A dismantlable, multi-story facade scaffold is formed of at least four vertical support elements and floor plates and railing elements which are mounted thereto. An additional scaffold story is erected by coupling an additional vertical support element to an already existing one and pivotally attaching one end of a railing element thereto at a location above where the floor plate for the next story will be placed. The other end of that railing element is pivotally attached to another vertical support element. This other vertical support element is then raised, thereby pivotally moving the rail element relative to the respective vertical support element until the rail element is in a horizontal position and the vertical support element is in the vertical position. The other vertical support element is now attached to the upper end of a corresponding vertical support of the lower scaffold story. Thereafter the floor plate for the additional scaffold story is installed so that a worker stepping on the floor plate of the higher story is protected from the very beginning against falling off. The connections between the ends of the railing and the respective vertical support elements are disengageable when they are in relatively inclined positions and become locked when the railing is perpendicular to the support elements. The scaffold is dismantled by reversing this procedure.
A dismantlable facade scaffold comprising at least four upright, lower support elements, at least one lower floor plate, and at least one lower railing element secured to lower support elements to define a lower story of the scaffold, first and second, spaced-apart upper support elements for attachment to upper ends of and in substantial vertical alignment with corresponding lower support elements for an additional, upper story of the scaffold, an upper railing element for forming a safety rail for the upper story of the scaffold, first and second pivotal connections formed by the first and second upper support elements and the upper railing element permitting relative rotational movements between the first upper support element attached to the upper end of the corresponding lower support element and the upper railing element between a horizontal orientation of the upper railing element and an inclined orientation of the upper railing element in which a free end of the upper railing element is proximate the lower floor plate, the pivotal connections being located proximate upper ends of the upper support elements and permitting separation of the first and second upper support elements when the upper railing element is in its inclined orientation so that a first end of the upper railing element can be pivotally attached to the first upper support element with the upper railing element in its inclined orientation, and the inclined upper railing element can be raised from the inclined into the horizontal orientation when the second upper support element is connected to a second end of the upper railing element by the second pivotal connection and attaching a lower end of the second upper support element to and in substantial alignment with a corresponding one of the lower support elements.
