel is a panel made of wood or plastic, for example. A formwork panel can be flat and / or curved at least in certain areas. Supporting elements, such as a frame, longitudinal beams, and / or cross beams, can be present on the back of the panel. The supporting elements can be made of wood or steel, for example. A front side of the formwork panel contacts and limits the poured concrete, thus forming the surface of the component.

[0007] A formwork panel frame does not generally protrude from the front of the panel. A formwork panel can have one or more anchor holes. An anchor can be inserted through opposing anchor holes in two opposing formwork panels. The ends of an anchor can be secured in such a way that the anchor can then no longer be pulled out of the anchor holes. The two ends of an anchor can be attached to the backs of formwork panels, for example, in such a way that an anchor can absorb at least compressive forces, and preferably also tensile forces. Two opposing formwork panels can be connected to one another using one or more anchors.

[0008] An example of a construction aid is scaffolding. Scaffolding can be attached to an already completed section of a building. A platform can be attached to the scaffolding and can be moved to a desired height. The platform can be walkable. One or more formwork panels can be attached to or on the platform, or independently of the platform, to form a formwork. A protective device, such as a railing, can be attached to the platform to prevent falling.

[0009] An example of scaffolding is a climbing scaffold. Part of the climbing scaffold, for example a climbing rail, can be moved upwards and then held in place, in particular by means of at least one anchoring part such as a climbing shoe. After completion of a concreting section, at least part of the construction aid, in particular the entire construction aid, can be pushed upwards in order to prepare for a subsequent concreting section. Likewise, at least part of the construction aid, in particular the entire construction aid, can be lifted upwards or moved in some other way. The pushing, lifting or moving is carried out using a suitable pushing device, for example hydraulically driven. In this way, no crane is required. It is also possible to climb downwards, for example to demolish at least part of a building or component.Here, downward sliding and / or gravity-induced movement can occur. A climbing frame with additional components attached to it, such as a platform, formwork panel, and / or safety device, is called a climbing system.

[0010] An anchoring component, such as a climbing shoe, is used to hold the scaffolding or climbing frame to the manufactured component. An anchoring component is attached to a manufactured concrete component, typically to a completed concreting section, preferably using at least one screw. A climbing shoe enables the upward movement of the construction aid. For this purpose, a climbing shoe typically contains a mechanism that enables the construction aid to be moved upwards and / or that enables the construction aid to be held in different positions. A climbing shoe then holds the construction aid in the upwardly pushed position after it has been moved. Typically, each climbing rail is held by at least two climbing shoes arranged at different heights.If a climbing shoe is no longer needed, for example because the lowest climbing shoe is positioned too low to hold the construction aid that has been moved upwards, it is removed from the finished component and reattached, especially at a higher position. This allows the climbing shoe to be used for a subsequent concreting section.

[0011] The above-mentioned features, effects and definitions may be combined individually or in a plurality with the claimed and described subject-matter.

[0012] An anchoring component, such as a climbing shoe, is attached to the manufactured component at a fastening point, typically using a climbing cone. Fastening points are incorporated during component manufacture and cast into the concrete. A fastening section of the anchoring component can then be bolted to the fastening point and / or the component. The precise positioning of the climbing cone in the desired horizontal position is essential for the horizontal arrangement of the platform. A deviation in the lateral position of two cones leads to constraints and to difficult-to-predict and potentially dangerous loads and / or deformations of the anchoring components, the construction aid, and / or the manufactured component.

[0013] The precise positioning of the climbing cone in the desired horizontal position is also essential for guided climbing. A deviation in the lateral position of two cones leads to an undesirable tilted suspension of the climbing rail. The attachment points on the component are then no longer aligned, unlike the attachment points on the construction aid. Climbing can result in constraints and the described loads and / or deformations.

