Description

Support element, work platform, climbing system, and process

The present invention relates to a support element for use in a climbing system. The invention further relates to a work platform and a climbing system each comprising such a support element. The invention also relates to a method for using a corresponding support element.

Climbing systems are known as devices designed to climb building walls, for example, for renovation or cleaning work, or, more specifically, in building construction, to erect the building walls up which the climbing system climbs. For example, in building construction, wall sections are constructed in sections, up which, after curing, the climbing system can climb to continue the construction of the building.

Such climbing systems include work platforms on which workers can stand to perform work on the building. The work platforms, in turn, include support elements that hold the work platform to the building wall and, by means of which the work platform climbs the building by being attached to the building wall at different heights.

As buildings are increasingly being constructed higher, larger, faster, and/or more cost-effectively, there is a continuing interest in developing improvements to such climbing systems. An important point here are the support elements that enable the interaction of the climbing system with already erected wall sections .

An object of the invention is therefore to describe aspects that provide improved support elements for such climbing systems as well as corresponding improved work platforms, climbing systems, and methods for using a corresponding support element.

The above-mentioned object is achieved with the support element, the work platform, the climbing system, and the method according to the independent patent claims and the aspects mentioned herein. Further advantageous embodiments are disclosed in the dependent patent claims, as well as in the figures and the following description.

According to a first aspect, a support element for use in a climbing system comprises a first support component and a second support component, wherein the first support component is movable relative to the second support component. The first support component has a first fastening device which is provided for fastening the support element to an anchoring shoe, and the second support component is connected to a work platform. The support element further comprises a second fastening device which is provided for fastening a first drive component of a climbing drive, wherein the second fastening device is variable in the horizontal direction relative to the second support component. The advantage here is that variable extension lengths of the support element are made possible by moving the support components and the second fastening device relative to one another. In this way, the support element can be securely fastened to anchoring shoes, even if a wall to which the anchoring shoes are attached is uneven. In particular, steps in a wall can be climbed over in this way. The fact that the second fastening device can be varied in the horizontal direction makes it possible in particular for the fastening of the climbing drive to be brought close to the wall to which the support element is attached, which improves the transmission of force from the climbing system into the wall and thus enables the carrying of larger loads.

The fact that the second support component is connected to the work platform means in this context in particular that the second support component is rigidly connected to the work platform, i.e. that the second support component is not movable relative to the work platform. For example, the second support component is part of such a work platform. For example, the first support component can also be connected to the work platform, but in this case indirectly, via a device which enables the relative mobility of the first support component with respect to the second support component.

Examples of the first fastening device and the anchoring shoe mentioned here are disclosed in detail in the German patent application with the official file number: 102024104385 . 7 , the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference into this application. Of course, it is also possible to use any other corresponding Fastening devices and anchoring shoes are to be used. An example of a climbing system in which the support element described here can be used is also disclosed in detail in the German patent application with the official file number 102023135364.0, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference into this application. Of course, it is also possible to use the support element described here in any other climbing system.

The horizontal direction here describes a direction that is perpendicular to the construction direction of a wall up which a climbing system climbs. The horizontal direction is in particular parallel to a building floor and to a main extension surface of a work platform on which workers can be located. In particular, the horizontal direction is perpendicular to a main extension surface of the wall up which the climbing system climbs. The fact that the second fastening device is variable in the horizontal direction means in particular that the second fastening device can be moved in this horizontal direction relative to the second support component.

The climbing drive, for example, is a drive that can change the height of the climbing system through the relative movement of two drive components, such as a piston and a piston rod, so that the climbing system can be lifted to the next designated section. For example, such a climbing drive is a hydraulic drive, such as a hydraulic cylinder, or a motor-driven lifting device. For the purposes of this disclosure, "fastening" means a positive connection and/or a force-locking connection and/or a mere application and a resulting fastening by means of a weight force of the applied element. "Fastening" for the purposes of this disclosure may include a direct fastening of one element to another element, or it may include fastening via further intermediate elements. "Fastening" may describe a detachable or non-detachable connection.

According to at least one embodiment, the carrier element further comprises a component drive which is designed to move the first carrier component relative to the second carrier component.

One advantage of this is that it provides a simple means of moving the first support component. This makes it particularly easy for workers to move the first support component.

The component drive can be, for example, a manual or motor-driven drive, such as a manual or motor-driven spindle drive, or alternatively a hydraulic drive. However, any other suitable drives can also be used here.

