A support system

Description

[0001] THE PRESENT INVENTION relates to a support system and more particularly relates to a support system adapted to support falsework. In particular the support system is of the type known as a frame support system.

[0002] When constructing buildings or the like it is common practice to erect a form which effectively defines a mould onto which liquid concrete may be poured. Appropriate reinforcements may be present as the concrete sets, and the concrete, as it sets, is retained in a desired position by the form. Consequently the concrete sets or cures to constitute a reinforced concrete structure that comprises part of the building being constructed.

[0003] Most buildings of this type consist of flat floors with appropriate reinforced concreted beams. However, this type of falsework may be utilised in the construction of buildings of many different designs.

[0004] Whilst falsework of the type described above may be supported by simple props, in recent years it has been more common to utilise a support system that incorporates a number of frames. Typically these frames are pre-fabricated, being welded together from appropriate components. Typically the frames will all have a constant width, so that they can readily be assembled one on top of the other, but the frames may come in a number of different heights. This enables a selected number of frames of different sizes to be assembled together to support the falsework at any desired height above the floor. Adjustable screwjacks are provided either at the bottom or at the top of the frames, or possibly both at the bottom and at the top, to enable fine adjustments to be made. Also, of course, the screwjacks enable the falsework to be lowered down from the concrete when the concrete has been cured.

[0005] It is now conventional for frames of this type to be assembled in rows, with the frames being linked together by cross braces. However, linkbars or diagonals may be used to link the frames together, and the frames may be built to form square towers.

[0006] In order to achieve frame stiffness in the frame systems presently utilised, it is conventional for such frames to have welded-in diagonals. It is costly to provide such welded-in diagonals, and these diagonals constitute an obstacle which prevent people passing through the frames at various levels.

[0007] Since, in most cases, a heavy load has to be supported by the falsework support arrangement, heavy duty frames have to be provided. However, since the frames have to be moved into position by hand, it is preferred that each frame should be of only a moderate weight. Thus the designer of the frames is faced with conflicting requirements.

[0008] For many years, steel frames were utilised to provide the requisite strength, but these frames were found to be very heavy. Recently frames formed of aluminium alloy components which have been welded together have been utilised, in order to provide frames which are lighter. However, such frames are more costly than the steel frames, and also the alloy frames have been found to be very prone to damage.

[0009] It is to be understood that if a screwjack is to be freely movable within a circular tube, the tube must be free of all dents. Thus, if an alloy tube which accommodates a screw jack does become dented it is necessary either to repair the frame, or to replace it.

[0010] It has been found that due to the rough handling that frames of this type received on a building site, a lot of repair and maintenance of the frames is required. Maintaining the aluminium frames can be very difficult, and also, because of problems arising from metal fatigue, it is sometimes dangerous to utilise a frame that has been repaired. Also, by repeatedly welding components to the frame, the safe load carrying capacity of the frame is reduced.

[0011] EP-0048624 discloses a light-weight frame made of aluminium. Such a frame has hollow vertical tubes which are inter-connected by cross members, which are welded to the tube. Various cross braces are provided, but all the cross braces connected to each particular tube lie substantially in a single vertical plane. All the cross bracing thus extends only in one direction relative to the vertical tube. Consequently, when a bay is made consisting of two spaced apart frames inter-connected by the cross bracing, the cross members of the frame define two opposed sides of the bay and the cross bracing defines the other two opposed sides of the bay.

[0012] EP-0049096 discloses a further aluminium frame for supporting a falsework system. The frame consists of two vertical legs inter-connected by a plurality of horizontal transoms. Each transom has, at each end thereof, a vertical connecting element, the vertical connecting element being releasably connected, at two points, spaced apart in the vertical direction, to a respective leg of the frame. The frame is also provided with cross braces which are connected to other connecting elements fixed on the legs. The cross braces attached to any one leg all extend in a single vertical plane, and thus again when a bay is created from two frames in the associated cross braces, the cross members of the frames comprise one opposed pair of sides of the bay, and the cross braces provide the other opposed pair of sides of the bay. When a large structure is to be created, it is desirable for the cross bracing to extend in various directions, and the present invention therefore seeks to provide an improved frame for a falsework support system.

