Definitions

  • the invention relates to an adjustment safety element for an adjustment ladder, which is connected to a jetty, e.g. can be set on projections and horizontal or inclined edges of buildings.
  • the majority of the ladder user is probably not aware that ladder accidents, particularly those with partial or even severe disability, are relatively common. In the FRG alone there are over 40,000 conductor accidents per year.
  • the classic rule for securing a pitch ladder is to connect the top of the pitch line whenever possible. The connection can prevent the ladder from sliding off the ladder during work and the user being injured. Before starting work, the ladder should be optimally leaned towards the work to be done on the object. However the user wants to proceed, he must first climb the ladder if he can and wants to tie them up. The connection security is not yet available for the first ascent. The same applies to the last ascent, before removing the ladder. In addition to a second person securing the ladder in these cases, there is regularly a danger.
  • WO96 / 37673 now proposes a flexible bar profile that can be attached to both bars over a length of 0.3 to 1.2 meters.
  • the spar profile is designed as a hollow shape so that it can be slipped over both spar profiles at any point.
  • the spar profile is fixed at the desired location on the two spars and has a higher coefficient of friction for the system on the edge of the building.
  • the WO can allow the conductors to slide away from the jetty through the very special design of the friction surfaces or the spar profiles prevent.
  • the prerequisite is that the spar profile can be fixed to the spars by a clamp connection, so that the high coefficient of friction oriented towards the edge becomes effective.
  • U.S. Patent 4,726,446 has a partially similar aim. First and foremost, electrical contact at the articulation point with the ladder should be avoided.
  • the solution consists in a multi-purpose cover that can be used as a tool bag and has two strips across the height of the bag as friction linings. The rubbing strips are designed to prevent the ladder from slipping and damage to the wall. Because of the insufficient length of the friction linings, this solution is poorly suited for use on edges.
  • the adjustment safety element according to the invention is characterized in that the adhesive intermediate layer is designed as an adhesive tape that can be quickly fixed to the upper conductor ends for use, is adhesive on both sides and hangs down, and is linkable and can be clamped when the conductor is loaded in the area between the handlebar adjustment side and the jetty.
  • the intermediate adhesive layer is designed as a highly adhesive intermediate adhesive layer with surface profi lation for increasing the security against pitching, and is arranged in the region of the upper longitudinal side of the bar or can be quickly attached and detached again.
  • the adhesive liner can be attached to any type of conductor and size in a matter of seconds and can be removed again after use.
  • the intermediate adhesive layer preferably has a non-slip profiling towards the edge of the object, so that a tooth-like engagement occurs under load on the conductor via the intermediate adhesive layer.
  • an additional adhesive device that can be directly glued to the spars can have a finer "perforation", preferably parallel to the contact edge, which claws into the preferably soft-elastic side, which is also highly adhesive on the back.
  • the adhesive system can be any profiling with tips such as saw teeth. A Velcro-like bond is also possible between the adhesive system and the intermediate adhesive layer.
  • the core approach of the solution lies in an intermediate layer of adhesive, which extends over the length of the upper meter, and acts over the spars and generates a large static friction over a greater length to the jetty of the object. Because the adhesive liner extends over the top meter, the ladder can be leaned anywhere anywhere within this range. The security effect is always the same.
  • the simplest possible solution, especially for short ladders, is that a highly adhesive, soft, elastic covering is attached to both upper ends of the spar. Very good results were achieved with all solutions with a quality of 60 or less shore. The best solution has been found to be around 40 Shore. The simplest solution can also be applied to new extension ladders if some design adjustments are made to prevent a highly adhesive covering from making it difficult to pull out the ladder.
  • the adhesive intermediate layer is preferably only attached to the upper end of the conductor. This can be done easily with simple ladders and sometimes with ladders that can be converted as fixed ladder or pull-out ladder.
  • the extensibility is based on simple guides and relatively little play between the extending part of the ladder and the guides.
  • the ladder section to be pulled slides on the top rungs when pulled out. Because both parts of the ladder are made of the same material, mostly made of light metal, there is a lot when pulling out favorable coefficient of friction. The ladder section to be pulled out can therefore be easily pushed upwards.
  • the intermediate adhesive layer is preferably applied directly to the upper ends of the spar and / or partially embedded in the spar profile, so that it is at least not significantly more difficult to pull out. Removal can, however, be optimally designed with adapted sliding parts.
  • the contact security element is detachably fastened to the upper end of the ladder or spar in such a way that it can be quickly attached if necessary and then quickly removed again.
  • the adhesive intermediate layer is also possible to design the adhesive intermediate layer as two adhesive rails running parallel to the bars, such that the adhesive rails run as closely as possible to the bars, so that the power transmission nevertheless goes directly to the bars. These rails are preferably guided on the inside of the two spars, but in such a way that, according to the invention, the adhesive intermediate layer projects beyond the corresponding upper spar length and can engage elastically.
  • the intermediate adhesive layer is preferably designed, in particular for retrofitting conductors, as an adhesive tape which is in contact with or can be put on the spars of the conductors, in order to increase the resistance to displacement between the longitudinal sides of the spars and the landing point.
