Element receptacle

An element receptacle for providing a receptacle for a scaffolding element on a scaffolding element already positioned comprising:

• a receptacle which has a receptacle interface for receiving a scaffolding element which also has at least one joint region disposed adjacent to the receiving interface, and which also has a clamping region disposed adjacent to the joint region on the side of the receptacle opposite the receptacle interface,
• a retainer which has an attaching element for attaching to a scaffolding element already positioned and which also has at least one mating joint region,
• wherein the joint region of the receptacle is inserted into the mating joint region of the retainer, or the mating joint region of the retainer is inserted into the joint region of the receptacle, and, by an operative connection between the joint region and the mating joint region, the receptacle is guided for rotation relative to the retainer about at least one first spatial axis,
• and wherein the retainer comprises an abutment surface disposed on the side of the retainer facing away from the receptacle interface, and the attaching element protrudes beyond the abutment surface on the side of the retainer facing away from the receptacle interface, and the attaching element and the mating joint region are disposed on opposite sides of the abutment surface,
• and wherein the receptacle comprises a gripping surface disposed on the side of the receptacle facing the attaching element, wherein the receptacle interface and the clamping region are disposed on opposite sides of the gripping surface, wherein a first clamping section of the clamping region protrudes beyond the gripping surface in the direction of the attaching element, and a second clamping section protrudes beyond the surface disposed opposite of the gripping surface.