[0013] According to this invention there is provided a frame for a falsework support system, said frame comprising two vertical legs inter-connected by a plurality of horizontal transoms wherein each transom has, at each end thereof, a vertical connecting element, the vertical connecting element being releasably connected, at two points spaced apart in the vertical direction, to a respective leg of the frame, wherein each vertical connecting element provided at the end of each transom is provided with a first means adapted releasably to receive a brace or the like, and wherein the frame is also provided with a brace mounting element detachably mounted in position on each end of a transom, and provided with second means to releasably receive a second brace, or the like, the two brace receiving means extending orthogonally.

[0014] Preferably each vertical connecting element is in the form of a plate, the plate being connected to the respective leg by means of bolts. The plate may be a flat plate or a plate with a specially shaped cross-section so that the plate can snugly abut the respective leg. Each leg may be a hollow tubular form, each bolt having its head located within the hollow leg, the interior of the leg defining at least one recess adjacent the exterior wall of the tube, the recess being dimensioned to receive the heads of said bolts, rotation of the bolts thus being prevented.

[0015] Conveniently the configuration of the tube is such that the portion of the tube defining the recess is located beyond a circle having a predetermined radius and having a centre coincident with the axis of the tube, the circle representing a free unobstructed space within the tube.

[0016] Preferably the outer periphery of the tube is of substantially octagonal form, at least one face of the tube being associated with the inwardly directed projections which define said recess.

[0017] In an alternative embodiment the tube is of substantially circular configuration having at least one radially outwardly extending projection defining said recesses.

[0018] Preferably one or more additional structural elements are each clamped to any one of the projections or between adjacent projections present on one or more legs of the frame.

[0019] Advantageously the frame may be provided with one or more screw jacks at the bottom and/or at the top of each leg.

[0020] Preferably the frame may be provided with means to connect the frame to a similar frame mounted above the said frame.

[0021] Conveniently said retaining means comprise a pivoted locking lever mounted in an axial slot or recess formed in the spigot.

[0022] Preferably the retaining means comprise a nut, the exterior of the spigot being threaded to receive said nut.

[0023] The invention also relates to a falsework support assembly comprising a plurality of frames as described above.

[0024] In order that the invention may be more readily understood, and so that further features thereof may be appreciated, the invention will now be described, by way of example, with reference to the accompanying drawings in which:

[0025] Figure 1 is an elevational view of a frame;

[0026] Figure 2 is a cross-sectional view of the upright member utilised in fabricating the frame of Figure 1;

[0027] Figure 3 is an enlarged view showing the junction between the upright member of Figure 1 and a transom;

[0028] Figure 4 is a view corresponding to Figure 3 showing an additional brace lock;

[0029] Figure 5 illustrates a modified brace lock;

[0030] Figure 6 illustrates a support arrangement incorporating the frames of Figure 1;

[0031] Figure 7 is a front view of the further support arrangement incorporating the frames of Figure 1;

[0032] Figure 8 is a side view of the support arrangement shown in Figure 7;

[0033] Figure 9 is a front view of another support arrangement incorporating the frames of Figure 1, and

[0034] Figure 10 is a side view of the support arrangement of Figure 9.

[0035] Referring now to Figure 1 of the accompanying drawings a frame assembly 1 comprises two upright members or legs 2, 3. Interconnecting the legs are an upper horizontal transom 4 and a lower horizontal transom 5.

[0036] Each leg 2, 3 is formed of a strong alloy, and has a hollow cross-section as illustrated in Figure 2.

[0037] The leg 2 has an outer octagonal peripheral portion 6, four orthogonal faces of which are provided with inwardly directed protrusions 7, 8, the protrusions on each face defining between them a recess or channel 9. The recess or channel 9 is dimensioned to receive snugly the head 10 of a bolt 11 which can pass through an aperture 12 formed at an appropriate location in the outer wall 6 of the leg 2. The dimension of the channel 9 is such that the head 10 of the bolt cannot rotate when it is in position.

[0038] The bolt is adapted to receive a nut 14 utilised to secure a transom 5, in position, as will be described hereinafter.

[0039] The inwardly directed projections 7, 8 terminate with outwardly directed arcuate flanges 15, 16 which serve to define a central circular area 17 which is clear of all obstruction, the periphery 18 of the circular area being of such a size that a screwjack can readily be received within the central area 17 of the tube.

[0040] It is to be appreciated that the inwardly directed projections 7, 8 and the lips 15, 16 can engage the engagement portion of a screwjack whilst permitting the elongate screw portion of the jack to move freely within the tube. If the tubular leg 2 is subjected to a knock and is thus dented, it is unlikely that the dent will extend into the central area 17 of the tube, and thus even if the leg is dented it will still be possible to utilise the leg in a satisfactory manner with the screwjack.

