Abstract
An improved scaffolding tie (1c) for connecting a scaffolding tarpaulin (8) to a scaffolding pole (9) is disclosed. The tie (1c) comprises an anchor (4c) for anchoring the tie (1c) to the scaffolding tarpaulin(S), an attachment portion (6c) for attaching the tie (1c) to a scaffolding pole (9), and a ligament (5c). The ligament (5c) is connected between the anchor (4c) and the attachment portion (6c) and arranged, in use, to bias the anchor and attachment portion towards one another. The attachment portion (6c) comprises a fastening means (2c) and a connector piece (60c) arranged, in use, to reversibly connect to one another to form a loop around a scaffolding pole (9).
Claims19
A scaffolding tie for connecting a scaffolding tarpaulin to a scaffolding pole, the tie comprising:
- an anchor for anchoring the tie to the scaffolding tarpaulin;
- an attachment portion for attaching the tie to a scaffolding pole;
- and
- a ligament connected between the anchor and the attachment portion, and arranged, in use, to bias the anchor and attachment portion towards one another;
- wherein, the attachment portion comprises a fastening means and a connector piece arranged, in use, to reversibly connect to one another to form a loop around a scaffolding pole, wherein the fastening means and the connector piece comprise complementary interconnection structures that are arranged to slide along one another between a connected configuration in which the fastening means and the connector piece are connected to one another and a disconnected configuration in which the fastening means and the connector piece are disconnected from one another, wherein the interconnection structures comprise rails along which at least one of the fastening means and the connector piece are slidable relative to the other.
A scaffolding tie for connecting a scaffolding tarpaulin to a scaffolding pole, the tie comprising:
- an anchor for anchoring the tie to the scaffolding tarpaulin;
- an attachment portion for attaching the tie to a scaffolding pole;
- and
- a ligament connected between the anchor and the attachment portion, and arranged, in use, to bias the anchor and attachment portion towards one another;
- wherein, the attachment portion comprises a fastening means and a connector piece arranged, in use, to reversibly connect to one another to form a loop around a scaffolding pole, wherein the fastening means and the connector piece each comprise a barrel portion having a bore into which respective ends of the ligament are received and permanently connected to the fastening means or the connector piece.
A scaffolding tie for connecting a scaffolding tarpaulin to a scaffolding pole, the tie comprising:
- an anchor for anchoring the tie to the scaffolding tarpaulin;
- an attachment portion for attaching the tie to a scaffolding pole;
- and
- a ligament connected between the anchor and the attachment portion, and arranged, in use, to bias the anchor and attachment portion towards one another;
- wherein, the attachment portion comprises a fastening means and a connector piece arranged, in use, to reversibly connect to one another to form a loop around a scaffolding pole, wherein the anchor comprises at least one anti-slippage structure arranged to prevent slippage of the anchor relative to the ligament, when the tie is in an anchoring configuration, and the ligament extends in an orientation transverse to the anchor.
