Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a cross member for a suspension scaffold.

Background Art

[0002] A cross member attached to the outer edge of a scaffold board to prevent an object or the like from falling from the scaffold is known. Patent Document 1 discloses a cross member formed by bending a strip-shaped member that elastically deforms. The cross member of Patent Document 1 elastically deforms so as to change the position of the lower end edge that abuts against the scaffold board with respect to the vertical support column to which the cross member is attached. Thereby, even if the gap dimension between the scaffold board and the vertical support column is various dimensions, it is possible to prevent a gap from occurring between the scaffold board and the cross member by the cross member of Patent Document 1.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] By the way, in a suspension scaffold installed by being suspended from a structure, a panel member extending in the thickness direction of the tread board may be installed on the tread board on which an operator moves. In the suspension scaffold, if a gap is generated between the tread board and the panel member, there is a possibility that an object may fall from the gap. Further, in a suspension scaffold in a state of being suspended from a structure, the gap dimension between the tread board and the panel member may differ in the width direction of the panel member depending on the deflection of the tread board and the mounting state.

[0005] The baseboard disclosed in Patent Document 1 can cover the gap between the scaffolding board and the vertical support. However, the baseboard, which is made of a bent strip-shaped member, may not be able to adequately cover the gap between the panel member and the tread, where the gap dimensions differ in the width direction of the panel member. Therefore, there is a need for a baseboard for suspended scaffolding that can cover the gap between the panel member and the tread, even if the gap dimensions between the panel member and the tread differ in the width direction of the panel member.

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a baseboard for suspended scaffolding that can cover the gap between the panel member and the tread, even if the gap dimension between the panel member and the tread changes in the width direction of the panel member. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] A toeboard for a suspended scaffold according to one embodiment of the present invention is a toeboard for a suspended scaffold that is attached to a suspended scaffold having a tread, a tread support portion that supports the tread, a panel member that extends in the thickness direction of the tread, and a panel member support portion that is connected to the tread support portion and supports the panel member. The toeboard for the suspended scaffold has a toeboard body that is long in one direction and located on the tread side of the panel member, and a gap covering member that is flexible, extends in the longitudinal direction of the toeboard body and has a predetermined width dimension that covers the gap between the panel member and the tread, and one end in the width direction is connected to the toeboard body (first configuration).

[0008] In suspended scaffolding that is suspended from a structure, panel members may be installed so as to extend in the thickness direction of the step board. In such suspended scaffolding, if there is a gap between the step board and the panel member, there is a possibility that objects may fall. Furthermore, when multiple step boards are installed side by side, the gap dimensions between the step board and the panel member may differ in the width direction of the panel member depending on the deflection and mounting condition of the step board.

[0009] In the above configuration, the gap covering member connected to the baseboard body can cover the gap between the panel member and the tread. Furthermore, the flexible gap covering member can be deformed to conform to the upper surface of the tread. Therefore, the gap covering member can cover the gap even if the gap dimensions between the panel member and the tread differ in the width direction of the panel member. Thus, it is possible to provide a baseboard for suspended scaffolding that can cover the gap between the panel member and the tread even if the gap dimensions between the panel member and the tread in the suspended scaffolding change in the width direction of the panel member.

[0010] In the toeboard for suspended scaffolding according to the first configuration, the toeboard body has a groove that extends in the longitudinal direction and can accommodate the end of the panel member, and the gap covering member is connected to one of the outer surfaces of a pair of side walls that constitute the groove (second configuration).

[0011] As a result, the ends of the panel members are housed within the grooves, allowing the panel members to be positioned relative to the baseboard for the suspended scaffolding, and preventing gaps from forming between the panel members and the baseboard body. Furthermore, since the ends of the panel members can be housed within the grooves, the work efficiency of fixing the panel members in the suspended scaffolding can be improved.

[0012] In the toeboard for suspended scaffolding according to the first or second configuration described above, mounting portions for attaching the toeboard body to the panel member support portion are provided at both ends of the toeboard body in the longitudinal direction (third configuration).