[0041] Each of the horizontal transoms 4, 5, terminates with a vertical end plate, the plate being designed to form a stiff node between the transom and the leg. The end plate 19 provided at one end of the transom 5 is illustrated in Figure 3. The end plate 19 is a vertical plate securely welded to the end of the horizontal transom 5, and maintained securely in position by means of triangular reinforcing webs 20, 21.

[0042] The vertical plate 19 (as can be seen from Figure 2) has a configuration such that the plate can be brought firmly into engagement with one of the said orthogonal faces of the leg 2, the plate having peripheral lips which abut the next two adjacent faces of the octagonal leg.

[0043] The plate 19 is secured firmly to the leg 2 by means of two bolts 11, as shown in Figure 2, and associated nuts 14. In connecting the plate 19 to the leg 2 the bolts are passed manually down in the interior of the leg 2 and are located in pre-formed apertures 12 in the walls of the leg 2. The plate 19 is then mounted in position, with the bolts passing through appropriate apertures formed in the plate 19, and the nuts 14 are then located in position and tightened.

[0044] Welded to the plate 19 is a projecting spigot 22 which has a locking lever 23 pivotally mounted in an axial slot formed in the spigot 22. The locking lever 23 may move pivotally from a totally retracted position to a position in which it projects from the spigot as shown.

[0045] A bolt hole 24 is provided in the end of the horizontal transom 5, the hole 24 exending horizontally and being located in the region of the transom 5 that is reinforced by the reinforcing webs 20, 21.

[0046] It will be understood that a frame of the type described will be very rigid, by virtue of the fact that the vertical plates 19 provided at the ends of the transoms 4, 5 are each securely connected to the adjacent upright or leg 2, 3 at two spaced positions. Thus the frame will be relatively stiff and will resist any attempt to make the frame "lozenge".

[0047] It will be appreciated that frames of the type described may have screwjacks mounted in the lower ends of the vertical legs 2 or in the upper ends of the vertical legs 2. Since the frames are fabricated from components which are bolted together if any one component becomes damaged, it is possible to unbolt that component to facilitate the repair of the component, or to replace the damaged component with a new component. Whilst the legs 2 and 3 may be formed of an appropriate alloy, each transom may be formed of tubular steel, and may therefore be formed of conventional scaffolding tube. This enables conventional scaffolding couplers to be utilised to connect conventional scaffolding components to the transoms.

[0048] It will be understood that frames as described above may easily be fabricated with transoms of any appropriate length. Thus it may be possible to have available relatively narrow frames, with short transoms, or relatively wide frames, with longer transoms.

[0049] Frames as described may be interconnected by link bars or the like. Each link bar may be provided with means at the ends thereof adapted to be mounted on the spigots 22. As the link bar is mounted on a spigot 22 the locking lever 23 will be pivoted upwardly into the retracted position in which it is received in the axial slot to permit the link bar to be mounted on the spigot and the locking lever will subsequently return to a depending position in which a free end of the locking lever 23 projects downwardly out of the axial slot thus preventing the link bar from being inadvertently disengaged from the spigot 22.

[0050] Figure 4 illustrates a detachable brace connector 25 which has arcuate horizontal arm 26 having an aperture through which passes a bolt 27 which also passes through the bolt hole 24 provided at the end of the transom 5. The bolt thus secures the horiozontal arm 26 in position, the arm 26 being configured so that it lies immediately adjacent the outer periphery of the octagonal leg 2. The arm 26 supports a vertical plate 28 having a configuration similar to the configuration of the plate 19. Thus the plate 28 has a main portion lying adjacent one face of the octagonal leg 2, and also has, at each side thereof, inclined flanges lying adjacent the next two adjacent faces of the octagonal leg.

[0051] At the upper end of the plate 25 is provided a protruding spigot 29 having the same configuration of the spigot 22, the spigot 29 thus having a depending locking lever 30 corresponding to the locking lever 23. The spigot 29 extends orthogonally relative to the spigot 22 as can be seen in Figure 4. It can be seen that a diagonal element 31, of tubular form, having a flattened end region 32 defining an aperture 33 can be mounted on the spigot 29, and can be retained in position by means of the locking lever 30. The diagonal element 31 may be telescopic, and extends diagonally across the frame, as shown in phantom in Figure 1.

