Description

Modular Scaffolding

Object of the invention

The present invention relates, as expresses the statement of the present specification, to a modular scaffolding system.

More specifically, the modular scaffolding system object of the invention is configured as a modular structure whose main innovation lies in the design of a "H" shaped frame as a basic element, advantageously improving the process of assembling and disassembling the structure. as well as the safety of the operators during such operations with respect to the existing systems in the market
do.

Field of the Invention

This invention has its application within the Construction Industry.

Background of the invention

In reference to the state of the art, you must mention that there are various scaffolding systems for completion of tasks on facades and external walls of buildings and construction sites, however, most of them use as an essential element a rectangular closed frame.

Since most scaffolding systems they are constituted by said traditional closed frames, to comply with current regulations regarding the installation of scaffolding, every time a new level of work is going to be executed, approximately every 2m., it is essential to have auxiliary assembly and disassembly railing brackets, regardless of the final structure of the scaffolding.

It should be noted that the petitioner hereby invention is unaware of the existence of a modular scaffolding system that has technical, structural and constitutive similar to those advocated by the present invention,  which aims to solve the inconveniences above

Explanation of the invention.

For this, with the present invention it has been devised a modular scaffolding system whose basic element, such as mentioned, it consists of a "H" shaped frame.

With this framework, the operator from the level bottom, directly place the top level frame, and to the the final horizontal mooring, without accessory elements, so when you go up to the platform support level, you already know Find the protection of the final horizontal.

In this way, there is always a meter of difference between the upper end of the frame and the floor level of the platforms.

With this, not having to mount elements additional, the assembly and disassembly of the scaffolding is carried out to greater pace, so the level of performance is broader, and by both the lower cost and the closed frame system traditional.

More specifically, the assembly of the system modular scaffolding advocating the invention is made of the following form:

After the leveling of the land, through placement of the spindles adjusting them in height according to the tilt characteristics of the firm, so that they remain all at the same height, the vertical feet of start sausages in said spindles.

On these starting feet, the "H" modules, fixed using staples provided in those, providing, as mentioned, special conditions of security for the installation of the scaffolding, as well as for its subsequent use

The horizontals of first level, during whose operation, the structure must be fastened, not yet presenting enough stability until being diagonals placed. Said horizontal fixation and diagonals, is done by means of lugs.

Once the first diagonal is mounted, the structure acquires sufficient rigidity to stand alone.

Subsequently the platforms of First level work, two per module, leaving towards the part outside the moorings of the skirting boards, and assigning one of the gaps along every facade to the step platforms that they will allow access to the upper levels of the structure.

Once the first step platform is mounted (usually at one end of the scaffold) you can proceed to the assembly of the second level, having to install, for reasons of security, first the horizontal ones.

Given the low height at this point of assembly, it is safe enough to place the horizontals from the access ladder

Side protection is carried out by means of corner railings, consisting of a piece of easy handling and installation that when incorporating the skirting board simplifies the assembly task, and whose fixing is done by staples

The rest of the skirting boards are placed by inserting the lugs that are provided in the corresponding slots of The platforms

To complete the first level, the horizontal interiors in modules that match openings on the façade, being thus fully protected the operator.

The assembly of the second level begins usually by one end of the scaffolding by inserting a "H" shaped module in another "H" shaped module of the lower level, placing the other end of the horizontal before place the next module in "H" and raising the set over vertical foot

In this way, a protective horizontal of the next level is arranged in advance, that is, the installation of modules in "H" from the second level it is practiced simultaneously to the placement of the horizontals of the immediate upper level.

Once two modules are placed, one is inserted diagonal to give rigidity to the structure, repeating the process until reaching the other end of the scaffolding and repeating itself subsequently the assembly of work platforms.

Once also placed the platforms of step, the operator can now access the second level and ride like this the lower horizontal, corner railings and so on necessary elements.

Finally, the structure is fixed to the facade by placing metal eyebolts on which they will fix the moorings with hook specially designed to secure the studs to the scaffold with a fixed staple, placing said moorings on all vertical feet of the scaffolding.

The new modular scaffolding system represents, therefore, an innovative structure of features structural and constitutive unknown so far for such end, reasons that together with its practical utility, endow it with sufficient basis to obtain the privilege of exclusivity that is requested.

In this way, the invention is configured as a modular structure of generally tubular elements that couple with each other to form a scaffold, whose assembly and Disassembly is advantageously performed more quickly and safely than known scaffolding structures.

To do this, as seen in figures 1 to 4, the spindles (1) are placed so that they are all at same height, installing vertical feet embedded in them (2) Start and above these, the modules in "H" are inserted (3), fixed by fixing clips (4) that are provided.

Next the bars are placed horizontal (5) and the first level diagonal bars (6), by introducing the holes (5a) and (6a) of which they have at their ends in studs (7) intended for this purpose arranged in the "H" modules (3), as illustrated in Figure 5

Later they are coupled on the segment horizontal of each of the modules in "H" platforms of work (8) of the first level, placing two per module (figure 6), allocating one of the gaps along any facade to the step platforms that will allow access to levels structure superiors.

Side protection is carried out through the corner railings (9), which when incorporated the skirting board simplifies the assembly task, and whose fixing is made using fixing clips (4), placing the rest of skirting boards (10) inserting the lugs (10a) of which they are provided in the corresponding slots (8a) of the platforms (8), such as seen in figures 7 to 9.

The assembly of the second level, as illustrated Figure 10, usually begins at one end of the scaffolding inserting a module in "H" (3) in another module in "H" (3) of the lower level, placing the other end of the horizontal bar (5) before placing the next module in "H" (3) and raising the assembly on the vertical foot (figure eleven).

In this way, a horizontal bar (5) protective of the next level is arranged in advance, such as shown in figure 12, that is, the installation of "H" modules (3) from the second level is practiced simultaneously with the placement of the horizontal bars (5) of the immediate upper level.

Once placed two modules in "H" (3), it  insert a diagonal (6) to stiffen the structure, repeating the process until reaching the other end of the scaffolding and repeating later the assembly of the platforms of work (8).

Once also placed the platforms of step, the operator can now access the second level with all safety and thus mount the lower horizontal bars (8), corner railings (9) and other necessary elements.

Finally, the structure is fixed to the facade by placing metal eyebolts (11) with their corresponding tacos, to which the moorings (12) will be fixed with hook (13) specially designed to secure the eyebolts (11)  to the scaffold with a fixed clip (4), said moorings (12) being placed on all vertical feet of the scaffolding.
