A work platform includes a plank which telescopes to a desired width. The work platform includes a first leg assembly rotatably attached adjacent to a first end of the plank. The work platform includes a second leg assembly rotatably attached adjacent to a second end of the plank. The plank is in an open position when the plank is supported by the first leg assembly and second leg assembly and the first leg assembly and second leg assembly form an angle greater than 25 degrees with the plank. The plank is in a closed position when the first leg assembly and second leg assembly are adjacent to and in parallel with the plank. A method for using a work platform. A method for producing a work platform.

A work platform configured to be adjustable in both height and width, while enabling ease in transformation between an open, use configuration in a closed, storage configuration. The work platform having a platform and a pair of leg frames pivotably coupled to opposite ends of the platform, each of the pair of leg frames including a first leg and a second leg, each of which includes a first member pivotably coupled to the platform, and a second member shiftable relative to the first member, an intermediate rung operably coupled to respective distal ends of the first members and including a length extension lock mechanism configured to inhibit shifting of the second members relative to the first members, and a base rung member including a crossmember operably coupled to the respective distal ends of the second members.

An assembly upon which a user stands includes a platform. The assembly includes a first work stand and a second work stand. Each work stand has a front frame and a rear frame. The assembly includes a first plank adapter engaged with the first work stand. The first plank adapter has an attachment portion and a bar. The assembly includes a second plank adapter engaged with the second work stand. The platform rests on is supported by the first and second plank adapters. The present invention pertains to a work stand for holding a platform upon which a user stands. A plank adapter that is engaged with a front frame of a work stand to hold a platform. A method for a user to stand above ground. A method for forming a work stand.

An apparatus includes a platform having a first end and a second end and a handle. The apparatus includes a first leg assembly rotatably attached to the platform in proximity to the first end. The apparatus includes a second leg assembly attentively attached to the platform in proximity to the second end. When the first and second leg assemblies are essentially perpendicular to the platform, the apparatus is in a use state and the user is able to stand on the platform and be supported by the first and second leg assemblies. When the apparatus is in the use state, the user is able to pick up the apparatus by the handle with only one of the hands without tipping the apparatus. A method for a user with hands to stand on an apparatus.

A scaffolding system is defined by a first primary platform connected to a first cantilevered ladder, a second primary platform connected to a second cantilevered ladder, and a work platform extending between and connected to the first and second primary platforms.

An assembly upon which a user stands includes a platform. The assembly includes a first work stand and a second work stand. Each work stand has a front frame and a rear frame. The assembly includes a first plank adapter engaged with the first work stand. The first plank adapter has an attachment portion and a bar. The assembly includes a second plank adapter engaged with the second work stand. The platform rests on and is supported by the first and second plank adapters. The present invention pertains to a work stand for holding a platform upon which a user stands. A plank adapter that is engaged with a front frame of a work stand to hold a platform. A method for a user to stand above ground. A method for forming a work stand.

A stabilization and anti-rotation system provides for secure interconnection between a scaffolding work platform and two primary platforms, each of which is attached to a ladder, and prevents relative movement between the primary platforms and the scaffolding platform. A locating block is attached to a plate of each primary platform 402. A pair of spaced apart and vertically oriented guide blocks are attached to a facing plate on each end of the work platform and positioned so that a guide slot is defined between the blocks. When assembled, the locating block is closely captured between the guide blocks and the structure provides stability and prevents rotation of the work platform relative to the primary platforms.

A work platform includes a plank which telescopes to a desired width. The work platform includes a first leg assembly rotatably attached adjacent to a first end of the plank. The work platform includes a second leg assembly rotatably attached adjacent to a second end of the plank. The work platform includes a first linkage attached to a first leg of the first leg assembly. The first linkage may be a first hook or a first strap assembly for securing the work platform to a first support structure. A method for using a work platform. A method for producing a work platform.

A work platform configured to be adjustable in both height and width, while enabling ease in transformation between an open, use configuration in a closed, storage configuration. The work platform having a platform and a pair of leg frames pivotably coupled to opposite ends of the platform, each of the pair of leg frames including a first leg and a second leg, each of which includes a first member pivotably coupled to the platform, and a second member shiftable relative to the first member, an intermediate rung operably coupled to respective distal ends of the first members and including a length extension lock mechanism configured to inhibit shifting of the second members relative to the first members, and a base rung member including a crossmember operably coupled to the respective distal ends of the second members.

A plank scaffold system and, more particularly, to a ladder-based vertically-adjustable plank scaffold system. The system may have a pair of ladders, a wall standoff mounted at the top of each of the ladders, a crane support mounted at the top of each of the ladders, a vertical guide bar and roller system to keep it from swinging on the cables, and a horizontal platform suspended on cables below the crane supports, the platform having a pair of cable winches mounted thereon for varying the elevation of the platform. Instead of ladders, tower scaffolds or stage towers may be used on each side to support the vertically-adjustable plank.
