Abstract

An access and safety system has an adjustable frame 2 that can be fixed to roof crawler ladders 1 by means of collared bolts, washers and wing nuts 14 & 15, with collared bolts, washers and nuts 11 & 12 with R clips 16 & 17 for holding guard rails 7 & 8. The system can fit on a roof ladder at any height by means of bolts 14 &15 thro hollow rungs of roof ladders and fixed by washers and wing nuts or similar. A safety net 10 can be fixed to guard rails 7 & 8 and to frame upright 3. <IMAGE>

Description

ACCESS STAGING WITH GUARD RAILS AND NET This invention relates to light staging and guard rails and safety net.
Scaffolding for roof work is usually a combination of unwieldly poles and couplers or collapsible prefabricated tubes with plywood to form a platform for access or work above ground level.
These however, are usually bulky expensive and require a special knowledge to erect, and do not have a safety net for added protection.
The invention presented here provides access staging with telescopic guard rails for use at varying widths, and it can also be used as a safety barrier on the edge of roofs by using a safety net attached to the guard rails. As it incorporates roof crawling ladders which can be spaced to suit the work involved, any length of roof can be worked on simply by using more crawlers and more guard rails and or nets.
The frames are fixed through roof crawling ladders by collared bolts through hollow rungs.
A specific embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to accompanying drawings.
Referring to the drawing.
The access staging comprises of roof ladder 1 whereon are fixed lightweight aluminium box section members, or lightweight steel or the like to make a frame fig.2. These members have holes drilled at critical points to allow adjustment to suit various angles of roofing, the upright 3 is joined to ladder 1 by long collared bolt and washer and wingnut 14, joined to bearer 4 by bolt and washer and wingnut 19. Bearer 4 is fixed to roof ladder 1 by long collared bolt and washer and wingnut 15. The top front guard rail 7 is fixed to frame upright 3 by short collared bolt washer and nut 11 and secured by R clip 16, the front centre guard rail 8 is fixed to frame upright 3 halfway up by short collared bolt and washer and nut 12 and secured by R clip 17. The top end guard rail 5 is fixed to top of upright frame 3 by bolt, washer and nut 18, the guard rail brace is fixed by bolt, washer and nut 20 to end of 5 and fixed to upright frame centre by bolt, washer and nut 21.
Two of these assemblies on two roof ladders fig.2 a set distance apart can then be boarded out using staging 9 which has fixed spacers underneath fig.3. which fit each side of bearer 4. The net 10 can then be fixed to top front guard rail 7 and secured to bottom of frame upright 3 by tapes string or similar 22.

Claims (7)

1.An access and safety system that can be used separately or together with telescopic or ordinary guard rails with staging boards of varying lengths to fix to roof crawling ladders at any height on the ladder rungs or for any running lengths on any number of roof crawling ladders by the simple means of nuts and bolts, brackets, catches or the like, using a safety net attached to guard rails.
2.An access and safety system as claimed in claim 1 that can be adapted for roof work at different heights and widths, where roof crawlers are used, by a simple attachment.
3.A system that can be used as a work platform as claimed in claim 1 & 2 using a platform attached to roof crawling ladders by a simple frame using nuts and bolts.
4.An access and safety system as claimed in claim 1 & 2 that can be fitted 'between roof crawling ladders at varying distances by use of telescopic guard rails.
5.An access and safety system as claimed in claim 1 & 2 that can be used between roof crawling ladders using standard guard rails of a fixed length.
6.A safety and access system as claimed in claim 1 & 2 wherebye a guard rail and net can be used at varying heights by use of crawlers with multiples of systems.
7.A system where access staging guard rails and safety nets make a combination as claimed in claims 1,2,3,4,5 & 6.