According to at least one embodiment, the second fastening device is attached to the first support component. This allows a quick and uncomplicated extension of the support element, since the first support component and the second fastening device are moved together.

According to at least one embodiment, the support element further comprises a third support component which is variable in the horizontal direction relative to the first and the second support component, wherein the second fastening device is attached to the third support component.

One advantage here is that the second fastening device, i.e., the fastening of the climbing drive to the support element, is movable independently of the first support component. This allows, for example, larger steps in a wall on which the climbing system climbs to be overcome, since the first support component can be extended to secure it to an anchoring shoe without the climbing drive being moved at the same time, which could lead to problems with such larger steps when the climbing drive is extended.

According to at least one embodiment, the third carrier component comprises at least one carrier module part that can be attached to the first and/or the second carrier component.

One advantage here is that a modular design of the third support component allows for variable adaptation of the third support component to the extension length of the support element. In this way, high stability is achieved at different extension lengths of the support element. In addition, the modular design and the associated insertion and removal of support module parts a quick and uncomplicated adjustment of the length of the third support component.

The third support component can be attached directly to the first and/or second support component. Alternatively or additionally, the third support component can also be attached indirectly, i.e., via at least one further element or component, to the first and/or second support component. For example, the third support component is attached to a cross element and/or a vertical strut by means of the at least one support module part.

A possible concrete embodiment of such a modular design of the third carrier component is disclosed in the German patent application entitled "Connecting device, cross element, carrier module part, and carrier" filed on the same day as this application by the same applicant, the content of which is hereby incorporated by reference into this application.

According to at least one embodiment, the third support component is fixed to the second support component in the horizontal direction, and the component drive is fastened to the first support component and to the third support component. The component drive is further configured to move the first support component relative to the third support component.

An advantage here is that in this way an extension or retraction of the component drive allows an extension of the first carrier component and a retraction of the third carrier component. If the third carrier component is fixed to the second carrier component, a movement of the Component drive causes the first support component to be extended or retracted. If the first support component is secured to the anchoring shoe and/or to the second support component, movement of the component drive causes the third support component to move in the horizontal direction.

For example, the third support component is secured to the second support component by means of a securing element, such as a bolt, latch, or other fastening device. Alternatively or additionally, the third support component has a stop for the second support component on a side facing away from a wall, by means of which the third support component rests against the second support component.

According to at least one embodiment, the third carrier component rests at least partially on the first carrier component.

One advantage here is that stable securing of the third support component is enabled. Furthermore, this enables the third support component to be guided along the first support component when the third support component is moved. According to at least one embodiment, the second support component comprises a horizontal support connected to the work platform, and the first support component comprises at least one rail that is guided at least partially along the horizontal support.

An advantage here is that a particularly stable and secure design of the support element is achieved. The guidance of the first support component by means of the at least A rail on the horizontal support enables safe and controlled movement of the first support component.

The horizontal beam is, for example, attached to the work platform or is itself part of the work platform.

According to at least one embodiment, the first support component comprises two parallel rails which are arranged laterally on opposite sides of the horizontal support.

One advantage of this is that safety and stability, as well as controlled movement, are further improved. In addition, symmetrical loading of the first and second support components is achieved.

According to at least one embodiment, the first carrier component and the second carrier component each have at least one opening for receiving at least one securing element.

One advantage here is that a simple, secure, and easy-to-handle attachment of the movable first support component to the second support component is possible. Furthermore, the first and/or second support component can, in particular, have a plurality of openings that can be connected to one or more corresponding openings in the second or first support component by means of a securing element. In this way, a plurality of different extension lengths can be achieved, which improves the flexibility of the support element. A bolt, a square, a hexagon, a bolt or any other suitable securing element can be used as a securing element.

According to at least one embodiment, the second fastening device is designed to pivotally fasten the climbing drive to the support element, wherein a pivot axis is perpendicular to a direction of movement of the first support component.

One advantage here is that the second fastening device, i.e., the end of the chain drive attached to the support element, can be moved without having to relocate the entire chain drive. For example, the second fastening device can be moved without having to move the entire climbing drive toward the wall. This particularly improves climbing over steps in the wall on which the climbing system is located.

According to at least one embodiment, the second support component comprises a vertical strut which is connected to the work platform.

One advantage of this is that a particularly load-bearing component is used as the second component. This increases stability and thus safety when attaching the support element to the wall.

The vertical brace is, for example, attached to the work platform or is itself part of the work platform. For example, the horizontal beam described above and the vertical strut described here are connected to each other by means of a cross element.

