Abstract
The invention relates to a scaffolding post () made of metal, including a tube () and a tubular tube connector () integrally molded therewith. In a transition region between the tube connector () and the tube () a stop () is formed, the stop being in the form of an annular post-supporting end face () running perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis of the scaffolding post () and circumferentially around the longitudinal axis. The slide-on area () of the tube () has a plurality of indentations (), each extending in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the scaffolding post () and each being designed with a tube inner cross-section reduction. The indentations are arranged distributed in the circumferential direction around the longitudinal axis of the scaffolding post () at regular intervals or equidistant and each extends continuously for a length in the tube slide-on region (), starting directly from a tube-supporting end face in the direction of the tube connector (). The indentations () are each configured in an L-shape or T-shape with a longitudinal supporting indentation () and a transverse centering indentation (). In the region of the post-supporting end face () the tube connector () includes a centering region () spanning a first tube connector outside diameter and further includes a supporting region () spanning a second tube connector outside diameter, wherein the first tube connector outside diameter is slightly larger than the second tube connector outside diameter. The tube () includes a substantially circular cylindrical tube portion (), which merges in the direction of the free tube connector end directly, substantially sharp-edged via an annular edge or with a slight transitional radius, into the post-supporting surface ().
