Abstract

The invention relates to a scaffolding component (45) with at least one connection head (61) for forming a releaseable connection with a vertical scaffolding element (41) extending in the direction of a longitudinal axis (47). On this scaffolding element is fastened a projection (44) which extends transversely to its longitudinal axis (47) and which has an aperture (55) for the insertion of a wedge (62). The connection head has an upper head part (74) with an upper wedge opening (80) and a lower head part (75) with a lower wedge opening (81), for the wedge (62) which can be inserted through the wedge openings (80, 81). Disposed between the upper head part (74) and the lower head part (75) is a slot (67) which is open towards the front and which is intended for the fitting of the connection head (61) onto the projection (44). The connection head (61) has a wedge-support body (85) with wedge-support surfaces which is arranged above the slot (67) so as to engage over the latter towards the front, for vertically supporting the wedge (62) in the region of its lower wedge end against unintended movement of the wedge (62) vertically downwardly into a blocking position. Above the wedge-support surfaces of the wedge-support body (85), the connection head (61) has a wedge-pivoting abutment (86).
