Hanging scaffold

A hanging scaffold comprising:

• a scaffolding member having a work floor;
• a chain formed by connecting a plurality of annular-shaped chain elements in a row and suspending the scaffolding member;
• and
• a chain coupling device installed in the scaffolding member and coupling the chain to the scaffolding member, wherein
• when a side facing a hole of the chain element is a front side, a width of the chain element viewed from the front side is a lateral width, and a width of the chain element viewed from a side is a vertical width,
• the chain coupling device includes:
• a cylindrical body in which an axis is along a vertical direction and the chain is inserted inside;
• and
• a stopper that has a notch with a width narrower than the lateral width of the chain element and wider than the vertical width of the chain element and abuts on a lower end of the cylindrical body,
• the stopper includes a fitting portion that is fitted to a lower end of the cylindrical body in the vertical direction,
• an outer periphery of the lower end of the cylindrical body is fitted inside the fitting portion, and
• the chain coupling device includes a pressing means that is provided at an upper end of the fitting portion and is movable toward and away from the outer periphery of the cylindrical body.
