Safety device

Abstract

Safety device, which is intended for temporarily fastening a person by means of a safety harness ( 12 ) and a safety line ( 11 ) at a part of a scaffold construction comprising, amongst others, vertical scaffold elements ( 2 ) which are provided with flanges ( 8 ) with openings ( 9 ), characterized in that between the free extremity of said safety line ( 11 ) and the scaffold construction ( 1 ), a support ( 10 ) is provided to which said safety line ( 11 ) can be connected.

1 . A safety device, which is intended for temporarily fastening a person by means of a safety harness and a safety line at a part of a scaffold construction comprising, amongst others, vertical scaffold elements which are provided with flanges with openings, wherein between the free extremity of said safety line and the scaffold construction, a support is provided to which said safety line can be connected.  
     
     
         2 . The safety device of  claim 1 , wherein the support is freely hingeable around a vertical axis X-X.  
     
     
         3 . The safety device of  claim 1 , wherein the support consists of a vertical tube, upon which at least one first transversely directed profile is attached.  
     
     
         4 . The safety device of  claim 3 , wherein the vertical tube is connected to said first transversely directed profile by a second transversely directed profile.  
     
     
         5 . The safety device of  claim 3 , wherein the first transversely directed profile is fixed perpendicularly to an extremity of the vertical tube, whereas the second transversely directed profile is fixed at the second extremity of the vertical tube, on one hand, and at the free extremity of the first transverse profile, on the other hand.  
     
     
         6 . The safety device of  claim 3 , wherein the vertical tube is a round tube which is provided freely pivotable over a second round tube.  
     
     
         7 . The safety device of  claim 6 , wherein at each extremity of the second round tube, a vertical pin is fixed, respectively an upper pin and a lower pin, whereby these pins are situated in each other's prolongation and whereby each pin fits into an opening of a flange of a scaffold element.  
     
     
         8 . The safety device of  claim 7 , wherein each pin is fixed on a protrusion which in its turn is fixed onto the second vertical tube.  
     
     
         9 . The safety device of  claim 7 , wherein each pin has a cross-section which is complementary to the shape of the opening in said flanges.  
     
     
         10 . The safety device of  claim 7 , wherein the free extremities of the pins are realized conically.  
     
     
         11 . The safety device of  claim 7 , wherein the upper pin has a larger length than the length of the lower pin.  
     
     
         12 . The safety device of  claim 7 , wherein in at least one pin, an additional safety element is provided.  
     
     
         13 . The safety device of  claim 12 , wherein at least one of the pins is provided with a transverse bore opening in which a removable safety pin, a padlock or the like can be provided and whereby this safety pin, padlock or the like are fixed at the safety device by means of a chain.  
     
     
         14 . The safety device of  claim 1 , wherein the support, at a distance to the vertical axis X-X, comprises an eyelet.
