Abstract
A mechanical coupling arrangement for a scaffold is provided. The mechanical coupling arrangement comprises a pole and a mounting collar having attachment means to which elongated support members can be attached. A level of radial play between said pole and said mounting collar in a first relative angular position is larger than the level of radial play between said pole and said mounting collar in a second relative angular position. The second relative angular position corresponds to a fastening position of said mounting collar, and in that said first relative angular position corresponds to an axial sliding position of said mounting collar.

Mechanical coupling arrangement for a scaffold, comprising:
- a pole and
- a mounting collar having attachment means to which elongated support members can be attached,
- wherein a level of radial play between said pole and said mounting collar in a first relative angular position is larger than the level of radial play between said pole and said mounting collar in a second relative angular position, and
- said second relative angular position corresponds to a fastening position of said mounting collar, and
- said first relative angular position corresponds to an axial sliding position of said mounting collar.
Method for coupling a mounting collar to a pole of a scaffold, wherein said mounting collar comprises attachment means to which elongated support members can be attached, said method comprising:
- arranging said pole and said mounting collar coaxially side by side in said first relative angular position corresponding to an axial sliding position of said mounting collar;
- sliding said mounting collar onto an external surface of said pole to the desired fastening position;
- performing a relative angular movement between said pole and said mounting collar to reach said second relative angular position corresponding to a fastening position of said mounting collar, in which a level of radial play between said pole and said mounting collar is smaller than the level of radial play between said pole and said mounting collar in said first relative angular position.
