Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a scaffolding panel support member that supports a plate-shaped scaffolding panel in a standing state with respect to a columnar member for scaffolding that constitutes a part of the scaffolding, and a scaffolding provided with the same.

Background Art

[0002] In construction work or repair work of buildings, etc., a scaffolding, which is a temporary structure for performing work at height, is used. The scaffolding includes, for example, a scaffolding temporarily installed in the vertical direction along a building or the like, and a suspended scaffolding temporarily installed in a building where columns cannot be erected from the ground surface such as under the elevated part of a bridge.

[0003] The above-described scaffolding is configured by assembling a plurality of members so that they can be assembled and disassembled. For example, the scaffolding includes a plurality of columnar members that form a framework. In addition, in the scaffolding, a scaffolding panel as a side protection wall may be installed for the purpose of preventing objects such as work tools from falling and soundproofing.

[0004] The scaffold panel is connected to a columnar member that forms the framework of the scaffold by a scaffold panel support member and is supported in a standing state. Conventionally, various installation methods have been considered as methods for installing the scaffold panel.

[0005] For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a method for installing a morning glory device in a temporary scaffold. In the morning glory device disclosed in Patent Document 1, a panel is installed using a connecting member with the vertical pipe of a three-dimensionally constructed temporary scaffold and a frame connected to the connecting member. The frame on which the panel is installed is supported by a diagonal member disposed at a position below the attachment position of the connecting member.

[0006] For example, Patent Document 2 discloses a method for installing a side protective panel for a suspended scaffold. In the method for installing a side protective panel for a suspended scaffold disclosed in Patent Document 2, a part of the side protective panel is fixed to the round pipe at the edge of the suspended scaffold using a swivel clamp, and then the entire side protective panel is supported by connecting and fixing the end of a single-pipe strip to the reinforcing frame of the side protective panel. In this way, the side protective panel for the suspended scaffold is installed on the suspended scaffold. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]

[0007] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Publication No. 2015-48670 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 8-184179 [Overview of the project] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]

[0008] By the way, when installing scaffolding panels as disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, scaffolding panel support members fixed to columnar members that form the framework of the scaffolding are used to support the scaffolding panels.

[0009] However, when using the frame disclosed in Patent Document 1 as the scaffolding panel support member, or when using the adjustable clamp disclosed in Patent Document 2 as the scaffolding panel support member, the worker must support the scaffolding panel while positioning it in a location where it can be supported by the scaffolding panel support member.

[0010] Furthermore, suspended scaffolding and the like may not have vertically extending columnar members for supporting the scaffolding panels. Therefore, with panel support structures such as those disclosed in Patent Documents 1 and 2, the installation of scaffolding panels may be restricted depending on the configuration of the scaffolding.

[0011] In response to this, there is a need for a scaffolding panel support member that can be installed even on scaffolding that does not have columnar members extending in the vertical direction, such as the suspended scaffolding mentioned above, and that allows for easy installation of scaffolding panels.

[0012] The object of the present invention is to provide a scaffolding panel support member that allows for easy installation of a plate-shaped scaffolding panel in an upright position on a horizontal columnar member that extends horizontally among a plurality of columnar members for scaffolding that constitute a part of the scaffolding. [Means for solving the problem]

[0013] A scaffolding panel support member according to one embodiment of the present invention is a scaffolding panel support member that supports a plate-shaped scaffolding panel in an upright position on at least one of a plurality of scaffolding columnar members that constitute a part of the scaffolding. The scaffolding panel support member has a support member body which is a columnar member that is long in one direction and has a groove portion that opens upward and extends in one direction so that the lower end of the scaffolding panel can be inserted, and a horizontal columnar member connecting portion which is connected to the support member body and connects the support member body to a horizontal columnar member that extends horizontally among the plurality of scaffolding columnar members (first configuration).

[0014] In the above configuration, a support member body having a groove extending in one direction is connected to a horizontal columnar member extending horizontally among a plurality of scaffolding columnar members via a horizontal columnar member connecting portion. This allows the lower end of the scaffolding panel inserted into the groove of the support member body to be supported by the horizontal columnar member.

[0015] Therefore, workers do not need to hold the scaffolding panels while connecting them to the scaffolding columnar members. This reduces the workload when installing the scaffolding panels.

[0016] Therefore, it is possible to provide a scaffolding panel support member that facilitates the installation of plate-shaped scaffolding panels in an upright position on horizontal columnar members that extend horizontally among a plurality of columnar members for scaffolding that constitute a part of the scaffolding.

[0017] In the scaffolding panel support member having the first configuration described above, the groove portion of the support member body has a bottom portion and a pair of side wall portions extending upward from the bottom portion. The upper end of one of the pair of side wall portions is located below the upper end of the other side wall portion (second configuration).

[0018] This allows workers to easily insert the lower end of the plate-shaped scaffolding panel into the groove of the support member body from the side of the pair of side walls where the upper end is located lower. Therefore, the work of installing the scaffolding panel in an upright position on the scaffolding panel support member can be easily performed.

[0019] In a scaffolding panel support member having the first or second configuration described above, the support member body has longitudinal openings that open toward the one direction at both ends in the groove portion in the one direction (third configuration).

[0020] This prevents the scaffolding panel from interfering with both ends in one direction within the groove when inserting the lower end of the scaffolding panel into the groove of the support member body.

[0021] Furthermore, even if the length of the lower end of the scaffolding panel inserted into the groove is longer than the length of the groove in one direction, the scaffolding panel can still be inserted into the groove.

[0022] Furthermore, after inserting the lower end of the scaffolding panel into the groove, the scaffolding panel can be moved in one direction within the groove.

[0023] Therefore, the scaffolding panel can be easily positioned with respect to the scaffolding panel support member. Thus, operations such as inserting the scaffolding panel into the groove portion in a standing state and positioning the scaffolding panel with respect to the scaffolding panel support member can be easily performed, and the workability in the attachment work of the scaffolding panel can be improved. Moreover, since scaffolding panels of various specifications with different lengths of the scaffolding panel support member can be installed, the versatility of the scaffolding panel support member can be improved.