According to at least one embodiment, the support element comprises at least one first diagonal connector with variable length, which is pivotally fastened to the vertical strut and to the first support component, wherein a pivot axis is perpendicular to a direction of movement of the first support component.

One advantage of this is that additional stabilization and guidance of the first support component is achieved. The variable length of the first diagonal connector allows the first diagonal connector to move when the first support component is extended or retracted.

Alternatively or additionally, a first diagonal connector with a fixed length can be used for further stabilization, which is removed for the movement sequence of the first support component and reinserted with a different length after completion of this movement sequence.

According to at least one embodiment, the support element comprises at least one second diagonal connector with a variable length, which is pivotably fastened to the vertical strut and to the third support component, wherein a pivot axis is perpendicular to a direction of movement of the third support component.

One advantage of this is that additional stabilization and guidance of the third support component is achieved. The variable length of the second diagonal connector enables the second diagonal connector to move when the third support component is extended or retracted.

Alternatively or additionally, a second diagonal connector with a fixed length can be used for further stabilization, which is removed for the movement sequence of the third support component and reinserted with a different length after completion of this movement sequence.

For example, the at least one first diagonal connector and/or the at least one second diagonal connector each comprise a first connector component which is fastened to the first or third support component, and a second connector component which is fastened to the vertical strut, wherein the first connector component is movable relative to the second connector component.

For example, includes:

- the first connector component is a single rail and the second connector component is a double rail, wherein the single rail is guided in the double rail; or

- the first connector component is a double rail and the second connector component is a single rail, wherein the single rail is guided in the double rail. In both embodiments, the single rail can also be designed as a narrower double rail (i.e., narrower than the other double rail) that is guided in the other, wider double rail.

This provides simple and safe designs of the diagonal connectors.

For example, includes: - the first connector component has at least one opening and the second connector component has a plurality of openings suitable for receiving a securing element; or

- the second connector component has at least one opening and the first connector component has a plurality of openings which are suitable for receiving a securing element.

This allows the diagonal connectors to be fixed in a variety of different extension lengths, which in turn allows the support element to be fixed in different extension lengths.

According to at least one embodiment, the first fastening device has a displaceable

Securing element by means of which the first support element can be fastened to the anchoring shoe.

An advantage of this is that it allows for a simple and secure attachment of the support element to the anchoring shoe. A detailed description of such a fastening device can be found in the above-mentioned

German patent applications included in the reference are disclosed.

According to a second aspect, a work platform for use in a climbing system comprises at least one

Support element according to the first aspect described above or according to at least one of the above-described embodiments of the first aspect.

The advantages and designs of the work platform essentially correspond to those of the support element described above. For the sake of clarity, these are not repeated here, but apply accordingly.

According to at least one embodiment, the at least one support element is arranged on a horizontal support of the work platform.

One advantage here is that a particularly load-bearing design of the at least one support element, and thus a particularly high load-bearing capacity and good force transmission from the work platform via the support element into a wall to which the work platform is attached, is achieved. For example, the at least one support element is attached to the horizontal support (directly or indirectly), or the at least one support element is itself part of the horizontal support.

According to a third aspect, a climbing system comprises a work platform according to the second aspect described above or according to the embodiment of the second aspect described above.

The advantages and features of the climbing system are essentially the same as those of the support element and the work platform described above. For the sake of clarity, these are not repeated here, but apply accordingly.

According to at least one embodiment, the climbing system is a core climbing system. In other words, the climbing system is a climbing system which is designed to climb up a building core, for example in order to erect such a building core. This is characterized by in particular by the fact that two walls arranged at a distance from each other are used for climbing the climbing system .

According to a fourth aspect, a method for using a support element in a climbing system comprises the following steps:

- Detaching the first support component from a first anchoring shoe on a first wall section;

- moving the support element into a region of a second wall section with a second anchoring shoe, wherein a main extension surface of the second wall section facing the support element lies in a different plane than a main extension surface of the first wall section facing the support element;

- moving the first support member relative to the second support member in a first direction;

- fixing the first support component to the second anchoring shoe on the second wall section;

- Moving the second fastening device in the first direction.

In particular, this method is used for any of the support elements, work platforms, and climbing systems described above. The advantages and configurations of the method essentially correspond to those of the support element and work platform described above, as well as the climbing system. For the sake of clarity, these are not repeated here, but apply accordingly.

