Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a fixed device, preferably permanently, to an item, such as structural element or wall, of a construction, for the attachment of a scaffolding structure intended for particular to facilitate the realization or maintenance of roof of any construction as well as scaffolding structure able to cooperate with such device.
  • the invention relates more particularly to devices adapted to receive a scaffolding structure with support of this structure at a point in the construction to prevent the effect of the tilting moment acting on said structure, in particular when it is loaded by materials and / or stakeholders in roofing.
  • a mooring or anchoring device intended to receive such a scaffolding structure is particularly described in documents FR-A-2.245.213 and FR-A-2.307.100 of this inventor.
  • the anchoring member has a base suitable for being fixed to a rafter and a single hole suitable for receiving a hooking finger of the scaffolding structure.
  • the hole is made on a heel extending said base, heel and base being arranged in the chevron axis.
  • the major disadvantage of such anchoring device lies in the impossibility prevent, by means of such an anchoring device, the tilting of the scaffolding structure by lifting towards the building element. Such tipping can occur in particular in bad weather when a strong wind acts on the scaffolding structure.
  • the device anchor has a base provided with two openings intended to receive a fastening member of a structure scaffolding.
  • This hooking member affects the shape of a hook forming an open loop in one direction opposed to construction.
  • the downside of such solution lies first in the difficulty of hanging the scaffolding structure of the fact that the hook of this structure must be fixed by the bottom to anchor after angular orientation precise scaffolding structure, which requires operator dexterity and physical strength. Otherwise, such a solution presents the same risks of lifting the scaffolding structure as those described previously in the context of the patent arrangements FR-A-2.245.213 and FR-A-2,307,100 cited above.
  • the safety hook consists of a manifold terminated by a closed loop so that the cost of such a hook is relatively expensive and the more complicated than the device anchor object of the present invention.
  • such safety hook structure does not allow a variable angular positioning of the candlestick as a function construction. Such a disadvantage also applies to the device described in patent FR-A-2,728,923.
  • the purpose of the present invention is therefore to overcome the disadvantages mentioned above by proposing a device for the attachment of a scaffolding structure which prevents, safely, the scaffolding structure of both tilt by lifting towards the element of the construction that carries this structure and turn around a substantially vertical axis passing through the fulcrum of structure on construction and point of attachment of the structure to the device while allowing a possibility of angular positioning variable of the scaffolding structure on the device.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a attachment device for a scaffolding structure, the design allows, for any construction, the reception of dimension scaffolding structures variable and whose point of support does not necessarily have adjustable positioning due to the possibilities intrinsic adaptation to the hanging device.
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a attachment device for a scaffolding structure simple design, small footprint, low cost adapted to cooperate with a scaffolding structure of which the hooking finger is also simple in design.
  • the subject of the invention is a fixed device, preferably permanently, to an item, such as structural element or wall, of a construction for the attachment of a scaffolding structure with support this structure in at least one point of the construction to prevent the effect of the tilting torque acting on said structure, in particular when it is loaded by materials and / or stakeholders in roof, this structure having at least one finger attachment adapted to cooperate with the device, characterized in that the device consists of a body suitable for being attached to the building element, this body being provided with a hook affecting the shape of at least an open loop towards the element of construction, this hook comprising at least two superimposed openings forming a guide path substantially vertical for axial insertion through the above the attachment finger of the scaffolding structure inside said openings, the upper opening being bounded by a closed section while the lower opening is delimited by a section open towards construction, said openings cooperating with each other to prevent the pivoting of the fastening finger of the structure scaffolding in the direction of tilting of the structure scaffolding by lifting towards the element of construction
  • At minus one of the device hook openings is shaped to prevent, after insertion of a finger for hanging a scaffolding structure inside said opening, the rotation of this latching finger around its longitudinal axis.
  • the invention also relates to a scaffolding structure of the type having at least one latching finger for the attachment of the structure to a fixed device, preferably permanently, to an item, such as structural element or wall, of a construction, with support of this structure in at least one point of the construction to prevent the effect of tilting torque acting on said structure, in particular when it is loaded by materials and / or stakeholders in roof, characterized in that the catching finger is arranged to cooperate with openings of the device consisting of a body suitable for being fixed to the element of construction, this body being provided with a hook affecting the forms at least one open loop towards the building element, this hook comprising at least two superimposed openings, forming a guide path substantially vertical for axial insertion through the above the attachment finger of the scaffolding structure inside said openings, the upper opening being bounded by a closed section while the lower opening is delimited by a section open towards construction to prevent the pivoting of the fastening finger of the structure scaffolding in the direction of tilting of the structure scaffolding by lifting towards the element of construction and
  • construction element 2 can be a wall or a structural element of said construction 11.
  • construction element 2 is made up of Figure 1 by a chevron and in Figure 4 by a wall.
  • a scaffolding structure 3 which may be a structure already known per se of the type of that represented in patent FR-A-2,245,213 or a structure to be created.
  • FIG 1. This structure is made up of at least one upright and two sleepers extending on the same side of said amount. One of sleepers, is at its end, free for the attachment to device 1 while the other of cross members, by its free end, in abutment generally on a vertical wall of the construction 11.
  • one of the sleepers in this case the lower sleeper, comes in support at a point P of construction 11 to prevent the effect of the tilting torque exerted on said structure 3, in particular when loaded by materials and / or roofers.
