Climbing Shoe Lateral Disassembly via Transverse Guide and Hook
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing climbing shoes for scaffolds on concrete building sections are not easily disassembled, making them inefficient for lateral disassembly and reassembly, which can lead to assembly errors and increased operational complexity.
Innovation Solution
A climbing shoe design featuring a first part with clamps for securing and guiding tracks, coupled to a second part fixed to the concrete section via a transverse guide and hooks, allowing lateral disassembly by sliding mechanisms, with additional safety and blocking features to manage stress and alignment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If climbing shoes are designed with fixed coupling between first part and second part, then structural stability is improved, but ease of disassembly deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The climbing shoe is divided into a first part (with clamps) and a second part (fixed to concrete section), coupled through a detachable transverse guide and hook mechanism. This segmentation allows the structure to be stable during operation while enabling easy lateral disassembly by sliding the first part off the transverse guide.
Solution Approach 2:
The coupling mechanism transitions from a static fixed connection to a dynamic detachable connection. The transverse guide and hook allow the coupling state to change between locked (during climbing) and unlocked (during disassembly), providing both structural stability and ease of disassembly as needed.
2Reliability
If climbing shoes use complex coupling mechanisms, then reliability of connection is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The complex multi-bolt coupling mechanisms from prior art are extracted and replaced with a simpler transverse guide and hook system. The hook engages with the transverse guide to provide reliable connection, while the sliding mechanism enables easy disassembly, reducing overall device complexity without sacrificing connection reliability.
3Productivity
If climbing shoes are designed for easy disassembly, then operational efficiency is improved, but stress on disassembly mechanism increases
Solution Approach 1:
The disassembly mechanism operates in a lateral dimension rather than requiring vertical force or complex manipulation. The first part slides laterally off the transverse guide, distributing stress across a larger area and reducing peak stresses on the disassembly mechanism while maintaining high operational efficiency.

AI summary
A climbing shoe for fixing a climbing scaffold to a concrete section. According to one embodiment the climbing shoe includes a first part including clamps configured for securing a track of the climbing scaffold and allowing the guided movement of the track while the climbing scaffold climbs in a substantially vertical direction. The climbing shoe includes a second part fixed to the concrete section, the first part being coupled to the second part. The first part and the second part are coupled to one another by means of a transverse guide arranged in one of said first and second parts and at least one hook surrounding the transverse guide arranged in the other one of said first and second parts, the hook and the transverse guide being able to slide with respect to one another for laterally disassembling the first part with respect to the second part.