The above-mentioned steps of moving the support element into the area of the second wall section and moving the The first support component and the second fastening device can be installed in any order. In particular, the order may depend on whether the support element is extended or retracted, i.e., in the case of climbing over a step, whether the step leads away from the climbing system or toward it.

According to at least one embodiment, if the carrier element further comprises a third carrier component to which the second fastening device is attached, the method further comprises:

Moving the third support component in the first direction to perform the movement of the second fastening device in the first direction, wherein the third support component comprises at least one support module part;

- Inserting and/or removing at least one carrier module part in order to change a length of the third carrier component.

The advantage here is that it provides a simple and quick way to stably fix the third support component in different positions.

According to at least one embodiment, the method further comprises the following steps:

- Detaching a climbing shoe attached to the climbing drive from the first anchoring shoe on the first wall section;

- Tightening the climbing shoe by retracting the climbing drive; and - Fixing the climbing shoe to the second anchoring shoe on the second wall section.

A detailed description of such a climbing process is disclosed in the above-mentioned German patent applications incorporated by reference.

Further advantageous embodiments are disclosed in the attached figures and the following description. Elements with essentially the same function are given the same reference symbols in the figures, but need not be identical in all details. Since many figures depict different views of the devices described below, many elements appear repeatedly in the figures. However, these are named in detail only upon their first appearance and are provided with reference symbols in order to ensure clarity of the figures and their description.

Figure 1 shows an exemplary climbing system 1 in which the support elements and working platforms disclosed herein, as well as the method for using a support element, can be used. The climbing system 1 shown here shows a formwork system for erecting a building core with two spaced-apart walls 2. Alternatively, the support elements and working platforms described above and below, as well as the method for using a support element, can also be used in any other climbing systems. The climbing system 1 according to Figure 1 comprises a working platform 3 which is arranged between the walls 2. In the exemplary embodiment shown here, the working platform 3 comprises a first level 4, a second level 5 which is arranged below the first level 4, and a third level 6 which is arranged above the first level 4. The levels 4, 5, 6 each extend horizontally between the walls 2 and are designed to allow workers to stand on them in order to carry out work on the walls 2 or the climbing system 1 itself, and/or in order to hold formwork devices, for example.

The first level 4 comprises a horizontal steel girder 8, which is reinforced by a truss structure 9 and which is connected via vertical struts 7 to the third level 6, which also comprises a horizontal steel girder 8. The steel girders 8 themselves are shown here as one-piece components for ease of illustration, but can also be composed of several sections and subcomponents. In particular, the climbing system 1, shown here only in cross-section, can be designed in spatial extent according to a building cross-section of a building to be erected.

The horizontal steel beam 8 of the first level 4 is a core element of the working platform 3. The fixing of the working platform 3 to the walls 2, as described below, is realized via this horizontal steel beam 8 of the first level 4. In particular, at least one support element, as described below, is arranged on at least one side of this horizontal steel beam 8 of the first level 4, which, however, is not visible here. High Loads are transferred to previously constructed wall sections. The second level 5 is connected to the truss structure 9 of the first level 4 via tie rods 10.

In the state of the climbing system 1 shown here, the walls 2 each have a first wall section 11 already erected, which represents a last hardened wall section and, in the state shown, a starting position for climbing. Below the first wall section 11 already erected, there are further wall sections already erected, which will not be discussed in detail here.

Above the already erected first wall section 11, in the state shown here, there is a formwork device 12 comprising a first formwork element 13 and a second formwork element 14, each forming a filling space for a solidifiable building material, for example, concrete. In the state shown here, concrete has already been poured into the filling space. Furthermore, reinforcements 15 are arranged in the walls 2 and can be seen here above the filling space.

The first formwork elements 13 are fastened both directly to the horizontal steel beam 8 of the third level 6 and via the vertical struts 7 to the horizontal steel beam 8 of the first level 4. The second formwork elements 14 are held by means of an external system not shown here. Alternatively, the horizontal steel beam 8 of the third level 6 can also be longer and hold the outer formwork elements 14. Cross connections reaching through the reinforcements 15 form so-called Formwork anchors that counteract the concrete pressure that occurs during concreting.

The climbing system 1 further comprises climbing shoes 16, anchoring shoes 17, and climbing drives 18. Each of these climbing shoes 16, together with at least one of these anchoring shoes, forms a holding device 21. Only one anchoring shoe 17 is shown here for each holding device 21, which is due to the side view shown here. Each climbing shoe 16 can be attached to one or more anchoring shoes 17.