  • the first one crosspiece in this case the upper crosspiece, comprises meanwhile at its free end a hooking finger 4 extending substantially orthogonally to said crosspiece towards the lower end of the amount of the structure 3.
  • This hooking finger 4 substantially straight is adapted to cooperate with the device 1.
  • the scaffolding structure 3 allows, in itself known, to delimit a path of circulation of stakeholders, this circulation can be carried out in safe thanks to the presence of a guardrail (not shown) consisting of boards supported by uprights generally fitted with hooks of said structure.
  • the hanging finger 4 can be carried by a mounted arm telescopically on the upper cross member of said structure 3, this cross member being itself carried by the amount of the structure.
  • the device 1 consists of a body 7 arranged to be fixed to an element 2 of the construction by suitable fixing means. Variants of realization of this body 7 have been shown in the figures 1 to 5 depending on the construction element 2 on which this body 7 must be fixed.
  • the fixing means can also meanwhile they affect a large number of forms. They can be constituted by simple organs of fixing such as screws, nails or the like, or by more complex anchoring devices such as sockets or other.
  • This body 7 is provided with a hook 8 affecting the shape of minus one open loop towards element 2 of construction.
  • This hook 8 comprises at least two openings or lights 9, 10 superimposed formed in correspondence and forming a substantially guide path vertical for axial insertion from above, i.e. from the top of the guide path, with your finger attachment 4 of the scaffolding structure 3 to inside said openings 9, 10.
  • these openings 9 and 10 prevent the pivoting of the attachment finger 4 of the scaffolding structure 3 in the direction of tilting of the scaffolding structure 3 by lifting towards element 2 of construction.
  • Such a tilt is represented by the arrow F in figure 1.
  • the advantage of such a solution lies in its simplicity. Indeed, the mere fact of having formed two openings 9 and 10 in correspondence allows safely avoid any risk of accident such as set out above.
  • At least one of the openings 9, 10 of the hook 8 of the device is shaped to prevent rotation of the attachment finger 4 of the structure scaffolding 3 around its longitudinal axis.
  • the catching finger consisting of a simple plate has a thickness such that when introduced inside the lower opening 10 of the hook 8, it can no longer be rotated around its longitudinal axis, the edges of the opening 10 enclosing the plate constituting the attachment finger 4.
  • the openings 9, 10 are shaped so that that the upper opening 9 is delimited by a section closed while the lower opening 10 is delimited by an open section towards construction 11., so as to allow, when moving in the direction F 'of the scaffolding structure corresponding to a opposite direction of tilting of the scaffolding structure 3 by lifting towards element 2 of construction, freedom of movement of the finger 4.
  • This freedom of movement of the finger 4 is necessary for the support of the scaffolding structure 3 on construction 11 in especially when this scaffolding structure 3 does not has no means for adjusting its fulcrum on construction 11.
  • Such realization of openings therefore allows the use of the attachment device 1 for scaffolding structures and constructions of varied design without complicating the design of this device 1.
  • At least one of the openings 9, 10 of the hook 8 of the device 1 is of length greater than the section of the attachment finger 4 of the scaffolding structure for allow, after insertion of the hooking finger 4 to inside one of the openings 9, 10, a translation of finger 4 inside this opening following a direction orthogonal to the axis of insertion of the finger in said opening and in the direction of a removal of the finger 4 of building element 2.
  • the upper opening 9 of the hook 8 is longer than the section of the finger attachment 4.
  • This opening 9 comprises at least one enlarged portion 9A for the passage of a bulge 5 or a latching finger boss 4.
  • the attachment finger 4 of the structure scaffolding 3 may also include at least one bore 6 for the passage of an organ (not shown), such as a pin, for locking the locking finger 4 to the interior of said openings 9, 10 of the hook 8 of the device 1.
  • This hole 6 is more particularly shown in Figure 3.
  • the pin in position locked, extends orthogonally to the guide path formed by and between the openings 9 and 10.
  • the opening 9 of the hook 8 of length greater than the section of the attachment finger 4 of the structure of scaffolding 3 substantially affects the shape of a double lock.
  • this opening 9 can be envisaged.
  • the hook 8 of device 1 substantially affects the shape of a C to concavity turned towards the construction element 2.
  • the upper branch 8A of C is arranged substantially in the extension of the body 7 of the device 1 while the lower branch 8B of C has a terminal end free.
  • the openings 9, 10 of the hook 8 are formed, in correspondence, respectively in the upper branch 8A and the lower branch 8B of the hook 8, the opening 10 of the lower branch 8B being directed towards the element 2 of construction. Therefore, the free end of the lower leg 8B of hook 8 substantially affects the shaped like a fork, the space left free between said branches of the fork constituting the opening 10.
  • connection zone between the lower and upper branches of the hook is here shown as a curved portion.
  • this portion could, equivalently, be a straight portion.
  • At least two attachment devices 1 according to the invention are positioned and fixed on elements of construction.
  • the scaffolding structure 3 previously at least partially mounted, is then hung on said devices thanks to the hanging pins 4 carried by the arms forming crosspieces of said structure, as as shown in figure 1.
  • the elements complementary such as railing elements, elements floor, etc.
  • the scaffolding structure is at this moment ready to receive a speaker and / or charges.
