Abstract
A beam assembly for a scaffold system includes a support beam configured to couple with a plurality of modular components to allow the beam assembly to be built around a variety of different sized and shaped structures. The support beam having an upper attachment mount, a lower attachment mount, and a web member extending between and interconnecting the upper attachment mount and the lower attachment mount. The support beam having a plurality of holes of differing diameters to allow for the modular coupling with other scaffolding components.
Claims35
A beam assembly for use with a scaffolding system, the beam assembly comprising:
- a first support beam that extends axially relative to an axis and configured to provide structural support for the scaffolding system, the first beam support including:
- an upper attachment mount having a first width transverse to the axis, the upper attachment mount formed to define a plurality of first through holes that extend transverse to the axis through the upper attachment mount, the plurality of first through holes having a first diameter and being spaced apart from one another axially with a preset spacing distance,
- a lower attachment mount spaced apart vertically from the upper attachment mount, the lower attachment mount having a second width transverse to the axis, the lower attachment mount formed to define a plurality of second through holes that extend transverse to the axis through the lower attachment mount, the plurality of second through holes having a second diameter equal to the first diameter, and the plurality of second through holes being spaced apart from one another axially with the preset spacing distance,
- a web member that extends vertically between and interconnects the upper attachment mount and the lower attachment mount, the web member having a third width transverse to the axis that is smaller than the first width and the second width to define a channel vertically between the upper attachment mount and the lower attachment mount on two sides of the first support beam,
- wherein the web member is formed to define a plurality of third through holes that extend transverse to the axis through the web member, the plurality of third through holes having a third diameter that is greater than the first diameter and the second diameter, and the plurality of third through holes being spaced apart from one another axially with the preset spacing distance.