[0014] However, the exact positioning of the climbing cones in the desired horizontal position is hardly feasible in practice due to the required accuracy in the millimeter range and the unavoidable inaccuracies in the concreting process. Therefore, it is common practice to subsequently correct the position of a climbing cone. To do this, the cone is removed, the opening is filled with a filler, and then, after the filler has hardened, a new hole is drilled. This is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Another solution is to design components such as anchoring parts or construction aids with generous clearance. However, this leads to significant deviations from the target positions and thus reduces the overall quality of the manufactured components.

[0015] Some anchoring components, such as climbing shoes, which are designed to rest on a substantially horizontal component, may have a slotted hole. In this case, the horizontal position can be slightly adjusted by loosening the screw connection on the component, moving the climbing shoe relative to the screw using a slotted hole, and retightening the screw. However, this is not possible with pure wall mounting, as central load transfer is essential here, otherwise twisting would occur.

[0016] For anchoring components designed for attachment to a primarily vertical component, another solution is also possible. Two climbing cones can be installed at each attachment point, to which a rail is attached. Horizontal movement can then occur along this rail to ensure the alignment of the attachment points. However, doubling the number of climbing cones significantly increases the effort and costs. Furthermore, the force transfer in the horizontal direction is unclear.

[0017] The object of the invention is to provide an improved construction aid and a method for adjusting a construction aid. In particular, the aforementioned disadvantages are to be at least partially remedied.

[0018] To achieve this objective, a construction aid according to claim 1 and a method for adjusting a construction aid according to the independent claim are provided. Advantageous embodiments are specified in the subclaims.

[0019] To achieve this objective, a construction aid is provided, comprising a vertical part for vertical attachment to a manufactured component, and a horizontal part for forming a platform. The vertical part is laterally movable in relation to the horizontal part. The platform construction predetermines the distance between the horizontal parts. By setting a desired lateral position of the vertical part in relation to the horizontal part, the invention enables the horizontal parts to be positioned precisely, even if the distance between the vertical parts does not exactly match the distance between the horizontal parts due to deviations. Installation under constraints is avoided. Corrections to the horizontal position of climbing cones are no longer necessary. When pushing up or down, friction is reduced, so that less force is required for the desired movement. In some cases, smaller hydraulics may be sufficient.

[0020] According to the invention, the lateral movement occurs between the horizontal and vertical parts. The components of the anchoring part, e.g., the climbing shoe, remain in the same position relative to one another, at least in the lateral direction. This allows the vertical forces to be applied centrally to the anchoring part, even in the event of deviations. No torque is exerted on a screw axis of the anchoring part, and the anchoring part does not twist. Any torque that occurs is absorbed by the climbing rail. In the case of a climbing shoe, the guidance of the vertical part, e.g., a climbing rail, is also not influenced by the climbing shoe's guide claws during movement between the vertical and horizontal parts.

[0021] Directional specifications generally refer to a viewing direction of the surface of the manufactured component, in particular along a surface normal. A lateral movement therefore means a movement along a horizontal direction essentially parallel to the surface (direction of movement). The lateral movement is preferably a lateral displacement, in particular a linear displacement.

[0022] The vertical part is laterally movable in relation to the horizontal part. This means a relative movement between the vertical part and the horizontal part. Accordingly, the horizontal part is laterally movable in relation to the vertical part. During operation, the platform specifies the typically uniform distances between the attachment points. Deviations in the attachment points on the manufactured component mean that the vertical part attached or to be attached to the component must be moved laterally relative to the horizontal part. However, if there is no platform on the horizontal part yet, the horizontal part is moved in relation to the vertical part. A vertical part is an elongated part that is designed to be used in a vertical orientation as intended. The vertical part is used to be attached to the manufactured component in the vertical direction. In particular, the attachment takes place parallel to the surface of the component.The vertical part therefore does not necessarily have to be vertically aligned when attached, but can also be inclined in the case of inclined walls, for example, at an angle of ± 30° to the vertical. This angle then corresponds to the deviation of an angle measured between the vertical part and the horizontal part from a right angle. Perpendicular to any inclination direction of the wall of the manufactured component, the vertical part is typically arranged in a straight line. In particular, the vertical part has a longitudinal extension that is at least a factor of 5 greater than the transverse extension of the vertical part.

