An improved intermediate scaffold joint comprising a frame, a first mounting member, a second mounting member, and a vertical stub. The frame has an interior side, an exterior side, and a top side. A lock member is slidable in the interior of the frame. The frame has a rear plate portion that has two openings to accommodate the engagement portions of a horizontal scaffold join, but lacks annular cups.

The invention relates to a temporary scaffolding rest which temporarily supports a standby scaffolding component upon a scaffolding upright in a first temporary disconnected position which is laterally offset from the scaffolding upright for subsequent installation of said standby scaffolding component to a portion of said upright in a second installed position which is laterally inset from the first temporary disconnected position. The temporary scaffolding rest includes a temporary connector for temporarily connecting the temporary scaffolding rest to said portion of said scaffolding upright, and an elongated rest which extends laterally from the temporary connector in order to temporarily support a portion of said standby scaffolding adjacent said portion of said scaffolding upright in said first temporary disconnected laterally offset position ready for subsequent installation to said portion of said scaffolding upright in said second installed position. A method of erecting a row of scaffolding which is higher than the row of scaffolding upon which an installer is positioned is also provided.

The present invention provides a fastening unit for attaching a first beam to a second beam, wherein the second beam is arranged substantially perpendicularly to the first beam, the fastening unit having a first axis and a second axis, wherein the second axis is substantially perpendicular to the first axis. The fastening unit comprises a connecting member extending in a direction parallel to the first axis of the fastening unit and having a first edge portion, a second edge portion and a central portion, the connecting member further comprising a coupling element.

The present invention discloses a shoring apparatus, a system incorporating the apparatus, and a related method utilizing the apparatus in the system for an improvement in conducting concrete edge repairs in multi-story buildings. The shoring apparatus includes a structural member and attachment features that are configured to make the shoring apparatus attachable to the underside of a concrete structure that is to undergo edge repairs. The shoring apparatus is advantageous over shore poles in that they securely support the concrete form without relying on a lower structure to counter the load of the structural repair.

A scaffold toeboard system for locking a toeboard between two vertical scaffold members where each vertical scaffold member includes a tubular member having a diameter and an outer shape. The toeboard system includes a toeboard having an elongated member with a fixed terminating end and an adjustable terminating end. The toeboard further includes a front portion, a top edge, a bottom edge and a rear portion. The toeboard system further includes a locking mechanism slidably mounted to the adjustable terminating end, where the locking mechanism includes a lock member body with a front edge and two fingers positioned on said locking mechanism and extending outwardly from the front edge of the locking member. The two fingers separated by a horizontal distance of about the diameter of a scaffold vertical member. The locking mechanism further includes a lock, where the lock is actuatable to fix the position of the lock member body with respect to the toeboard. The fixed terminating end is shaped to engage a scaffold vertical member.
