Definitions
- the invention relates to scaffolding systems, and more particularly to scaffolding systems which can be constructed using standard lumber.
- Scaffolding has long been used to support workers who are working above the ground on the wall of a building, for example carpenters, painters, brick layers, sandblasters etc. It is of course important that scaffolding systems be secure, easily assembled, and break down into easily transportable sections.
- scaffolding systems consist of a framework of metal pipes, but some scaffolding systems use metal brackets to secure standard lumber to form the vertical and/or horizontal members. This permits the scaffolding to be more economically constructed on a construction site utilizing lumber already available on the site. See for example Ingerman United States Patent no. 2,321,916 issued June 15, 1943, and Adams, Sr. United States Patent no. 6,004,063 issued December 21, 1999.
- Such systems have required that the brackets be fastened to the lumber using screws or bolts. This makes assembly and disassembly of the systems difficult and time-consuming, and may result in connections becoming loose.
- the present invention therefore provides a kit for constructing scaffolding using standard lumber sizes, comprising: a) a plurality of right angle brackets, each comprising a first hollow sleeve for slidably receiving a first piece of lumber and a second hollow sleeve secured at right angles to the first hollow sleeve for slidably receiving a second piece of lumber, a pin associated with each of the first and second hollow sleeves, the first and second hollow sleeves being each provided with a hole for receiving the pin; b) a plurality of base elements each comprising a third hollow sleeve for slidably receiving an end of a piece of lumber, a ground-engaging element connected to the third hollow sleeve, and a pin, wherein the third hollow sleeve is provided with a hole for receiving the pin; and c) a plurality of bracing elements for bracing against a vertical surface, each comprising a fourth hollow sleeve for slidably receiving an end of a piece
- the invention further provides a right angle bracket for use in erection of scaffolding, wherein the scaffolding is erected using a plurality of lumber pieces of pre-determined standard cross-sectional dimensions, the bracket comprising a first hollow sleeve sized to slidably receive a first of the pieces of lumber, a second hollow sleeve secured at right angles to the first hollow sleeve for slidably receiving a second of the pieces of lumber, and a pin associated with each of the first and second hollow sleeves, the first and second hollow sleeves being each provided with a hole for receiving the pins.
- the invention further provides a scaffold structure comprising at least two such right angle brackets, at least two vertical support elements each comprising a standard sized piece of lumber slidably received in each of the first hollow sleeves of the right angle brackets, and at least two horizontal support elements each comprising a standard sized piece of lumber slidably received in each of the second hollow sleeves of the right angle brackets; wherein each of the vertical and horizontal support elements is provided with a hole for receiving one of the pins.

- Fig. 2 is a perspective view of an assembled scaffolding system in a second configuration according to the invention
- Fig. 3 is a detailed perspective view of a 90 degree angle bracket according to the invention
- Fig. 4 is a detailed perspective view of a base plate according to the invention
- Fig. 5 is a detailed perspective view of a wall plate according to the invention
- Fig. 6 is a detailed perspective view of a fascia plate according to the invention.
- Fig. 7 is a detailed perspective view of a platform support bracket according to the invention.
- the present system forms a scaffolding framework 10, supported against wall 8 of house 6 having roof 4, gable 3 and fascia 5, using standard sizes of wooden lumber for uprights 12, horizontal members 14, and walkways 16.
- the standard sizes are preferably 2x6, 2x8, 2x10 or 2x12.
- the lumber pieces can be joined to form any size or configuration of scaffolding using five primary metal elements: 90 degree angle brackets 17, base plates 18, wall plates 20, fascia plates 24 and platform support brackets 22.
- wall plates 20 are used to brace the scaffolding 10 directly to wall 8 whereas in Fig. 2 fascia plates 21 are used to brace the scaffolding 10 to fascia 5.
- 90 degree angle bracket 17 is used to secure two pieces of wooden lumber 12, 14 at right angles. It consists of hollow horizontal sleeve 21 welded to hollow vertical sleeve 23. Sleeves 21, 23 are sized to snugly receive the lumber 12, 14 which are of standard lumber sizes. The lumber pieces 12, 14 are drilled to receive pins 26 which extend through holes 15 in sleeves 21, 23 and are prevented from slipping out by cotter pins 27 (see Fig. 6) and which secure the lumber in place.
- base plate 18 is secured to the foot of vertical member 12. It consists of hollow vertical sleeve 25 welded to circular plate 29. Sleeve 25 is sized to snugly receive the lumber 12 which is of standard lumber size. Vertical member 12 can be of variable height to adapt to different ground conditions. The vertical member 12 is drilled to receive pin 26 which extends through hole 15 in sleeve 25 and is prevented from slipping out by cotter pin 27, thereby securing the lumber 12 in place.
- wall plate 20 is secured to the end of horizontal member 14. It consists of hollow sleeve 31 welded to circular plate 33, which can be attached by screws or the like through holes 35 directly to the wall 8. Sleeve 31 is sized to snugly receive the lumber 14 which is of standard lumber size. The lumber piece 14 is drilled to receive pin 26 which extends through hole 45 in sleeve 31 and is prevented from slipping out by cotter pin 27, thereby securing the lumber 14 in place to the plate 33.
- the plate 33 may be pivotable on sleeve 31 to adapt to different angles, or fixed by welding or the like.
- fascia plate 24 is secured to the end of horizontal member 14. It consists of hollow sleeve 37 secured to rectangular plate 39, which can be attached by screws or the like through holes 40 directly to the fascia 5 or gable 3.
- Sleeve 37 is sized to snugly receive the lumber 14 which is of standard lumber size.
- the lumber piece 14 is drilled to receive pin 26 which extends through hole 55 in sleeve 37 and is prevented from slipping out by cotter pin 27, thereby securing the lumber 14 in place to the plate 39.
- the plate 39 may be a separate piece from sleeve 37 secured thereto by a bolt or other fastener through holes 44 in plate 39 and the face of sleeve 37, shown in dotted outline in Fig.
- plate 39 on sleeve 37 can be adapted for different angles of gables etc.
- plate 39 can be fixed to sleeve 37 by welding or the like. Use of such bracing to fascia 5 or gable 3 allows unrestricted access to the wall for brickwork, stucco, siding etc.
- Platform support bracket 22 is shown in Fig. 7. It has a plate 52 and a channel 54 which sits on horizontal member 14, and holes 56 to receive screws to extend into the underside of walkway members 16 so that members 16 are stable and secure on horizontal members 14.
- the bracket elements are constructed from 3/8-inch thick aluminum plate, and the pins are 1/2-inch diameter aluminum pins.
- the contractor can quickly construct sturdy, safe scaffolding by drilling the lumber in the appropriate locations and pinning the brackets in place. When the job is completed, the pins are simply removed and the brackets transported to the next site.