[0023] The vertical part is part of the construction aid and serves as a fastening element for the other components of the construction aid, in particular for the horizontal part, a platform, and / or formwork. In particular, the vertical part or a part connected thereto is designed to be held to the component by means of anchoring elements such as climbing shoes and / or to be displaced upwards in a vertical direction. The vertical part can be or comprise a climbing rail. The vertical part comprises, in particular, a support or a profile and can therefore also be referred to as a vertical profile.

[0024] The vertical part can be attached to the component, for example, with two anchoring parts. For example, a climbing shoe can serve as the anchoring part. A climbing shoe can have a fastening section for attaching to a manufactured concrete component and two guide claws for gripping the vertical part. The climbing shoe can further have a latch device for holding the vertical part. The vertical part can be moved upward relative to the climbing shoe, guided by the guide claws, thus enabling the construction aid to climb.

[0025] The vertical part can be a climbing rail head or comprise one. A climbing rail head is an upper end part for a climbing rail that can be permanently connected to the climbing rail. In particular, a climbing rail head has at least a similar profile to the climbing rail and / or serves as an upward extension of the climbing rail. This allows the climbing rail head to be held by a climbing shoe and / or guided movement relative to the climbing shoe, just like with the climbing rail. If the vertical part is a climbing rail head, it serves for indirect attachment to the manufactured component, since the climbing rail is attached directly to the component and the climbing rail head is attached directly to the climbing rail. The vertical part can comprise the climbing rail head and the climbing rail.

[0026] At least two anchoring parts are arranged, in particular, one above the other. An upper anchoring part can be arranged approximately at the level of the horizontal part and / or configured to transmit horizontal forces. A lower anchoring part can be arranged below the upper anchoring part and / or configured at least primarily to transmit vertical forces. For this purpose, a lower anchoring part can, for example, have a latch device. A vertical distance between the anchoring parts can be greater than 1 m, in particular 1.5 m, and / or less than 5 m, in particular 3.5 m.

[0027] A horizontal part is an elongated part that is designed to be used in a horizontal orientation as intended. The horizontal part serves to form a platform. The horizontal part can be part of a platform and / or serve to rest on and / or support a platform. The horizontal part can be a platform support, i.e. a support on which a platform covering such as panels or boards can be arranged directly or indirectly. The horizontal part can be a T-beam, for example. In addition, cross beams can be arranged, which can be located between the horizontal part and the platform covering or beneath the horizontal part and / or run perpendicular to the horizontal part. In one embodiment, the construction aid comprises the platform, a railing and / or formwork. The horizontal part protrudes in particular from the wall of the manufactured component.It may have an extension perpendicular to the wall that corresponds at most to the extension of the stage measured perpendicular to the wall.

[0028] A platform is a substantially horizontally arranged platform on which people can move to carry out work. Examples include working platforms, which constitute the main platforms for work and enable, for example, the adjustment and removal of formwork, concreting platforms, which are arranged higher than working platforms and are used for concreting, and / or follow-up platforms, which are arranged lower than working platforms and are used, for example, for removing anchors and / or for finishing work. Intermediate platforms may be present. Platforms can be arranged across the entire width of a constructed wall and / or all the way around. In one embodiment, the construction aid comprises a platform formed by means of the horizontal part.

[0029] The horizontal part may further support and / or comprise a railing and / or a protective device to protect against falling objects.

[0030] In particular, the horizontal section is or can be attached to the vertical section. In particular, the vertical section is designed to bear the weight of the horizontal section, objects attached to or located on it, the stage, and / or persons, as well as any loads that may occur during use, such as wind loads.