[0024] In the scaffolding panel support member having any one of the first to third configurations, it further has a column support portion that is connected to the support member main body and supports at least one panel column on which the scaffolding panel is fixed and extends in the vertical direction among the plurality of scaffolding columnar members (fourth configuration).

[0025] Thereby, even when there is no column for supporting the scaffolding panel on the scaffolding, the panel column on which the scaffolding panel is fixed can be supported by the column support portion in the scaffolding panel support member. Therefore, the scaffolding panel can be more reliably supported by the panel column.

[0026] In the scaffolding panel support member having the fourth configuration, the column support portion is connected to at least one of both ends of the support member main body in the one direction (fifth configuration).

[0027] Thereby, the panel column on which the scaffolding panel is fixed can be easily installed at at least one of both ends in the longitudinal direction (one direction) of the support member main body. Therefore, at least one of both ends in the left - right direction of the scaffolding panel can be supported by the panel column. Therefore, the scaffolding panel can be supported more stably.

[0028] In a scaffolding panel support member having any one of the configurations described in the first to fifth, the horizontal columnar member connecting portion is rotatable about the axis of a first horizontal columnar member, which is arranged to extend parallel to one direction among the horizontal columnar members, and the support member body is fixed in an inclined state by the rotation (sixth configuration).

[0029] This allows the scaffolding panel support member to be attached to the first horizontal columnar member in an inclined position such that the groove opens in a direction intersecting the vertical direction, without the need for a special support member to fix the scaffolding panel in an inclined position.

[0030] Therefore, the versatility of the scaffolding panel support member can be improved, and the scaffolding panel can be easily installed even when it is installed at an angle to the vertical.

[0031] In a scaffolding panel support member having any one of the configurations described in the first to sixth, the horizontal columnar member connecting portion is connected to the support member body so as to be movable in the one direction (seventh configuration).

[0032] As a result, the horizontal columnar member connecting portion, which connects the support member body to the horizontal columnar member, is movable in one direction that is longitudinal with respect to the support member body.

[0033] Therefore, in the aforementioned one direction, the position at which the horizontal columnar member connecting portion is connected to the horizontal columnar member can be changed. In other words, the horizontal columnar member connecting portion can be connected to the horizontal columnar member while avoiding positions where the horizontal columnar member connecting portion cannot be attached, such as joints between multiple scaffolding columnar members that constitute part of the scaffolding.

[0034] In a scaffolding panel support member having any one of the configurations described in the first to seventh sections, the support member body has an expandable / contractable portion that can expand and contract in one direction (the eighth configuration).

[0035] This allows for easy adjustment of the length of the support member body in one direction (the longitudinal direction).

[0036] Therefore, the length of the scaffolding panel support member can be easily adjusted to match the length of the horizontal columnar member to which the scaffolding panel support member is attached, and the horizontal length of the area where the scaffolding panel is installed. Consequently, the versatility of the scaffolding panel support member can be improved.

[0037] In the scaffolding panel support member having the eighth configuration described above, the support member body has support column support portions at both ends in the one direction of the support member body, which are connected to the support member body and support at least one of the plurality of columnar scaffolding members that extends vertically and to which the scaffolding panel is fixed (ninth configuration).

[0038] In the above configuration, the support columns are located on both sides of the support member body in one direction (longitudinal direction). This allows the scaffolding panel, which is inserted into the groove of the scaffolding panel support member, to be fixed to the support column supported by the support column on both sides in that one direction.

[0039] Therefore, the scaffolding panels can be installed in a more stable state.

[0040] A scaffolding according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of scaffolding columnar members that constitute a part of the scaffolding, including a horizontal columnar member extending in the horizontal direction, a plurality of plate-shaped scaffolding panels, and a plurality of scaffolding panel support members according to any one of claims 1 to 9 that support the plate-shaped scaffolding panels in an upright position. The plurality of scaffolding panel support members are fixed to the horizontal columnar member in a state aligned in the horizontal direction (10th configuration).

[0041] With the above configuration, multiple scaffolding panel support members are installed horizontally aligned on the horizontal columnar members among the multiple scaffolding columnar members. This allows workers to easily install the scaffolding panels using the multiple scaffolding panel support members.

[0042] In the scaffold having the above-described configuration 10, at least one of the plurality of scaffolding panel support members has an expandable portion of the support member body that can expand and contract in one direction (configuration 11).

[0043] This allows the length of the scaffolding panel support member with an extendable section in one direction (longitudinal direction) to be adjusted to match the horizontal length of the horizontal columnar member and the horizontal length of the area where the scaffolding panels are installed. Therefore, the scaffolding panels can be installed on scaffolding of various sizes. [Effects of the Invention]

[0044] A scaffolding panel support member according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a support member body having a U-shaped cross-section, which is a columnar member that is long in one direction and has a groove portion that opens upward and extends in one direction so as to be able to insert the lower end of a scaffolding panel, and a horizontal columnar member connecting portion that is connected to the support member body and connects the support member body to a horizontal columnar member that extends horizontally among the plurality of scaffolding columnar members.

[0045] This makes it easy to install plate-shaped scaffolding panels in an upright position on horizontal columnar members that extend horizontally, among the multiple columnar members that make up part of the scaffolding. [Brief explanation of the drawing]

[Modes for carrying out the invention]

[0047] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Note that identical or corresponding parts in the drawings are denoted by the same reference numerals, and their descriptions will not be repeated. Furthermore, the dimensions of the components in each drawing do not faithfully represent the actual dimensions of the components or their dimensional ratios.

[0048] In the following description, the thickness direction of the tread portion 111 of the multiple plate-shaped tread units 110 will be referred to as the "vertical direction." However, this definition of direction is not intended to limit the orientation of the scaffolding panel support member according to the present invention when in use. Note that the "vertical direction" includes not only the vertical direction but also directions inclined with respect to the vertical direction.

[0049] Furthermore, in the following explanation, the expressions "fix," "connect," and "attach" (hereinafter referred to as "fixing, etc.") include not only cases where components are directly fixed to each other, but also cases where they are fixed to each other via other components. In other words, in the following explanation, the expressions "fixing, etc." include both direct and indirect fixing of components to each other.

