Abstract: An improved intermediate scaffold joint comprising a frame, a first mounting member, a second mounting member, and a vertical stub. The frame has an interior side, an exterior side, and a top side. A lock member is slidable in the interior of the frame. The frame has a rear plate portion that has two openings to accommodate the engagement portions of a horizontal scaffold join, but lacks ½ annular cups.

Abstract: A horizontal scaffold member having a primary end connector and a secondary end connector. Each end connector is configured to couple to a cup or rosette on a vertical scaffold member. Each end connector includes a wedge assembly having a handle and a wedge, movable with respect to the connector to a latched and unlatched position. The primary wedge assembly has a primary and tertiary handles, with the tertiary handles connected to the secondary wedge assembly by a cable, and configured so that moving the primary and tertiary handles simultaneously to an unlatched position also moves the secondary wedge assembly to an unlatched position.

Abstract: A scaffold toeboard system for locking a toeboard between two vertical scaffold members where each vertical scaffold member includes a tubular member having a diameter and an outer shape. The toeboard system includes a toeboard having an elongated member with a fixed terminating end and an adjustable terminating end. The toeboard further includes a front portion, a top portion, a bottom portion and a rear portion. The toeboard system further includes a locking mechanism slidably mounted to the adjustable terminating end, where the locking mechanism includes a lock member body with a front sidewall two fingers positioned on said locking mechanism and extending outwardly from the front sidewall of the locking member. The two fingers separated by a horizontal distance of about the diameter of a scaffold vertical member. The locking mechanism further includes a lock, where the lock is actuatable to fix the position of the lock member body with respect to the toeboard in a deployed position.

Abstract: A method of assembling an offset working surface on a scaffold. The method uses a scaffold knee-out member having a first and second scaffold members that are pivotally connected. A scaffold connector is positioned on an opposite end of each of the first and second scaffold members remote from the pivot point. Preferably, both connectors are pivotally connected to their respective scaffold members. One of the scaffold members of the knee-out end is coupled to a vertical scaffold, and then the other scaffold member of the knee-out is moved appropriately to allow the first and second scaffold members to pivot with respect to each other, until the other scaffold member is positioned to be coupled to a vertical scaffold member.

Abstract: A scaffold truss member and a scaffold truss connector. The scaffold truss member includes lower and upper horizontal members, joined by bracing members. The upper horizontal member terminates at each end with a coupling, while the lower horizontal member terminates without a coupling on either end. The scaffold truss connector includes a lower truss connector that has a channel, open on two ends to accommodate the lower horizontal member of a scaffold truss, and an upper truss connector, which is either integral or joined to the lower truss connector.

Abstract: An improved intermediate scaffold joint comprising a frame, a first mounting member, a second mounting member, and a vertical stub. The frame has an interior side, an exterior side, and a top side. Both the first mounting member and the second mounting member are attached to the frame's exterior side for securing the frame to an existing scaffold structure. A vertical stub is attached to the frame's top side for attaching an intermediate vertical scaffold member to the frame.

A scaffold connector is positioned on the first and second scaffold members remote from the pivot point. Preferably, both connectors are pivotally connected to their respective scaffold members. One of the scaffold members of the knee-out end is coupled to a vertical scaffold, and then the other scaffold member of the knee-out is moved appropriately to allow the first and second scaffold member to pivot with respect to each other, until the other scaffold member to positioned to couple to a vertical scaffold member.

Abstract: The invention is a scaffold access system for use in a scaffold frame of horizontal and vertical scaffold members. The system includes double barrel scaffold horizontal member, a series of short scaffold boards, a series of long scaffold boards, a short vertical scaffold member, a safety gate, and a series of short horizontal members. The double barrel scaffold horizontal member has a upper tube and a lower tube joined in a vertical relationship and a third tube slidable in the lower tube. Each tube has an interior and an exterior end. The upper tube and the third tube have an attachment member positioned on its respective exterior end. The upper tube has an upstanding vertical stub, to which is attached the short vertical scaffold member. The short scaffold boards and the long scaffold boards are placed on the scaffold frame to define a scaffold deck with an access opening.

Abstract: An intermediate scaffold member join comprising a top side, a first side and a second side cooperating to form a channel therebetween. The channel is sized to accept a horizontal scaffold member. The first side has a clamp for attaching to a horizontal scaffold member, the clamp joining a horizontal scaffold member substantially perpendicular to a horizontal scaffold member positioned in the channel. Positioned on the top side is a vertical stub directed away from the channel, where the vertical stub is connectable to a vertical scaffold member.

Abstract: A scaffold pick-up device having a vertical joint clamp which bridges a vertical scaffold joint to stiffen the bridged vertical joint, and a scaffold lift assembly, which attaches onto the top section of a vertical scaffold member and has an attachment point for a shackle or other lifting gear.

Abstract: A scaffold stringer which is a plate and a series of tread mounts attached at substantially uniform distances along the plate, the tread mounts forming an angle with the plate, each tread mount having an associated finger projection positioned above each tread mount and projecting outwardly from the stringer, the scaffold stringer additionally has least one attachment member for attaching the stringer to a scaffold structure.

Abstract: A stackable rack having a frame of vertical members and horizontal members, where each vertical member terminates in a foot portion at one end and a top engagement portion at the other end. The foot portion has a flange for accepting a wheel, and an upward tapering sleeve portion surrounded by the flange, the upward tapered section creating an engagement pocket. The top engagement portion of a vertical member is shaped to be insertable and engagable with the engagement pocket, to allow the top engagement end of one rack to be inserted into the engagement pocket of another rack for stacking racks.

Abstract: A scaffold toeboard system for use on a scaffold where the system includes a bracket attachable to a horizontal scaffold frame member, a first sleeve attached to the bracket, where the sleeve has at least one slot, and a toeboard having two ends, with each end having a clip section which is insertable into the sleeve slot, and a lock, where the lock is a second sleeve slidable with respect to the first sleeve and which engages with the clip section to prevent removal of the toeboard.
