Abstract
A coupling pin clip for a coupling piece for the connection of two components that are inserted between them. To affix the insertable coupling at the ends of the coupling piece, a pin is insertable both through a hole of the component and through a hole of the coupling piece. The coupling pin clip is U-shaped, the legs of which have a distance from each other that corresponds to the distance of the two holes in the coupling piece. Furthermore, the coupling pin clip comprises a tipping finger articulated at one end of the coupling pin clip.
Claims11
A connecting adapter for connecting frame sections of a scaffolding, comprising:
- a coupling piece insertable between the frame sections, and
- a coupling pin clip having a U-shaped profile and legs, the legs having a distance from each other that corresponds to a distance between coupling piece holes defined by the coupling piece and being insertable into the coupling piece holes, the coupling pin clip having a tipping finger that is articulated at one end of the coupling pin clip and configured to rest against an other end of the coupling pin clip in a locked state, the tipping finger having a length at least large enough such that the tipping finger cannot flip over within the coupling piece,
- wherein in the locked state, an end portion of the tipping finger is configured to be able to abut against an outer surface of one of the frame sections such that the coupling pin clip cannot be removed from the holes defined by the one of the frame sections and thus the coupling pin clip cannot be removed from a connecting position,
- wherein a first leg of the legs about which the tipping finger articulates is longer than a second leg of the legs.
