Abstract (en)

A joint for installation of scaffolding tubes, comprises a first (2) and a second (5) body, each divided into a first (3, 6) and a second (4, 7) half for engaging two tubes (100, 101) of the scaffold, clamping means (8) acting between the first (3, 6) and second (4, 7) halves for moving them close to each other thus clamping the scaffolding tubes. The clamping means (8) comprises at least two wedge-shaped bodies (9, 10) that are slidable within respective slots (11, 12), for acting on the second half (4, 7) and achieving a plurality of approached positions of the second half (4, 7) relative to the first one (3, 6) depending on the penetration degree of the wedge-shaped body (9, 10) into the slot (11, 12). Each slot (11, 12) and each wedge-shaped body (9, 10) are movable for obtaining at least two distinct insertion ways of the wedge-shaped body relative to the respective second half.
