Abstract
An elongated clamp for securing a flexible fabric-like shroud to a scaffold support member including two opposed jaws movable between an open and closed position by a one pin and an at-least-one wedge combination. The flexible shroud is held to the support member by the clamp's gripping force. Multiple clamps securable at different points along the various standard support members can provide positive securement of the shroud.
Claims12
An elongate shroud securing scaffold clamp for use in securing a shroud material to a tubular scaffold member, said clamp comprising:
- first and second opposed jaw members opening on one side to receive said tubular scaffold member therebetween;
- each jaw member on a side opposite said one side, including an engagement flange in overlapping relationship with the engagement flange of the other jaw member, said jaw members being adjustably secured in opposed relationship by a pin and wedge combination, said combination comprising a single pin;
- and
- said pin and wedge being retained at one end of said opposed engagement flanges, said wedge being movable from a release position where the jaws can be separated to provide an opening between said jaw members on said one side to a closed position where said pin and wedge draw said jaws towards one another to effect gripping about said tubular scaffold member inserted between said jaws,
- wherein said pin and wedge is pivotally supported in said engagement flanges and rotatable to allow alignment of said wedge along said engagement flanges or across said engagement flanges to effect movement of jaws towards one another, said wedge when positioned across said engagement flange being movable to engage one of said jaw members at a position spaced from said engagement flange and urge the jaw member to said closed position.