[0050] [Embodiment 1] (Scaffolding configuration) First, with reference to Figure 1, the configuration of the suspended scaffolding 100 having the scaffolding panel support member 1 according to this embodiment 1 will be described. In the following description, for convenience, the suspended scaffolding 100 will be used as a specific example, but there is no intention to limit the scaffolding to which the scaffolding panel support member 1 according to this embodiment 1 is attached to other types of scaffolding.

[0051] Figure 1 is an example of a suspended scaffolding 100 having a scaffolding panel support member 1 according to this embodiment 1, and is a perspective view showing a part of the configuration of the suspended scaffolding 100.

[0052] As shown in Figure 1, the suspended scaffolding 100 includes a plurality of tread units 110, a plurality of scaffolding panels 120, a plurality of scaffolding panel support members 1, and a panel fixing part 130.

[0053] The tread unit 110 includes a tread portion 111, a pair of horizontal frame portions 112, and connecting portions 113. The tread portion 111 is a rectangular plate-shaped member in plan view. The pair of horizontal frame portions 112 are arranged to extend along both sides of the tread portion 111 in the longitudinal direction. The pair of horizontal frame portions 112 are connected to both ends of the tread portion 111 in the longitudinal direction via connecting portions 113 that extend along the longitudinal direction of the tread portion 111. Multiple connecting portions 113 are provided between the longitudinal ends of the tread portion 111 and the horizontal frame portions 112.

[0054] Multiple tread units 110 are connected such that the long sides of the tread sections 111 face each other and the horizontal frame sections 112 are connected and extend horizontally. In other words, the multiple tread units 110 are connected on their long sides so that their longitudinal directions are the same. As a result, the tread sections 111 of the multiple tread units 110 are connected horizontally to form the floor surface 100a of the work area. The horizontal frame sections 112 of the multiple tread units 110 are also connected horizontally to form a horizontal columnar member 100b that extends in one direction. This horizontal columnar member 100b corresponds to the first horizontal columnar member that is arranged to extend in one direction. The horizontal columnar member 100b is a horizontally extending member among the columnar members for the suspended scaffolding 100.

[0055] The horizontal columnar member 100b extends along the floor surface 100a in a plan view. Suspension devices such as wires (not shown) are connected to the horizontal columnar member 100b. As a result, the suspended scaffolding 100 is suspended from the structure being constructed. Therefore, the suspended scaffolding 100 is used in work environments where it is difficult to set up scaffolding on the ground, such as when constructing structures like bridges.

[0056] A scaffolding panel support member 1, described later, is fixed to the horizontal columnar member 100b. Multiple scaffolding panel support members 1 are fixed to the horizontal columnar member 100b in a state where they are aligned in one direction along the horizontal columnar member 100b.

[0057] Although not specifically shown in the diagram, the horizontal frame portions 112 of the tread unit 110 may be connected in a manner that faces each other and is arranged parallel to each other.

[0058] The multiple scaffolding panels 120 are rectangular plate-shaped members in plan view. In the suspended scaffolding 100, the multiple scaffolding panels 120 are arranged parallel to the horizontal columnar member 100b and aligned horizontally. The multiple scaffolding panels 120 are arranged in an upright position so as to extend in the thickness direction of the tread portion 111 of the tread unit 110.

[0059] The scaffolding panel 120 is supported in an upright position by a horizontal columnar member 100b, which will be described later, by a scaffolding panel support member 1 and a panel fixing part 130. Specifically, the lower end of the scaffolding panel 120 is supported by the scaffolding panel support member 1. In addition, one side of the scaffolding panel 120 is fixed to the panel fixing part 130, which will be described later.

[0060] As described above, multiple scaffolding panels 120 are arranged horizontally to form a side protective wall for the suspended scaffolding 100. This side protective wall is attached to the suspended scaffolding 100 to prevent tools and other items used in the work from falling from the suspended scaffolding 100 and to reduce noise generated during construction.

[0061] The scaffolding panel 120 may have a shape other than a rectangle in plan view. The scaffolding panel 120 may have any configuration as long as its lower end can be supported by the scaffolding panel support member 1 described later and it can be fixed by the panel fixing part 130.

[0062] The panel fixing section 130 fixes the scaffolding panel 120 in an upright position. The panel fixing section 130 includes a first panel support 131 (panel support), a second panel support 132, and a fixing device (not shown). The first panel support 131 and the second panel support 132 are supports that support the scaffolding panel 120 in an upright position.

[0063] The first panel support column 131 is a cylindrical member extending in the vertical direction. The lower end of the first panel support column 131 is connected to the support column support portion 40 of the scaffolding panel support member 1, which will be described later. The second panel support column 132 is a cylindrical member extending in the horizontal direction. The second panel support column 132 is connected to the first panel support column 131 in a crossing manner. At least one of the first panel support column 131 and the second panel support column 132 may be connected to other columnar members (not shown) that constitute the suspended scaffolding 100.

[0064] The fixing device is a component for fixing the scaffolding panel 120 to the first panel support 131 or the second panel support 132. The fixing device is, for example, a clamp. The fixing device may be a component with any configuration as long as it has a structure that allows the scaffolding panel 120 to be fixed to the first panel support 131 or the second panel support 132.

[0065] (Configuration of scaffolding panel support member 1) The configuration of the scaffolding panel support member 1 will be described with reference to Figures 2 to 5. Figure 2 is a perspective view of the scaffolding panel support member 1. Figure 3 is a front view of the scaffolding panel support member 1. Figure 4 is a side view of the scaffolding panel support member 1. Figure 5 is a schematic diagram showing the state in which the scaffolding panel 120 is supported by the scaffolding panel support member 1 attached to the horizontal columnar member 110b.

[0066] The scaffolding panel support member 1 is a member that supports the scaffolding panel 120 in an upright position relative to the horizontal columnar member 100b in order to prevent tools and other items from falling from the suspended scaffolding 100 and to reduce noise associated with construction work.