Each anchoring shoe 17 is attached to the already erected first wall section 11 by means of one or more (only one shown here) climbing anchors 19. Figure 1 shows further anchoring shoes 17, which are shown in the dismantled state on the second level 5 and held by a worker.

In the state shown here, the climbing shoes 16 are attached to the anchoring shoes 17 fastened to the wall 2. The climbing drive 18 is attached to the horizontal steel beam 8 of the first level 4 of the work platform 3 by a first drive component, here a piston rod, and to the climbing shoe 16 by a second drive component, here a piston.

The working platform 3 is held in the state of the climbing system shown here by the fixed anchoring shoes 17. For this purpose, the anchoring shoes 17 each have a platform holding device 22 on which the Work platform 3 is deposited. In the exemplary embodiment shown here, the platform holding device 22 is implemented by means of a bar inserted into a recess of the anchoring shoe 17, on which the support elements described below or the horizontal steel beam 8 of the first level 4 of the work platform 3 is directly deposited. Furthermore, the platform holding device 22 of the anchoring shoes 17 can also be designed differently, for example as a flat surface of the anchoring shoe 17 on a side facing the steel beam 8.

The climbing drives 18 shown in Figure 1 are hydraulic climbing drives, each comprising a drive unit 20 mounted on the second level 5 of the work platform 3. Thus, when the climbing system 1 is moved, the drive units 20 can be moved along. The drive units 20 include, for example, control devices, pumps, and hoses, etc. for the climbing drives 18.

Moving the climbing system 1 is enabled by iteratively extending the climbing drives 18, placing the work platform 3 on the platform holding devices 22 of the upper anchoring shoes 17, releasing the climbing shoes 16 from the lower anchoring shoes 17, retracting the climbing drives 18, and fixing the climbing shoes 16 to the upper anchoring shoes 17. For fixing and releasing the climbing shoes 16 to/from the anchoring shoes 17, intermediate levels 23 are attached to the work platform 3 and are arranged between the first level 4 and the second level 5. The design of the work platform 3 with support elements, as shown for example in the following figures, described here and below, additionally enables safe and uncomplicated climbing over steps in the walls 2, which is explained in more detail with reference to the following figures.

The following describes in more detail, by way of example, a support element, a work platform, and a method for using a corresponding support element. These can be used in the climbing system 1 shown in Figure 1. Alternatively, they can also be used in any other climbing system.

In the respective edge regions of the horizontal support 8 of the first level 4 facing the walls 2, support elements 24 are arranged, which are described in more detail with reference to the following figures.

Figure 2 shows a perspective view of a support element 24 according to an embodiment in a first state. Figure 3 shows a longitudinal section through the support element according to Figure 2 in the same state. Figures 2 and 3 show the support element 24 in a fully retracted state. Furthermore, Figures 2 and 3 show the attachment of the support element 24 to the previously described anchoring shoe 17 and to the climbing drive 18, as well as an attachment of the anchoring shoe 17 to a climbing shoe 16.

The support element 24 comprises a first support component 25, a second support component 26, and a third support component 27. The second support component 26 comprises a horizontal support 8 and a vertical strut 7. The horizontal support 8 and the vertical strut 7 are connected to one another by means of a cross element 28. The horizontal support 8 shown here is, for example, a part of the horizontal support 8 of the first level 4 of the work platform 3, as described with reference to Figure 1, or is fastened thereto. The vertical strut 7 is, for example, a part of the vertical strut 7 of the work platform 3, as described with reference to Figure 1, or is fastened thereto.

In the exemplary embodiment shown here, the first support component 25 has two parallel rails 29. The rails 29 extend in the horizontal direction, i.e., perpendicular to a main extension surface of the above-described wall 2, partially along the horizontal support 8. The two rails 29 are connected to one another by means of a first cross connector 30 in a region of the first support component 25 facing the anchoring shoe 17. In a region of the first support component 25 facing away from the anchoring shoe 17, the two rails 29 are connected to one another by means of a second cross connector 31.

In the area of the first support component 25 facing the anchoring shoe 17, the latter further comprises a first fastening device 32, by means of which the support element 24 can be fastened to the anchoring shoe 17. This first fastening device 32 has an opening in each rail 29, which is not visible here, into which opening a bolt 33 is inserted in the state shown here. This bolt 33 is inserted in such a way that the bolt 33 rests on the anchoring shoe 17, more precisely on a Platform holding device 22 of the anchoring shoe 17, in the embodiment shown here, flat surfaces on an upper side of the anchoring shoe 17. This first fastening device 32 enables simple and secure fastening of the support element 24, and thus of an entire work platform connected to the support element 24, to the anchoring shoe 17. In addition, the bolt 33 is designed to be removed when the associated climbing device is moved, so that the support element 24 can easily slide past an anchoring shoe at the end facing the anchoring shoe 17. For this purpose, the rails 29 are spaced apart at the end facing the anchoring shoe 17 in such a way that their mutually facing inner surfaces slide past outer surfaces of the anchoring shoe 17.

