Safety platform scaffold apparatus

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...