[0013] This allows the baseboard body to be attached to the panel member support by the attachment parts provided at both ends of the baseboard body in the longitudinal direction. Therefore, the baseboard for suspended scaffolding can be attached to the suspended scaffolding more securely.

[0014] In the third configuration of the toeboard for suspended scaffolding described above, in the thickness direction, the position of the attachment part provided at one end of the attachment part provided at both ends of the toeboard body is different from the position of the attachment part provided at the other end (fourth configuration).

[0015] When attaching two toe boards for suspended scaffolding to a single panel member support so that they are adjacent to each other in the width direction of the panel member, the panel member support is fitted with mounting parts for the two toe boards. Therefore, if the two toe boards for suspended scaffolding are to be attached to the panel member support at the same height, there is a possibility that the connection parts will interfere with each other.

[0016] In contrast, in the toe board for suspended scaffolding with the above-described configuration, the mounting portion provided at one end in the longitudinal direction and the mounting portion provided at the other end in the longitudinal direction are located at different positions in the thickness direction of the scaffolding board in the suspended scaffolding to which the toe board for suspended scaffolding is attached. This makes it possible to position the mounting portions of two adjacent toe boards for suspended scaffolding attached to one panel member support at different positions in the thickness direction. Thus, the two toe boards for suspended scaffolding can be attached to the one panel member support at the same height position without interfering with each other.

[0017] In the third or fourth configuration of the suspended scaffolding toe board, at least one of the mounting portions provided at both ends of the toe board body is fixed to the panel member support portion (fifth configuration).

[0018] This allows at least one end of the toe board body in the longitudinal direction to be fixed to the panel member support of the suspended scaffolding. Therefore, the toe board for the suspended scaffolding can be securely attached to the suspended scaffolding.

[0019] In the fifth configuration of the toeboard for suspended scaffolding described above, one of the mounting portions provided at both ends of the toeboard body has a mounting groove that opens outward in the longitudinal direction of the toeboard body when viewed in the thickness direction, and the panel member support portion is inserted into the mounting groove, and the other of the mounting portions provided at both ends of the toeboard body is fixed to the panel member support portion (sixth configuration).

[0020] This configuration allows the toe board for suspended scaffolding to be attached to the suspended scaffolding by inserting one of the attachment points provided at both ends of the toe board body into the panel member support, and then fixing the other attachment point to another panel member support. This improves the work efficiency of attaching the toe board for suspended scaffolding to the suspended scaffolding.

[0021] In a toeboard for a suspended scaffolding according to any one of the configurations 1 to 6 above, the longitudinal length of the gap covering member at one end in the width direction connected to the toeboard body is shorter than the longitudinal length of the gap covering member at the other end in the width direction (configuration 7).

[0022] As a result, a notch is formed at the longitudinal end of the gap covering member at one end in the width direction that is connected to the baseboard body, recessed in the longitudinal direction. This notch prevents the gap covering member from interfering with the panel member support portion to which the baseboard for the suspended scaffolding is attached. [Effects of the Invention]

[0023] A toeboard for a suspended scaffold according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a toeboard body that is long in one direction and located on the tread side of the panel member, and a gap covering member that is flexible, extends in the longitudinal direction of the toeboard body and has a predetermined width dimension to cover the gap between the panel member and the tread, and one end in the width direction is connected to the toeboard body.

[0024] As a result, even if the gap dimension between the panel member and the tread board in the suspension scaffold changes in the width direction of the panel member, the flexible gap covering member connected to the width timber main body can cover the gap.

Modes for Carrying Out the Invention

[0026] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the same or corresponding parts are denoted by the same reference numerals and their descriptions are not repeated. Also, the dimensions of the constituent members in each figure do not faithfully represent the dimensions of the actual constituent members and the dimensional ratios of the respective constituent members.

