CONNECTING ELEMENT FOR SCAFFOLDING Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC E04G7/30 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to connecting elements of scaffolding. Connecting element contains hook-shaped connecting part, located with possibility of suspension on gripping part of post, and locking device, switched between locked position in which connecting element can be fixed on post, and disengagement position in which connecting element can be disconnected from post. Locking device comprises first clamping part, which is attached to hook-shaped connecting part to turn about axis and in locked position interacts with at least, one of: said posts and said gripping part for tightening of joint between connector and post; wedge-like locking part, which is made with possibility of sliding between locked position and position of disengagement. Wedge-like locking part is made with possibility of movement from disengagement position to locked position by means of action of wedge to push first clamping part towards post and gripping part to interact with at least one of them. First clamping part comprises two located at distance of side parts, which form cavity in between. First clamping part is located outside on hook-shaped connecting part so that hook connecting part is located, at least partially inside cavity. Each of two side parts comprises fastener for mounting clamping part to hook-shaped connecting part. Connection system includes connecting element and post with at least one gripping part. Gripping part has support surface, which in working position faces upwards. Hook-shaped connecting part has support surface, which in working position faces downwards. Hook-shaped connecting part can be supported due to interaction between support surfaces.

EFFECT: higher reliability and rigidity of connection.