[0067] The scaffolding panel support member 1 is fixed to the horizontal columnar member 100b of the suspended scaffolding 100 and supports the lower end of the scaffolding panel 120 in an upright position. Specifically, the scaffolding panel support member 1 has a support member body 10, a horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20, and a support column portion 40.

[0068] As shown in Figure 2, the support member body 10 is a columnar member with a U-shaped cross-section that is elongated in one direction. More specifically, the support member body 10 has a bottom portion 13 and a pair of side wall portions 11 and 12.

[0069] The bottom portion 13 is a flat plate extending in the aforementioned one direction. The pair of side wall portions 11 and 12 extend parallel to the bottom portion 13 in the thickness direction at a predetermined interval in a direction perpendicular to the aforementioned one direction when viewed from above. In this embodiment, the bottom portion 13 and the pair of side wall portions 11 and 12 are formed as a single unit.

[0070] Furthermore, as shown in Figure 5, the width of the bottom portion 13 is shorter than the length of the connecting portion 113 in the longitudinal direction of the tread portion 111 of the tread unit 110. As a result, when the scaffolding panel support member 1 is attached to the tread unit 110, a gap is created in the longitudinal direction between the support member body 10 and the tread portion 111. This gap allows for the attachment of lifting devices (not shown) to the connecting portion 113.

[0071] The pair of side wall sections 11 and 12 include a first side wall section 11 and a second side wall section 12. As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the upper end of the first side wall section 11 is located lower than the upper end of the second side wall section 12. This allows the lower end of the scaffolding panel 120 to be easily inserted into the groove section 10a from the first side wall section 11 side.

[0072] The first side wall portion 11 has a stepped portion 11a that is bent so that, in a plan view of the bottom portion 13, the upper part is located further inward from the groove portion 10a than the lower part. The lower part of the first side wall portion 11 forms a accommodating space 11b that expands the groove portion 10a, which will be described later, in the width direction.

[0073] The first side wall portion 11 has slits 11c extending in that direction at the lower part of both ends in that direction. These slits 11c function as part of a sliding mechanism 25 that moves the horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20 in that direction, as will be described later.

[0074] The bottom portion 13 and the pair of side wall portions 11 and 12 form the groove portion 10a. That is, the support member body 10 has a groove portion 10a that opens upward and extends in the aforementioned one direction. The groove portion 10a extends in the longitudinal direction of the support member body 10, i.e., in the aforementioned one direction.

[0075] The groove 10a has a shape that allows the lower end of the scaffolding panel 120 to be inserted. That is, the distance between the pair of side wall portions 11 and 12 is greater than the thickness of the scaffolding panel 120. This allows the support member body 10 to support the lower end of the scaffolding panel 120.

[0076] As shown in Figure 2, the groove 10a extends from one end to the other in the longitudinal direction of the support member body 10. That is, the support member body 10 has longitudinal openings 10b at both ends of the groove 10a in the aforementioned direction, each opening toward that direction.

[0077] This prevents the scaffolding panel 120 from interfering with the groove 10a at both ends in the groove 10a in the aforementioned direction when inserting the lower end of the scaffolding panel 120 into the groove 10a of the support member body 10. Furthermore, even if the length of the lower end of the scaffolding panel 120 to be inserted into the groove 10a is longer than the length of the groove 10a in the aforementioned direction, the scaffolding panel 120 can still be inserted into the groove 10a. In addition, after inserting the lower end of the scaffolding panel 120 into the groove 10a, the scaffolding panel 120 can be moved in the aforementioned direction.

[0078] Therefore, the scaffolding panel 120 can be easily positioned relative to the scaffolding panel support member 1. Consequently, the work of inserting the scaffolding panel 120 into the groove 10a in an upright position and the work of positioning the scaffolding panel 120 relative to the scaffolding panel support member 1 can be easily performed. This improves the workability of installing the scaffolding panel 120. Moreover, since scaffolding panels 120 of various standards with different lengths can be installed on the scaffolding panel support member 1, the versatility of the scaffolding panel support member 1 can be improved.

[0079] As shown in Figure 5, which will be described later, the support column 40 supports the lower end of the first panel support column 131 of the panel fixing portion 130. As shown in Figures 2, 4, and 5, the support column 40 is provided on the second side wall portion 12 of the support member body 10. More specifically, as shown in Figure 3, the support column 40 is located on the outer surface of the second side wall portion 12 of the support member body 10 and at one of the ends in the longitudinal direction of the support member body 10. In this embodiment, the support column 40 is provided on the right side of the second side wall portion 12 when the scaffolding panel support member 1 is viewed with the first side wall portion 11 in the foreground and the second side wall portion 12 in the background.

[0080] Here, the outer surface of the second side wall portion 12 of the support member body 10 refers to the surface opposite to the surface located on the groove portion 10a side of the two surfaces in the thickness direction of the second side wall portion 12, and means the surface that is exposed when the scaffolding panel 120 is inserted into the groove portion 10a of the support member body 10.

[0081] The support column portion 40 has a main body mounting portion 41 and a support column connecting portion 42. The main body mounting portion 41 is a cylindrical member connected to the second side wall portion 12 of the support member body 10. The main body mounting portion 41 is connected to the second side wall portion 12 of the support member body 10 such that its axial direction coincides with the vertical direction. In this embodiment, the main body mounting portion 41 is connected to the second side wall portion 12 of the support member body 10 by a bolt 43 (see Figure 4). However, the main body mounting portion 41 may be connected to the second side wall portion 12 by a configuration other than a bolt.

[0082] As shown in Figure 5, the support column connecting portion 42 is a cylindrical member having an outer diameter into which the lower end of the first panel support column 131 can be inserted. The support column connecting portion 42 has an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the first panel support column 131. The support column connecting portion 42 is connected to the upper part of the main body mounting portion 41 such that its axis coincides with the axis of the main body mounting portion 41.

[0083] By inserting the support column connecting portion 42 into the lower end of the cylindrical first panel support column 131, the first panel support column 131 is connected to the support column connecting portion 42.

[0084] In this way, the lower end of the first panel support column 131 can be supported by the support column support portion 40 of the scaffolding panel support member 1. As a result, even if there are no support columns to support the scaffolding panels 120 on the suspended scaffolding 100, the first panel support column 131 can be easily installed using the scaffolding panel support member 1.

