Abstract

An assembly consisting of a climbing rail and a climbing lift rail, which can be moved relative to the climbing rail and is guided by the climbing rail, for a rail-guided climbing system which can be used in particular as a climbing formwork, a climbing frame, a climbing protection wall, and/or a climbing working platform and which comprises climbing shoes that can be arranged on a building structure in a stationary manner and a lifting device that is fixed to the climbing rail at one end and to the climbing lift rail at the other end.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. An assembly comprising of a climbing rail and a climbing lift rail, which can be moved relative to the climbing rail and is guided by the climbing rail, for a rail-guided climbing system usable as a climbing formwork, a climbing frame, a climbing protection wall, and/or a climbing working platform, wherein the rail-guided climbing system comprises climbing shoes that can be arranged on a building structure in a stationary manner and a lifting device having one end that is fixed to the climbing rail and an other end that is fixed to the climbing lift rail, wherein the climbing rail is guided by the climbing shoes, wherein the climbing rail and the climbing lift rail can each be suspended on at least one of the climbing shoes in the direction opposite a climbing direction and unhooked from the at least one of the climbing shoes in the climbing direction and moved relative to the at least one of the climbing shoes, wherein a fixing means is provided in order to fix the climbing rail and the climbing lift rail to each other in a reversibly releasable manner independently of a fixation to each other by means of the lifting device.

2. The assembly according to claim 1 , in which the climbing rail and the climbing lift rail are coupled to each other in a manually or automatically fixable manner via the fixing means.

3. The assembly according to claim 1 , in which the fixing means is designed as a latching or snap connection and comprises at least one latching or snap element and at least one retaining element for holding the at least one latching or snap element, wherein either the at least one latching or snap element and a plurality of the retaining elements or a plurality of the latching or snap elements and the at least one retaining element for holding the at least one latching or snap element of the plurality of latching or snap elements.

4. The assembly according to claim 3 , in which the latching or snap element is designed as a movable element and to be pivotable, foldable or movable, in the form of a latch, the latch including one of a locking latch or fixing latch, a detent, a snap-in nose, a bolt, a locking bolt, or a slide.

5. The assembly according to claim 4 , in which the retaining elements in the form of fixing recesses for meshing with the at least one latching or snap element fixed to the climbing rail are introduced one behind the other into the climbing lift rail, or retaining knobs are welded to the climbing lift rail.

6. The assembly according to claim 5 , in which the climbing lift rail has the fixing recesses on at least one side such that the climbing lift rail is present in the form of a profile with a suspension contour, with teeth, or, where only the at least one latching or snap element is fixed to the climbing rail, the climbing lift rail has the fixing recesses in the form of completely edged holes, which are rectangular or square.

7. The assembly according to claim 5 , in which the at least one latching or snap element fixed in or on the climbing rail is designed in the form of the fixing latch to mesh with at least one of the fixing recesses in the climbing lift rail.

8. The assembly according to claim 7 , in which the fixing latch is rotatably connected to the climbing rail and, in a connected state is arranged on the climbing rail such that a fixing lug of the fixing latch, due to one of gravity, a spring force, an electrostatic force, a magnetic force and/or an electromagnetic force, can mesh with the at least one fixing recess for fixing the climbing lift rail to the climbing rail, when the at least one fixing recess is at the level of the fixing lug.

9. The assembly according to claim 8 , in which the fixing latch is rotatably connected to the climbing rail such that the fixing lug of the fixing latch bears against an end face of the climbing lift rail facing the fixing lug when the at least one fixing recess is located above the level of the fixing lug or below the level of the fixing lug, but not at the level of the fixing lug.

10. The assembly according to claim 9 , in which an elongated hole is provided in the fixing latch which, when the climbing lift rail is in a state fixed to the fixing means, has a vertical orientation with respect to the climbing rail, wherein a pin, in the form of a screw, fixed to the climbing rail, runs through the elongated hole such that the fixing latch is translationally and/or rotatorily coupled to the climbing rail.

11. The assembly according to claim 10 , in which a stop fixed to the climbing rail is arranged in a fixed state above the fixing lug between the fixing latch and the climbing lift rail such that, when an underside of the fixing lug is placed on a fixing underside facing an underside of the at least one fixing recess in mesh with the fixing latch, the fixing latch is canted with respect to a stop underside of the stop and the fixing underside of the at least one fixing recess facing the underside of the fixing lug.

12. The assembly according to claim 10 , in which, in a state of the climbing lift rail not fixed to the fixing means with respect to the climbing rail, in which the fixing lug protrudes from an end face of the climbing lift rail facing the fixing lug, a contact element on the climbing rail can be provided below the pin such that, when the fixing latch is positioned with the pin in an upper region of the elongated hole, the fixing latch bears against the contact element in order to protrude from the end face of the climbing lift rail facing the fixing lug.

13. The assembly according to claim 11 , in which a fixing flange which is fixed to the climbing rail and comprises the pin and/or the stop and/or the contact element is arranged between the fixing latch and the climbing rail.

14. The assembly according to claim 13 , in which the fixing flange and the pin and/or the stop and/or the contact element are integral with or connected to each other.

15. The assembly according to claim 6 , in which a greatest distance between the fixing recesses arranged one behind the other in a longitudinal direction of the climbing lift rail corresponds at most to a maximum stroke length of the lifting device.

16. A rail-guided climbing system comprising an assembly according to claim 1 , wherein an overall length of the climbing rail is sufficient to guide the climbing rail of at least two of the climbing shoes that are spaced apart from each other at a predetermined distance, the predetermined distance being one floor height.

17. A method for constructing a rail-guided climbing system, usable as a climbing formwork, a climbing frame, a climbing protection wall, and/or a climbing working platform, comprising:
providing a climbing rail and a climbing lift rail such that the climbing lift rail can be moved relative to the climbing rail and is guided by the climbing rail,
arranging climbing shoes on a building structure in a stationary manner,
fixing a lifting device to the climbing rail at one end and to the climbing lift rail at the other end,
guiding the climbing rail by the climbing shoes such that the climbing rail and the climbing lift rail are each suspended on at least one of the climbing shoes in the direction opposite a climbing direction and are unhooked from the at least one climbing shoe in the climbing direction and moved relative to the at least one climbing shoe, and
providing a fixing means such that the climbing rail and the climbing lift rail can be fixed to each other in a reversibly releasable manner independently of a fixation to each other by means of the lifting device.
