Embodiment Construction

[0033]With reference to the drawings, a new and improved safety platform scaffold apparatus embodying the principles and concepts of the present invention will be described.

[0034]Turning to FIGS. 1-8, there is shown a preferred embodiment of the safety platform scaffold apparatus of the invention generally designated by reference numeral 10. In each of the figures, reference numerals are shown that correspond to like reference numerals that designate like elements shown in other figures.

[0035]In the preferred embodiment, safety platform scaffold apparatus 10 is provided for being supported by a wall 13 which has a wall top 11. The apparatus includes a plurality of wall-supportable units 12 for being supported by the wall 13. A plurality of elongated floor members 24 is supported by the wall-supportable units 12, and an elongated fence unit 16 is connected to the plurality of wall-supportable units 12.

[0036]Preferably, each of the wall-supportable units 12 includes a wall-contacting ...

Abstract

A portable safety platform scaffold apparatus includes a plurality of wall-supportable units for being supported by the top portion of a wall. The wall support units each include a wall-top engagement portion, a common removable floor member, and a common removable fence. With the apparatus, a worker can stand on the floor members with the wall-top engagement portions secured on the top of the wall. In this way, the worker is in a safe location when a roof truss is lowered onto the wall.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates generally to scaffolds, and, more particularly, to scaffold especially adapted for a person who perform framing operations on a roof truss.[0003]2. Description of the Prior Art[0004]It is well known in the building construction art that framers, who install roof trusses on the tops of vertical walls, are subject to potential falls and other injuries because they cannot readily tie themselves to the top of a wall upon which a roof truss is installed. In this respect, it would be desirable if a safety platform scaffold apparatus could be provided that keeps those installing roof trusses safe in a number of ways that are not known in the prior art.[0005]Still other features would be desirable in a safety platform scaffold apparatus. For example, it would be readily assembled and disassembled at a work site. Also, it would be relatively light and easy to lift and lower, with respect to the top ...
