The object of the invention is a holder for holding an object on a formwork panel, in particular for holding a railing component on a ceiling formwork panel, wherein the holder is configured for being affixed to the formwork panel, and the formwork panel has two longitudinal edge supports and two transverse edge supports.
Holders that are configured on a ceiling formwork panel for holding a railing component are known. The known holders are rather heavy, complicated constructions. Transport of the holder to the location of the construction site, where it is to be affixed to the formwork panel, is accordingly complicated.
The problem addressed by the invention is that of providing an improved holder for holding an object on a formwork panel.
This problem is solved by a holder for holding an object on a formwork panel, in particular for holding a railing component on a ceiling formwork panel, wherein the holder is configured for being affixed to the formwork panel, and the formwork panel has two longitudinal edge supports and two transverse edge supports, characterized in that the holder has a first arm that is configured for engaging with a longitudinal edge support of the formwork panel and a second arm that extends transverse to the first arm, forms an angle space together with the first arm, and is configured for engaging with a transverse edge support, wherein the first arm has a first projection for being introduced into an opening of the longitudinal edge support on its side facing the angle space, and the second arm has a second projection for being introduced into an opening of the transverse edge support on its side facing the angle space; and that the holder has a movement mechanism with which the projection of one of the two arms can be moved in the direction toward the other of the two arms, so as to tighten the holder.
According to the invention, a holder is proposed for holding an object on a formwork panel, in particular for holding a railing component on a ceiling formwork panel, wherein the holder is configured for being affixed to the formwork panel, and the formwork panel has two longitudinal edge supports and two transverse edge supports, wherein the holder has a first arm that is configured for engaging with a longitudinal edge support of the formwork panel, and a second arm that extends transverse to the first arm, forms an angle space together with the first arm, and is configured for engaging with a transverse edge support, wherein the first arm has a first projection for being introduced into an opening of the longitudinal edge support on its side facing the angle space, and the second arm has a second projection for being introduced into an opening of the transverse edge support on its side facing the angle space; and wherein the holder has a movement mechanism with which the projection of one of the two arms can be moved in the direction toward the other of the two arms, so as to tighten the holder.
In comparison, the holder according to the invention is a comparatively light, inexpensive product having a simple structure. The holder according to the invention can be easily transported from place to place at the construction site, and can be installed very easily, even by just one person. For affixing the holder to a formwork panel, first one of the two arms can be set onto one of the edge supports of the formwork panel. Afterward, the other arm can be set onto the other edge support of the formwork panel, which support runs toward the same corner of the formwork panel as the previously mentioned edge support. This can be done by means of a pivoting movement of the holder. Alternatively, this can be done by means of activating the movement mechanism. Affixing the holder is concluded in that the movement mechanism is tightened, whereby at least in the case of one arm, the projection is tightened against the outer edge of the opening into which the projection has been introduced.
The holder according to the invention can additionally be characterized in that the movement mechanism is configured in such a manner that the projection of the said one arm can be moved relative to this one arm, using the mechanism, or can be configured in such a manner that the said one arm can be moved together with the projection, using the mechanism.
The holder according to the invention, as it is disclosed in the previous part of the description, can additionally be characterized in that the projection of the said one arm and/or the projection of the other arm is/are configured as a rear engagement projection, for engaging behind the edge of the opening into which it is introduced. Using this measure, the affixing process is particularly simple, because the rear engagement projection, which has already been brought partway into the rear engagement position, leads to the result that the holder can no longer drop away from the formwork there, and therefore can be held more easily until the movement mechanism has been tightened completely. Furthermore, a rear engagement projection increases the security of engagement with the relevant edge support of the formwork panel.
The holder according to the invention, as it has been disclosed in the previous part of the description, can additionally be characterized in that at least one of the two arms has a further projection for engaging with the relevant edge support, wherein the projection of this arm, mentioned in the first paragraph, and the further projection of this arm are provided at longitudinal positions of this arm that are spaced apart from one another. With this configuration, torque support of this arm in the affixed state is achieved. Torques that attempt to rotate this arm relative to the assigned edge support of the formwork panel are effectively carried away.
