Cantilevered supplementary support platform for modular scaffold

A scaffold connection assembly for use with modular scaffolding of the type formed from a matrix of interconnected scaffold bays supported on a base, the connection assembly being adapted to connect a first scaffold bay to a second scaffold bay, and including:

• a first connecting element including a first pair of connecting formations laterally spaced apart by a predetermined first distance and adapted for connection to adjacent inner standards of the respective first and second scaffold bays;
• a second connecting element including a second pair of connecting formations respectively defining terminal ends of an intermediate bridge section and being laterally spaced apart by a predetermined second distance, the second pair of connecting formations being adapted for connection to adjacent outer standards of the respective first and second scaffold bays;
• the first distance being different from the second distance, such that upon engagement of the connection assembly between the first and second scaffold bays, the first scaffold bay is oriented obliquely with respect to the second scaffold bay;
• wherein the outer standards of the corresponding first and second scaffold bays include respective lugs of a V-press fitting, each of the lugs defining a generally V-shaped aperture adapted for releasable engagement by a corresponding generally wedged shaped locking pin, whereby upon engagement each of the locking pins extends downwardly through the aperture of the respective lug so as releaseably to lock the corresponding connecting formation to the respective outer standard;
• the lugs being aligned with the respective first and second scaffold bays and the connecting formations of the second pair being fixedly secured to the bridge section at a predetermined oblique angle relative to one another, such that upon engagement of the second connecting element the connecting formations of the second pair are substantially aligned with the respective lugs while accommodating the oblique orientation between the adjoining first and second scaffold bays.