  • the adhesive intermediate layer is made about meters long, preferably 1.0 to 1.4 meters long, can be fixed at the upper conductor end via anchoring points and hangs down and consists of elastic, in particular soft, elastic, highly adhesive material of at least a few millimeters thick. It was interesting to observe that the test subjects expressed a certain amount of skepticism when they first looked at the adhesive tapes, but were spontaneously convinced of the effectiveness when climbing on the first time were.
  • each anchoring point has an adapter piece directly on the spar ends, as well as mountable and detachable support arms that protrude from the spars.
  • the adhesive intermediate layer is designed as link straps, which are connected to a support arm via swivel joints running parallel to the rungs of the ladder, such that the link straps hang freely swinging on the support arms shortly before the ladder is turned towards the structure.
  • the new invention allows a support axle to be attached in the area of both anchoring points and an impeller to be arranged outside the spars on the support axles.
  • the adhesive tape can be attached to the support axis using a quick-release device.
  • the invention further relates to an intermediate adhesive layer for the free employment of a ladder over the two longitudinal spar sides at jetties, and is characterized in that the intermediate adhesive layer is designed as a friction apron and can be fastened to the upper conductor end, preferably to the upper end of the spar, the friction apron being approximately meter-long and out soft elastic material is formed, with highly adhesive adhesive surfaces on both sides.
  • the adhesive apron can be designed as an approximately meter-long apron extending over both spars or in the manner of two individual, approximately hand-wide hanging pendulums.
  • the adhesive intermediate layers can be designed in such a way that they can be bent towards the contact points, but towards the spars, and cannot be deformed beyond a linearly stretched or stiffened position.
  • the adhesive tape is designed as a link tape or link straps, the individual tape links having adhesive pads on both sides towards the bars and towards the berth, in combination with the aforementioned one-sided bendability.
  • a completely unexpected effect occurs in that the freely projecting conductor end is, as it were, pulled towards the contact point. This occurs to an increased extent if the adhesive pads are made of flexible material.
  • the frictional resistance of the ladder bars at edges is negligible, so that the main component of the weight of the ladder user is derived directly onto the floor.
  • the new invention a substantial part of the weight is transferred in the area of the edge and increases the adhesive effect at the jetty.
  • a suitably exists Anchoring point consisting of an adapter that is permanently attached to the upper end of the spar, as well as a support arm that can be quickly attached and detached from the spar.
  • the adhesive intermediate layers are connected to the support arm via swivel joints running parallel to the rungs of the ladder, in such a way that the link bands hang freely on the support arms until shortly before the ladder is placed against the structure.
  • the adhesive tapes or the intermediate adhesive layers increase the hiring forces if they are divided into sections.
  • the sections can be formed as special stiffening sections or chain-like with several links.
  • the band links are articulated as a kit using socket pins and the articulation is limited by stops on the band links between two extreme positions, preferably to approximately 90 °. One limit is determined by a linearly stiffened or stiffened position and the other limit with the assembly position of the links.
  • the band links have a rectangular structure. The side directed towards the bars has adhesive strips on the side which runs transversely to the bars and the side facing away from the bars extends longitudinally to the bars.
  • the individual band links are preferably connected with parallel joint axes to the swivel joint on the support arm, the length of the individual band links being approximately as long as the distance from one rung to the next.
  • the band members expediently have lateral guide cams for the spars in the area of the articulated connection.
  • the generation of an additional contact force becomes fully effective when the swivel on the support arm protrudes at a distance of preferably about a hand's width from the spars, to form a triangle of force: spars, support arm and intermediate adhesive layer.
  • the new invention can be used for simple ladders as well as pull-out ladders.
  • an impeller is preferably additionally arranged in the area of both anchoring points outside the spars.
  • the belt links or each adhesive belt are assembled with a support arm as a preassembly, which can then be assembled and disassembled as a quick-assembly unit for the use of the ladder in a few seconds on the upper side of the rail.
  • the invention relates to a corresponding adjustment safety kit for free employment of a ladder via the two spars at jetties, and is characterized in that it has either a complete link belt or the parts for a link belt, which can be plugged together via an articulated connection to an adhesive tape and attached to the two spars of a ladder can be attached or that there is at least one as a friction apron trained adhesive intermediate layer, and preferably has a support axis and particularly preferably two impellers.
  • the invention solves the problem presented in a surprisingly effective and comfortable manner for the conductor user.
  • the safety of pitching is greatest when the user is standing in the upper part of the ladder, provided he does not make any unreasonable movements. Lateral forces resulting from a sensible way of working by the user are completely absorbed by the adhesive pad without the risk of sideways slipping. This is especially true when climbing a ladder for the first time, which has the goal of additionally securing the ladder with a rope at the top. A ladder is often used even in extremely critical conditions.
  • the new solution helps both when climbing on the first time and when loosening a safety rope, if necessary after several days or after finishing work.
  • the solution according to the invention for climbing the ladder is particularly advantageous if the user only uses the ladder to move an object, e.g. to climb a house roof.
  • the climbing device can be combined with running wheels to make it easier to pull out a ladder and start up on a wall. Furthermore, there is an additional safety function in the event that the ladder slips down.
  • the upper part can be used as an angular stop and in many cases prevent it from slipping away.