[0085] Furthermore, since the support column 40 is located on one side in the longitudinal direction of the support member body 10, the end of the scaffolding panel 120 can be supported by the first panel support column 131. This allows the scaffolding panel 120 to be installed more stably on the suspended scaffolding 100.

[0086] Furthermore, when multiple scaffolding panel support members 1 are arranged horizontally along a horizontal columnar member 100b such that the support column 40s are located on the same side in the longitudinal direction relative to the scaffolding panel support member 1, the support column 40s are positioned at equal intervals in the horizontal direction. As a result, multiple scaffolding panels 120 can be fixed by multiple first panel support columns 131 supported by the support column 40s that are positioned at equal intervals in the horizontal direction.

[0087] As shown in Figure 5, the horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20 is connected to the horizontal columnar member 100b. The scaffolding panel support member 1 is fixed to the horizontal columnar member 100b by the horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20.

[0088] The horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20 has a configuration that allows it to grip the columnar horizontal columnar member 100b on its outer circumferential surface. In other words, the horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20 is a so-called clamp. Therefore, the horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20 can be fixed to the horizontal columnar member 100b at any position rotated around its axis.

[0089] The horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20 is provided on the first side wall portion 11 of the support member body 10 so as to sandwich the horizontal columnar member 100b in the direction normal to the outer surface of the first side wall portion 11. As shown in Figure 2, the horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20 is located on the outer surface of the first side wall portion 11 of the support member body 10 and at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the support member body 10.

[0090] Here, the outer surface of the first side wall portion 11 of the support member body 10 refers to the surface opposite to the surface located on the groove portion 10a side of the two surfaces in the thickness direction of the first side wall portion 11, and means the surface that is exposed when the scaffolding panel 120 is inserted into the groove portion 10a of the support member body 10.

[0091] The horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20 is provided so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction relative to the support member body 10. That is, the scaffolding panel support member 1 has a sliding mechanism 25 that moves the horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20 in the longitudinal direction of the support member body 10.

[0092] As shown in Figures 2 to 4, the slide mechanism 25 includes a slit 11c, a slider 26, and a positioning part 27. The slider 26 is connected to a horizontal columnar member connecting part 20 and is movable within the slit 11c.

[0093] As shown in Figures 4 and 5, the slider 26 comprises a plate-shaped member 26a, a bolt 26b, and a nut 26c. A horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20 is attached to the lower part of the plate-shaped member 26a. The bolt 26b has a shaft portion that can move within the slit 11c and a head portion that is sized not to fall out of the slit 11c. The nut 26c is screwed onto the tip of the shaft portion of the bolt 26b, which passes through the plate-shaped member 26a and the slit 11c.

[0094] As shown in Figures 2, 4, and 5, the lower part of the first side wall 11 forms a housing space 11b capable of accommodating a portion of the slider 26. The housing space 11b is connected to the groove 10a of the support member body 10. The housing space 11b is a space that extends in the longitudinal direction of the support member body 10.

[0095] As shown in Figure 5, a portion of the slider 26 is housed within the storage space 11b, preventing the scaffolding panel 120 inserted into the groove 10a from interfering with the slider 26. This allows the scaffolding panel 120 to be easily inserted into the groove 10a.

[0096] The positioning portion 27 can fix the position of the horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20 relative to the first side wall portion 11 of the support member body 10. The positioning portion 27 is provided on the plate-shaped member 26a of the slider 26 and is configured to fix the relative position between the slider 26 and the first side wall portion 11. The positioning portion 27 is, for example, a screw member that is screwed into a screw hole (not shown) provided in the plate-shaped member 26a of the slider 26 and penetrates the plate-shaped member 26a. In this case, by rotating the screw member which is the positioning portion 27 and pressing its tip against the first side wall portion 11, the positions of the slider 26 and the horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20 relative to the support member body 10 can be fixed.

[0097] With the configuration of the sliding mechanism 25 described above, the position in which the horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20 is connected to the horizontal columnar member 100b can be changed in one direction. Therefore, the horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20 can be connected to the horizontal columnar member 100b while avoiding positions where the horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20 cannot be attached, such as the joints of multiple tread units 110 that constitute part of the scaffolding.

[0098] Therefore, the installation of the scaffolding panel support member 1 becomes easier.

[0099] Based on the above, the scaffolding panel support member 1 according to this embodiment is a member that supports a plate-shaped scaffolding panel 120 in an upright position with respect to at least one of a plurality of horizontal columnar members 100b that constitute a part of the suspended scaffolding 100. The scaffolding panel support member 1 has a groove portion 10a that opens upward and extends in one direction so that the lower end of the scaffolding panel 120 can be inserted, and comprises a support member body 10 which is a columnar member that is long in one direction and has a U-shaped cross-section, and a horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20 which is connected to the support member body 10 and connects the support member body 10 to the horizontal columnar member 100b.

[0100] In the above configuration, the support member body 10, which has a groove extending in one direction, is connected to the horizontal columnar member 100b via the horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20. This allows the lower end of the scaffolding panel 120, which is inserted into the groove 10a of the support member body 10, to be supported by the horizontal columnar member 100b.

[0101] Therefore, workers do not need to connect the scaffolding panel 120 to the horizontal columnar member 100b while holding the scaffolding panel 120. This reduces the workload when installing the scaffolding panel 120.

[0102] Therefore, it is possible to provide a scaffolding panel support member 1 that facilitates the installation of a plate-shaped scaffolding panel 120 in an upright position on a horizontal columnar member 100b that constitutes part of the suspended scaffolding 100.

[0103] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20 is a scaffolding clamp that fastens the columnar members together. Therefore, by loosening the fastening by the horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20, the horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20 can be rotated around its axis relative to the horizontal columnar member 100b, as shown by the solid arrow in Figure 5. Thus, the horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20 can be fixed at any rotation angle around its axis relative to the horizontal columnar member 110b.