The further projection can be provided for being introduced into an opening of this arm, wherein this opening is simultaneously the opening of this arm mentioned in the first paragraph or a further opening of this arm. If this opening is simultaneously the opening mentioned in the first paragraph, it must have such a length that the projection mentioned in the first paragraph and the further projection can both be introduced into this opening. It is pointed out that other possibilities of creating torque support also exist. In one embodiment of the invention, the further projection is a projection that lies against the lower edge of the relevant edge support.
The holder according to the invention, as it has been disclosed in the previous part of the description, can additionally be characterized in that the first projection and/or the second projection has/have a region on its side facing away from the free end of the relevant arm, in such a manner that this region is at least roughly adapted to the outer edge of the opening into which it is to be introduced. In this manner, the surface pressure between the relevant projection and the outer edge of the opening into which the projection is to be introduced can be reduced. This also reduces wear at this location. The said region can be rounded off, and the counter-region of the opening can be rounded off.
There are embodiments of the holder in which the movement mechanism is a screw-thread mechanism or a wedge mechanism. These mechanisms are uncomplicated and can be easily activated by the person working them. In the following, in the example section of the description, concrete movement mechanisms of this type will be shown and described.
The holder according to the invention, as it has been disclosed in the previous part of the description, can additionally be characterized in that the arm, which can be moved by means of the movement mechanism, is connected with the remainder of the holder by way of a slanted-surface guide, in such a manner that tightening of the movement mechanism additionally forces this arm to perform a movement that is directed transverse to the longitudinal expanse direction of this arm. In this manner, the projections of the two arms mentioned in the first paragraph are both automatically tightened in the direction toward the angle vertex of the holder when the movement mechanism is tightened. This results in particularly convenient affixing of the holder, in particular if both said projections are configured as rear engagement projections.
The first arm and the second arm can be tubular over the majority of their length, preferably in the form of a square tube.
The holder according to the invention can have a railing post or a device for affixing a railing post integrated into it. In this way, a railing can be affixed to a ceiling formwork panel in an extremely simple manner.
A further object of the invention is a railing arrangement on a ceiling formwork, characterized in that it has at least one railing holder as it has been disclosed in the previous part of the description, and multiple securing elements having a longitudinal expanse one on top of the other. Guard rails, intermediate rails, and so-called toe boards are mentioned as concrete securing elements; see also the exemplary embodiments below. The railing arrangement can have multiple railing holders according to the invention, wherein in most cases, the securing elements span at least the distance between two adjacent railing holders.
The railing arrangement according to the invention can additionally be characterized in that the at least one railing holder has a tubular component into which a railing post is pushed with part of its length, and that at least a partial number of the securing elements is held on the railing post. In this way, the holder according to the invention makes very convenient assembly of the railing possible, for one thing, but still remains a light product that is easy to handle.
A typical field of use for the holder according to the invention is fastening a railing along the edge of a ceiling formwork. After the forms for a concrete ceiling to be poured have been put in place (i.e. the ceiling formwork panels for the ceiling have been set up on formwork supports), a railing must normally be set up along the edge of the ceiling formwork so that persons working on the ceiling formwork can work without danger, for example when installing steel reinforcement mats. However, the holder according to the invention can also be used for other purposes. An example that can be mentioned is the possibility of holding a rotating deflection roller for a pull rope at a formwork panel corner. Then a filled bucket of mortar can be pulled upward to a higher level of the building under construction, using the pull rope deflected up there. A further example is holding tarps that hang down vertically from the building edge as wind protection.
A further object of the invention is an arrangement that has a formwork panel having two longitudinal edge supports and two transverse edge supports,
characterized in that the arrangement furthermore has a holder affixed on it, as it has been described in the previous part of the description.
The formwork panel mentioned in connection with the invention can be a formwork panel for pouring concrete. However, the term “formwork panel” is also supposed to comprise other formwork panels, for example those for supporting earth banks and those for underpinning areas for repair work below a building ceiling.