[0031] In one embodiment, the vertical part has a support element, in particular a plurality of spaced-apart support elements, preferably support elements arranged at regular intervals. A support element can be a bolt or a strut. A support element is designed to at least partially transfer a weight force of the construction aid to an anchoring part. A support element is in particular oriented substantially horizontally. In particular, the vertical part is designed to be gripped by a guide claw. In one embodiment, the vertical part has two grip sections, each of which can be gripped by a guide claw. The grip sections can be arranged parallel, in particular in one plane. A grip section can be provided by a belt or part of a belt of a steel girder. The construction aid can typically be pushed upwards and held there.In particular, the grip is made in such a way that any lateral movement is also blocked.

[0032] In one embodiment, the construction aid further comprises a diagonal part for connecting the vertical part and the horizontal part to one another. Diagonal means oblique and is not limited to a specific angle. Typically, the diagonal part has an angle between 30° and 60° to the vertical, preferably between 40° and 50°. The connection is typically spaced from a fastening area in which the horizontal part and the vertical part are fastened to one another. The diagonal part typically serves to transfer compressive forces and, in particular, to introduce forces from the platform into the vertical part. The diagonal part can, in particular, be fastened to the area of ​​the horizontal part facing away from the wall and / or to the lower area of ​​the vertical part.

[0033] In one embodiment, lateral movement of at least 10 mm, in particular at least 30 mm and / or at most 140 mm, in particular at most 100 mm, and in one example at most 84 mm is possible. In one embodiment, lateral movement of at least 10 mm, in particular at least 30 mm and / or at most 80 mm, in particular at most 60 mm, is possible. In particular, lateral movement of approximately 40 mm is possible. This enables compensation for all commonly occurring deviations with a simple and cost-effective solution. Lateral movement beyond the specified range is prevented, in particular, by means of suitable stops.

[0034] In one embodiment, the vertical part can be fixed relative to the horizontal part against lateral movement and / or in different positions. In particular, this refers to different horizontal positions between which the lateral movement can occur. In particular, this can be achieved by securing it against unplanned lateral displacement. Fixing means blocking further lateral relative movement between the vertical part and the horizontal part. In particular, this refers to a positive fixation.

[0035] In one embodiment, the vertical part can be attached to the horizontal part in a direction perpendicular to the direction of movement. In one embodiment, the vertical part can be attached to the horizontal part in all directions perpendicular to the direction of movement.

[0036] In one embodiment, the horizontal part can be fastened to the vertical part in a form-fitting manner in all directions, in particular using a screw or a fastening means. All features mentioned with regard to the screw apply analogously to a fastening means. This means that any relative displacement (translation) between the two parts is prevented by a form-fitting manner. In this way, the horizontal part can be held particularly securely. In particular, rotation about one or more axes of rotation is also prevented. In particular, the horizontal part can be fastened to the vertical part with exactly one screw, with a hollow shaft surrounding the screw if necessary. The screw is aligned in particular along the direction of movement. This allows an angle to be set between the vertical part and the horizontal part in order to produce non-vertical walls. The screw ensures a form-fitting connection in both directions perpendicular to the direction of movement.Spacers, in particular, are used to ensure positive locking along the direction of movement. The positive fastening can be implemented in such a way that rotation about at least one axis is possible. The at least one axis can include a longitudinal axis of the fastening element, e.g., the screw.

[0037] In one embodiment, a plurality of spacers are provided. Each spacer can be arranged optionally on a left or right side in order to fix the vertical part to the horizontal part in a desired position against lateral movement with respect to the horizontal part. A spacer can be plate-shaped and also referred to as a lining plate. In one embodiment, spacers of different thicknesses are provided. In an alternative or supplementary embodiment, spacers of the same thickness are provided. In one embodiment, a plurality of spacers of the same, in particular thin, thickness are provided. For example, two thicker spacers, for example with a thickness of approximately 10 mm, and four thinner spacers, for example with a thickness between 1 mm and 4 mm, can be provided.By using suitable combinations of spacers, virtually any position of the vertical part relative to the horizontal part can be adjusted and fixed. A spacer can have a sloped surface on at least one side to facilitate insertion. In particular, a spacer can be removed without loosening the fastening of the vertical part relative to the horizontal part.