[0104] In other words, the horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20 is rotatable about its axis relative to the horizontal columnar member 100b, and the support member body can be fixed in an inclined state by the rotation.

[0105] This allows the scaffolding panel support member 1 to be attached to the first horizontal columnar member in an inclined position such that the groove 10a opens in a direction intersecting the vertical direction, without the need to use a special support member to fix the scaffolding panel 120 in an inclined position.

[0106] Therefore, the versatility of the scaffolding panel support member 1 can be improved, and the scaffolding panel 120 can be easily installed even when it is installed at an angle to the vertical.

[0107] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the support member body 10 is located above the horizontal columnar member 100b.

[0108] This prevents the horizontal columnar member 100b and the horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20 from getting in the way when inserting the scaffolding panel 120 into the groove 10a of the scaffolding panel support member 1. Therefore, the scaffolding panel 120 can be easily inserted into the groove 10a of the scaffolding panel support member 1.

[0109] [Embodiment 2] Figures 6 and 7 show the configuration of the scaffolding panel support member 51 according to Embodiment 2. Figure 6 is a perspective view of the scaffolding panel support member 51. Figure 7 is a front view of the scaffolding panel support member 51.

[0110] The scaffolding panel support member 51 in this second embodiment differs from the scaffolding panel support member 1 of the first embodiment in that the support member body 52 has an extendable portion 80 that can extend and retract to adjust the longitudinal length of the support member body 52. ​​In the following, components that are the same as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals and their descriptions are omitted, and only the parts that differ from the first embodiment will be described.

[0111] The scaffolding panel support member 51 includes a first support member 60, a second support member 70, and an extendable section 80. The first support member 60 and the second support member 70 are arranged with a portion overlapping. As will be described in more detail later, the extendable section 80 is formed by the overlapping arrangement of the first support member 60 and the second support member 70 so that they can move relative to each other.

[0112] The first support member 60 includes a first support member body 61, a horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20, and a support column support portion 40.

[0113] As shown in Figure 6, the first support member body 61 is a columnar member with a U-shaped cross-section that is long in one direction. The first support member body 61 has a shorter length in one direction (longitudinal direction) compared to the support member body 10 of Embodiment 1.

[0114] The first support member body 61 has a bottom portion 62 and a pair of side wall portions 63 and 64. The shape of the bottom portion 62 and the pair of side wall portions 63 and 64 is the same as the shape of the bottom portion 13 and the pair of side wall portions 11 and 12 of the support member body 10 in Embodiment 1, except that the length in one direction is shorter. Therefore, a detailed explanation of the shape of the bottom portion 62 and the pair of side wall portions 63 and 64 is omitted.

[0115] The pair of side wall sections 63 and 64 include a first side wall section 63 and a second side wall section 64. The upper end of the first side wall section 63 is located below the upper end of the second side wall section 64. A horizontal columnar member connecting section 20 is provided at one end of the first side wall section 63 in the aforementioned direction. A support column support section 40 is provided at one end of the second side wall section 64 in the aforementioned direction.

[0116] The first side wall portion 63 has a slit 63c extending in that direction at one end in that direction. The first side wall portion 63 has an extendable slider 65 at the other end in that direction that is movable within the slit 73c of the first side wall portion 73 of the second support member 70, as described later. The extendable slider 65 is, for example, a bolt whose shaft tip is fixed to the first side wall portion 63 and whose head is sized so that it does not come out of the slit 73c.

[0117] The first support member body 61 has a groove 61a that opens upward and extends in the one direction into which a scaffolding panel can be inserted. The groove 61a has longitudinal openings 61b at both ends in the one direction that open toward the one direction.

[0118] The second support member 70 includes a second support member body 71, a horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20, and a support column portion 40.

[0119] As shown in Figure 6, the second support member body 71 is a columnar member with a U-shaped cross-section that is elongated in one direction. The second support member body 71 is shorter in one direction (longitudinal direction) than the support member body 10 of Embodiment 1. The second support member body 71 is configured such that a part of it overlaps a part of the first support member body 61 in the aforementioned one direction.

[0120] Specifically, the second support member body 71 has a bottom (not shown) and a pair of side wall portions 73 and 74. The shape of the bottom and the pair of side wall portions 73 and 74 is the same as the shape of the bottom 13 and the pair of side wall portions 11 and 12 of the support member body 10 in Embodiment 1, except that the length in one direction is shorter. Therefore, a detailed explanation of the shape of the bottom and the pair of side wall portions 73 and 74 is omitted.

[0121] The pair of side wall portions 73, 74 include a first side wall portion 73 and a second side wall portion 74. The upper end of the first side wall portion 73 is located below the upper end of the second side wall portion 74. A horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20 is provided at the other end of the first side wall portion 73 in the aforementioned direction. A support column support portion 40 is provided at the other end of the second side wall portion 74 in the aforementioned direction.

[0122] The second support member body 71 has a groove 71a that opens upward and extends in the one direction into which the scaffolding panel 120 can be inserted. The groove 71a has longitudinal openings 71b at both ends in the one direction that open toward the one direction.

[0123] The distance between the first side wall portion 73 and the second side wall portion 74 of the second support member body 71 is greater than the distance between the first side wall portion 63 and the second side wall portion 64 of the first support member body 61. Therefore, the width dimension of the bottom of the second support member body 71 is greater than the width dimension of the bottom 62 of the first support member body 61. As a result, the second support member body 71 is positioned outward relative to the first support member body 61 when it is arranged to overlap with the first support member body 61 in the aforementioned one direction.

[0124] The first side wall portion 73 has a slit 73c extending in the aforementioned one direction. The slit 73c is formed in the entire region of the first side wall portion 73, excluding both ends in the aforementioned one direction. Within the slit 73c, a slider 26 that supports the horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20 and an extendable slider 65 provided on the first side wall portion 63 of the first support member 60 are arranged to move along the slit 73c.

[0125] The first support member 60 and the second support member 70 are assembled such that a portion of the first support member body 61 and a portion of the second support member body 71 overlap in one direction, and the telescopic slider 65 of the first support member 60 is movable within the slit 73c of the second support member 70. The telescopic slider 65 and the slit 73c constitute a telescopic section 80, which will be described later, that allows the first support member 60 and the second support member 70 to move relative to each other.

