Console Bracket for Adjustable Scaffold Spacing
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing safety scaffolding systems face challenges in adjusting the distance between the support bar and the building wall, making it difficult to install thermal insulation and requiring complex, multi-part adapter solutions for on-site assembly.
Innovation Solution
A console bracket with a robust, single-piece design featuring a scaffolding pipe clamp and adjustable distance between the receiving sleeve and the building wall, allowing for easy pivoting and locking to accommodate varying distances, using a minimal number of parts and enabling tool-free attachment.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Length of stationary object
If a spacer device is used to increase the distance between the support beam and building wall, then thermal insulation installation becomes possible, but the assembly complexity increases and multiple parts are required
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the spacer function and bracket holder function into a single integrated component. The bracket holder features a U-shaped cross-section with spaced-apart legs that directly provide the required distance between the support beam and building wall, eliminating the need for separate spacer devices and reducing assembly complexity to a minimal number of parts.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a multi-part adapter solution with spacer device is used, then adjustable distance is achieved, but on-site assembly becomes more complex and time-consuming
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket holder is designed as an integrated component with built-in adjustment mechanisms. The U-shaped legs with spaced-apart configuration allow direct adjustment of the distance between support beam and building wall without requiring multiple separate parts, significantly simplifying on-site assembly while maintaining adaptability.
Solution Approach 2:
The bracket holder incorporates adjustable elements that allow the distance between the support beam and building wall to be dynamically modified. The U-shaped legs can be positioned at different spacings to accommodate varying clearance requirements, enabling adaptability while maintaining a simplified single-component structure that reduces assembly complexity.
3Device complexity
If the support beam is mounted close to the building wall, then the console structure is compact, but thermal insulation installation becomes virtually impossible
Solution Approach 1:
The bracket holder integrates the spacing function directly into its U-shaped leg structure, providing a built-in solution that simultaneously maintains compact console geometry and creates sufficient clearance for thermal insulation installation. The spaced-apart legs inherently provide the necessary distance without requiring additional components.
