Abstract
A system for fastening climbing structures to vertical bodies, comprising fastening structures that allow a climbing structure to be moved in steps along a vertical body, such as a wind turbine tower, each fastening structure comprising a clamp jaw (1) with which it is pre-adjusted to the vertical body by a set of callipers (1.1), and a clamp (2) with which it is clamped to the vertical body by pads (4) which are joined to a hinged arm (6) and which are pressed by a webbing (7) against the surface of the vertical body.
Claims11
A system for fastening climbing structures to vertical bodies, comprising fastening structures (C1, C2, C3, C4) attached to a climbing structure (3) to lift or lower an element fastened to a climbing structure (3) along a vertical body by extending and retracting the climbing structure (3) in combination with a closing and opening movement of the fastening structures (C1, C2, C3, C4), wherein each fastening structure (C1, C2, C3, C4) comprises an open clamp (2) with press-fit pads (4) for fitting to the vertical body, with a clamp jaw (1) for pre-adjusting the press-fit pads (4) to the perimeter of the vertical structure, the clamp (2) comprising a hinged arm (6) configured to close and open the clamp (2) around the vertical structure, and with a webbing (7) that rests on the press-fit pads (4) to press them against the vertical body by means of stressing through a locking assembly (9) configured to wind and lock the webbing (7) to determine a pressure on the press-fit pads and establish the fastening of the climbing structure (3) on the vertical body.