In the state shown here, in Figures 2 and 3, the climbing shoe 16 is also fastened to the anchoring shoe 17 by means of a bolt 34. The climbing shoe 16 is also fastened to a piston 35 of the climbing drive 18, which can be seen in particular in Figure 3. Possible embodiments of the anchoring shoe 17, the climbing shoe 16, and the climbing drive 18, as shown here, are disclosed in detail in the German patent applications mentioned above and incorporated by reference. For a more detailed description of these elements and their interaction, reference is made to these references.

The rails 29 further each have a plurality of openings 36 which, in the embodiment shown here, are arranged horizontally at small intervals, i.e. smaller distances between the openings 36 than their respective diameters. The Openings 36 can be seen here in particular in the rail 29 which is located at the front in the plane of the drawing. The openings 36 are aligned perpendicular to a direction of movement of the first support component 25 and perpendicular to a main direction of extension of the vertical strut 7. The openings 36 are provided for fixing the first support component 25 to the second support component 26 by means of at least one bolt 37. For this purpose, in the exemplary embodiment shown here, corresponding openings 38 are arranged on a guide plate 39 which is fastened to the cross element 28 of the second support component 26. The guide plate 39 is fastened to the cross element 28 by means of bolts 40 and has guide tabs 41 which face the rails 29 and on which the rails 29 are guided.

When the bolts 37 are removed, the first support component 25 can be moved relative to the second support component 26. When the bolts 37 are inserted into the described openings 36, 38, the first support component 25 is fixed to the second support component 26.

The third support component 27 is arranged between the cross element 28 and the first fastening device 32 of the first support component 25, as well as between the rails 29.

The third support component 27 has a second fastening device 42, to which the climbing drive 18 is fastened to the third support component 27. The climbing drive 18 is fastened by means of an eyelet 43 and a bolt 44 to an opening provided for this purpose in the third support component 27. The eyelet 43 is fixed to an end of a piston rod 45 of the Climbing drive 18 is fastened. The bolt 44, which connects the eyelet 43 to the corresponding opening, is perpendicular to a main extension direction of the horizontal support 8 and perpendicular to a main extension direction of the vertical strut 7, so that the climbing drive 18 is attached to the third support component 27 so as to be pivotable about the bolt 44, i.e., pivotable in the direction of a wall not shown here.

In the embodiment shown here, the third support component 27 is fastened to the cross element 28 by means of two bolts 46. Furthermore, the third support component 27 has a stop 47 on a side facing the cross element 28, with which the third support component 27 is fixed in the direction of the cross element 28.

The third support component 27 is configured to change its horizontal position, in particular to change its horizontal position in the direction of movement of the first support component. This movement of the third support component 27 is possible when the bolts 46 are loosened.

To move the first and third support components 25, 27, a component drive 48 is attached to the support element 24. This component drive 48 is fastened with a first end to the first cross connector 30 of the first support component 25 and with a second end facing away from the first end to a component drive holder 49 of the third support component 27. The movement of the first and third support components 25, 27 is described in more detail with reference to the following figures. The third support component 27 further comprises two support surfaces 50 on the sides, by means of which the third support component 27 rests on surfaces of the two rails 29. This stabilizes the third support component 27 and guides the third support component 27 along the first support component 25, or the first support component 25 along the third support component 27, depending on whether the first or the third support component 25, 27 is moved.

The support element 24 shown here further comprises two first diagonal connectors 51 and a second diagonal connector 52. The diagonal connectors 51, 52 each have a variable length in that a single or double rail 53 is guided between a double rail 54. The single or double rails 53 and the double rails 54 each have a plurality of openings 55 which can be connected by means of bolts 56, so that the lengths of the diagonal connectors 51, 52 are each fixed when the corresponding bolts 56 are inserted into corresponding openings 55.

