Abstract

A supporting body ( 2 ) is provided for the scaffold poles ( 3 ) of a position scaffolding ( 1 ) for positioning one or several tension jacks ( 29 ) or other functional elements. The supporting body ( 2 ) includes a joint ( 19 ) for connecting to a manipulator ( 30 ) and several double clamp devices ( 32 ) provided with paired clamping elements ( 4 ) for the cantilever fixation of the scaffold pole ( 3 ). The double clamp devices ( 32 ) includes parallel adjacent bars ( 5, 14, 16, 17 ) which are jointed to the supporting body ( 2 ) and form at least one pole reception area ( 8 ) whose cross section is adapted to the scaffold pole.

Claims (25)

1 . A support body for scaffold poles of a positioning scaffold for positioning individual working elements or a plurality of working elements the support body comprising:

a manipulator connection junction for connection to a manipulator and a plurality of clamped fastenings for the scaffold poles

a plurality of double clamping means with pairs of said clamping elements each for the floating fastening of one scaffold pole.

2 . A support body in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the double clamping means has parallel adjacent webs.

3 . A support body in accordance with claim 2 , wherein the parallel webs have a distance that is substantially smaller than the extension of the support body in the direction of the distance.

4 . A support body in accordance with claim 2 , wherein the webs have at least one rod mount with a cross section adapted to the scaffold pole.

5 . A support body in accordance with claim 1 , wherein together with a clip, the rod mount forms one of said clamping elements for fastening a scaffold pole.

6 . A support body in accordance with claim 1 , wherein one of the pairs of said clamping elements is equipped with positive-locking connection means for fixing the position of the scaffold pole.

7 . A support body in accordance with claim 1 , wherein a centering pin is arranged at one of the pairs of said rod mounts.

8 . A support body in accordance with claim 2 , wherein the webs are arranged at the support body or at a molding fastened thereto.

9 . A support body in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the support body consists of a lightweight material formed as a light metal casting.

10 . A support body in accordance with one claim 2 , further comprising a base plate, at the edge of which one or more said webs are located on an outside.

11 . A support body in accordance with claim 10 , wherein said webs include a web extending circularly in a frame-like pattern arranged at the edge of the base plate.

12 . A support body in accordance with claim 2 , wherein the parallel webs include webs located on an inner side arranged distributed in a latticework pattern at the support body.

13 . A support body in accordance with claim 10 , wherein the webs are arranged at one or both outer sides of the base plate.

14 . A support body in accordance with claim 10 , wherein the base plate is recessed locally between the parallel webs.

15 . A support body in accordance with claim 10 , wherein additional webs are arranged on the circumference of the support body in such a way that they extend at right angles to a plane of the base plate.

16 . A support body in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the webs are reinforced among each other with ribs.

17 . A support body in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the junction is arranged centrally at the support body and has a thickened flange plate with said screw holes, which said flange plate is arranged at the base plate.

18 . A support body in accordance with claim 17 , wherein the flange plate is reinforced by radial ribs against the webs located on the inside.

19 . A support body in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the support body has flange surfaces prepared by machining for fastening moldings or said clamping elements for said scaffold poles.

20 . A support body in accordance with claim 19 , wherein the molding has a base plate ( 22 ) for fastening at the support body as well as two parallel webs arranged at spaced locations from one another, in which there are recesses that are open on one side for receiving a scaffold pole, wherein the molding is connected to the scaffold pole by a clip fastening in conjunction with a positive-locking centering point at one of the webs.

21 . A support body in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the positive-locking connection means comprise a centering pin and a centering hole.

22 . A support body in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the centering pin passes at least partly through the base plate, optionally the web of the lower part of the clamping element as well as the associated scaffold pole to form the positive-locking connection.

23 . A support body in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the support body forms a positioning scaffold with a plurality of floatingly mounted scaffold poles and the working elements thereof.
