  • Patent number: 10995503
    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 edge, a bottom edge, and a rear portion. The toeboard system further includes a second sleeve fixed to the fixed end of the toeboard, and a first sleeve fixed to the adjustable end of the toeboard. Slidably positioned in the first sleeve is a slide lock sleeve.
