This invention relates to scaffoldsl and, While not limited thereto, relates more particularly to suspension scali'olds for use .in Y
the erection of steel bridges, buildings and the like, and has for its object the provision of such a scaffold which may be quickly assembled, may be readily moved from place to place, and will be materially safer than the rope-sling scafolds generally used.
This scaffold may be readily suspended from the top or bottom chord of a bridge, or from anyv horizontal beam of the bridge or building structure, and, when desired, may be suspended from an inclined or curved beam.
Heretofore, in erecting steel structural work it has been customary for the steel workers or riveters to construct their own scaffolds from rope-slings and planking. These 20 rope sling scafolds had a very narrowT margin ofsafety at best, since the ropes may be insecurely tied, are readily weakened by wear, and may be burned by hot rivets..
Due to the narrow margin of safety in the rope-sling scaffolds heretofore used,iit has been necessary to frequently replace the ropes which is an item of considerable cost on a large structure. Another itemof cost resulting from the use of the rope-sling scaf- Vfolds is the time consumed by the highly paid mechanics in constructing their own j scaffolds. s
The present invention overcomes all of the above disadvantages of the rope-sling scaffold and greatly facilitates the work so as materially reduce the'cost of erection.
In the drawings:
Figure l is a side elevation vshowing the v scaffold of this invention suspended from a 40 horizontal beam or chord of a steel structure.
Figure 2 is a similar view showing the scaffold suspended from an inclined or curved beam or chord.
Figure 3 is an end elevation showing the l1.5 U-shaped end supporting members in detail.
Referring more particularly to the drawings, the numeral 2 designates ay beam'orl chord of a steel structure upon which the scaffold is supported.
The scaffold comprises a pair of substanthe steel beams being erected.V
tially inverted Usha ed su orting mem-V bersA and B. p pp The members A and B are of duplicate construction and comprise a suspension beam 3 adapted to extendv transversely'of and be 55 supportedy onl the beam 2 of the structure be- 'ing erected. The beam 3 has a' plurality of series of bolt receiving holes 45' along its length.
Al pair of rigid scaEoldf supporting legs .30 5 are' removably secured in spaced relation on the beam 3 ateach side of the beam 2 andi depend from thek beamc3. The legs 5 are provided with a series of vertically spaced holes 6, and selected ones of the holes 6 areadapt- 65 ed to be registered with selected ones ofthe Y holes 4 in the beam 3 to receive attaching bolts. By bringing selected ones of the holes 6 into registration with selected ones of the holes 4 the legs may be adjusted vertically 79 A and horizontally relative to the! beam 3.
Aplurality of platform supporting bars '7 Y are bridgedy across and removably bolted to the legs 5 in vertical spaced relation to each other. The bars 7 are'l provided witha'series 75 of horizontally spaced-bolt vholes 8 adjacent each end, and selected'ones of the-holes' 8 'are adapted 'to'.be brought l.to registerV with se lectedones ofthe holes 6 in the legs 5to rep ceive .the attaching bolts, thus providingfor -horizontal and vertical adjustment 'of the platform supporting bars.
