Scaffold floor and floor part

Abstract

A scaffold floor comprises one or more floor parts, each with a walking surface and a set of flanks hanging downward on either side thereof. The floor part is provided on opposite outer ends with a head piece with claws with which the floor part engages in a scaffolding round a ledger of the scaffolding. The head piece is provided at least substantially as a folded plate body with a set of opposite wings which are connected to the flanks of the floor part. The head piece provides between the wings a front plate with at least one first slotted hole and at least one second slotted hole. Each of the claws comprises on a side facing toward the front plate at least one hook member which is received fittingly in a slotted hole in the front plate and hooks round an edge of the slotted hole here. The claws are attached durably to the head piece by a mechanical connection.

1 . A scaffold floor, comprising a floor part with a walking surface and a set of flanks hanging downward on either side thereof, which floor part is provided on opposite outer ends with a head piece with claws with which the floor part engages in a scaffolding round a ledger of the scaffolding, wherein the head piece is provided at least substantially as a folded plate body with a set of opposite wings which are connected to the flanks of the floor part, that the head piece provides between the wings a front plate with at least one first slotted hole and at least one second slotted hole, that each of the claws comprises on a side facing toward the front plate at least one hook member which is received fittingly in a slotted hole in the front plate and hooks round an edge of the slotted hole here, and that the claws are attached durably to the head piece by a mechanical connection. 
     
     
         2 . The scaffold floor according to  claim 1 , wherein the wings protrude between the flanks of the floor part and under the walking surface of the floor part. 
     
     
         3 . The scaffold floor according to  claim 1 , wherein the front plate comprises on an underside remote from the walking surface a folded strip part which extends substantially parallel to the walking surface, that the claws comprise a protruding tongue with which the claws protrude under the strip part of the front plate, and that the hook members hook round the edge of a relevant slotted hole in a direction away from the tongue. 
     
     
         4 . The scaffold floor according to  claim 1 , wherein the mechanical connection is brought about by at least one continuous connecting member, particularly at least one rivet or screw bolt. 
     
     
         5 . The scaffold floor according to  claim 1 , wherein the head piece comprises a locking body which lies received for axial movement in a passage in the front plate, that the locking body is received on a downward directed guide surface of a guide, and that the locking body is lifted from a path of the ledger when touched by a ledger and is able and configured to slide under the ledger when released. 
     
     
         6 . The scaffold floor according to  claim 5 , wherein the guide is formed by a third folded plate body and is connected mechanically to the head piece, particularly by means of a screw bolt or rivet. 
     
     
         7 . The scaffold floor according to  claim 1 , wherein the front plate comprises on an upper side facing toward the floor part a folded strip part with which the head piece lies on the walking surface. 
     
     
         8 . The scaffold floor according to  claim 1 , wherein each of the claws is provided as a second folded plate body. 
     
     
         9 . The scaffold floor according to  claim 8 , wherein the hooks are provided on opposite flanks of the second folded plate body and that a fitting strengthening body is provided therebetween. 
     
     
         10 . The scaffold floor according to  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the wings of the head piece comprises a protruding tongue with which the floor part supports on a ledger of the scaffolding. 
     
     
         11 . The scaffold floor according to  claim 1 , wherein the flanks of the floor part comprises on a side remote from the walking surface an inward directed flange and that the wings of the head piece protrude fittingly between a flange of the floor part and the walking surface. 
     
     
         12 . The scaffold floor according to  claim 1 , wherein the folded plate bodies were separated from a sheet, particularly from a metal sheet of steel, stainless steel or aluminium. 
     
     
         13 . A floor part as applied in the scaffold floor according to  claim 1 .
