The standard may comprise of an elongate pipe to which there is secured at least one rosette of a kind that presents a plurality of apertures about the pipe at which a connection to said standard can be established by other scaffolding components. The bridge is capable of connection to said rosette at at least two said apertures, said bridge allowing a scaffolding component to be secured thereto to be positioned and supported by said bridge at a location not catered for by any aperture of said rosette.
Claims24
A modular scaffolding system that comprises:
- a. a scaffolding standard comprising an elongate pipe to which there is secured at least one rosette of a kind that presents a plurality of apertures about the pipe at which a connection to said standard can be established by other scaffolding components, and
- b. a ledger that includes at each of its distal ends a head that is of a shape and configuration to allow it to be secured (whether on its own or with another element) at said rosette at a said aperture thereof, and
- c. a bridge capable of connection to said rosette at at least two said apertures, said bridge allowing a said ledger or other scaffolding component to be secured thereto at a location not catered for by any aperture of said rosette.
A scaffold structure that comprises:
- a. a plurality of scaffolding standards each comprising of an elongate pipe to which there is secured at least one rosette of a kind that presents a plurality of apertures about the pipe at which a connection to said standard can be established by other scaffolding components, and
- b. a plurality of ledgers that are each secured at said rosette at a respective aperture thereof by virtue of each ledger having at its distal ends a head that is of a shape and configuration to allow it to be so secured, and
- c. a bridge connected to a said rosette at at least two said apertures thereof, said bridge securing one of said ledgers or other scaffolding component at a location not catered for by any aperture of said rosette and extending in a direction that is not parallel and is not perpendicular to any ledgers secured directly to said rosettes.
A scaffold structure system that comprises:
- a. a plurality of scaffolding standards each comprising of an elongate pipe to which there is secured at least one rosette of a kind that presents a plurality of apertures about the pipe at which a connection to said standard can be established by other scaffolding components, and
- b. a plurality of ledgers each able to be secured at said rosette at a respective aperture thereof by virtue of each ledger having at its distal ends a head that is of a shape and configuration to allow it to be so secured, and
- c. a bridge able to be connected to said rosette at at least two said apertures thereof, said bridge locating a ledger at a location not catered for by any aperture of said rosette.
