Stabilization of Multi-Purpose Scaffold
20210062580 · 2021-03-04 ·

Stabilization components are described for use with a lightweight scaffold comprising two ladder frames, an adjustable platform supported between the two ladder frames, and casters. Each ladder frames include two vertical supports connected by cross members. The platform comprises two side rails having guide channels at each end thereof that slide along the vertical supports. The casters includes stems that insert into the lower ends of the vertical supports. When installed, the stabilization components reduce shaking and swaying of the lightweight scaffold.

LATCHABLE SCAFFOLD PLANKS
20200224437 · 2020-07-16 ·

An improved latchable scaffold board having a board like member with fixed clips or brackets fixedly attached at each end of the board. The brackets are shaped to engage and capture a horizontal scaffold member. The board also has a movable latch at least one end that moves to a latched position, and in the latched position, the movable latch has a portion that is positioned below the horizontal scaffold member, thereby trapping the scaffold board to the horizontal scaffold member.

Framework platform element, in particular for scaffolding
10633872 · 2020-04-28 · ·

A framework platform element, in particular for scaffolding, includes a framework platform body made from sheet metal material and extending in a longitudinal direction, with a stepping surface region providing a stepping surface on a top side and with side panel regions connecting to the stepping surface region in transition regions, formed by shaping the sheet metal material in two edge regions of the stepping surface region and situated at a distance from one another in a transverse direction. At least one side panel region has an end profile region, formed by shaping the sheet metal material, in an end region spaced apart from the transition region in a vertical direction, wherein in at least one transition region and/or in at least one end profile region, at least one curved shaped region is provided. A radius of curvature is less than or equal to a material thickness of the sheet metal material in at least sections in at least one curved shaped region.

Assembly for accessing an electronic display
10584500 · 2020-03-10 ·

An assembly for installation, repair, or maintenance of balcony-mounted displays. The assembly may include a straddling component or frame, an anchoring assembly for selectively fixing one end of the straddling component in a desired location along the balcony, and a person-holding structure suspended from the balcony by another end of the straddling component. The straddling component may include forward vertical supports extending from the person-holding structure, horizontal supports attached to the forward vertical supports, and aftward vertical supports attached to the horizontal supports. Transport wheels may be rotatably attached to the aftward vertical supports, for rollable relocation of the platform relative to the balcony. The anchoring assembly may include both forward and aftward extension pieces attached to the aftward vertical supports and selectively adjusted to cooperatively fix the aftward vertical supports between a balcony wall and a heel-kick surface below the balcony seating.
