Definitions
- the present invention relates to construction scaffolding, and in particular, to a weatherproof! ng framework structure therefor.
- the present invention provides an enclosure system that allows for quick and easy installation and set-up of a framework and overlying weatherproofing layer over the work area on a standard scaffold structure without the need for specialized equipment.
- the present invention relates to an enclosure system for weatherproofing the work area on a standard scaffold structure adjacent a vertical wall surface, comprising a framework of spaced apart structural members attached to the scaffolding and an overlying weatherproofing layer over the framework.
- an enclosure system for weatherproofing the work area on a standard scaffold structure adjacent a vertical wall surface and attachment thereto, comprising a framework consisting of a plurality of spaced apart base bars joined to an equal plurality of extension bars, and an overlying weatherproofing layer.
- the scaffold structure comprises a plurality of vertical tubes.
- Each base bar has a length, hollow structural section, and opposing ends, one end being connected to the vertical tube on the scaffold structure by means of a coupler, and the other end being vertically offset from the first end toward the vertical wall surface and connected to the extension bar by means of a first joining structure.
- Each extension bar has a length, hollow structural section, opposing ends, and two or more pivot joints along the length, one end having a second joining structure complementary to the first joining structure on the base bar and connected thereto, and the other end having a head structure for engaging the vertical wall surface;
- the overlying weatherproof! ng layer comprises a sheet material overlying and attached to the framework.
- Figure 1 is an isometric view of the framework of the enclosure system according to the present invention.
- Figure 2 is a side view of the framework of the enclosure system according to the present invention.
- Figure 3A is a side view of the base bar.
- Figure 3B is a side view of another embodiment of the base bar.
- Figure 4A is a side view of the extension bar.
- Figure 4B is a side view of another embodiment of the extension bar.
- Figure 5 is a sectional view of the hollow structure section, along plane A
- Figure 6 is a side view of the bottom end of the base bar, the coupler, and the top end of the vertical tube on a standard scaffold structure.
- Figure 7 is an expanded front view of the head structure.
- Figure 8 is a side view of the end bar.
- the enclosure system comprises a framework consisting of a plurality of base bars joined to an equal plurality of extension bars, and an overlying weatherproofing layer.
- the framework is installed on a standard scaffold structure and is covered by any suitable weatherproofing material, such as a tarpaulin, to protect the workers and work area from weather elements.
- the enclosure system is installed on the top level work area of a standard scaffold structure 9 above the highest walkboard, as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
- the framework and the overlying weatherproofing layer covers the work area and adjacent vertical wall surface 28.
- the framework consists of structural members made of steel, aluminum, or rigid composite material, which are joined end to end to one another and to the scaffolding. As shown in Figure 5, the structural members have a hollow structural section defining walls 12 and a hollow interior 13, which may be circular, rectangular, square, or another shape in cross section.
- the structural members forming the framework consist of a plurality of joined lengths of a base bar 1 and extension bar 2, which are connected at one end to the standard scaffold structure 9 and abut the vertical wall surface 28 at the other end to form a framework to support the tarpaulin.
- the base bar 1 has a bottom end 4 and a vertically offset top end 5.
- the base bar 1 is tubular in cross section and has open ends.
- the bottom end 4 is structurally connected to an open end of the uppermost vertical tube 10 on the scaffold structure 9 by means of a coupler 14 which is inserted into the end of the vertical tube 10 and bottom end 4 of the base bar 1.
- the coupler 14 has two opposing ends 15 and 16, is preferably tubular in cross section, has a smaller diameter than the open bottom end 4 of the base bar 1 and vertical tube 10 of the standard scaffold structure 9, and has a pair of apertures 17 on either side of the coupler 14 near each end 15 and 16, which align with apertures 6 at the bottom end 4 of the base bar 1 and apertures 11 on the vertical tube 10. Locking pins are inserted through aligned apertures to structurally connect the base bar 1 to the vertical tube 10 on the scaffolding.
- the base bar 1 may be provided with one or more toeboard brackets 7 at the bottom end 4 to receive a toeboard.
- the base bar 1 may also be provided with guardrail hooks 8 for attachment of horizontal guardrails at vertical intervals.
- the top end 5 of the base bar 1 is vertically offset from the bottom end 4 of the base bar 1.
- the top end 5 has an open end to receive the extension bar 2 within the hollow structural section of the base bar 1 as later described.
- the base bar 1 and extension bar 2 act as one element of the enclosure framework.
- the top end 5 of the base bar 1 may be a separate top section 1a.
- the top section 1a has a bottom end 4a which fits within the top end 5b of a bottom section 1b of the base bar 1.
- the top section 1a and bottom section 1b are made telescopically adjustable by providing spaced apart apertures 6b the top end 5b of the bottom section 1b, which are slidingly aligned with apertures 6a at the bottom end 4a of the top section 1a and connected thereto by means of a locking pin.
- the extension bar 2 has opposing ends 18 and 19, a length, and a tubular cross section.
- the end 18 is sized to be insertable into the hollow structural section of the top end 5 of the base bar 1.
- connection between the base bar 1 and the extension bar 2 is made telescopically adjustable by providing spaced apart apertures 6 at the top end 5 of the base bar 1, which are slidingly aligned with apertures 26 at the end 18 of the extension bar 2 and connected thereto by means of a locking pin.
- the extension bar 2 is structurally attached to the base bar 1 and is telescopically adjustable to engage the vertical wall surface 28 and thus accommodate separation distance between the scaffolding and the vertical wall surface 28.
- a head structure 21 is provided at the end 19 of the extension bar 2 to engage the vertical wall surface 28.
- the head structure 21 has an angled flat surface 22 to effect a flat engagement with the vertical wall surface 28.
- the head structure 21 also has a hook 23 for attachment of an overlying weatherproofing layer near the second end 19.
- the flat surface 22 of each head structure 21 may be provided with one or more apertures 24 to facilitate attachment to the vertical wall surface 28.
- the flat surface 22 is generally square and has four apertures 24 near the corners of the flat surface.
- the extension bar 2 may have two or more knuckle joints 29, which serve as pivot joints, along the length of the extension bar 2.
- one knuckle joint 29 is located between the head structure 21 and one end 19 of the extension bar 2, and the other is located near the other end 18 of the extension bar 2.
- the extension bar 2 may thereby angularly pivot to provide the enclosure system with the flexibility to accommodate a range of installation dimensions, particularly in conjunction with the telescopically adjustable engagement between the extension bar 2 and the base bar 1.
- One or more of the knuckle joints 29 may have a stop 30 to prevent the extension bar 2 from pivoting beyond a desired angle in one or both directions.
- an end bar 3 may be used as part of the enclosure.
- the end bar 3 is attached to the vertical tube 10 of the scaffolding by a coupler 14 and apertures 27, as described above for the attachment of the base bar 1.
- the end bar 3 has a bottom end 25 and a top end 26.
- Preferably the end bar 3 is tubular in cross section and has open ends.
- the end bar 3 may have one or more toeboard brackets 7 at the bottom end 25 to receive a toeboard.
- the end bar 3 may also have guardrail hooks 8 for attachment of scaffolding guardrails at vertical intervals.
- the inner diameter of the open bottom end 25 of the end bar 3 is sized to accommodate one end 15 of the coupler 14.
