Benefits of technology

[0008]The present invention suspends a bosun's chair to enable a user to work on the elevated portions of a building. This is accomplished by means of a sturdy frame erected by means of two “legs” connected together to form an A-frame shape. Each leg is assembled using multiple pole sections fitted together by conventional outer bonded ferrules. The pole sections are composed of carbon fiber in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, although they can also be made of other materials such as fiberglass or aluminum due to the high cost of carbon fiber. Each leg has at its base a pole footing attached to its lowermost pole section by means of a pivot and a base support rod. The pivot and base support rod are composed of steel in the preferred embodiment, although they can also be made of material of equivalent durability. Underneath each pole footing is matting of rubber or equivalent material to increase the present invention's stability. A summit support rod i

Example

[0016]Bosun's chairs suspended from the top of very high buildings have been used for many years. Yet they cannot be used for buildings of several stories height because those buildings are not tall enough for a bracing apparatus to be attached to the roof. The present invention remedies this problem, eliminating the need for a user to employ a ladder elevated to unsafe heights when working on the exterior of a building.

[0017]FIG. 1 shows a front view of the present invention assembled for use in its preferred embodiment. The present invention utilizes a sturdy A-frame erected by means of a first leg (10) and a second leg (20) connected together by an inner ring (150) at the summit of the present invention. Each of the two legs (10 and 20) is assembled using six pole sections (70), with each pole section (70) six feet in length. These pole sections (70) are joined together by conventional outer bonded ferrules (80), each of which connects together two pole sections (70), with each p...

Abstract

A bracing system for providing seated stability to workers requiring a means of elevation in order to access the exteriors of buildings of several stories height. The present invention suspends a bosun's chair by means of a sturdy frame erected by means of two “legs” connected together to form an A-frame shape. Each leg is assembled using multiple pole sections fitted together by ferrules. A summit support rod, fitted to where the legs come together at the summit, leans against the building.

Description

CONTINUITY DATA[0001]This is a non-provisional patent application claiming priority to U.S. provisional patent application No. 61 / 361,423, filed on Jul. 4, 2010.BACKGROUND OF THE PRESENT INVENTION[0002]The present invention is a movable bosun's chair support apparatus and bracing system that provides seated stability to painters, window washers, and other workers who require a means of elevation in order to access the exteriors of buildings that have a height of several stories.[0003]Window washing bosun's chair systems that hang suspended from the top of high buildings have been used for many years. Yet these systems cannot be used for smaller structures of several stories height, because those structures are not tall enough for a bracing apparatus to be attached to the roof. For these smaller structures, before the creation of the present invention, the only way to get up high enough was to use a ladder.[0004]A ladder is a device designed to provide safe access to a workstation, b...
