Claims26
An apparatus comprising
- a scaffold including a platform and a pair of leg units, the platform is longer than it is wide so as to include first and second longitudinal end portions, each leg unit is mounted to one of the longitudinal end portions,
- a utility tray, and
- means for mounting the utility tray to the first longitudinal end portion for pivotable movement of the utility tray relative to the platform about a first pivot axis between an upright position in which the utility tray is elevated higher than the scaffold for use of the utility tray by a person on the platform and a collapsed position in which the utility tray is positioned next to the second longitudinal end portion and for pivotable movement of the utility tray about a second pivot axis to flip the utility tray over in response to pivotable movement of the utility tray about the first pivot axis between the upright and collapsed positions.
An apparatus comprising
- a scaffold including a platform and a pair of leg units mounted to the platform,
- a utility tray including a ton side formed to include a receptacle portion and an opposite bottom side, and
- a tray mount to which the utility tray is mounted, the tray mount being mounted to the platform for pivotable movement relative thereto to pivot the utility tray between an upright position in which the utility tray is elevated higher than the scaffold for use by a person on the platform and the ton side is arranged to face away from the platform and a collapsed position in which the utility tray is positioned next to the platform and the ton side is arranged to face toward the platform.
An apparatus comprising
- a scaffold including a platform and a pair of leg units mounted to the platform,
- a utility tray, and
- a tray mount to which the utility tray is mounted, the tray mount being mounted to the platform for pivotable movement relative thereto to pivot the utility tray between an upright position in which the utility tray is elevated higher than the scaffold for use by a person on the platform and a collapsed position in which the utility tray is positioned next to the platform, wherein the tray mount includes a collapsible tray stand including a first tray pivoter and a second tray pivoter, the first tray pivoter is mounted to the platform for pivotable movement relative thereto about a stand pivot axis to pivot the utility tray about the stand pivot axis between the upright and collapsed positions, and the second tray pivoter is arranged to pivot the utility tray relative to the first tray pivoter about a tray pivot axis to flip the utility tray over in response to pivotable movement of the first tray pivoter.
An apparatus comprising
- a scaffold including a platform and a pair of leg units mounted to the platform,
- a utility tray, and
- a tray mount to which the utility tray is mounted, the tray mount being mounted to the platform for pivotable movement relative thereto to pivot the utility tray between an upright position in which the utility tray is elevated higher than the scaffold for use by a person on the platform and a collapsed position in which the utility tray is positioned next to the platform, wherein the platform is longer than it is wide so as to have a platform longitudinal axis, the tray mount is pivotable about a pivot axis to pivot the utility tray between the upright and collapsed positions, and the pivot axis is perpendicular to the platform longitudinal axis, wherein the platform includes first and second longitudinal end portions, each leg unit is mounted to one of the longitudinal end portions, and the tray mount is mounted to the first longitudinal end portion for pivotable movement about the pivot axis to pivot the utility tray toward and away from the second longitudinal end portion.
An apparatus comprising
- a scaffold including a platform and a pair of leg units, the platform is longer than it is wide so as to include first and second longitudinal end portions, each leg unit is mounted to one of the longitudinal end portions,
- a utility tray unit including a utility tray and a tray mount, the tray mount including a collapsible tray stand and a stand lock, the tray stand being mounted to the first longitudinal end portion for pivotable movement to pivot the utility tray relative to the platform between an upright position in which the utility tray is elevated higher than the scaffold for use by a person on the platform and a collapsed position in which the tray stand extends from the first longitudinal end portion toward the second longitudinal end portion to position the utility tray next to the second longitudinal end portion, and the stand lock is arranged to block pivotable movement of the tray stand when the utility tray is positioned in the upright position.
An apparatus comprising
- a scaffold including a platform, at least one step and a pair of leg units mounted to the platform, wherein the at least one step is located substantially midway from the platform to a lower end of one of the leg units,
- a utility tray, and
- a tray mount to which the utility tray is mounted, the tray mount being mounted to the platform for pivotable movement relative thereto to pivot the utility tray between an upright position in which the utility tray is elevated higher than the scaffold for use by a person on the platform and a collapsed position in which the utility tray is positioned next to the platform
- wherein the at least one step is coupled to the scaffold to enable stepping onto the step then up onto the platform.

An apparatus comprising
- a scaffold including a platform and two pair of leg units mounted to the platform,
- a utility tray, and
- a tray mount to which the utility tray is mounted, the tray mount being mounted to the platform for pivotable movement relative thereto to pivot the utility tray between an upright position in which the utility tray is elevated higher than the scaffold for use by a person on the platform and a collapsed position in which the utility tray is positioned next to the platform
- wherein the pairs of leg units are constructed to remain stationary with respect to the platform as the tray moves to and from the upright and collapsed positions.