[0038] In particular, there are two gaps between the vertical part and the horizontal part along the direction of movement: a right gap and a left gap. The vertical part is preferably in two parts, and at least a region of the horizontal part is arranged between the two parts of the vertical part, so that there is a gap between each part of the vertical part and the horizontal part. The vertical part can be moved into the desired position relative to the horizontal part. One or more spacers can then be arranged in one or both gaps. If the vertical part is pushed all the way to the right, for example, the right gap may no longer be there, making it impossible to move the vertical part further to the right, and the left gap can have its maximum size.Suitable spacers can then be placed in the left-hand gap to prevent the vertical part from shifting to the left and to secure the vertical part in the desired position. If a position between the far right and far left positions is desired, spacers can be placed in both gaps.

[0039] In one embodiment, a securing part is provided with which the spacers arranged on the right and / or left side can be held in position. In particular, this means a positive holding, so that unplanned removal of the spacers is reliably prevented. The securing part can, for example, be a securing bolt. The securing bolt can be arranged parallel to the direction of movement. The spacers can have a recess with which they can be pushed onto securing bolts. Alternatively or additionally, the spacers can have through holes and / or the securing bolt can be removable in the axial direction, so that the spacers are held positively in all directions perpendicular to the axis of the securing bolt. The securing bolt can have a handle for manual handling and / or be secured with a securing split pin.

[0040] In one embodiment, a guide element is provided that enables a guided movement of the vertical part relative to the horizontal part. This allows the lateral movement to be guided. In particular, the guide element or at least one guide surface or guide edge of the guide element is aligned along the direction of movement. In particular, a further element is provided on the vertical part and / or the horizontal part, which contacts the guide element and is movable relative to it, thus enabling the guided movement.

[0041] There may be a through-opening in the horizontal part and / or in the vertical part, and the guide element can extend through the at least one through-opening, thereby enabling a guided relative movement between the vertical part and the horizontal part. The guide element can be part of the vertical part or the horizontal part. In particular, however, the guide element is a separate component, and respective through-openings for the guide element are present in both the vertical part and the horizontal part. The guide element is thus movable in the vertical part as well as in the horizontal part. In particular, the guide element is a separate part from the securing bolt. The guide element can, for example, be a bolt. The guide element or bolt can be designed as a hollow shaft to allow a smaller bolt to be passed through.

[0042] In one embodiment, the guide element is secured by two stops, particularly against axial displacement beyond the respective outer positions. Axial displacement refers to displacement along the lateral direction of movement. A first stop can be manufactured integrally with the guide element. A second, for example, disc-shaped stop can be firmly connected to the guide element, for example by soldering or welding. In one embodiment, the guide element is secured in its position by two stops. The guide element cannot therefore fall out of position or become lost.

[0043] The guide element can have a length greater than 30 mm, in particular greater than 45 mm, and / or less than 100 mm, in particular less than 75 mm. In one embodiment, the length is approximately 60 mm. This allows for a particularly compact design while still providing sufficient mobility for most applications.

