Abstract:
Dismantlable facade scaffold comprising at least four vertical supports consisting of individual support elements and floor plates and railing elements which can be mounted thereon story-wise, wherein at least some of the support elements have mounting locations for the floor plates and for the railing elements respectively, wherein, when the scaffold is erected, at least one attachment position of a first support element provided for a railing clement is located above a fastening position of the first support element provided for a floor plate and the railing element, starting from an already finished story and in an inclined state with one end at the attachment position of a second support element already belonging to a next story, can be swung vertically about at least one axis extending substantially horizontally through the attachment position for fixation to the first and second support elements while in a substantially horizontal orientation, wherein the support elements are separable from one another directly above the attachment position of an uppermost railing element of each story and another end of the railing element is pivotally connected to an upper attachment position of a second support element and can be moved by means of the second support element into its final horizontal position, whereupon the second support element is placed onto the associated support element of the already finished story, wherein the railing elements can be suspended in the inclined state at the attachment positions of the support elements, a device preventing an unintentional release of the railing elements from the attachment positions comprising a projection piece extending substantially perpendicular to the support element and fixedly connected thereto and a lug provided at an end region of the railing element which is capable of being coupled to the projection piece, and wherein the lug can be pushed onto the projection piece by a substantially linear movement when the support element and the railing element are inclined with respect to each other by an angle smaller than 60Â°.
