Abstract
The invention relates to a scaffold node for connecting scaffold elements extending in different spatial directions, comprising a connecting sleeve which is provided as a coupling point for two scaffold components, in particular for two vertical posts or for a vertical post and a spindle nut post, and at least one coupling element which is used to connect the scaffold node to further scaffold components or scaffold elements. The invention also relates to a scaffold portion comprising a scaffold node and further scaffold elements.

Scaffold node (1) for connecting scaffold elements extending in different spatial directions, comprising
- a connecting sleeve (2) which is provided as a coupling point for two scaffold components, in particular for two vertical posts (41) or for a vertical post (41) and a spindle nut post (304),
- at least one coupling element which is used to connect the scaffold node to further scaffold components or scaffold elements,
- wherein the connecting sleeve (2) has at least one inner projection (25) which protrudes radially inwardly beyond an inner lateral surface (26) of the connecting sleeve (2), wherein the at least one inner projection (25) protrudes abruptly relative to the inner lateral surface (26) of the connecting sleeve (2) and has at least one load-absorption surface (251) which is provided for absorbing loads oriented in the longitudinal direction of the connecting sleeve (2) from a scaffold component, and which has a projection height (28) from its outer edge adjacent to the inner lateral surface (26) to its inner edge that is oriented radially toward the inside of the connecting sleeve (2).
Scaffold node (1) according to either of the preceding claims, characterized in that the coupling element (3) is designed as a connecting disc, the connecting disc (3) having a receiving surface (31) having a plurality of receiving recesses (32), and the receiving recesses (32) being provided for being connected to further scaffold elements, such as horizontal bars (42) or diagonal struts, and the connecting disc (3) being rigidly connected to the connecting sleeve (2), and the receiving surface (31) being substantially perpendicular to the overall length (23) of the connecting sleeve (2).
Scaffold node (1) according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that at least one further inner projection (25a) is formed by indenting the wall (27) of the connecting sleeve (2), the further inner projection (25a) having a constant projection height (28) inside the connecting sleeve (2) in the longitudinal direction of the connecting sleeve (2), or the further inner projection (25a), starting from the inner lateral surface (26) of the connecting sleeve (2), rising steadily up to the projection height (28) and falling.
Scaffold node (1) according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the connecting sleeve (2) has an insertion bevel (29) at at least one of its end faces.
Scaffold node (1) according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the overall length (23) of the connecting sleeve (2) is greater than the sleeve diameter (24) by a factor of from 2 to 5.
Scaffold node according to any of the preceding claims, characterized in that the connecting sleeve (2) has, at each end in its end regions, at least one locking opening (21) which is directed radially inwardly through the wall (27) of the connecting sleeve (2).
Scaffold portion (100), comprising at least one scaffold node (1) according to any of the preceding claims, further comprising
- at least one vertical post (41), wherein the vertical post (41) is inserted into the connecting sleeve (2) of the scaffold node (1),
- at least one horizontal bar (42) or a horizontal strut (4001, 4002, 4003), which is connected to the coupling element of the scaffold node (1).