The invention and more specific embodiments of the invention will be explained in greater detail below, using exemplary embodiments shown in drawings. These show:
When the terms “bottom/below” and “top/above” are used in the following, this relates to a spatial position of the holder in which its two arms lie in a horizontal plane.
The holder 2 shown in
The holder 2 furthermore has a railing holder 12 arranged at a right angle to the common plane of the first arm 4 and the second arm 6. The vertex-side end face of the first arm 4 stands against a side surface 14 of the railing holder 12 in the end region of the railing holder 12, which is the bottom end region in
The three said components 4, 6, 12 are welded to one another to form a stable unit. If one lays the holder 2 down onto a level substrate with the undersides 20 and 22 of the two arms 4 and 6, respectively, and with the lower end face 22 of the railing holder 12, the said two undersides 20 and the said lower end face 22 lie in a common plane.
The second arm 6 has a second projection 36 in the region of its free end 32 on the side 28 that faces the angle space 8 (i.e. the end at a distance from the vertex 10), which projects away there as compared with the remainder of the second arm 6. The second projection 36 is part of an element 37 that is angular, in total, and has been produced separately and then welded onto the second arm 6. In the case of the second projection 36, it is possible to distinguish a first region 40 directly next to the side surface 28 of the second arm 6, and a second region 42 that is at a distance from the side surface 28 of the second arm 6. The first region 40 has the shape of an essentially semicircular plate, the circumferential edge surface 44 of which is essentially rounded in the form of a semicircle on the side facing the vertex 10 or the side facing away from the free end 32. The second region 42 is also plate-shaped, and parallel to the side surface 28 of the second arm 6 for part of its length, measured in the longitudinal direction of the second arm 6, wherein there, the clear distance between the second region 42 and the side surface 28 of the second arm 6 corresponds to the thickness of the plate-shaped first region 40. The second region 42 goes beyond the first region 40 of the projection 36 in its end region 43 that faces the vertex 10, so that the second region 42 can engage behind part of the outer edge of an opening in an edge support of a formwork panel with this end region, as will be described in greater detail below. The end region 43 is set at a slight slant relative to the side surface 28 of the second arm 6, so that the clear distance from the side surface 28 is slightly greater, at the end of the end region 43, than the thickness of the first region.
In the region of the free end 30 (i.e. the end farther away from the vertex 10) of the first arm 4, a first projection 34 is provided, which is configured, in principle, very similar to the second projection 36 that has already been described, and also possesses a first region 40, a second region 42, and an end region 43. The first projection 34 is also part of a separately produced element 35, but this element is not welded onto the first arm 4 at the free end 30. Instead, the element 35 is a separate component that is built in so as to move relative to the first arm 4, in the longitudinal direction of this arm. For this purpose, there is a guide between the first arm 4 and the element 35, which cannot be explicitly seen in
Furthermore, it can be seen in

For the sake of brevity, only the term “panel 60” will be used in the following instead of the term “formwork panel 60.”
In
The frame 82 of the panel 60 essentially consists of two longitudinal edge supports 64, two transverse edge supports 66, and a number of transverse intermediate supports 68. These components are welded to one another.
In
At some distance from each frame corner 80, each longitudinal edge support 64 has an elongated opening 70 that passes through it. Each transverse edge support 66 also has an elongated opening 72 that passes through it at some distance from each frame corner 80. To state it more precisely, the openings 70 and 72 are each situated in the crosspiece of the relevant edge support 64 or 66, in terms of height between a front widened region of the relevant edge support 64 or 66, on the formwork shell side, and a rear widened region of the relevant edge support 64 or 66. The openings 70 and 72 have the same shape. This shape can be described as having an essentially straight-line delimitation in the lower region in
In
In
It can furthermore be seen that the two arms 4 and 6 lie against the outer side of the crosspiece 78 of the relevant edge support 64 or 66 with their inner sides 26 and 28, over their full area. Thereby the holder 2 has a very firm hold on the panel 60, for one thing, and for another brings about reinforcement of the panel 60 in that corner region where it is affixed to the panel 60.
