Climbing Cylinder of Self-Climbing Formwork

Abstract

A climbing cylinder ( 10 ) of self-climbing formwork in the building area is provided such that it can move climbing rails ( 22 ) along a wall ( 12 ). At one end the climbing cylinder ( 10 ) has a fixing for an anchor point of the wall and at the other end a catch ( 30 ) is provided on the climbing cylinder, which can be brought into engagement with the climbing rail such that it bears the climbing rail ( 10 ) on the one hand and can displace it on the other hand. The climbing cylinder ( 10 ) can be fixed at an anchor point of the building or on a climbing shoe ( 18 ).

1 - 6 . (canceled) 
   
   
       7 . A self-climbing formwork and/or self-climbing scaffold unit for movement along a wall of a building, the wall having an anchor point to which the formwork or scaffold unit can be detachably fixed, the formwork or scaffold unit comprising:
 a climbing shoe;   a climbing cylinder having a lower end communicating with the wall anchor point, said climbing cylinder also having an upper end;   a support cooperating with said upper end of said climbing cylinder; and   a climbing rail having bearing bolts, said climbing rail being held and guided along the wall through cooperation with said climbing shoe, wherein, in an extended state of said climbing cylinder, said support engages beneath an upper bearing bolt and urges said climbing rail in an upward direction to move said rail along the building wall.   
   
   
       8 . The self-climbing formwork and/or self-climbing scaffold unit of  claim 7 , wherein said climbing cylinder is fixed to said climbing shoe, said climbing shoe being attached to the wall in a fixed position thereof. 
   
   
       9 . The self-climbing formwork and/or self-climbing scaffold unit of  claim 7 , wherein said climbing cylinder is pivotally hinged to the anchor point or to said climbing shoe. 
   
   
       10 . The self-climbing formwork and/or self-climbing scaffold unit of  claim 9 , wherein the climbing cylinder can be fixed in a spring-mounted manner to the anchor point or to said climbing shoe. 
   
   
       11 . The self-climbing formwork and/or self-climbing scaffold of  claim 7 , wherein said climbing cylinder has pivoting supports at a free end thereof which are constructed as catches. 
   
   
       12 . The self-climbing formwork and/or self-climbing scaffold unit of  claim 7 , wherein said support comprises a mounting plate, provided as a counter bearing for abutment against said climbing rail.