[0027] In the following explanation, the thickness direction of the plate-shaped tread 64 is referred to as the "up-down direction," the thickness direction of the plate-shaped panel member 65 extending in the up-down direction is referred to as the "front-back direction," and the direction perpendicular to the up-down and front-back directions is referred to as the "left-right direction." However, this definition of direction is not intended to limit the orientation of the baseboard 1 for the suspended scaffolding according to the present invention when in use. The thickness direction of the tread 64 includes not only the direction of the normal perpendicular to the surface of the tread 64, but also the direction inclined with respect to the normal direction. That is, the "up-down direction" includes not only the vertical direction, but also the direction inclined with respect to the vertical direction. Similarly, the "front-back direction" includes not only the direction of the normal perpendicular to the surface of the panel member 65, but also the direction inclined with respect to the normal direction. Furthermore, the "left-right direction" is not limited to the direction perpendicular to the up-down and front-back directions, but may be any direction that intersects the up-down and front-back directions.

[0028] Furthermore, in the following explanation, the expressions "fix," "connect," and "attach" (hereinafter referred to as "fixing, etc.") include not only cases where components are directly fixed to each other, but also cases where they are fixed to each other via other components. In other words, in the following explanation, the expressions "fixing, etc." include both direct and indirect fixing of components to each other.

[0029] (Embodiment 1) (Construction of suspended scaffolding) The suspended scaffolding toe board 1 is a toe board attached to the suspended scaffolding 60 to prevent objects from falling from the suspended scaffolding 60. Figure 1 shows an example of a suspended scaffolding 60 to which the suspended scaffolding toe board 1 according to this embodiment is attached. First, the suspended scaffolding 60 to which the suspended scaffolding toe board 1 according to this embodiment is attached will be described with reference to Figure 1. Figure 1 is a perspective view showing a part of the configuration of the suspended scaffolding 60. The suspended scaffolding 60 is installed below a structure by being suspended from the structure using wires or the like. The suspended scaffolding 60 is used in work environments where it is difficult to set up scaffolding on the ground, such as when constructing structures such as bridges.

[0030] As shown in Figure 1, the suspended scaffolding 60 includes a first tread support section 61, a second tread support section 62, a panel member support section 63, a tread 64, a panel member 65, a fixing section 66, and a connecting plate 67. The suspended scaffolding baseboard 1 according to this embodiment is attached to the suspended scaffolding 60. The first tread support section 61, the second tread support section 62, and the panel member support section 63 are connected to each other via the fixing section 66. The tread 64 is connected to the second tread support section 62 via the connecting plate 67. The panel member 65 is connected to the panel member support section 63 via the fixing section 66. The suspended scaffolding baseboard 1 is connected to the panel member support section 63 via the first mounting section 30 and the second mounting section 31 of the suspended scaffolding baseboard 1. The suspended scaffolding 60 is suspended from a structure by a wire (not shown) connected to the fixing section 66.

[0031] The first tread support section 61 is a columnar member extending horizontally. In Figure 1, a pair of first tread support sections 61 extend in one direction and parallel to each other. The second tread support section 62 is a member that is elongated in one direction, extending horizontally and perpendicular to the first tread support section 61. The second tread support section 62 is connected to the pair of first tread support sections 61 at both ends in the longitudinal direction via a fixing section 66.

[0032] The panel member support portion 63 is a columnar member extending in the vertical direction. In Figure 1, the pair of panel member support portions 63 extend vertically and parallel to each other. The panel member support portions 63 are connected to the first tread plate support portion 61 via a fixing portion 66.

[0033] The fixing portion 66 is attached to multiple locations in the longitudinal direction of the first tread support portion 61 and the panel member support portion 63. The first tread support portion 61, the second tread support portion 62, and the panel member support portion 63 are connected to each other via the fixing portion 66.

[0034] The first tread support section 61 can be further connected to a panel member support section other than the two panel member support sections 63 shown in Figure 1. The first tread support section 61 can also be further connected to a second tread support section other than the second tread support section 62 shown in Figure 1. As a result, the suspended scaffolding 60 can be expanded, for example, left and right, front and back, and up and down.

[0035] The stepping board 64 is a plate-shaped member that extends horizontally. The stepping board 64 constitutes the floor surface of the workspace on the suspended scaffolding 60. In other words, the stepping board 64 serves as a work platform on which workers perform their tasks and as a passageway for workers to move around. Tools and other items used for work can also be placed on the stepping board 64.

