Modular scaffold horizontal end connector

A locking scaffold end connector comprising an end connector comprising two sides, a front and a rear portion and a top and a bottom portion, and an interior defined between said two sides, a top hook section positioned on each side at said front portion of said end connector for engagement with a vertical scaffold member, and a locking latch, said locking latch comprising:

• a latch member pivoting within said interior about a pivot axis extending between said sides, said latch member having a catch, a latch handle end and an engagement end, said latch handle end and said engagement end extending outside said interior of said end connector, said engagement end positioned below said top hook section, said latch member pivotable between a latched position and a released position, said latch member biased to said latched position, said latched position adapted to latch said scaffold end connector to said a vertical scaffold member;
• a lock member pivoting about a pivot axis extending between said sides within said interior, said lock member pivot axis and said latch member pivot axis being vertically spaced apart, said lock member having a catch for engaging said catch of said latch member, said lock member having a lock handle end extending outside said interior of said end connector, said lock member pivotable between a locked position and an unlocked position, said lock member biased to said locked position;
• said catches of said latch member and said lock member adapted to engage one another when said latch member is in said latched position and said lock member is in said locked position, thereby resisting rotation of said latch member to said released position;
• wherein said lock handle end is spaced apart from said latch handle end and said lock member and said latch member are pivotable in said interior so that when said lock handle end and said latch handle end pivot towards each other said catches of said latch member and said lock member rotate away from each other to position said lock member to said unlocked position and said latch member to said released position.
