Abstract: A scaffolding structure comprising upright members connected together by cross members and including additional members which serve as braces, including at least one brace secured to a member, the brace being provided with at least one transverse pin and the member being provided with an aperture for the reception of the pin, the brace having means captively associated therewith for releasably restraining the brace from movement in a direction longitudinally of the pin.

Abstract: In builders scaffolding of the kind in which cross members are connected to upright members by means of a wedge clamping member extending through apertures in opposed limbs of a C section bracket which is arranged to embrace a socket member secured to the upright member, whereby the wedge clamping member extends through the socket member and urges the limbs of the bracket into pressure engagement with the upright member, the upper limb of the bracket is formed with a depression adapted to enter the open upper end of the socket, whereby the bracket can be made more easily and cheaply than in the previous arrangement in which the upper limb was provided with external dependent lips to engage the outside of the socket member.

Abstract: To enable a scaffolding structure to serve vertically curved structures such as ships' hulls, a joint is provided to allow vertically adjacent scaffold uprights to be relatively inclined to one another in a vertical plane. Transom elements and staging brackets are provided with pivotally mounted means for connection to the inclined uprights so as to enable staging to be carried substantially horizontally.
