Scaffolding Board With Detachable Hook Fitting

Abstract

Scaffolding board ( 1 ) including a section ( 1′ ) with a substantially flat surface ( 2 ) for persons staying on this surface. The scaffolding board includes a fitting ( 11 ) with hooks ( 9 ) at the end of the section ( 1′ ) for securing the assembled scaffolding board ( 1 ) on a traverse board. The fitting ( 11 ) includes two lugs ( 13 ), and the section ( 1′ ) correspondingly includes two openings ( 12 ) in the surface ( 2 ) at a distance from the end of the section ( 1′ ) for accommodating the lugs ( 13 ) in the openings ( 12 ). The fitting ( 11 ) furthermore includes a flat part ( 15 ) between the at least one lug and the hooks ( 9 ) for bearing against the underside ( 16 ) of the scaffolding board.

1 . Scaffolding board ( 1 ) including a section ( 1 ′) with a substantially flat surface ( 2 ) for persons staying on this surface, and including a fitting ( 11 ) with hooks ( 9 ) at the end of the section ( 1 ) for securing the assembled scaffolding board ( 1 ) on a transverse beam, where the fitting ( 11 ) includes at least one lug ( 13 ), and where the section ( 1 ′) includes at least one opening ( 12 ) spaced apart from the end of the section ( 1 ′) for accommodating a lug ( 3 ) in the opening ( 12 ), and where the fitting ( 11 ) furthermore includes a flat part ( 16 ) between the at least one lug and the hooks ( 9 ) for bearing against the underside ( 17 ) of the section ( 1 ′), characterised in that the opening ( 12 ) is provided in the surface ( 2 ), and that the lug ( 13 ) is resting on the edge of the opening ( 15 ).  
   
   
       2 . Scaffolding board according to  claim 1 , wherein the fitting ( 11 ) has two lugs and the section ( 1 ′) has two openings ( 12 ) for receiving the two lugs ( 13 ).  
   
   
       3 . Scaffolding board according to  claim 1 , wherein the fitting ( 11 ) has an angular part ( 18 ) which is rectangular in relation to the flat part ( 16 ) in order thereby to at least partly cover the end of the section ( 1 ′) where the hooks ( 9 ) are fastened to the angular part ( 18 ).  
   
   
       4 . Scaffolding board according to  claim 1 , wherein the section ( 1 ′) includes a pair of sectional side members ( 3 ,  3 ′), and the fitting includes a pair of side pieces ( 19 ) for bearing against the inner side of the side members of the section ( 1 ′).  
   
   
       5 . Scaffolding board according to  claim 4 , wherein the side pieces ( 19 ) of the fitting and the side members ( 3 ,  3 ′) of the section are provided with means for a fixing device for securing the fitting ( 11 ) in relation to the section ( 1 ′).  
   
   
       6 . Scaffolding board according to  claim 5 , wherein the means for a fixing device includes holes for accommodating screw bolts in the holes.  
   
   
       7 . Scaffolding board according to  claim 5 , wherein the means for a fixing device includes a snap lock, where a resilient safety tab acts as a barb against separation of the fitting ( 11 ) from the section ( 1 ′).  
   
   
       8 . Scaffolding board according to  claim 1 , wherein the section ( 1 ′) has a surface ( 2 ) which is connected with L-shaped side members ( 3 ,  3 ′) at a right angle from the surface, in order thereby to constitute a edged C-section.  
   
   
       9 . Scaffolding board according to  claim 1 , wherein the at least one opening ( 12 ) of the section ( 1 ) for the lugs ( 13 ) has an edge which is lowered under the level of the surface ( 2 ) in order that the at least one lug ( 13 ) does not protrude substantially above the level of the surface ( 2 ) after being accommodated in the opening.  
   
   
       10 . Scaffolding board according to  claim 1 , wherein the fitting includes a plate which is pivotably connected to the fitting and which, after placing the hooks on a beam, by action may engage under the beam and prevent that the hooks can be lifted off the beam.