[0036] The tread 64 is supported by a first tread support 61 and a second tread support 62. More specifically, the tread 64 is spanned between a pair of first tread support 61 and two second tread support 62, extending in the front-rear direction. A connecting plate 67 is positioned on the upper surface of the tread 64 so as to overlap with the second tread support 62 when viewed in the thickness direction of the tread 64. The tread 64 and the connecting plate 67 are fixed to the second tread support 62 by fastening members (not shown).

[0037] Thus, in this embodiment, the tread 64 fixed to the second tread support 62 is supported by the first tread support 61 via the second tread support 62. Note that the suspended scaffolding may also be configured such that the first tread support directly supports the tread. The first tread support 61 and the second tread support 62 correspond to the tread support parts of the present invention.

[0038] The panel member 65 is a plate-shaped member supported by a pair of panel member support parts 63. The panel member 65 is rectangular in shape, extending in the left-right and up-down directions. The panel member 65 is located near the longitudinal end of the step board 64 and extends in the thickness direction of the step board 64. The panel member 65 is attached to the suspended scaffolding 60 to prevent tools used in work from falling from the suspended scaffolding 60 and to prevent workers from stepping off the step board 64. In the following explanation, the direction in which the step board 64 extends relative to the panel member 65 will be referred to as "forward". The direction in which the panel member 65 extends between the pair of panel member support parts 63 is the width direction. This width direction is the same direction as the left-right direction.

[0039] As described above, the treads 64 are positioned via the first tread support portion 61 and the second tread support portion 62, and the panel members 65 are positioned via the panel member support portion 63. Therefore, a gap is formed between the treads 64 and the panel members 65. The toeboard 1 for the suspended scaffolding is attached to the suspended scaffolding 60 to cover the gap between the panel members 65 and the treads 64.

[0040] (Construction of baseboards for suspended scaffolding) Referring to Figures 2 to 4, the configuration of the toe board 1 for suspended scaffolding will be described in detail. As shown in Figures 2 to 4, the toe board 1 for suspended scaffolding has a toe board body 10, a gap covering member 20, a first mounting portion 30, and a second mounting portion 31.

[0041] The baseboard body 10 is a member that is long in one direction. As shown in Figure 4, the baseboard body 10 has a groove 10a that opens at the top when viewed in cross-section. That is, when the baseboard 1 for the suspended scaffolding is attached to the suspended scaffolding 60, the depth direction of the groove 10a is the same direction as the thickness direction of the tread 64. In this embodiment, the baseboard body 10 has a first side wall 11 and a second side wall 12 that extend in the vertical direction and constitute the side surface of the groove 10a, and a bottom wall 13 that constitutes the bottom surface of the groove 10a. The first side wall 11 is longer in the vertical direction than the second side wall 12. The first side wall 11 and the second side wall 12 correspond to the pair of side walls of the present invention.

[0042] The first side wall 11, the second side wall 12, and the bottom wall 13 are integral. The groove 10a extends from one end to the other in the longitudinal direction of the baseboard body 10. The lower end of the panel member 65 can be accommodated in the groove 10a. That is, the position of the lower end of the panel member 65 can be determined by the groove 10a of the baseboard body 10. Since the end of the panel member 65 can be accommodated in the groove 10a, the workability of fixing the panel member 65 on the suspended scaffolding 60 can be improved.

[0043] A first mounting portion 30 is provided at one end of the first side wall 11 in the longitudinal direction. A second mounting portion 31 is provided at the other end of the first side wall 11 in the longitudinal direction. A gap covering member 20 is connected to the outer surface of the first side wall 11.

[0044] As shown in Figure 2, the gap covering member 20 is a sheet-like member that extends in the longitudinal direction of the baseboard body 10. The gap covering member 20 is made of a flexible material such as rubber. That is, the gap covering member 20 is flexibly deformable. The gap covering member 20 has a predetermined width dimension that covers the gap between the tread 64 and the panel member 65.

[0045] The gap covering member 20 has a baseboard fixing portion 21 located at one end in the width direction of the gap covering member 20 and connected to the first side wall 11, a covering portion body 22 extending from the baseboard fixing portion 21 in the width direction of the baseboard body 10, and a tread plate contact portion 23 located at the other end in the width direction of the gap covering member 20.

