CLIMBING FORMWORK

Abstract A climbing shoe (10) comprises a sliding shoe section (16) and wall shoe section (18). The sliding shoe section (16) is designed so that it can guide and hold a climbing rail. The wall shoe section (18) is connected to the sliding shoe section (16) in an articulated manner.
Full Text CLIMBING SHOE IN THE BUILDING SECTOR
The invention relates to a climbing shoe in the building
sector as used to hold rails on walls of a structure on
already produced concrete sections. The known climbing
shoes guide and hold the climbing rail on the wall, whereby
the necessary fittings for erecting a new concrete section
can be applied to the climbing rails. Within the climbing
shoes the climbing rails can be moved as required and
firmly held in the required positions in the climbing
shoes. As large loads act on the climbing shoes and the
anchoring points provided in the wall via the climbing
shoes attached there, both the anchoring points and the
climbing shoes must be structurally designed so that they
can take up these forces securely and durably.
DE 196 41 813 Al discloses a working frame which can be
attached to a wall or a roof. The working frame has load-
carrying spar running parallel to the wall, in the upper
section of which a suspension hook is provided. The
suspension hook is attached to the load-carrying spar by
means of socket pins and suspended in a load-bearing bolt
of an anchoring plate.
FR 2 298 662 A shows and describes a climbing casing which
has form boards which are in contact with both sides of a
wall to be concreted. Each form board can be lifted by way
of a device and their angle adjusted with regard to the
outer surface of the wall to be concreted. By a prop and
fastening devices parallel to the wall, the device is
attached to an already hardened concrete section. The
fastening devices each have a load-carrying spar arranged
perpendicularly to the wall and pivotably mounted to a wall
section anchored in the wall.

The aim of the invention is to provide a climbing shoe
which introduces as moment-free forces as possible,
resulting from the weight of the climbing rail and the
connected fittings, into an anchoring point in a wall
and/or can take these up in a moment-free manner.
The aim is achieved through a climbing shoe in the building
sector which has a sliding shoe section and a wall or
ceiling shoe section, whereby the wall or ceiling shoe
section can be firmly attached to a wall or ceiling of a
concrete section and the sliding shoe has means for guiding
and holding a climbing rail, whereby the wall or ceiling
shoe section is connected to the sliding shoe section in an
articulated manner, and whereby the wall or ceiling shoe
section is pivotable about a vertically arranged axis and
the sliding shoe section is pivotable with respect to the
wall or ceiling shoe section about a horizontally arranged
axis.
By the articulated connection forming a cardan joint
between the wall or ceiling and sliding shoe section it is
possible for the sliding shoe section to attach to the
climbing rail, with a climbing rail taking up the load, and
thereby acting as a counter bearing to the catches formed
in the sliding shoe section which as supports hold the
load-bearing bolts of the climbing rail. The articulated
bearing allows the sliding shoe section to be aligned with
regard to the climbing rail, the wall or ceiling shoe
section and to the anchoring point in the wall in
accordance with force flow optimised points of view. If
climbing shoes have cardan joints, climbing rails held in
the climbing shoes can always be aligned in parallel to
each other. This also allows the parallel alignment of
fittings on the climbing rails, e.g. consoles or rails.
In a further embodiment of the invention the wall or
ceilinq shoe section is connected to the sliding shoe

- 3 -
section by a detachable stub shaft. This has the advantage
that the climbing shoe can be divided if required. This
allows easier mounting or removal of a climbing rail.
The articulated catches borne in the sliding shoe section
serve as supports for load-bearing bolts of the climbing
rails and the catches can be pivoted within the sliding
shoe section in such a way that moving of the climbing
rails within a sliding shoe section is possible. When the
climbing rails climb the catches are disengaged from the
load-bearing bolts and once a climbing procedure has ended
the catches automatically pivot back into their initial
position and can again hold the climbing rail immobile on
the wall of a structure in its new position.
The climbing shoe in accordance with the invention is shown
and described in the following figures. The joints shown
and described in. the embodiment are to be understood as
examples and can also be formed by other structural
embodiments. The load-carrying bolts of the climbing rail
can also be replaced with openings, brackets or projections
that can engage in the appropriate catch recesses of the
sliding shoe section.
Of course also climbing shoes can be used that exclusively
have one joint in the wall or ceiling shoe section and have
a rigid connection between the wall or ceiling shoe section
and the sliding shoe section. This joint can be vertically
or horizontally arranged.