[0044] In one embodiment, the guide element and one of the vertical part and the horizontal part are configured such that rotation of the guide element leads to lateral movement of the one of the vertical part and the horizontal part relative to the guide element. In particular, the guide element is elongated and the rotation is a rotation about the longitudinal axis of the guide element. For example, the guide element is a screw or a bolt. For example, the guide element and the vertical part or the horizontal part have a thread which interact accordingly. Instead of a thread, one of the interacting parts can also simply have shaped elements matched to the thread. In this way, the displacement between the horizontal part and the vertical part can take place particularly easily and without additional parts. In one embodiment, the guide element has a recess in the axially central region.The recess is particularly not present in the end regions of the guide element. In particular, edges or surfaces in the end regions of the guide element that delimit the recess serve as stops. The recess defines the range of movement. In particular, through openings in the horizontal part and / or in the vertical part are shaped such that they can be moved in the region provided with the recess, but not in the region without a recess. In this way, the guide element is held captively and lateral movement is limited. This is made possible by this design with minimal space requirements, since no part protrudes beyond the guide element and the end regions without the recess require a maximum of a few millimeters in length in the axial direction. This is particularly advantageous due to the reduced space required by the vertical part.In particular, the guide element is captively attached to the horizontal part in this way. In particular, the guide element moves together with the vertical part during the movement according to the invention.

[0045] The recess can be shaped like a circular segment, especially if the guide element has a circular outer cross-section. Instead of a circular arc, a chord then delimits the outer cross-section in the area of ​​the recess. Such a recess can also be referred to as a lead-in.

[0046] In one embodiment, the guide element is designed as a hollow shaft. In particular, a screw is arranged inside the guide element. The screw runs longitudinally through the hollow shaft. The screw serves to fasten the horizontal part to the vertical part. The screw is supported by the guide element. The screw has, in particular, a head located on one end face of the guide element. The screw is secured, in particular, with a nut located on the opposite end face of the guide element. This enables particularly secure fastening.

[0047] In one embodiment, the vertical part has two side walls. In particular, a region of the horizontal part is located between the side walls of the vertical part. A side wall is a laterally arranged wall part. The side wall can laterally delimit the vertical part, at least in part. For example, a flange of a steel profile can represent the side wall. In this way, the region of the horizontal part is laterally movable between the two side walls. In particular, the two side walls serve as stops and thus limit the relative movement. In this way, the movement can be limited particularly reliably.

[0048] In one embodiment, the construction aid is designed to accommodate a pushing mechanism by means of which pressure can be exerted on the horizontal part or the vertical part in order to cause the vertical part to move laterally relative to the horizontal part. The pushing mechanism is a separate part that can be accommodated by the construction aid. The construction aid can comprise the pushing mechanism. The pushing mechanism is only required when it is to be used. Typically, only one pushing mechanism is necessary for the entire construction aid. A separate aspect of the invention is a system comprising a plurality of construction aids, in particular according to the invention, and only one pushing mechanism or at least a number of pushing mechanisms that is fewer than the number of construction aids. The pushing mechanism can be used with any of the construction aids.

[0049] In other words, a force can be exerted by the vertical part or the horizontal part on the other part in order to move the other part relative to the vertical part or the horizontal part. In particular, the pushing mechanism has a movable pushing element for this purpose. Basically, the pushing mechanism serves to overcome friction that occurs when the vertical part is pushed. In particular, when a stage and / or other structures are already attached, friction occurs between the horizontal part and the vertical part during the relative movement according to the invention, which can be easily overcome in this way. In this way, the relative movement can take place particularly easily. In particular, it is made possible for the relative movement to also take place under load, e.g. when the stage is in place. In this way, the position can be subsequently corrected as soon as a deviation from the target position is apparent.

[0050] In one embodiment, a height adjustment device for a climbing shoe can be used as a pressure mechanism for adjusting the height position of a latch device of the climbing shoe relative to a fastening section of the climbing shoe. The construction aid is then configured such that the height adjustment device can be accommodated and, for example, pressure can be exerted on the horizontal or vertical part by means of a screw of the height adjustment device. A height adjustment device has one or more support areas for resting on one or more support surfaces of the climbing shoe.

[0051] In one embodiment, a through-hole is provided in a wall of the vertical part and / or a receptacle for inserting the push mechanism is arranged on the outside of the vertical part in the region of the through-hole. In particular, pressure can be exerted on the horizontal part through the through-hole by means of the push mechanism in order to displace the horizontal part relative to the vertical part.