[0046] The longitudinal length of the baseboard fixing portion 21 is shorter than the longitudinal length of the first side wall 11 to which the gap covering member 20 is fixed. More specifically, when connected to the first side wall 11, one longitudinal end of the baseboard fixing portion 21 is located longitudinally inward from the aforementioned one end of the first side wall 11. When connected to the first side wall 11, the other longitudinal end of the baseboard fixing portion 21 is located longitudinally inward from the aforementioned other end of the first side wall 11.

[0047] The longitudinal length of the covering body 22 on the side of the baseboard fixing portion 21 is the same as that of the baseboard fixing portion 21. The covering body 22 extends in the width direction of the baseboard body 10 from the base end on the side of the baseboard fixing portion 21. The leading edge of the covering body 22 in the width direction protrudes from the base end in one and the other longitudinal direction. That is, the longitudinal length of the end of the covering body 22 located on the side of the tread contact portion 23 is longer than the longitudinal length of the end of the covering body 22 located on the side of the baseboard fixing portion 21.

[0048] The longitudinal length of the tread contact portion 23 is equal to the longitudinal length of the end portion of the covering body 22 located on the tread contact portion 23 side. In other words, the longitudinal length of the tread contact portion 23 is longer than the longitudinal length of the baseboard fixing portion 21.

[0049] In other words, the longitudinal length of the gap covering member 20 at the end on the baseboard fixing portion 21 side is shorter than the longitudinal length at the end on the tread contact portion 23 side. As a result, when viewing the baseboard 1 for the suspended scaffolding in the vertical direction, notches 20a are formed at both ends of the gap covering member 20 in the longitudinal direction. These notches 20a prevent the gap covering member 20 from interfering with the first mounting portion 30 and the second mounting portion 31, which will be described later, when fixing the baseboard 1 for the suspended scaffolding to the panel member support portion 63.

[0050] As shown in Figure 1, with the gap between the panel member 65 and the tread 64 covered by the gap covering member 20, the tread contact portion 23 of the gap covering member 20 is placed on the tread 64. The covering body 22 and the tread contact portion 23 are flexible and deformable with the baseboard fixing portion 21 fixed to the first side wall 11. Therefore, the baseboard 1 for the suspended scaffolding can be positioned so that the tread contact portion 23 follows the upper surface of the tread 64 when attached to the suspended scaffolding 60.

[0051] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the first mounting portion 30 and the second mounting portion 31 are scaffolding clamps for fastening columnar members. The first mounting portion 30 is provided at one end in the longitudinal direction of the first side wall 11 of the baseboard body 10. The second mounting portion 31 is provided at the other end in the longitudinal direction of the first side wall 11 of the baseboard body 10.

[0052] The first mounting portion 30 is fastened to a panel member support portion 63 located on one side of the panel member 65 in the left-right direction. The second mounting portion 31 is fastened to a panel member support portion 63 located on the other side of the panel member 65 in the left-right direction. This allows the baseboard 1 for the suspended scaffolding to be fixed to the suspended scaffolding 60 at both ends in the longitudinal direction. The first mounting portion 30 and the second mounting portion 31 correspond to the mounting portions of the present invention.

[0053] The configuration of the first mounting section 30 and the second mounting section 31 is the same as that of a general scaffolding clamp. Therefore, a detailed explanation of the configuration of the first mounting section 30 and the second mounting section 31 is omitted. Note that the configuration of the first mounting section and the second mounting section may be any configuration as long as it is possible to fix the baseboard 1 for the suspended scaffolding to the panel member support section 63.

[0054] As shown in Figures 2 and 3, the first mounting portion 30 and the second mounting portion 31 are provided on the first side wall 11 at different positions on the first side wall 11 in the vertical direction. That is, in the thickness direction of the tread plate 64, the first mounting portion 30 and the second mounting portion 31 are provided at different positions on the first side wall 11. In detail, as shown in Figure 5, the first mounting portion 30 is provided on the first side wall 11 at a first connection position P1 below the center line P that horizontally crosses the vertical center of the first side wall 11. The second mounting portion 31 is provided on the first side wall 11 at a second connection position P2 above the center line P.

