Definitions

  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the foot of such a climbing device is particularly advantageous in outdoor applications due to its profiled footprint.
  • 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 Steigêts in the position of use, the Alternative to the first footprint is.
  • a first footprint can be used, possibly having the usual characteristics of the known feet of ladders.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the pivot axis of the hinge can be present as a concrete component, for example in the form of a short rod.
  • 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.
  • the interchangeable elements and / or the first parts of the feet may have cantilevered elements as locking elements.
  • locking lugs can be provided on the cantilever elements.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the interchangeable elements may also be softer and / or harder as a whole than the first parts of the feet.
  • 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.
  • 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 )
  • the riser S1 and the support member S2 have spars 1, which are connected by steps in the case of the riser S1.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • the change element 23 is shown pivoted in a position of use.
  • the interchangeable element 23 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.
  • the embodiment has a locking mechanism for locking the interchangeable element in the position of use.
  • 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.