For affixing the holder 2 to the corner region of a panel 60, first the first projection 34 of the first arm 4 is “moved out,” in other words moved in the direction away from the vertex 10 by means of the threaded rod 50. Then the second arm 6 is moved toward the transverse edge support 66 in a slanted position (in which the vertex 10 is at a slight distance from the corner 80 of the frame 82 of the panel 60), leading with the second projection 36. The second projection 36 is introduced into the opening 72 to such an extent that the second region 42 of the second projection 36 comes into a position on the inside of the crosspiece 78 of the transverse edge support 66. Now the second arm 6 is displaced in terms of its longitudinal direction or in the longitudinal direction of the transverse edge support 66, while at the same time, the vertex 10 is moved to pivot relative to the corner 80 of the frame 82 of the panel 60. During this movement, the further projection 56 gets into the further opening 76. The rear engagement region 43 of the second projection 36 is now situated on the inside of the material of the crosspiece 78, next to the opening 72, as can be seen in
During the course of the movement of the vertex 10 to the corner 80 of the frame 82, the first projection 34 and the further projection 54 go into the openings 70 and 74 of the longitudinal edge support 64. Now the nut 52 is tightened, and thereby the first projection 34 is pulled in the direction toward the vertex 10. The end region 43 of the second region 42 of the first projection 34 comes into the rear engagement position shown in
The further projections 54 and 56 bring about torque support on both arms 4 and 6 in combination with the first projection 34 and the second projection 36. If, for example in
Alternative to the exemplary embodiment of
It should be emphasized that the further projections 54 and 56 do not necessarily have to be provided. After all, the first arm 4 and the second arm 6 are captured, so to speak, between the upper and lower widened regions of the edge supports 64 and 66 described above. Furthermore, the railing holder 12 for the height of the frame 82 lies against the relevant transverse edge support 66. It is thereby possible to leave out only one of the further projections 54 and 56 or even both further projections 54 and 56.
Furthermore, it should be emphasized that embodiments of the holder 2 are possible, in which the first projection 34 and/or the second projection 36 are configured without a rear engagement region 43. In this regard, it is possible to structure the first region 40 to be slightly thicker than in
If only the first projection 34, for example, has a rear engagement region 43, but the second projection 36 is configured without a rear engagement region 43, the method of procedure can be as follows in affixing the holder 2 to the panel 60, for example: The first projection 34 is “moved out,” as described above. The first arm 4 is laid against the outer side of an edge support 64 or 66, wherein the first projection 34 comes into the opening 70 and the further projection 54 comes into the opening 74. In this phase, the second arm 6 is situated parallel to the other edge support 66 or 64, wherein, however, its inner side 28 is still removed from the crosspiece 78 of the other edge support 66 or 64 at least for the thickness of the second projection 36 and for the thickness of the further projection 56 (because otherwise, it would not be at all possible to bring the first arm 4 against the outer side of the edge support 64 or 66). Now the first projection 34 is moved in the direction toward the second arm 6 or in the direction toward the vertex 10 by means of the movement mechanism, threaded rod 50 and nut 52, until its first region 40 comes against the region of the opening outer edge that is close to the vertex, and its rear engagement region 43 comes into the rear engagement position. By means of this activation of the movement mechanism, the second arm 6 is simultaneously pulled against the other edge support 66 or 64, making contact, wherein its projections 36 and 56 come into the openings 72 and 76.
If both the first projection 34 and the second projection 36 are configured without a rear engagement region 43, affixing the holder 2 to the panel 60 can be carried out in the same manner as described in the preceding paragraph.

By means of the slanted-surface guide 84 that is shown and described, a movement of the arm 4 in the longitudinal direction of the second arm 6 or transverse to the longitudinal expanse of the first arm 4 necessarily accompanies this longitudinal movement of the first arm 4. By tightening the nut 52, therefore both the first projection 34 and the second projection 36 are moved in the direction toward the vertex 10. Therefore affixing the holder 2 to the panel 60 is facilitated.
