Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Steiggerät, z. B. eine Stufenleiter, eine Sprossenleiter oder einen Klapptritt mit wenigstens zwei Holmen, wenigstens zwei Sprossen oder Stufen, die zwischen den Holmen angebracht sind, und wenigstens zwei Füßen, die jeweils an einem in Gebrauchslage des Steiggeräts unteren Ende eines der Holme angebracht sind und je eine erste Aufstandsfläche aufweisen, über die das Steiggerät in der Gebrauchslage auf einem Boden ruht.The present invention relates to a riser, z. B. a step ladder, a rung ladder or a Klapptritt with at least two spars, at least two rungs or steps, which are mounted between the spars, and at least two feet, which are each attached to a lower in the use position of the Steigraft one of the spars and depending have a first footprint over which rests the riser in the position of use on a floor.

Derartige Steiggeräte, z.B. Stufenstehleitern zum Aufstellen, insbesondere sogenannte Haushaltsleitern sind aus dem täglichen Gebrauch vielen Personen bekannt. Die Holme solcher Steiggeräte sind in der Regel aus Aluminium-Hohlprofilen hergestellt. Die Füße sind in den bodenseitigen Enden der Hohlprofile eingesteckt und schützen den Boden vor Beschädigungen durch das scharfkantige Aluminium. Außerdem sorgen die Füße für eine ebene Aufstandsfläche der Leiter. Die Füße sind in der Regel aus einem Kunststoffmaterial hergestellt. Die erste Aufstandsfläche ist im Regelfall profiliert und relativ hart. Beim Aufstellen der Leitern auf empfindlichen, insbesondere weichen Untergründen kann diese, erste Aufstandsfläche der Füße der Leitern zu Beschädigungen an dem Untergrund führen. Es ist beispielsweise möglich, dass sich dadurch so ein profilierter Fuß einer Leiter in einen weicheren Holzfußboden, z.B. einen Parkett- oder Dielenboden eindrückt.Such climbing devices, e.g. Step ladders to set up, especially so-called household conductors are known from daily use many people. The spars of such risers are usually made of aluminum hollow sections. The feet are inserted in the bottom ends of the hollow sections and protect the floor from damage caused by the sharp-edged aluminum. In addition, the feet provide a level footprint of the ladder. The feet are usually made of a plastic material. The first footprint is usually profiled and relatively hard. When setting up the ladders on sensitive, especially soft substrates, this, the first footprint of the feet of the ladder can lead to damage to the substrate. For example, it may be possible for a profiled foot of a ladder to penetrate into a softer wooden floor, e.g. press in a parquet or board floor.

Andererseits ist der Fuß eines solchen Steiggeräts insbesondere bei Anwendungen im Außenbereich von Vorteil auf Grund seiner profilierten Aufstandsfläche.On the other hand, the foot of such a climbing device is particularly advantageous in outdoor applications due to its profiled footprint.

Aus dem Dokument US 2 163 970 A ist Steiggerät bekannt, das Füße hat, die austauschbare Aufstandsflächen bieten, die auf unterschiedlichen Untergründen verwendet werden können.From the document US 2 163 970 A Riser is known which has feet that provide replaceable footprints that can be used on different surfaces.

Jeder Fuß der aus dem Dokument US 2 163 970 A weist ein Wechselelement auf, das aus einer Ruhestellung in eine Gebrauchsstellung vor die erste Aufstandsfläche bringbar ist, um in der Gebrauchslage des Steiggeräts zwischen der ersten Aufstandsfläche und dem Boden angeordnet zu sein und um in der Gebrauchslage eine zweite Aufstandsfläche des Steiggeräts zu bilden, die eine Alternative zur ersten Aufstandsfläche ist. Bei dem Steiggerät kann also zwischen zwei Aufstandsflächen gewechselt werden. Zum einen kann eine erste Aufstandsfläche verwendet werden, die möglicherweise die üblichen Eigenschaften der bekannten Füße von Leitern hat. Anstelle dieser ersten Aufstandsfläche kann allerdings auch eine zweite Aufstandsfläche verwendet werden, die besonders geeignet ist, um in weichen Untergründe einen festen Halt zu finden. Die zweite Aufstandsfläche ist dazu an dem Wechselelement des Fußes vorgesehen.Every foot of the document US 2 163 970 A has a removable element, which can be brought from a rest position to a position of use in front of the first footprint to be arranged in the position of use of the climbing device between the first footprint and the ground and to form a second footprint of the Steiggeräts in the position of use, the Alternative to the first footprint is. In the riser so can be changed between two contact surfaces. On the one hand, a first footprint can be used, possibly having the usual characteristics of the known feet of ladders. Instead of this first footprint, however, a second footprint can be used, which is particularly suitable for finding a firm hold in soft ground. The second footprint is provided to the change element of the foot.

