Benefits of technology

The present invention is a scaffolding system for roofs that solves various problems associated with working on roofs, such as risk of injury, posture issues, and damage to roofing materials. The scaffolding system includes a shuttle for lifting roofing sheet up to the roof and quick release fasteners for securing the roofing sheet to the shuttle. The system also includes a design that allows for easy transportation of roofing sheet and other materials up to the roof, as well as a function to secure the roofing sheet to the shuttle while in use on the roof. The technical effects of the invention include improved safety for workers, improved efficiency in work, and reduced risk of damage to roofing materials.

Problems solved by technology

For example, it does not solve the problem of moving roofing sheet and the like up to the roof in a simple and effective way.
The design lacks, however, a shuttle with which roofing sheet may be moved along an inclined plane to the roof.
The design further lacks quick release fasteners with which roofing sheet may be secured to the shuttle.

Embodiment Construction

[0020]Referring to the drawings, a scaffolding system 1 that for example facilitates and optimizes work on roofs 2 of buildings 3 (the figures show a building 3), in accordance with the present patent application, is shown. The scaffolding system 1 may preferably be used when working with laying or maintaining roofs such as roofing sheet and the like.

[0021]The system 1 includes at least one first roof scaffold 4, and at least one first supporting structure 5 with which the roof scaffold 4 is positioned and supported in relation to the roof, the building and, where appropriate, the ground. The roof scaffold is positioned at a distance from the roof, which for example allows roofing sheet to be conveyed (moved) between the roof scaffold and the roof along the area of the roof. The distance between the roof and the scaffolding is adjustably arranged to a maximum of 300 mm according to the thickness of the roofing sheet or other objects such as building components, equipment, tools and ...

Abstract

The present invention consists of a scaffolding system (1) which is intended for use when working on the roof (2) of a building (3). The scaffolding system (1) is comprised of at least one roof scaffold (4) intended to be positioned relative to the roof with at least one supporting structure (5) comprised of at least one first set of supporting members (11), at least one second set of supporting members (12) and at least one third set of supporting members (13). Unique to the present invention is that the roof scaffold (4) is comprised of elongated parts (9) which run essentially in the roofs direction of slope and crosswise members (10), said roof scaffold (4) positioned at a distance from the roofs (2) surface, which permits objects such as roofing sheet to be moved in the space between the roof scaffold (4) and the roofs (2) surface, and that the scaffolding system (1) includes at least one conveying device (6) by which materials such as roofing sheet (27), other objects and the like may be moved up to the roof (2) and down from the roof on at least one inclined (sloping) plane (20) connected to the roof (2).

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a scaffolding system for roofs and a method for using the scaffolding system when working on roofs, in accordance with the claims.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]There are a number of different types of problems in connection with work on roofs. Firstly, work is performed at a height which poses a significant risk for persons if they fall off the roof with considerable danger of serious injury or in the worst case death from injuries sustained from a fall. In addition to the fall hazard for a person working on the roof, there is also a risk of tools and objects falling down and hurting people or objects on the ground in the area of the workplace. In order to reduce the risk of injury to persons and property in connection with work on roofs, a number of devices such as protective coverings, safety nets and the like have been developed. None however was found to include the corresponding advantages of the present invention....