The first diagonal connectors 51 are pivotally attached to the first support component 25 and to the second support component 26 by means of additional bolts 57, so that the first diagonal connectors 51 can be pivoted when the first support component 25 is moved. The second diagonal connector 52 is pivotally attached to the third support component 27 and to the second support component 26 by means of additional bolts 57, so that the second diagonal connector 52 can be pivoted when the third support component 27 is moved. The first diagonal connectors 51 are fastened to the first support component 25 in the area facing the anchoring shoe 17, to the rails 29 of the first support component 25, and to the second support component 26 in a region offset downwards relative to the cross element 28, on the vertical strut 7. The second diagonal connector 52 is fastened to the third support component 27 between the second fastening device 42 and the cross element 28, and to the second support component 26 in a region offset downwards relative to the cross element 28, on the vertical strut 7. In the embodiment shown here, the first and second diagonal connectors 51, 52 are each individually fastened to the second support component 26, so that the diagonal connectors 51, 52 can be pivoted independently of one another, in particular the first diagonal connector 51 independently of the second diagonal connector.

Figures 4 to 14 each show a side view (A) and a perspective view (B) of different states of a support element 24 according to an exemplary embodiment during a climbing process. The support element 24 shown here corresponds to the support element 24 described in detail above with reference to Figures 2 and 3. Details that were already described in detail above are not repeated here but apply accordingly.

Figures 4A and 4B show a state of the support element 24 before a step 58 in a wall 2 is climbed over using a climbing system (not shown here) by means of the support element 24. In the state shown here, the first support component 25 and the third support component 27 are fully retracted, i.e., they are secured as close as possible to a work platform to which the support element 24 is attached. The third support component 27 rests against the cross element 28 with the stop 47 described above, and the component drive 48 described above is fully retracted.

Furthermore, the state in Figures 4A and 4B shows a state in which the climbing shoe 16 is attached to the anchoring shoe 17, and the support element 24 is placed on the anchoring shoe 17 by means of the latch 33. The climbing drive 18 is fully retracted.

Figures 5A and 5B show a state in which the climbing drive 18 has been extended. The support element 24 and thus the associated work platform (not shown here) have been moved upward along the wall 2, so that the support element 24 now lies above the step 58.

In order to be able to be fastened again to an anchoring shoe 17 beyond the step 58, the first support component 25 is extended in the direction of the wall 2. This state is shown in Figures 6A and 6B. For the transition from Figures 5A and 5B to 6A and 6B, the bolts 37 were removed and reinserted after the first support component 25 had been moved in order to fix the first support component 25 to the second support component 26 again. The movement of the first support component 25 relative to the second support component 26 was realized by extending the component drive 48. Since the third support component 27 is fixed to the cross element 28 by means of stop 47 and bolt 46 during this movement, the extension of the component drive 48 the first support component 25 in the horizontal direction towards wall 2 .

For this movement of the first support component 25, the bolts 56 were temporarily removed from the first diagonal connectors 51 so that the first diagonal connectors 51 could change their length. Subsequently, the bolts 56 were reinserted to reattach the first diagonal connectors 51 with the changed length, as shown in Figures 6A and 6B.

Figures 7A and 7B show a state in which the support element 24 has been moved further upwards by the climbing drive 18 being extended further. In the state shown here, the first fastening device 32 has passed the next higher anchoring shoe 17. In order to be able to pass the anchoring shoe 17 without problems, the bolt 33 has been removed, which can be seen in particular in Figure 7B. By subsequently pushing in the bolt 33, the support element 24 can then be placed on the upper anchoring shoe 17. This renewed fastening is shown in Figures 8A and 8B.

Up to the state shown in Figures 8A and 8B, the climbing shoe 16 is attached to the lower anchoring shoe 17 located below the step 58. Figures 9A and 9B show the state in which the climbing shoe 16 has been released from the lower anchoring shoe 17 and the climbing drive 18 is retracted.

Figures 10A and 10B show a state in which the climbing drive 18 is still half extended or retracted. In Figures 10A and 10B, however, after the climbing shoe 16 has passed the step 58, a position of the third support component 27 has been changed in the horizontal direction. The third support component 27 has been moved in the horizontal direction relative to the first and second support components 25, 26 in the direction of the wall 2. This movement is made possible by the third support component 27 being released from the cross element 28, i.e. the bolts 46 were removed, and the component drive 48 was retracted. Since the first support component 25 is fixed to the anchoring shoe 17 by means of the first fastening device 32, more precisely by means of the bolt 33, the third support component 27 is moved in the direction of the wall 2 when the component drive 48 is retracted.