[0126] As described above, by combining the first support member 60 and the second support member 70, the horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20 provided on the first side wall portions 63 and 73 is located on both sides of the scaffolding panel support member 51 in the aforementioned one direction. In addition, the support column portion 40 provided on the second side wall portions 64 and 74 is located on both sides of the scaffolding panel support member 51 in the aforementioned one direction.

[0127] Furthermore, as described above, by combining the first support member 60 and the second support member 70, the groove 61a of the first support member 60 and the groove 71a of the second support member 70 constitute the groove 51a of the scaffolding panel support member 51. That is, the groove 51a of the scaffolding panel support member 51 includes a part of the groove 61a of the first support member 60 and a part of the groove 71a of the second support member 70. The lower end of the scaffolding panel 120 is inserted into the groove 51a of the scaffolding panel support member 51.

[0128] The support member body 52 of the scaffolding panel support member 51 in this embodiment is composed of the first support member body 61 and the second support member body 71. The support member body 52 is expandable and contractible in the aforementioned direction by the relative movement of the first support member body 61 and the second support member body 71 in the aforementioned direction by the telescopic portion 80, which will be described later. In other words, the support member body 52 of the scaffolding panel support member 51 has a telescopic portion 80.

[0129] The telescopic section 80 includes a telescopic slider 65 of the first support member 60 and a slit 73c of the second support member 70. As described above, the telescopic slider 65 is positioned within the slit 73c with a part of the first support member body 61 and a part of the second support member body 71 overlapping in the aforementioned direction. As a result, when the first support member 60 and the second support member 70 are moved relative to each other in the aforementioned direction, the telescopic slider 65 moves within the slit 73c. ​​Therefore, separation of the first support member 60 and the second support member 70 can be prevented.

[0130] As described above, the first support member 60 and the second support member 70 can move relative to each other without separating while overlapping, thanks to the telescopic portion 80. This allows the support member body 52, which is composed of the first support member body 61 and the second support member body 71, to be extended and retracted in the aforementioned one direction.

[0131] In this embodiment, the support member body 52 of the scaffolding panel support member 51 has an extendable portion 80 that can extend and retract to adjust the length of the support member body 52 in the longitudinal direction in one direction.

[0132] This allows for easy adjustment of the longitudinal length of the support member body 52 in the scaffolding panel support member 51. Therefore, the length of the scaffolding panel support member 51 can be easily adjusted to match the length of the horizontal columnar member 100b to which the scaffolding panel support member 51 is attached, or the horizontal length of the area where the scaffolding panel 120 is installed. Consequently, the versatility of the support member for supporting the scaffolding panel 120 can be improved.

[0133] The scaffolding panel support member 51 according to this second embodiment has a column support portion 40 on the first support member 60 and a column support portion 40 on the second support member 70, respectively, at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the support member body 52.

[0134] This allows the scaffolding panel 120, which is inserted into the groove 51a of the scaffolding panel support member 51, to be fixed to the support column supported by the support column support 40 on both sides in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, the scaffolding panel 120 can be installed in a more stable state.

[0135] (Embodiment 3) Figure 8 shows a schematic configuration of the suspended scaffolding 200 according to Embodiment 3. Figure 8 shows an example of the configuration of the suspended scaffolding 200 having the scaffolding panel support member 1 according to Embodiment 1 and the scaffolding panel support member 51 according to Embodiment 2. Figure 8 is a perspective view of the suspended scaffolding 200.

[0136] In the following, components similar to those in Embodiments 1 and 2 are denoted by the same reference numerals and their descriptions are omitted. Only components that differ from those in Embodiments 1 and 2 will be described.

[0137] The suspended scaffolding 200 includes a plurality of tread units 110, a plurality of scaffolding panels 120, a scaffolding panel support member 1,51, and a panel fixing part 130. The suspended scaffolding 200 of this embodiment has the same configuration as the suspended scaffolding 100 described in Embodiment 1, except that it has a scaffolding panel support member 1,51.

[0138] The scaffolding panel support member 1.51 is connected to the horizontal columnar member 100b of the suspended scaffolding 200 by the horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20, in a state where it is aligned horizontally along the horizontal columnar member 100b.

[0139] For example, multiple scaffolding panel support members 1 and one scaffolding panel support member 51 may be connected to a horizontal columnar member 100b in a horizontally aligned manner along the horizontal columnar member 100b. Alternatively, multiple scaffolding panel support members 1 and multiple scaffolding panel support members 51 may be connected to a horizontal columnar member 100b in a horizontally aligned manner along the horizontal columnar member 100b.

[0140] The scaffolding panel support member 51 may be located at the end of a plurality of scaffolding panel support members arranged horizontally along the horizontal columnar member 100b. The scaffolding panel support member 1 may be located at the end of a plurality of scaffolding panel support members arranged horizontally along the horizontal columnar member 100b. The scaffolding panel support members 1 and 51 may be arranged alternately.

[0141] As described above, the scaffolding panel support members 1 and 51 are arranged horizontally along the horizontal columnar member 100b, forming a single continuous groove through the grooves 10a and 51a of the scaffolding panel support members 1 and 51. By inserting the lower ends of multiple scaffolding panels 120 into this groove, multiple scaffolding panels 120 can be supported by the scaffolding panel support members 1 and 51.

[0142] As in this embodiment, the suspended scaffolding 200 has not only the scaffolding panel support member 1 of Embodiment 1, but also the scaffolding panel support member 51 of Embodiment 2 which has an extendable portion. This allows the total length of the multiple scaffolding panel support members 1 and 51 arranged along the horizontal columnar member 100b to be adjusted to match the length of the horizontal columnar member 100b or the area in which the scaffolding panels 120 are installed. Therefore, the scaffolding panels 120 can be installed on scaffolding of various sizes.

[0143] In particular, it is preferable that the scaffolding panel support member 51 is located at the end of the horizontal direction among a plurality of scaffolding panel support members arranged horizontally along the horizontal columnar member 100b.

