Benefits of technology

The apparatus described in this patent allows workers to safely stand on the floor while a roof truss is being lowered onto the wall. This makes the workers safer, and the scaffold is stronger and more stable because it uses a prefabricated floor panel that is securely engaged in place on the wall supporting members. Overall, this new and improved scaffold provides better safety, reliability, and efficiency in construction.

Problems solved by technology

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.

Embodiment Construction

[0045]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.

[0046]Turning to FIGS. 1-8, there is shown a first 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.

[0047]In the first 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 floor members 24 are supported by the wall-supportable units 12, and a fence unit 16 is connected to the plurality of wall-supportable units 12.

[0048]Preferably, each of the wall-supportable units 12 includes a wall-contacting riser po...

Abstract

A safety platform scaffold apparatus is provided having a plurality of wall-supportable units, each with a floor support portion. A work platform is removably mountable on the floor support portions by suitable connectors affixed to the opposed ends of the platform. The opposed connectors are complimentary to each other so that they can be nested together on the same floor support portion thereby enabling a multiplicity of wall supportable units to be mounted on a wall with juxtaposed side-by-side platforms defining a smooth, flat, continuous work surface and wherein the platforms interlock with each other and the wall-supportable unit floor portions.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION[0001]The present application is a continuation-in-part of my prior pending application Ser. No. 14 / 121,567, filed Sep. 19, 2014, entitled “Safety Platform Scaffold Apparatus,” and claims priority based upon said prior, pending application for all purposes. By this reference, my prior pending application Ser. No. 14 / 121,567 hereby is incorporated in and made part of this application.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates generally to scaffolds, and, more particularly, to scaffold especially adapted for a person who performs framing operations on a roof truss.[0004]2. Description of the Prior Art[0005]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...
