Abstract

A bracket scaffold for arrangement on a curved surface of a structure includes a first securing element arranged on the structure. The bracket scaffold has an end-side first coupling element which is, in particular in a limited manner, pivotably arranged on a first carrier of the bracket scaffold. A rotation axis of the first coupling element preferably intersects with the support location of the first coupling element on the first securing element. The pivot radius of the first coupling element describes in particular a concave pivot arc on the first carrier. The rotation axis is located from the first guide preferably in the direction of the free end of the first coupling element. Extension torques in the articulation, which is formed by the first guide, are minimized by the bracket scaffold being pulled away from the structure.

Dependent claims

A bracket scaffold for securing to a curved surface of a structure, the bracket scaffold comprising:

a) a first carrier defining a first end opposite a second end;
b) a first coupling element which is pivotably arranged on the first carrier at the first end of the first carrier, the first coupling element configured for connecting to a first securing element which can be arranged on the structure;
c) a first guide disposed at the first end of the first carrier, the first guide pivotably connecting the first coupling element on the first carrier;
d) wherein the first guide enables concave pivoting of the first coupling element relative to the first carrier, the concave pivoting defining a virtual rotation axis that is located close to the structure which can be connected to the first securing element, and wherein the virtual rotation axis is fixed in position relative to the first carrier during pivoting of the first coupling element;
and
e) wherein the virtual rotation axis is disposed at a distance beyond the first end of the first carrier in a direction opposite from the second end of the first carrier.