Das Steiggerät weist mehrere erste und zweite Feststellelemente auf, mit welchen jedes der Wechselelemente in der Ruhestellung und/oder in der Gebrauchsstellung festgestellt werden kann. Ein Erstes Feststellelement zum Festlegen eines Wechselelementes in der NichtGebrauchslage ist an dem Holm angebracht. Dieses erste Feststellelement wirkt mit einem zweiten Feststellelement zum Feststellen des Wechselelementes zusammen, das am Wechselelement vorgesehen ist.The climbing device has a plurality of first and second locking elements, with which each of the interchangeable elements in the rest position and / or in the position of use can be determined. A first locking element for fixing a replacement element in the non-use position is attached to the spar. This first locking element cooperates with a second locking element for locking the interchangeable element which is provided on the interchangeable element.

Die Anbringung der ersten Feststellelemente an den Holmen ist aufwändig, da sie eine Bearbeitung der Holme zur Befestigung der ersten Feststellelement erforderlich macht.The attachment of the first locking elements on the bars is complex because it requires a processing of the spars for fixing the first locking element.

Aus dem Dokument SU 83556 ist ein Steiggerät mit den Merkmalen des Oberbegriffs des Anspruchs 1 bekannt. Ein Nachteil des Steiggerätes ist, dass das Wechselelement nur in der Gebrauchsstellung festgestellt werden kann. Wird das Wechselelement nicht gebraucht, hat es keine definierte Ruhestellung. Außerdem ist das Feststellelement, mit dem das Wechselelement in der Gebrauchsstellung festgestellt wird, an dem Leiterholm befestigt. Dass macht es notwendig, dass das Feststellelement bei der Herstellung des Steiggerätes zusätzlich zu dem Fuß an den Holmen des Steiggerätes angebracht wird.From the document SU 83556 a riser with the features of the preamble of claim 1 is known. A disadvantage of the climbing device is that the interchangeable element can only be determined in the position of use. If the change element is not needed, it has no defined rest position. In addition, the locking element, with which the removable element is detected in the position of use, attached to the ladder stile. This makes it necessary that the locking element is attached in addition to the foot on the uprights of the riser in the manufacture of the riser.

Hier setzt die vorliegende Erfindung an.This is where the present invention begins.

Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zu Grunde ein Steiggerät vorzuschlagen, bei dem die Feststellelemente einfach anbringbar sind und das Wechselelement sowohl in der Gebrauchsstellung als auch bei Nichtgebrauch eine definierte Stellung hat.The invention is based on the object to propose a riser device in which the locking elements are easy to attach and the change element has a defined position both in the position of use and when not in use.

Die Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch ein Steiggerät mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 gelöst.The object is achieved by a riser with the features of claim 1.

Gemäß der Erfindung weist jeder Fuß ein erstes Teil auf, das fest mit dem zugeordneten Holm verbunden ist. Jeder Fuß weist ein Scharnier oder anderes Verbindungselement auf, über das das Wechselelement des Fußes um eine Schwenkachse schwenkbar mit dem ersten Teil des Fußes verbunden ist.According to the invention, each foot has a first part fixedly connected to the associated spar. Each foot has a hinge or other connecting element, via which the changing element of the foot is pivotally connected about a pivot axis with the first part of the foot.

Das Steiggerät weist Feststellelemente auf, mit Wechselelemente in der Ruhestellung und in der Gebrauchsstellung festgestellt werden kann. Alle Feststellelemente sind in der Ruhestellung und in der Gebrauchsstellung an den ersten Teilen oder den Wechselelementen der Füße angebracht.The climbing device has locking elements, can be found with interchangeable elements in the rest position and in the position of use. All locking elements are mounted in the rest position and in the position of use of the first parts or the interchangeable elements of the feet.

Bei dem Scharnier kann es sich um ein Filmscharnier handeln. Die Schwenkachse des Scharniers ist vorzugsweise parallel zu einer Sprosse oder Stufe des Steiggeräts angeordnet. Diese Anordnung der Schwenkachse ist von besonderem Vorteil, da dann das Wechselelement in der Ruhestellung weder in einen Bereich zwischen den Holmen oder einen Bereich seitlich der Holme hineinragt. Ein Hineinragen in den Bereich zwischen den Holmen bzw. in den Bereich seitlich der Holme ist von Nachteil, da in diesen Bereichen leicht eine Berührung und damit auch eine Beschädigung oder ein Unbeabsichtigtes Lösen des Wechselelementes in der Ruhestellung durch Füße eines Benutzers der Leiter erfolgen kann.The hinge may be a living hinge. The pivot axis of the hinge is preferably arranged parallel to a rung or step of the climbing device. This arrangement of the pivot axis is of particular advantage, since then the interchangeable element protrudes in the rest position neither in an area between the spars or an area laterally of the spars. A protrude into the area between the spars and in the area laterally of the spars is a disadvantage, since in these areas easily contact and thus damage or accidental release of the removable element can be done in the rest position by feet of a user of the ladder.