The figures show the embodiments of the invention in a
strongly schematic form and are not to scale.
The same functional element are largely denoted with the
same reference numbers in the figures described below.
These functional elements can be designed in the most
different ways.
Fig. 1 shows in a side view and partial cross-section of a
climbing shoe 10 how it attached in a stationary manner to
a wall 12 of a concrete section 14 at an anchoring point.
The climbing shoe 10 comprises a sliding shoe section 16
and a wall shoe section 18. A climbing rail 20 is held via
a catch 22 of the sliding shoe section 16 and laterally
guided in that the catch 22 supports from below a load-
carrying bolt 24 of the climbing rail 20. The catch 22 is
shown in its maximum pivoted out position and counter
bearings within the sliding shoe 16 prevent further
clockwise pivoting of the catch 22.
A climbing cylinder 2 6 is mounted on the sliding shoe
section 16 of the climbing shoe 10. Only the lowest part of
the climbing cylinder 26 can be seen to which a casing 28
is connected via which the climbing cylinder 26 is disposed
onto an articulated shaft 30 of the climbing shoe 10. A
securing bolt 32 fixes the casing 28 to the articulated
joint 30 without impairing the pivoting range of the
climbing cylinder 26 about the articulated shaft 30. If the
securing bolt 32 is disengaged from the articulated shaft
30 by pulling against the spring force, the climbing
cylinder 26 can be removed from the articulated shaft 30.
The casing 28 of the climbing cylinder 26 is supported via
a rubber or viscoplastic element 33 on a casing wall of the
sliding shoe section 16.
The sliding shoe section 16 is connected in an articulated
manner to the wall shoe section 18 by way of a horizontally

- 6 -
arranged stub shaft 34. The sliding shoe section 16 can be
pivoted with respect to the wall shoe section 18 about the
stub shaft 34.
Within the sliding shoe section 16 the catch 22 can be
pivoted in an anticlockwise direction about a pivoting
point 36 against the pressure of a spring 36.
If the catch 22 is not subjected to a weight load via load-
carrying bolts 24 of the climbing rail 20, the catch 22 can
be manually pivoted in the sliding shoe section 16 against
the pressure of the spring 38 using the lever 40. This is
always necessary when the climbing rail 20 has to be moved
downwards with respect to the stationary climbing shoe 10.
Fig. 2 shows a moment uptake of the climbing rail 20 as it
is moved upwards in the direction of the arrow 42 via the
climbing cylinder 20 along a wall 12 of the concrete
section 14. For this climbing procedure of the climbing
rail 20 in the direction of the arrow 42 the piston of
climbing cylinder 26 is extended, which at its free end
also has a catch which can grip and support the load-
carrying bolt 24 of the climbing rail 20 from underneath.
If the climbing rail 20 is moved via the climbing cylinder
26 in the direction of the arrow 42, a load-carrying bolt
24 of the climbing rail 20 is pressed onto an overrun slope
44 of the catch 22 and pivots the catch 22 about the point
of rotation 36 against the pressure of the spring 38. The
catch 22 then pivots into the sliding shoe section 16 of
the climbing shoe 10.
Fig. 3 shows the climbing shoe 10 in figures 1 and 2 on the
wall 12 of the concrete section 14, how the catch 22 pivots
back about the point of rotation 36 into its initial
position through the force of the spring 38. The climbing
rail 20 was moved further by the climbing cylinder 2 6 in

- 7 -
the direction of the arrow 42 so that the load-carrying
bolt 24 has released the catch 22 again which has been able
to pivot back into its initial setting.
If the climbing cylinder 26 is retracted the load-carrying
bolt 24 comes to rest on the catch 22 and the climbing shoe
10 holds the climbing rail 20 in the position on the wall
12 of the concrete section 14 shown in the figure.
Fig. 4 shows a side view of a modified climbing shoe 10
composed of the sliding shoe section 16 and a ceiling shoe
section 46. The ceiling shoe section 46 rests on a ceiling
48 of the concrete section 14 and is also fastened there in
a stationary manner. Via the sub shaft 34 the sliding shoe
section 16 is attached in an articulated manner to the
ceiling shoe section 46. If the stub shaft 34 is removed
from the ceiling shoe section 46 the sliding shoe section
16 can be removed from the ceiling shoe section 46 with
claws 50. The catch or the catches of the sliding shoe
section 16, which grips below the load-carrying bolts of
the climbing rail when the climbing rail is inserted or can
be pivoted by the load-carrying bolts during a climbing
procedure, are covered by the claws 50. The lever 40, which
is attached in an articulated manner to the catch in the
sliding shoe section 16 is shown in the figure and via the
lever 40 the catch/catches in the sliding shoe section 16
can be pivoted by hand.
A bracket 52 is shown on the sliding shoe section 16 which
bears the articulated shaft 30. A climbing cylinder can be
mounted on the articulated shaft 30.
Fig. 5 shows a top view of how a climbing shoe 10
comprising a sliding shoe section 16 and wall shoe section
18 is attached in a stationary manner to the wall 12 of the
concrete section 14. The sliding shoe section 16 is
connected in an articulated manner to the wall shoe section

