A monorail assembly includes a first scaffold system comprising at least one framework member being an elongated structure having a bottom chord and a plurality of panel points along the bottom chord; at least one monorail beam; and at least one bracket structure configured to secure to the at least one framework member at or about at least two panel points and to the at least one monorail beam.

An apparatus for suspended scaffolding, comprising a Z-shaped anchoring plate comprised of a first horizontally protruding element, a second opposable protruding element, and said elements continuously coupled to each other via a vertical middle element, wherein the Z-shaped plate is configured to securely cover at least portions of a top wall, inner wall of a parapet, and a roof; at least one threaded rod with torqued nut anchored through at least one of the vertical element and/or the first element of the anchoring plate and through at least one of the top wall, inner wall, and/or outer wall of the parapet; an L-shaped receiver plate secured over at least a portion of the top wall and outer wall of the parapet and rod-nut anchored to the anchoring plate, wherein the receiver plate is configured to secure a suspended scaffold for a user to engage a façade of a structure in any direction; and a counterweight securely rested on a top surface of the second element in order to counter the weight of the suspended scaffold.

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.

An electrically insulated trellis comprises a first array of parallel tubular members 2 and a second array of parallel tubular members 4. Each of the second array of parallel tubular members 4 is pivotably connected to a plurality of the first array of parallel tubular members 2 whereby to form a trellis 1. Each of the tubular members is formed from glass-reinforced polymer. A first set of fibres in the glass-reinforced polymer are substantially parallel and aligned in a first direction and a second set of fibres in the glass-reinforced polymer, distinct from the first set, are substantially parallel and aligned in a second direction different to the first direction.

An adjustable suspension assembly for suspending a lower structure such as a platform from an upper structure such as a portion of a bridge. A chain, which is attachable at one end to the upper structure or to an end of a cable which is attachable at its other end to the upper structure, is attached at its other end to a device. The device, which is attachable to the lower structure, has a pair of aligned apertures in its side walls for receiving pins. The pins are spaced to receive a thickness of a chain link but not to receive a width of the link, whereby a selected link to achieve a desired lower structure height may be cinched between the pins. When the chain is attached to a cable, the cable has an eyelet formed by folding an end portion of the cable back over the cable and swaging the cable end portion to the cable. The chain is attached to said eyelet by receiving the end portion of the cable in one of the chain links before the cable end portion is swaged to the cable.

A support device for elevating an object above a surface comprises a base and a strut. The base has a top and a bottom. The bottom is adapted to sit upon the surface and is wider than the top. The strut is affixed to the base and adapted to receive a fastener for affixing the object to the strut. The base may have a trapezoidal cross-sectional shape. The base may comprise a support flange along a perimeter of the bottom of the base. The strut may have a generally U-shaped cross-sectional shape with an elongated planar bottom and opposing elongated planar sides joined to opposing edges of the elongated planar bottom. The strut may be affixed to the base via one or more spacers such that the strut is positioned a predefined distance from the top of the base.

A modular space frame support system comprises an upper frame comprising a plurality of joists interconnected with a plurality of interconnection structures; a lower frame comprising a plurality of joists or chords interconnected with a plurality of interconnection structures; at least two interconnection structure brackets, wherein a first of the at least two interconnection structure brackets is connected to one of the plurality of interconnection structures of the upper frame and a second of the at least two interconnection structure brackets is connected to one of the plurality of interconnection structures of the lower frame, each interconnection structure bracket comprising a hollow tubular section, and at least one chord-engaging structure; and at least one chord secured at a first end to the first of the at least two interconnection structure brackets and at a second end to the second of the at least two interconnection structure brackets.
