Abstract:
1. A scaffolding post made of metal and having a tube and a tube connector formed onto the tube in one piece, the tube connector being tubular, wherein the tube and the tube connector extend in the direction of a longitudinal axis of the scaffolding post and are configured coaxial to the longitudinal axis, wherein the tube has wherein the tube further has wherein the tube connector has a free first tube connector end, a second tube connector end, and a tube connector length, wherein the free first tube connector end and the second tube connector end delimit a tube connector insertion region for insertion of the tube connector into a tube of a second further scaffolding post so that the tube of the second further scaffolding post can be mounted onto the tube connector of the scaffolding post, wherein the tube mounting region of the tube has a tube mounting region length that is essentially equal to wherein the tube connector has an outside tube connector diameter, in the tube connector insertion region, that is smaller than an inside tube diameter of the tube spanned by the tube end section in the tube mounting region of the tube, wherein a stop in the form of a ring-shaped post set-up face surface that runs perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the scaffolding post and around the longitudinal axis is disposed in a transition region between the tube connector and the tube, so that the second further scaffolding post can be mounted onto the scaffolding post, all the way to the stop, in releasable manner, with a radial gap or play, wherein the tube connector furthermore has a tube connector section disposed between the ring-shaped post set-up face surface and the free first tube connector end, wherein the tube connector section has support surfaces for lateral support of the second further scaffolding post, wherein the support surfaces are disposed at a support surface distance from the ring-shaped post set-up face surface, the support surface distance being equal to the effective tube connector length, wherein the effective tube connector length either wherein the tube mounting region of the tube has at least two indentations that extend in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the scaffolding post, in each instance, wherein the at least two indentations are configured with an inside tube cross-section narrowing, in each instance, and are disposed distributed about the longitudinal axis of the scaffolding post, in a circumferential direction, wherein the at least two indentations extend, in the tube mounting region, in each instance, directly proceeding from the ring-shaped tube support face surface, in the direction of the tube connector, continuously over an indentation length, wherein the indentation length wherein the at least two indentations project into the interior of the tube in the tube mounting region and have inner support surfaces for lateral support of the tube on the tube connector of the first further scaffolding post that can be inserted into the tube, and wherein or wherein or wherein or wherein having an outside tube diameter that is essentially equal to the maximal outside tube diameter spanned by the tube end section, and making a transition into the ring-shaped post set-up face surface, in the direction of the free first tube connector end, directly, either essentially with a sharp edge, by way of a ring-shaped edge, or rounded at a transition radius.