[0055] Figure 6 is a schematic front view of a suspended scaffolding 60 that has been extended in the left-right direction from the suspended scaffolding 60 shown in Figure 1. As shown in Figure 6, for example, in a suspended scaffolding 60 having two treads 64, two toe boards 1 for the suspended scaffolding are fixed to the panel member support 63 by a first mounting part 30 and a second mounting part 31, corresponding to two adjacent treads 64. More specifically, a first mounting part 30 provided on one of the two adjacent toe boards 1 for the suspended scaffolding is attached to one panel member support 63 located between two adjacent toe boards 1 for the suspended scaffolding.

[0056] In this embodiment, as described above, the first mounting portion 30 is provided at a first connection position P1 located at the lower part of the baseboard body 10. The second mounting portion 31 is provided at a second connection position P2 located at the upper part of the baseboard body 10. This prevents interference between the first mounting portion 30 and the second mounting portion 31, even when two suspended scaffolding baseboards 1 are attached to a single panel member support portion 63 at the same height. Therefore, two suspended scaffolding baseboards 1 can be attached to a single panel member support portion 63 at the same height without interfering with each other.

[0057] Next, with reference to Figures 1, 7, and 8, the positional relationship between the footboard 64, panel member 65, and toeboard 1 for suspended scaffolding in the suspended scaffolding 60 to which the toeboard 1 for suspended scaffolding having the above-described configuration is attached will be explained.

[0058] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the toe board 1 for the suspended scaffolding is fixed to a pair of panel member support parts 63 with the lower end of the panel member 65 housed in the groove 10a of the toe board body 10. As shown in Figure 7, the toe board 1 for the suspended scaffolding is attached to the panel member support part 63 so that the lower surface of the toe board 1 and the upper surface of the tread 64 are in contact. Figure 8 shows the state in which the lower surface of the toe board 1 and the upper surface of the tread 64 are separated.

[0059] As shown in Figures 7 and 8, when viewing the panel member 65 from the tread board 64 side, the lower end of the panel member 65 is covered by the baseboard body 10. Therefore, when viewing the panel member 65 in the thickness direction, there is no gap between the baseboard body 10 and the panel member 65.

[0060] The tread contact portion 23 of the gap covering member 20 is placed on the upper surface of the tread 64. The gap covering member 20 is flexible and deforms so that the tread contact portion 23 conforms to the upper surface of the tread 64. That is, even when the toe board 1 for the suspended scaffolding is installed so that the lower surface of the toe board 1 and the upper surface of the tread 64 are in contact, as shown in Figure 7, or when the lower surface of the toe board 1 and the upper surface of the tread 64 are separated, as shown in Figure 8, the gap covering member 20 is flexible and can deform so that the tread contact portion 23 conforms to the upper surface of the tread 64.

[0061] Furthermore, even if the tread 64 is partially separated from the lower surface of the toe board 1 for the suspended scaffolding due to, for example, bending of the tread 64 or the installation conditions, the gap covering member 20 can flexibly deform so that the tread contact portion 23 side conforms to the upper surface of the tread 64. Therefore, in a suspended scaffolding 60 to which the toe board 1 for the suspended scaffolding is attached, even if the gap dimensions between the tread 64 and the panel member 65 differ partially in the width direction of the panel member 65, the gap can be covered by the toe board 1 for the suspended scaffolding.

[0062] As described above, the toe board 1 for suspended scaffolding according to this embodiment is a toe board 1 for suspended scaffolding that is attached to a suspended scaffolding 60 having a tread 64, a first tread support portion 61 that supports the tread 64, a panel member 65 that extends in the thickness direction of the tread 64, and a panel member support portion 63 that is connected to the first tread support portion 61 and supports the panel member 65. The toe board 1 for suspended scaffolding has a toe board body 10 that is long in one direction and located on the tread 64 side of the panel member 65, and a gap covering member 20 that is flexible, extends in the longitudinal direction of the toe board body 10 and is in the form of a sheet having a predetermined width dimension that covers the gap between the panel member 65 and the tread 64, with one end in the width direction connected to the toe board body 10.

