Abstract
An elongated clamp for securing a flexible fabric-like shroud to a scaffold support member including two opposed jaws movable between an open and closed position by a one pin and an at-least-one wedge combination. The flexible shroud is held to the support member by the clamp's gripping force. Multiple clamps securable at different points along the various standard support members can provide positive securement of the shroud.
Claims11
An elongate scaffold clamp for use in securing a shroud material to a tubular scaffold member, said clamp comprising:
- a first jaw member having a first engagement flange and first gripping arm;
- a second jaw member opposing the first jaw member and having a second engagement flange and second gripping arm, wherein the first and second gripping arms form an opening to receive said tubular scaffold member therebetween and the first engagement flange is positioned in an overlapping relationship with the second engagement flange opposite the opening;
- a single pin having a first and second end, the single pin extending though corresponding apertures in the first and second engagement flanges for securing said first and second jaw members in opposed relation;
- a first wedge adjustably mounted on the first end of the single pin;
- and
- a second wedge adjustably mounted on the second end of the single pin opposite the first wedge;
- each wedge configured to separately move between a substantially horizontal position and a substantially vertical position;
- wherein the first and second wedges are independently movable about and along the single pin between a release position where the first and second jaw members can be separated and removed from the tubular scaffold member and a closed position where said first and second jaw members are drawn towards one another to effect gripping of said tubular scaffold member inserted between the first and second gripping arms, wherein the closed position comprises the first wedge being placed in the substantially horizontal position and the second wedge being placed in the substantially vertical position.