  • Figure 3a shows the upper range of a ladder 3 on a slightly larger scale.
  • a functionally important aspect lies in the type and nature of the intermediate liner. Very good results could be achieved with thicknesses Di of the adhesive tape of 3 mm to 12 mm, preferably about 4 to 8 mm.

  • FIG. 1 1 b to FIG. 1 1 c The build-up of forces from FIG. 1 1 b to FIG. 1 1 c is a maximum in the projecting upper conductor part corresponding to the triangle of forces in FIG. 1 1 c, since the strip is bent at point 21 between the completely stretched position according to FIG. 1 1 b and thereby builds up an enormous tractive force, which generates the torque ZW and the additional contact force NW.
  • FIG. 5 shows four assembly steps for two belt links 100. Step 1: both belt links are at an angle offset by 90 ° according to the arrow
  • Step 2 Rotation axes 103 and bore 103 are aligned.

  • FIGS. 16a, 16b and 16c It can be seen from FIGS. 16a, 16b and 16c that there is no interruption of the adhesive pads when the band members are stretched, since the adhesive pads 105, 105 'are supplemented by shorter adhesive pads 120, 120'.

  • the tooth profile 202 can be of any type, for example. have a pointed tooth-like profile.
  • the height 203 of the profiling is preferably in the range of e.g. 2 to 3 millimeters.
  • a significantly more pronounced profile 205 is attached to the adhesive intermediate layer 200 in the direction of the object.
  • the intermediate adhesive layer is preferably formed from a resilient material, so that the local pressing in at the edges 17 with the knobs 206 results in a strong grip.
  • the continuous belt 204 should preferably also have a minimal thickness of a few millimeters, so that there is a total thickness, tape and nubs, from 0.4 to 1, 2 cm.
  • the knobs 206 can also be designed as a plurality of individual knobs or in the manner of transverse ribs (parallel to the rungs 5). Furthermore, it is also possible to provide a Velcro fastener connection between the adhesive system 201 and the intermediate adhesive layer.
  • the new solution therefore works on two sides. First, sliding of the conductors in the direction of arrow 207 is very effectively prevented. Secondly, slipping sideways parallel to the rungs 5 is almost impossible. Materials are selected as the basic design that ensure good frictional grip in both dry and wet weather. However, a special version can also be produced for wet and ice, using known techniques to increase the frictional resistance under appropriate conditions.

Abstract

Cet élément de sécurité pour échelles droites permet d'appuyer une échelle (3) par la partie longitudinale supérieure de ses montants sur des saillies, notamment sur des bords (2) d'éléments de construction (1), avec une surprenante sécurité. L'élément comprend une couche intermédiaire adhésive allongée, de préférence profilée (10, 10'), située entre les montants (4, 4') de l'échelle (3) et le bord (2) de l'objet. Dans le cas d'échelles déjà existantes, on assujettit la couche intermédiaire adhésive (10, 10') de préférence à l'extrémité la plus haute de l'échelle, de sorte qu'elle pende librement lorsque l'échelle n'est pas encore appuyée sur le bord. La couche intermédiaire adhésive (10, 10') est extrêmement adhésive de ses deux côtés et de préférence fortement élastique sous une contrainte, se déformant aisément autour du bord (2). Cette nouvelle solution permet non seulement de monter en toute sécurité sur une échelle que l'on vient d'appuyer sur un élément de construction (1), mais rend l'appui de plus en plus sûr à mesure que l'utilisateur monte sur l'échelle. Dans le cas d'échelles neuves, la couche intermédiaire adhésive (10, 10') peut être fixée sur ou encastrée dans la partie supérieure des montants par le fabricant de l'échelle.
