Abstract

The invention relates to a prop (32.1, 32.3) for a three-dimensional framework, particularly a scaffold (20), comprising a fastening mechanism (38) for attaching a railing device (28) to the prop (32.1, 32.3). The invention also relates to a connecting assembly for a railing device (28), comprising at least one prop (32.1, 32.3) for a three-dimensional framework, especially a scaffold (20), and a railing device (28) which can be attached to the prop (32.1, 32.3) with the help of a fastening mechanism (38). Also disclosed is a method for attaching a railing device (28) to a prop (32.1, 32.3) for a three-dimensional framework, especially a scaffold (20), with the help of a fastening mechanism (38). The fastening mechanism (38) encompasses a locking element which can be swiveled about a swivel pin. In the locked position, the locking surface of the locking element lies across from a bearing surface (43) of a support element that is mounted on the prop (32.1, 32.3). Furthermore, in the locked position and in the operational position of the prop (32.1, 32.3), the locking surface of the locking element is disposed at a vertical distance above the bearing surface of the support element, and/or in the operational position of the prop (32.1, 32.3), the swivel pin is placed at a vertical distance above the locking surface that is in the locking position, preferably also at a vertical distance above the bearing surface of the support element.