[0144] In the above configuration, the overall length of the multiple scaffolding panel support members 1 and 51 arranged along the horizontal columnar member 100b can be easily adjusted by changing the length of the scaffolding panel support member 51.

[0145] (Embodiment 4) Figure 9 is a perspective view showing the schematic configuration of a suspended scaffolding 300 having a scaffolding panel support member 301 according to Embodiment 4. Figure 10 is a perspective view of the scaffolding panel support member 301. Figure 11 is a side view of the scaffolding panel support member 301.

[0146] The scaffolding panel support member 301 in this embodiment 4 differs from the scaffolding panel support member 1 in embodiment 1 in that it is attached to a plurality of horizontally extending pylon support columns 302 (horizontal columnar members) so as to extend in a direction that intersects them. In the following, components that are the same as those in embodiment 1 are denoted by the same reference numerals and their description is omitted, and only the parts that differ from the configuration of embodiment 1 will be described.

[0147] As shown in Figure 9, the suspended scaffolding 300 includes a plurality of pylon support columns 302 (horizontal columnar members), a plurality of support members (not shown), a plurality of treads 303, a scaffolding panel support member 301, a scaffolding panel 120, and a panel fixing part 130.

[0148] Multiple parent-child support columns 302 are arranged in one horizontal direction so as to be parallel to each other. Adjacent parent-child support columns 302 are connected by multiple columnar support members (not shown). Adjacent parent-child support columns 302 may be fastened to the support members with wedges, or connected with clamps, bolts, etc. Parent-child support columns 302 are the columnar members of the suspended scaffolding 300 that extend in the horizontal direction.

[0149] Multiple treads 303 are supported by multiple support members that connect adjacent parent and child support columns 302. Multiple treads 303 are arranged horizontally. The upper surfaces of the multiple treads 303 form the floor surface 300a of the workspace on the suspended scaffolding 300.

[0150] The suspended scaffolding 300 is installed below the structure to be constructed by suspending the main support columns 302 from the structure using suspension devices such as wires.

[0151] The scaffolding panel support member 301 of this embodiment can be attached so as to extend in a direction intersecting the main support column 302. Except for this point, the scaffolding panel support member 301 has the same configuration as the scaffolding panel support member 1 of Embodiment 1.

[0152] Specifically, as shown in Figures 10 and 11, the scaffolding panel support member 301 has a support member body 10, a horizontal columnar member connecting portion 320, and a support column support portion 40.

[0153] The horizontal columnar member connecting portion 320 is attached to the bottom portion 13 of the support member body 10 via an attachment member 330. The horizontal columnar member connecting portion 320 is positioned to be connectable to the lord support column 302 which extends in a direction intersecting one direction (longitudinal direction) of the support member body 10. Specifically, the horizontal columnar member connecting portion 320 is attached to the bottom portion 13 of the support member body 10 so as to sandwich the lord support column 302 in the vertical direction.

[0154] Furthermore, the horizontal columnar member connecting portion 320 in this embodiment is, like the horizontal columnar member connecting portion 20 in Embodiment 1, for example, a clamp. Also, in the configuration shown in Figure 9, similar to Embodiment 1, the first side wall portion 11 of the support member body 10 has a stepped portion 11a. However, the support member body 10 in this embodiment does not necessarily have to have a stepped portion.

[0155] With the configuration of the horizontal columnar member connecting section 320 described above, the scaffolding panel support member 301 can be attached so as to extend in a direction that intersects with the horizontally extending pylon support column 302.

[0156] The configuration of this embodiment may also be applied to a scaffolding panel support member that is extendable in one direction (longitudinal direction), as in Embodiment 2. This allows the unidirectional extendable scaffolding panel support member to be attached so as to extend in a direction intersecting the main support column 302.

[0157] (Other embodiments) Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the embodiments described above are merely examples for carrying out the present invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and it is possible to carry out the invention by appropriately modifying the embodiments described above without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[0158] In each of the above embodiments, the scaffolding panel support members 1,51,301 are provided on the suspended scaffolding 100,200,300. However, the scaffolding panel support members may also be provided on scaffolding other than suspended scaffolding. For example, the scaffolding panel support members may be provided on scaffolding 400 assembled in a vertical direction, as shown in Figure 12.

[0159] As shown in Figure 12, the scaffolding 400 is constructed by horizontally connecting a plurality of vertically extending support columns 401 with horizontal columnar members 403, etc., and installing treads 402 on multiple levels. The horizontal columnar members 403 are the horizontally extending members among the columnar members for the scaffolding 400. The scaffolding 400 may be a single-pipe scaffolding, a wedge-type scaffolding, or a frame scaffolding. In other words, the scaffolding 400 may be any type of scaffolding that has horizontally extending horizontal columnar members to which scaffolding panel support members can be attached.

[0160] In each of the above embodiments, the suspended scaffolding 100, 200, and 300 have scaffolding panels 120. However, the suspended scaffolding may have multiple types of scaffolding panels that differ in at least one of their thickness dimensions and lengths in the vertical and horizontal directions, as long as the scaffolding panels can be inserted into the grooves 10a and 51a of the scaffolding panel support members 1,51, and 301.

[0161] In each of the above embodiments, the panel fixing portion 130 includes a first panel support 131 and a second panel support 132. However, the panel fixing portion may also have only the first panel support.

[0162] In each of the above embodiments, the support column 131 for the first panel extends in the vertical direction. However, the support column for the first panel may extend in the diagonal direction.

[0163] In each of the above embodiments, the slider 26 includes a plate-shaped member 26a, a bolt 26b, and a nut 26c. The bolt 26b has a shaft portion that can move within the slit 11c and a head portion that is sized not to fall out of the slit 11c. The nut 26c is screwed onto the tip of the shaft portion of the bolt 26b, which penetrates the plate-shaped member 26a and the slit 11c. However, the slider configuration may be other than the above configuration, as long as the horizontal columnar member connecting portion can move along the slit of the first side wall.

[0164] In the above embodiment 2, the scaffolding panel support member 51 has an expandable portion 80 that changes the length of the support member body 52 in one direction by the relative movement of the first support member body 61 and the second support member body 71.