[0063] In the suspended scaffolding toeboard 1 with the above configuration, the gap covering member 20 connected to the toeboard body 10 can cover the gap between the panel member 65 and the tread 64. Furthermore, the flexible gap covering member 20 can be deformed to conform to the upper surface of the tread 64. Therefore, the suspended scaffolding toeboard 1 can cover the gap even if the gap dimension between the panel member 65 and the tread 64 differs in the width direction of the panel member 65. In the suspended scaffolding 60, it is possible to provide a suspended scaffolding toeboard 1 that can cover the gap between the panel member 65 and the tread 64 even if the gap dimension between the panel member 65 and the tread 64 changes in the width direction of the panel member 65.

[0064] (Embodiment 2) Next, with reference to Figure 9, the baseboard 101 for suspended scaffolding according to Embodiment 2 will be described. In this embodiment, the configuration of the first mounting portion 130 is different from the configuration of the first mounting portion 30 in Embodiment 1. In the following, the same configuration as in Embodiment 1 will be omitted from the description, and only the configuration that differs from Embodiment 1 will be described.

[0065] As shown in Figure 9, the toe board 101 for suspended scaffolding includes a toe board body 10, a gap covering member 20, a first mounting portion 130, and a second mounting portion 131. The first mounting portion 130 and the second mounting portion 131 correspond to the mounting portions of the present invention.

[0066] The first mounting portion 130 is provided at one end in the longitudinal direction of the first side wall 11 of the baseboard body 10. The second mounting portion 131 is provided at the other end in the longitudinal direction of the first side wall 11 of the baseboard body 10.

[0067] In this embodiment, the first mounting portion 130 has a mounting groove portion 130a that opens outward in the longitudinal direction of the baseboard body 10 when viewed in the vertical direction. The panel member support portion 63 is inserted into the mounting groove portion 130a of the first mounting portion 130. As a result, one end of the baseboard 101 for suspended scaffolding is restricted from moving outward in the longitudinal direction relative to the panel member support portion 63 by the first mounting portion 130. In this embodiment, inserting the first mounting portion 130 into the panel member support portion 63 and fastening the second mounting portion 131 to another panel member support portion is referred to as attaching the baseboard body 10 to the panel member support portion 63.

[0068] In this embodiment, the second mounting portion 131 is a scaffolding clamp for fastening columnar members. The second mounting portion 131 is fastened to the panel member support portion 63. The configuration of the second mounting portion 131 is the same as that of a general scaffolding clamp. Therefore, a detailed explanation of the configuration of the second mounting portion 131 is omitted.

[0069] In other words, in this embodiment, the first mounting portion 130 provided at one end of the baseboard body 10 in the longitudinal direction is not fixed to the panel member support portion 63. The second mounting portion 131 provided at the other end of the baseboard body 10 in the longitudinal direction is fastened to the panel member support portion 63.

[0070] With this configuration, the toe board 101 for the suspended scaffolding can be attached to the suspended scaffolding 60 by inserting the first mounting portion 130 into the panel member support portion 63, and then fastening the second mounting portion 131 to another panel member support portion 63. This improves the work efficiency of attaching the toe board 101 for the suspended scaffolding to the suspended scaffolding 60.

[0071] (Other embodiments) Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the embodiments described above are merely examples for carrying out the present invention. Therefore, the invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, and it is possible to carry out the invention by appropriately modifying the embodiments described above without departing from the spirit of the invention.

[0072] In each of the above embodiments, the toe board 1,101 for the suspended scaffolding is attached to the panel member support 63 via the first mounting portions 30, 130 and the second mounting portions 31, 131. However, the toe board for the suspended scaffolding may be attached to the panel member support by other means. For example, the panel member support may be provided with mounting portions, and the toe board for the suspended scaffolding may be attached to the panel member support via these mounting portions.

[0073] In each of the above embodiments, the first mounting portions 30, 130 and the second mounting portions 31, 131 for attaching the toe board 1,101 for the suspended scaffolding to the panel member support portion 63 are provided at both ends of the toe board 1,101 in the longitudinal direction. However, the first and second mounting portions may also be provided at the ends of the toe board in the short direction. Alternatively, the mounting portions may be provided at only one end of the toe board in the longitudinal direction.