Die Schwenkachse des Scharniers kann als konkretes Bauteil, beispielsweise in Form einer kurzen Stange vorliegen. Die Drehachse muss aber nicht als konkretes Bauteil vorliegen. Sie kann auch durch Strukturen am ersten Teil und/oder am zweiten Teil definiert sein.The pivot axis of the hinge can be present as a concrete component, for example in the form of a short rod. However, the axis of rotation does not have to be a concrete component. It can also be defined by structures on the first part and / or on the second part.

Die Wechselelemente und/oder die ersten Teile der Füße können als Feststellelemente auskragende Elemente aufweisen. An den auskragenden Elementen können Rastnasen vorgesehen sein. Die Rastnasen können in der Ruhestellung bzw. in der Gebrauchsstellung der Wechselelemente hinter Vorsprüngen, in Hinterschnitten, in Kerben, in Nuten oder dergleichen eingerastet sein. Die auskragenden Elemente sind vorteilhaft im Wesentlichen parallel zu Ebenen angeordnet, die senkrecht zur Schwenkachse liegen.The interchangeable elements and / or the first parts of the feet may have cantilevered elements as locking elements. On the cantilever elements locking lugs can be provided. The locking lugs can be locked in the rest position or in the position of use of the interchangeable elements behind projections, in undercuts, in notches, in grooves or the like. The projecting elements are advantageously arranged substantially parallel to planes that are perpendicular to the pivot axis.

Die Füße der Leiter können ein Kunststoffteil aus wenigstens zwei Komponenten sein. Das erste Teil oder zumindest die erste Aufstandsfläche kann durch eine Komponente gebildet sein, während das Wechselelement oder zumindest die zweite Aufstandsfläche durch eine zweite Komponente gebildet sein kann.The feet of the ladder may be a plastic part of at least two components. The first part or at least the first contact surface may be formed by a component, while the interchangeable element or at least the second contact surface may be formed by a second component.

Die ersten Aufstandsflächen der Füße können rauer sein als die zweiten Aufstandsflächen. Ebenso ist es möglich, dass die zweiten Aufstandsflächen weicher sind als die ersten Aufstandsflächen. Es ist aber auch möglich, dass die zweite Aufstandsfläche rauer und/oder die erste Aufstandsfläche weicher ist.The first footprints of the feet may be rougher than the second footprints. It is also possible that the second contact surfaces are softer than the first contact surfaces. But it is also possible that the second footprint rougher and / or the first footprint is softer.

Die Wechselelemente können auch als Ganzes weicher und/oder härter sein als die ersten Teile der Füße.The interchangeable elements may also be softer and / or harder as a whole than the first parts of the feet.

Die ersten Teile der Füße können zumindest zum Teil in einen der Holme eingesteckt sein. Ebenso ist es möglich, dass die ersten Teile der Füße jeweils eine Kappe bilden und dass die Kappen auf je einen der Holme aufgesteckt sind.The first parts of the feet can be at least partially plugged into one of the spars. It is also possible that the first parts of the feet each form a cap and that the caps are attached to each one of the spars.

In den Figuren werden für Teile der verschiedenen Leitern gleiche Bezugszeichen verwendet, so weit sich diese Teile in ihrer Funktion unterscheiden. Die verschiedenen Leitern unterscheiden sich nur durch die Ausgestaltung von Füßen an den in der Gebrauchslage der Leitern unteren Enden von Holmen 1. Die Leitern S weisen (siehe Figur 1) ein Steigteil S1 und ein Stützteil S2 auf, die wie bei einer Stufenstehleiter üblich schwenkbar an einem Scharnier miteinander verbunden sind. Das Steigteil S1 und das Stützteil S2 weisen Holme 1 auf, die im Fall des Steigteils S1 durch Stufen miteinander verbunden sind. An den unteren Enden der Holme 1 sind die Füße 2 vorgesehen. An den oberen Enden der Holme 1 des Stützteils sind Scharnierteile 3 vorgesehen, die zusammen mit einer Achse 3a das Scharnier der Leiter bilden.In the figures, like reference numerals are used for parts of the various ladders, as far as these parts differ in their function. The different ladders differ only by the design of feet on the in the position of use of the ladders lower ends of bars 1. The ladders S point (see FIG. 1 ) A riser S1 and a support member S2, which are commonly connected to each other pivotally connected to a hinge as in a step ladder. The riser S1 and the support member S2 have spars 1, which are connected by steps in the case of the riser S1. At the lower ends of the spars 1, the feet 2 are provided. At the upper ends of the spars 1 of the support part hinge parts 3 are provided, which together with an axis 3a form the hinge of the ladder.