[0052] The push mechanism is designed to be inserted into the receptacle and to exert pressure on the horizontal part through the through-hole by means of a pressing element. Inserting it into the receptacle means positioning it in such a way that the push mechanism is at least secured against falling down. In particular, the push mechanism is held in the receptacle in such a way that a counterforce resulting from the compressive force on the push element is counteracted. In other words, the receptacle supports the push mechanism in such a way that it cannot be moved counter to the pressing direction. Alternatively, the push mechanism can have a rear gripping element, with which it is possible to grip behind a part of the vertical part for this purpose.

[0053] The push mechanism can comprise a screw that can be screwed into a main body and that acts as a push element, protruding through the through hole and exerting pressure. A screw allows for comparatively easy movement of the vertical part with little effort, thus making it easy to handle. The screw holds the push mechanism firmly in relation to the through hole, preventing it from shifting unintentionally when pressed.

[0054] The receptacle can be U-shaped, for example, to allow easy insertion of the pressing mechanism. The receptacle can be designed such that a space is created in the lateral direction between the receptacle and the outer side of the vertical part, into which space a part of the pressing mechanism can be hooked, thus securing it against lateral displacement. A further aspect of the invention is a method for adjusting a construction aid, in which a vertical part for fastening in a vertical orientation to a manufactured component is moved laterally in relation to a horizontal part to form a platform. This can be done under the pressure of a pressing element. The adjustment is carried out in particular with the aim of compensating for a horizontal positional deviation of a fastening point in the manufactured component. All features, advantages, and effects of the construction aid described above can apply accordingly to the method and vice versa.

[0055] Below, exemplary embodiments of the invention are explained in more detail with reference to the figures. Features of the exemplary embodiments can be combined individually or in multiples with the claimed subject matter, unless otherwise stated. The claimed scope of protection is not limited to the exemplary embodiments.

[0065] Figure 1 shows a construction aid 10 according to the invention in use. The construction aid 10 comprises a vertical part 11, a horizontal part 12, a platform 14 constructed using the horizontal part 12, and a railing 18 attached to the platform and / or the horizontal part 12. The vertical part 11 and the horizontal part are connected to each other at their intersection point. The construction aid 10 further comprises a diagonal 17 that connects sides of the vertical part 11 and the horizontal part 12 projecting away from the intersection point, creating a triangular basic structure.

[0066] The vertical part 11 is fastened in a vertical orientation to a manufactured component 19, here, for example, a concrete wall, by means of an anchoring part 15, namely a climbing shoe 16. The climbing shoe 16 transfers, in particular, horizontal forces of the construction aid 10 to the component 19 and typically no or only minimal vertical forces. Vertical forces of the construction aid 10 are transferred to the component by means of the lower anchoring part 15, which can also be a climbing shoe.

[0067] Figure 2 shows an enlarged detail of the connection between the vertical part 11 and the horizontal part 12, in particular of the construction aid from Figure 1, viewed obliquely from above. A wall element 13 is screwed to the wall and serves as a holder for the climbing shoe 16. The climbing shoe 16 comprises two guide claws 20 which hold and guide the vertical part 11 such that it can be displaced in the vertical direction. In this way, climbing of a climbing formwork can be realized. The vertical part 11 comprises support elements 21 arranged at regular intervals, by means of which a latch and / or latch device of the climbing shoe 16 can hold the vertical part 11. The vertical part 11 is a climbing rail or a climbing rail head and / or comprises two supports arranged opposite one another and / or connected to one another by means of horizontal support elements and / or vertically aligned.