[0074] In each of the above embodiments, the first mounting portions 30, 130 and the second mounting portions 31, 131 are provided at different positions in the vertical direction relative to the baseboard body 10. However, the first mounting portion and the second mounting portion may be provided at the same position in the vertical direction relative to the baseboard body.

[0075] In each of the above embodiments, the first mounting portions 30, 130 are provided below the center line P, and the second mounting portions 31, 131 are provided above the center line P. However, the first mounting portion may be provided above the center line P, and the second mounting portion may be provided below the center line P.

[0076] In each of the above embodiments, the first mounting portions 30, 130 and the second mounting portions 31, 131 are provided on the first side wall 11. However, the first mounting portions and the second mounting portions may be provided on the second side wall.

[0077] In each of the above embodiments, the first mounting portions 30, 130 and the second mounting portions 31, 131 are attached to the baseboard body 10 such that the holes or mounting grooves into which the panel member support portions 63 are inserted are located on the longitudinal outward side of the baseboard body 10 and close to the first side wall 11. This makes it possible to attach the baseboard 1,101 for suspended scaffolding to a suspended scaffolding 60 in which the distance between the panel member 65, whose lower end is inserted into the groove 10a of the baseboard body 10, and the panel member support portion 63 that supports the panel member 65 is short.

[0078] However, the first and second mounting portions may be attached to the baseboard body such that the holes or mounting grooves into which the panel member support portions are inserted are located at a distance from the baseboard body. For example, as shown in Figure 10 for the suspended scaffolding baseboard 201, the first mounting portion 230 may have a connecting portion 232 at the connection point with the first side wall 11 that causes the mounting groove to be spaced apart in the thickness direction of the first side wall 11. The second mounting portion 231 may have a connecting portion 233 at the connection point with the first side wall that causes the hole to be spaced apart in the thickness direction of the first side wall. This makes it possible to attach the suspended scaffolding baseboard 201 to a suspended scaffolding where the distance between the panel member and the panel member support portion is large.

[0079] In the above embodiment 2, the first mounting portion 130 is provided at one end in the longitudinal direction of the baseboard body 10, and the second mounting portion 131 is provided at the other end in the longitudinal direction of the baseboard body 10. However, the first mounting portion may be provided at the other end in the longitudinal direction of the baseboard body, and the second mounting portion may be provided at one end in the longitudinal direction of the baseboard body.

[0080] In each of the above embodiments, the baseboard body 10 and the gap covering member 20 are separate components. However, the baseboard body and the gap covering member may be integrated.

[0081] In each of the above embodiments, the baseboard body 10 has a groove 10a capable of accommodating the lower part of the panel member 65. However, the baseboard body does not have to have a groove. In this case, the baseboard body only needs to be attached to the panel member support so as to cover the tread-side surface of the panel member.

[0082] In each of the embodiments described above, the longitudinal length of the gap covering member 20 on the baseboard fixing portion 21 side is shorter than the longitudinal length on the tread contact portion 23 side. However, the longitudinal length of the gap covering member 20 may be the same in the width direction of the gap covering member 20.

[0083] In Figure 1, the toe board 1 for the suspended scaffolding is attached to the suspended scaffolding 60, in which the panel member 65 is supported by a pair of panel member support parts 63 so as to extend perpendicularly to the treads 64. However, as shown in Figure 11, the toe board 1 for the suspended scaffolding may also be attached to the suspended scaffolding 360, in which the panel member 365 is supported by a pair of panel member support parts so as to extend in a direction other than perpendicular to the treads 364.

[0084] The suspended scaffolding 60 shown in Figure 1 is an example of a suspended scaffolding to which the toe boards 1,101,201 for suspended scaffolding of the present invention are attached. The toe boards for suspended scaffolding of the present invention may also be used in suspended scaffolding having other configurations. [Industrial applicability]

[0085] The present invention can be used in a suspended scaffold where a panel-shaped member extending in the thickness direction of the tread is arranged around the tread. [Explanation of Symbols]
