Scaffold Assembly And Method Of Use

A scaffold assembly comprising:

• a framework comprising:
• a bottom beam being configured to be positioned between the adjacent columns of a pair of adjacent columns of a structure under construction, the bottom beam having opposed ends configured to reversibly engage the adjacent columns, the opposed ends of the bottom beam being tapered to complement tapers of bases of the adjacent columns of the pair of adjacent columns of the structure under construction;
• a pair of posts, each post of the pair of posts being attached to and extending substantially perpendicularly from the bottom beam proximate to a respective opposed end of the bottom beam;
• and
• a top beam being attached to and extending between the posts distal from the bottom beam, the top beam being dimensionally longer than the bottom beam defining a pair of extensions, wherein each extension of the pair of extensions is configured to be positioned atop a respective adjacent column of the pair of adjacent columns, such that the framework is supported by the pair of adjacent columns and is spaced apart from a workpiece extending between the adjacent columns;
• a plate attached to the bottom beam and extending substantially perpendicularly from the framework toward the workpiece, wherein the plate provides a platform for a user to sit or stand upon to manipulate the workpiece and wherein the top beam is configured to prevent the user from falling from the platform;
• a barrier attached to the framework and extending across a space defined by the pair of posts, the top beam, and the bottom beam, wherein the barrier is configured to prevent the user from falling through the space, the barrier comprising a pair of crossbeams, each crossbeam of the pair of crossbeams being attached to and extending between the posts of the pair of posts;
• a pair of bars, each bar being attached to and extending between the plate and a respective post of the pair of posts, such that the pair of bars supports the plate relative to the framework;
• a front beam being attached to the plate and extending in parallel with the bottom beam, the front beam having opposite ends configured to reversibly engage the adjacent columns of the pair of adjacent columns, the opposite ends of the front beam being tapered to complement the tapers of the bases of the adjacent columns of the pair of adjacent columns;
• and
• a set of handles attached to the top beam and being configured for grasping in hands of one or more users to lift and to position the framework, each handle comprising a C-ring having opposing ends, the opposing ends being attached to the top beam.
