Abstract
A series of horizontally spaced tubular metal frames each include a pair of vertical short and long leg members rigidly connected by an inclined support member having a projecting upper end portion. The leg members are removably connected to the top ends of vertically aligned legs of a tubular metal scaffold assembly positioned adjacent a building. The inclined support members receive connector members connected to the building roof or ridge members connected by horizontal support members and supported by vertical posts resting on the roof or floor. A flexible light transmitting plastic film is supported by the inclined support members and ridge connector members to enclose the frames and scaffold assembly, and the film has an edge portion clamped to the roof or floor.
Claims7
A protective scaffold enclosure system adapted to be positioned adjacent a building, said system comprising a plurality of horizontally spaced scaffold units each having a pair of vertical legs, a set of tie members rigidly connecting said legs of adjacent said scaffold units, a corresponding plurality of horizontally spaced cover support frames each including a short leg member and a long leg member generally aligned with said vertical legs of the corresponding said scaffold units, each of said cover support frames also including an inclined cover support member rigidly connecting the corresponding said leg members, means for releasably connecting said leg members of each said cover support frame to the corresponding said legs of said scaffold units with said leg members projecting upwardly from said legs, a corresponding plurality of ridge connectors for said cover support frames, means releasably connecting each of said ridge connectors to the corresponding said inclined cover support member of the corresponding said cover support frame, a corresponding plurality of generally vertical post members having upper portions releasably connected to the corresponding said ridge connectors and having bases adapted to be supported by a floor of the building, a plurality of generally horizontal cover support members extending laterally of said cover support frames and releasably connecting said ridge connectors for adjacent said cover support frames, a flexible cover extending over said cover support frames and said ridge connectors and said horizontal cover support members and projecting downwardly over said scaffold units, and said flexible cover having a generally vertical upper portion extending downwardly from said ridge connectors and said horizontal cover support members adjacent said post members.
A protective scaffold enclosure system adapted to be positioned adjacent a building, said system comprising a plurality of horizontally spaced scaffold units each having a pair of vertical legs, a set of tie members rigidly connecting said legs of adjacent said scaffold units, a corresponding plurality of horizontally spaced cover support frames each including a short leg member and a long leg member generally aligned with said vertical legs of the corresponding said scaffold units, each of said cover support frames also including a linear cover support member connecting the corresponding said leg members and extending at an incline of about thirty degrees, means for releasably connecting said leg members of each said cover support frame to the corresponding said legs of said scaffold units with said leg members projecting upwardly from said legs, a corresponding plurality of ridge connectors for said cover support frames, coupling means releasably connecting each of said ridge connectors to the corresponding said inclined cover support member of the corresponding said cover support frame, a corresponding plurality of generally vertical post members having upper portions releasably connected to the corresponding said ridge connectors and supported by screw jacks adapted to rest on a floor of the building, a plurality of generally horizontal cover support members extending laterally of said cover support frames and releasably connecting said ridge connectors for adjacent said cover support frames, a flexible cover extending over said cover support frames and said ridge connectors and said horizontal cover support members and projecting downwardly over said scaffold units, and said flexible cover having a generally vertical upper portion extending downwardly from said ridge connectors and said horizontal cover support members adjacent said post members and having an edge portion extending under said screw jacks.