[0052] Additional bracing elements may also be mounted on the spigot, the additional bracing elements extending in the directions indicated by the lines 33, 34 or 35, for example. Of course, the design of the bracing arrangement utilised in any particular situation is thin the ability of the man skilled in the art.

[0053] Figure 5 illustrates a modified spigot 36 which may be in the position of the spigot 22 described above or which may be in the position of the spigot 29 described above. The spigot 36 is mounted on a plate 37 (equivalent to the plate 19 or to the plate 25). The spigot is provided with a pivoted locking lever 38 (equivalent to the pivoted locking lever 23 or 30) and mounted on the spigot are a plurality of bracing elements 39. The bracing elements have flattened ends so that they fit snugly adjacent one another. In this embodiment of the invention the exterior of the spigot 36 is threaded, as at 40, and a wing nut 41 may be mounted on the spigot. The wing nut may thus be tightened against the flattened ends of the bracing members 39, thus providing a secure connection.

[0054] It will be appreciated that in utilising the embodiment of Figure 5, if a temporary structure is to be erected, the bracing elements may be mounted on the spigot 36 and may be retained by the locking lever 40. However, if a structure of a more permanent nature is to be erected, a wing nut 41 can be threadedly engaged with the threaded exterior 40 of the spigot 36 and may be tightened against the flattened ends of the bracing members.

[0055] Figure 6 illustrates a scaffolding arrangement incorporating frames in accordance with the invention. A frame 1, as described above, is provided with screwjacks 42, 43 which project downwardly from beneath the frame, the screwjacks 42, 43 being associated with base plates 44, 45 which rest on the ground.

[0056] At the top of the frame two further screwjacks 46, 47 are provided which extend upwardly above the frame, these screwjacks being associated with head plates 48, 49 which support beams 50 upon which the falsework rests. The screwjacks and the beams may be of a conventional design.

[0057] Whilst the frame 1 is illustrated as having a specific size, by selecting the length of the transoms 4 and 5 appropriately the frame 1 could be smaller, as indicated at 51, or larger, as indicated at 52. Appropriate diagonal reinforcing elements may be provided if desired.

[0058] Figure 6 illustrates that in a falsework support system incorporating frames as shown in Figure 1 it is possible to utilise a single prop 53 constituted by a tubular element 54 having same cross section as one of the legs of the frame. The prop is provided with appropriate screwjacks 55, 56.

[0059] The frame 57 shown to the right hand of Figure 6 illustrates how frames as shown in Figure 1 may be interconnected by means of linking means comprising scaffolding tubes 58 connected to the transoms 4, 5 of the frame by means of conventional scaffolding fittings. It will thus be appreciated that the frames are very versatile and permit the assembly of many different arrangements of support frame work.

[0060] Figures 7 and 8 illustrate one frame work support assembly made from frames as shown in Figure 1. It can be seen that in this assembly a plurality of frames 1 are mounted one above the other. The frames are interconnected by means of connectors 59 and connecting pins 60 which are conventional items known in the art.

[0061] In the arrangement illustrated in Figure 7 there are three sets of frames 1 which are spaced apart by appropriate distances. The various sets of frames may be interconnected by means of horizontal linkbars 61, which may be connected to appropriate detachable brace connector 25, as illustrated in Figure 4. Additionally diagonal braces 62 may be provided, if the load requires such diagonal braces to be provided. Plan bracing may also be provided, if required. The structure is illustrated supporting primary beams 63 and secondary beams 64, as is conventional.

[0062] As can be seen from Figure 8 a plurality of rows 65 of frames may be provided, and the frames of the rows may be interconnected by horizontal link bars 66 and/or cross braces and/or by diagonal lacing 67. The structure illustrated in Figures 7 and 8 may be termed a "bird cage" frame support arrangement.

[0063] Figures 9 and 10 illustrate an arrangement in which four rows 68 of frames are provided, the spacing between the rows being non-uniform. As can be seen from Figure 10 each row 68 consists of two pairs of superimposed frames 1. The frames in the rows are interconnected by a horizontal scaffolding tube 69 which are connected by means of appropriate connector 70, which may be a conventional scaffold coupler to the transoms of the frames 1. Again diagonal bracing 71 can be provided if required. This diagonal bracing may be formed from integral one-piece diagonal braces, or from telescopic braces, the braces being connected to a detachable brace connector. Alternatively the diagonal braces may comprise convention scaffold tubes connected to the horizontal transoms by conventional fittings.
