An adjustable toe board that is capable of adjustment to a number of varying lengths to accommodate various platform sizing. An exemplary embodiment of the invention includes a locking mechanism for use with the adjustable toe board to retain the toe board in its retracted position when necessary for transport, storage, or when the size of the portion of the platform the toe board will be used in requires the toe board to be in its fully collapsible state. A uniquely shaped wedge pin may be utilized to accommodate various sizes of posts when connecting a non-adjustable or an adjustable toe board to scaffolds and the like.

An adjustable platform extension bracket for work platform systems comprises a post member having two posts joined by a plurality of positional structures. A first connection portion forms a first channel such that the first connection portion is symmetrical along an axis parallel with and passing through the channel. The post member is slidingly engaged in the first channel such that at least one of the positional structures is positionable in the channel. The bracket does not require any diagonal support. The dimensions of work platforms, particularly suspended work platform systems, may be extended using the adjustable platform extension bracket.

The present invention provides a hammering assembly type fixing device for a shipyard, in which the lower end of a fixture is inserted into a fixing groove formed in a fixing plate (made of a rigid bottom such as steel, concrete, rock, etc.) and the upper end of the fixture is screwed to be coupled to a separate fastening element, such that a grating, a work foothold, etc. are fixed. The hammering assembly type fixing device for a shipyard according to the present invention is configured such that a protruding flange inclined downward is integrally formed with a fixture to form a single body at a portion where an upper end and a lower end of a fixture are connected to each other, and a packing ring is provided to be inserted into the lower end of the fixture in close contact with the protruding flange. As such, as the fixture is fixed to the fixing plate by the pressing from the hammering, the hammering assembly type fixing device has the characteristics of being resistant to lateral forces and preventing breakage of the lower end due to a primary fixing by the lower end and a secondary fixing by the protruding flange. Further, the pressing force of the protruding flange of a downwardly inclined structure, and the improved sealing property by the packing ring, and the excellent foreign substance blocking effect are obtained. Moreover, the manufacturing process of the fixture is simplified, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost. Especially, the hammering assembly type fixing device for a shipyard is applied to fix a grating installed in a shipyard, so that even in high salt conditions due to the inflow of seawater through various routes in shipbuilding processes, the fixing force of the fixture with respect to the fixing plate is maximized and the airtightness by the packing ring is improved, thereby preventing the occurrence of fine gaps between the fixing plate and the fixture. Therefore, the penetration of salt is blocked, thereby preventing the corrosion of the fixture and improving durability of the fixture.

The invention concerns a deck (1) for forming an accessible area in a shoring tower (26), which can be used for fabrication or reconstruction of buildings, with a lifting lock (2) for avoiding take off of the deck (1) from an intended insertion position, preferably with two insertion hooks (2) each on both front sides, characterized in that the lifting lock (2) can also at a resting deck (1) switch from a detached position into a locked position only by force of gravity and/or the lifting lock (2) can switch from the locked position into the detached position by lifting the deck (1) through engaging at the lifting lock (2). Furthermore, a further developed system comprising a separate lifting and holding tool and a deck as well as a further developed shoring tower are disclosed. A very easy and safe assembly and disassembly can thereby be achieved.