- 8 -
18 via the stub shaft 34. The claws 50 encompass the limbs
of the U-shaped profile of the climbing rail 20 and hold
the climbing rail 20 guided on the wall 12. Catches 22 of
the sliding shoe section 16 support the load-bearing bolt
24 on one side of the climbing rail 20. Arranged on the
sliding shoe section 16 is the articulated shaft 30 for
mounting a climbing cylinder. One half of the claws 50 can
be pivoted about an axis 54 if a locking bolt 56 preventing
possible pivoting of the left claw 50 is pulled out of its
holding device.
Fig. 6 shows the climbing shoe 10 in figure 5 with a claw
50 swung out on one side.
If a climbing shoe 10 on a wall 12 of the concrete section
14 is to be dismounted or removed even in the presence of
the climbing rail 20, one claw 50 of the sliding shoe
section 16 can be swung open if the locking bolt 56 is
disengaged from a rigid wall section of the sliding shoe
section 16 and is pulled out of an aperture in the claw 50.
Once the locking has been released the claw 50 can be
pivoted about the axis 54. If the claw 50 is swung open the
locking bolt 56 can be replaced in its position that locks
the claw 50 and it is then guaranteed that the claw 50
remains in the position shown in the figure. If the stub
shaft 34 between the sliding shoe section 16 and the wall
shoe section 18 is removed, by pulling it out of the joint
bearing in direction of the arrow 57 the sliding shoe
section 16 can be removed from the climbing rail 20. If
required the wall shoe section 18 can then also be loosened
and removed from the anchoring point in the wall.
Fig. 7 shows a side view of a cardan-borne climbing shoe 10
on the wall 12 of the concrete section 14. The sliding shoe
section 16 is horizontally connected in an articulated
manner to the wall shoe section 18 via the stub shaft 34.
In addition to the climbing shoes in figures 1 to 6 the

- 9 -
wall shoe section 18 has a vertical axis 58 about which the
wall shoe section 18 with the sliding shoe section 16 can
be pivoted if required. On the sliding shoe section 16 is
the bracket 52 which bears the articulated shaft 30. The
claws 50 cover the catches arranged between the claws 50.
Fig. 8 shows a top view of the cardan-borne climbing shoe
10 in figure 7. The climbing shoe 10 is held stationary on
the wall 12 of the concrete section 14 and can pivot about
the vertical axis 58 and about the horizontal axis formed
by the stub shaft 34. The sliding shoe section 16 is
pivotably held on the wall shoe section 18 via the stub
shaft 34 and via the axis 58 the wall shoe section 18 can
pivot independently of the sliding shoe section. A claw 50
is borne in a pivoting manner about axis 54, whereby the
locking 56 in the locking position brings about a rigid
claw connection between the sliding shoe section 16 and the
pivotable claw 50. The pivotable catches 22 are arranged
between the claws 50 in the sliding shoe section 16.
Fig. 9 shows a top view of a concrete section 14 which is
shown rounded. Attached at anchoring points provided on the
concrete section 14 are the climbing shoes 10 which each
guide a climbing rail 20 between the claws and via the
catches arranged in the climbing shoes 10 the climbing
rails 20 are held in position by the load-carrying bolts 24
provided in the climbing rails 20.
Attached to the climbing rails 20 are consoles and/or rails
60 which via the cardan-borne climbing shoes 10 are always
arranged in parallel on the concrete section 14. If the
consoles or rails 60 are always in parallel even in the
presence of differing curves in the concrete section 14,
formwork carriages can be moved to and from the concrete
section 14 via the rails 60. Via the vertical axes 58 the
climbing shoes 10 with the climbing rails are always
aligned so that the consoles 60 or rails are always

- 10 -
parallel to each other, independently of the curvature
radius of the concrete section 14.
A climbing shoe 10 comprises a sliding shoe section 16 and
a wall shoe section 18. The sliding shoe section 16 is
designed so that it can guide and hold a climbing rail. The
wall shoe section 18 is connected in an articulated manner
to the sliding shoe section 16.