[0068] A lateral relative movement along the direction of movement 25 is possible between the horizontal part 12 and the vertical part 11, in particular parallel to the manufactured surface of the component 19 and / or in the horizontal direction. The movement is possible in particular by approximately 40 mm, for example 20 mm to each side. A guide element 23 in the form of a hollow shaft 24 is provided, which is arranged to be movable relative to the horizontal part 11 and / or the vertical part 12. The guide element 23 enables a guided displacement of the vertical part 12 relative to the horizontal part 11 along the longitudinal axis of the guide element 23. The guide element 23 has a length that extends a few millimeters beyond the distance between the outer surfaces of the supports of the vertical part 11. The guide element 23 is secured against axial displacement beyond the ends by means of two stops in the regions of the guide element 23 near the ends.

[0069] The horizontal part 12 is fastened to the vertical part 11 by means of a screw 22 in such a way that any translational relative movement of the horizontal part 12 with respect to the vertical part 11 is positively blocked in any direction. Likewise, rotation about two axes is blocked. Only rotation about a horizontal axis axially controlled by the screw 22 is possible. A region 31 of the horizontal part 12 is located in the region of the screw 22 between two side walls 30 of the vertical part 11. The screw 12 extends longitudinally through the hollow shaft 24. The side walls are central regions or webs of steel profiles, in particular of ll(UNP) or UPE profiles.

[0070] The position shown of the horizontal part 12 in relation to the vertical part 11 is approximately central. The distance between the area 31 of the horizontal part 12 and the left side wall 30 of the vertical part 11 is approximately the same as the corresponding distance to the right side wall 30. Between the area 31 and the left side wall 30, one or more spacers 26 are located on the left side 27. Between the area 31 and the right side wall 30, one or more spacers 26 are located on the right side 28, the total thickness of which corresponds to the one or more spacers 26 on the left side 27. In this way, relative displacement along the direction of movement 25 in both directions is blocked in a form-fitting manner.

[0071] Figure 3 shows a comparable relative position of vertical part 11 and horizontal part 12 in a top view. It can be seen that in the central position shown, the center line of vertical part 41 and the center line of horizontal part 42 are aligned. Furthermore, it can be seen that, for example, only one spacer 26 is arranged on each side 27, 28. The spacers 26 are held in position by a locking part 29 designed as a bolt.

[0072] Figure 4 shows the same construction aid 10, but here the horizontal part 12 is shifted laterally to the right relative to the vertical part 11. The centerline of the vertical part 41 and the centerline of the horizontal part 42 diverge. In particular, the horizontal part 12 is in its rightmost position relative to the vertical part 11. Only on the right side 27 (corresponding to the side shown on the left in Figure 4) are one or more spacers 26 present. The designations "left" and "right" refer to a viewing direction perpendicular or along the surface normal to the surface of the manufactured component 10 (see Fig. 2). For this reason, the directions shown in Figures 3 to 6 are reversed. Inaccuracies in the position of the anchor point in the manufactured wall can thus be easily compensated. Figure 5 shows a similar top view to Figure 3. A pressure element is also provided.

[0073] 37, which is anchored in the vertical part 11 and presses against the horizontal part 12 from the left to move it to the right. The pressing element 37 is a screw, which, by turning, can easily generate sufficient force to carry out the relative movement. The pressing element is

[0074] Part of a pushing mechanism not shown in Figure 5, which is anchored to the vertical part 11.

[0075] Figure 6 is a sectional view of Figure 5 along the line shown in Figure 5. It is visible that in both walls 32 of the vertical part 11, namely both side walls 30, there is a receptacle 36 for inserting the push mechanism

[0076] 38 is present. Adjacent to the receptacle 36 there is a through hole 35 running along the direction of movement 25. The pressing mechanism 38 comprises a main body 39 and a pressing element 37 in the form of a screw that can be screwed into the main body 39. The main body 39 is supported on the receptacle 36 in such a way that by screwing the screw a force is transmitted from the vertical part 11 to the

[0077] Horizontal part 12. The tip of the screw then presses against the area 31 of the horizontal part 12 and pushes the horizontal part to the right.