Das untere Ende der ersten Leiter, wie es in den Seitenansichten der Figuren 2 und 3 dargestellt ist, umfasst das untere Ende eines Holmes 1 und einen in dem unteren Ende des Holmes 1 angebrachten Fuß 2 aus Kunststoff, der mit einem als Kappe ausgebildeten ersten Teil auf das untere Ende des Holmes aufgesteckt ist. Die Kappe ist in etwa keilförmig und hat auf ihrer Unterseite eine erste Aufstandsfläche 26. Diese erste Aufstandsfläche 26 liegt in einer Gebrauchsstellung der ersten Leiter auf dem Boden auf und schützt den Boden vor Beschädigungen durch das Ende des Holmes 1, der in der Regel aus einem Aluminium-Hohlprofil hergestellt ist.The lower end of the first ladder, as shown in the side views of the Figures 2 and 3 is shown, comprising the lower end of a spar 1 and a mounted in the lower end of the spar 1 foot 2 made of plastic, which is attached with a cap formed as a first part to the lower end of the spar. The cap is approximately wedge-shaped and has on its underside a first footprint 26. This first footprint 26 is in a position of use of the first ladder on the floor and protects the floor from damage by the end of the spar 1, which usually consists of a Aluminum hollow section is made.

Über ein Scharnier 22 ist ein Wechselelement 23 mit dem die Kappe bildenden ersten Teil 21 des Fußes 2 verbunden. Das Scharnier 22 ist ein Filmscharnier, dass aus dem gleichen Kunststoff hergestellt ist, wie das erste Teil 21 bzw. das Wechselelement 23. Der Kunststoff des Wechselelementes 23 und des Filmscharniers 22 sind allerdings weicher als der Kunststoff der Kappe 21.Via a hinge 22, a change element 23 is connected to the cap forming the first part 21 of the foot 2. The hinge 22 is a film hinge that is made of the same plastic as the first part 21 and the interchangeable element 23. However, the plastic of the interchangeable element 23 and the film hinge 22 are softer than the plastic of the cap 21.

Dagegen ist in der Figur 3 das Wechselelement 23 in eine Gebrauchsstellung geschwenkt dargestellt. Durch das Schwenken des Wechselelementes 23 um das Filmscharnier 22 wird das Wechselelement 23 vor die erste Aufstandsfläche 26 gebracht. Die erste Aufstandsfläche 26 wird dadurch abgedeckt und eine zweite Aufstandsfläche 27 vor das untere Ende des Holmes 1 gebracht. Das Steiggerät S kann nun auf der zweiten Aufstandsfläche 27 des Fußes 2 ruhen. Aufgrund des weicheren Materials des Wechselelementes 23, ist das Steiggerät nun besonders dazu geeignet, auf weiche und empfindliche Untergründe, z.B. auf Parkett oder Holzdielen aufgestellt zu werden.In contrast, in the FIG. 3 the change element 23 is shown pivoted in a position of use. By pivoting the interchangeable element 23 about the film hinge 22, the interchangeable element 23 is brought in front of the first footprint 26. The first footprint 26 is thereby covered and a second footprint 27 brought before the lower end of the spar 1. The climbing device S can now rest on the second footprint 27 of the foot 2. Due to the softer material of the removable element 23, the riser is now particularly suitable to be placed on soft and sensitive surfaces, eg on parquet or wooden floorboards.

Das Ausführungsbeispiel hat einen Feststellmechanismus zum Feststellen des Wechselelementes in der Gebrauchsstellung. Der Feststellmechanismus umfasst einerseits eine Kerbe 28 als Feststellelement an der Kappe des Fußes 2 und andererseits einen Rasthaken 25a als Feststellelement an dem Wechselelement. In der Gebrauchsstellung des Wechselelementes rastet der Rasthaken 25a in der Kerbe 28 ein, wodurch das Wechselelement festgestellt ist.The embodiment has a locking mechanism for locking the interchangeable element in the position of use. Of the Locking mechanism comprises on the one hand a notch 28 as a locking element on the cap of the foot 2 and on the other hand, a latching hook 25a as a locking element on the interchangeable element. In the position of use of the interchangeable element of the latching hook 25a engages in the notch 28, whereby the interchangeable element is detected.