Since the second fastening device 42 enables a pivotable fastening of the climbing drive 18 to the third support component 27, the climbing drive 18 can be tilted in the direction of the wall 2 as shown in Figures 10A and 10B.

Furthermore, the length of the second diagonal connector 52 was also increased by moving the third support component 27. This increase is carried out analogously to that of the first diagonal connector 51 and will not be described again here.

Figures 11A and 11B show a state in which the third support component 27 is reattached to the cross element 28. Since the third support component 27 has been moved in the direction of the wall 2, i.e., away from the cross element 28, Figures 11A and 11B show the insertion of an additional support module part 59, by means of which the third support component 27, which was previously moved, is again indirectly secured to the cross element 28 by means of bolts 46 via the carrier module part 59. Figures 11A and 11B show a state in which the component drive 48 has been retracted particularly far, i.e., retracted so far that the carrier module part 59 can be inserted without any problem.

Figures 12A and 12B show a state in which the third support component 27 has been moved slightly away from the wall 2 again by a piecewise extension of the component drive 48. In particular, the component drive 48 has been extended so far, i.e., the third support component 27 has been moved so far in the direction of the cross element 28, that the previously inserted support module part 59 can be fastened by means of the bolts 46. The length of the second diagonal connector 52 is also adjusted for this movement, analogously to that described above.

Furthermore, Figures 12A and 12B show a state in which an end of the climbing drive 18 facing away from the support element 24 has been moved in the direction of the wall 2, also taking into account the repositioning of the third support component 27, so that the climbing drive 18 is again substantially perpendicular, i.e. parallel to the wall 2.

Figures 13A and 13B show a state in which the climbing drive 18 is fully retracted again and the climbing shoe 16 is attached to the anchoring shoe 17 above the step 58.

Analogous to the climbing process described above, climbing can then be carried out again. Since a further extension of the first support component 25 is possible, Further steps leading away from the work platform (not shown here) can be climbed over. Additional support module parts can be inserted analogously to the above description. By retracting the first support component 25 in the direction of the work platform (not shown here) and removing support module parts, a step leading to the work platform can also be climbed over.

Figures 14 and 15 show a perspective view and a plan view of the support element according to Figure 2 in a second state. This second state shows in particular the state after completion of the climbing process described above, i.e. the state as shown in Figures 13A and 13B. In Figures 14 and 15, the bolt 34 for securing the climbing shoe 16 to the anchoring shoe 17 is not shown. However, for a rest position in which the climbing system is fastened to the anchoring shoe 17, this bolt 34 would of course be inserted, as described above. In Figures 14 and 15, the introduced support module part 59 on the third support component 27 and its fastening to the third support component 27 can be seen in particular.

Figure 16 shows an arrangement of support elements 24 for a work platform (not shown here) according to an exemplary embodiment. In the exemplary embodiment shown here, two support elements 24 are shown, as described in detail above. These support elements 24 are designed, as described above, to climb over steps in order to be able to be attached to higher anchoring shoes 17. Figure 16 also shows two further support elements 24' which, however, do not have the above-described design for climbing over steps. These support elements 24' represent simplified support elements 24' which can be attached to anchoring shoes 17 in a wall without any step offset. By means of the support elements 24, 24' shown here and by moving the entire work platform by moving the support elements 24, steps on both sides of the work platform (not shown here) can still be passed.

Figure 16 also shows four carrier module parts 59 ' which can be inserted into the carrier elements 24 like the carrier module part 59 described above.

Figure 17 shows a method for using a carrier element according to an exemplary embodiment. For this method, for example, the carrier element 24, as explained with reference to the previously described figures, is used. However, any other suitable carrier element may also be used.

In a step 101, a first fastening device of a first support component is released from an anchoring shoe and a climbing drive is extended so that the support component exceeds a step in a wall.

In a step 102, the first support component is moved relative to a second and a third support component, wherein the second support component is connected to a working platform of a climbing system and the third support component has a second fastening device to which the climbing drive is fastened. In a step 103, the support element is fastened to an anchoring shoe above the step by means of the first fastening device.

In a step 104, a climbing shoe is released from the anchoring shoe below the step and the climbing drive is at least partially retracted.

In a step 105, a position of the third support component is changed in the horizontal direction, so that the third support component is moved in the direction of the wall, relative to the first and the second support component.

In a step 106, a carrier module part is introduced into the carrier element and the third carrier component is fastened to the second carrier component by means of the carrier module part.

In a step 107, the climbing drive is fully retracted and the climbing shoe is attached to the anchoring shoe above the step.
