Abstract
A scaffolding support platform for use with a scaffolding system including a fabricated end frame including a floor having a flat surface adapted to support a worker and a support frame including a base for supporting the floor, a plurality of anchors to releasably attach the support frame to a fabricated end frame and a plurality of support members extending between the base and at least one anchor.
Claims5
An apparatus comprising a scaffolding support platform for use with scaffolding system including a fabricated end frame further comprising:
- a floor wherein the floor comprises a flat surface adapted to support a worker
- a support frame including
- a rectangular base adapted to support the floor having first through fourth corners,
- a plurality of support members each having first and second ends, wherein the first ends of a first vertical support member and at least three diagonal support members are adjacent respectively the first through fourth corners of the base, and extend between said respective corners and the second end of the first support member, and
- a plurality of anchors, including first and second anchors, adapted to releasably attach the support frame to a fabricated end frame, wherein
- the first anchor comprises a horizontal extension from the base in the same plane as the second anchor and wherein the first anchor is characterized by a first side which is opposed to the base and wherein the first side further includes detents adapted to conform to vertical support members of a fabricated end frame and where the first anchor is further adapted to cooperate with a double “C” clamp to releasably affix the first anchor to the fabricated end frame, and
- the second anchor is spaced apart from the base and comprises a horizontal extension from the second end of the first support member, which extension lies in a plane defined by the first and second support members, and wherein the anchor further comprises a plate hook extending from the horizontal extension which is adapted to rest on a rung of a scaffolding end frame.
