The present inventiorlrelate~ to a method and an apparatue for suspending scaffolding from a completed rooiE.
CK&ROVND 0F T~lE IMVEIITION
Prior to a roof of a building being completed, it is a relatively ~imple matter to suspend scafiEolding around the periphery o the roof by placing hook-like bracket~ over exterior walls. Once the roof has been completed, however, it is difiEicult to suspend scaffolding from the completed roof in a manner which will bear the weight of men and equipment without getting in the way oie workmen attempting to eiEfect repairs to the roof. The best example oiE this iæ where the roof is in need of reshingling. When reshingling a rooiE
scaffolding should be used iEor safety reasons. ~owever, often worl~len attempt the job oiE reshingling without the use of scaffolding as the only available means of attachment to the 2 0 roof would cover a large portion of the work area and unduly impede their progress~

-What is required is a method and an apparatus iEor æuspending scaiEiEolding from a completed roof covers a minimal portion oiE working area.
According to one aspect of the present invention there is provided a method of suspending scaffolding from a completed roof which includes the following steps. Firstly, anchor a pair of bodies to a Pirst slope oiE a rooiE oppo ite a second slope of the roo;e from an edge of which a ~cafiEolding is to be su~pended~ Each body has a coupling and which projects above a peak of the roof; the coupling end having a iEemale coupling.
Secondly, insert iEirst ends oiE a pair of elongats members into the female couplings on the bodie~ and secure the first ends in place. A second end oiE the ~lon-gate members exte~ds past 2 ~ 3 ~
the edge o~ the second ~lope. Thirdlyl position ~upport column~ adjacent the second end o~ the elongate member~. The support columns are disposed between the second ~lope and the elongate member such that the ~upport column~ are -the only point v~ contact on the second slope. Fourthly, su~pend the sca~folding from the æecond ends of the elongate members.
When khe teachings o~ the described method are followed the ~caffolding iæ securely held in po~ition with minimal obstructions of the second ~lope on which the workmen are working. The only points of contact on the ~econd ~lope of the roo~ is where the support columns rest. If the forces exerted upon the apparatus are analyzed, it is apparent that the ma~or ~orce component created by the weight of the sca~folding i8 a lS downward force upon the support column~ The possibility of the bodies becoming detached from the first glope of the roof is extremely remote. There are a number of alternative embodiments for apparatus capable of being used to follow the teachings o~ the described method.
~0 According to another aspect of the present invention there i8 provided an apparatus for æuspending scaffolding from a completed roof. The apparatus includes a pair of bodies. Each body has a coupli~g end and an anchoring end~ The coupling end has a female coupling. The anchoring end has means to anchor the body to a roof. A pair of elongate members are provided.
Each of the elongate members has a first end and a second end.
The first ends are insertable into the female couplings on the bodies. Means is provided to lock the first ends of the elongate me~bers within the female couplingæ. The second ends of the elongate me~bers have mean to suspend a scaffolding~
Although beneficial results may be obtained through the ~se of the apparatlls~ as described, roofs come in a wide variety of pitches. Even more beneficial results may/
there~ore, be obtained whe~ the angle of the female coupling iæ adjustable in relation to the body such that the female coupling is angularly ad~ustable to aacommodate roof~ of varying pitch.
Although beneficial re~ults may be obtain through the u~e of the apparatus, as de~cribed, the apparakus has greater stability if the female coupling ie; fixed in position. Even more beneficial results may, there~ore, be obtained when the female coupling ha~ ~t least ona upwardly projecting fin which describe a segment of a circle. The :Ein has a plurality of axially aligned apertures. The bodly has at least one arm in parallel spaced relation to the f.in; the arm having an aperture. The ~emale coupling is locked in a preselected angular position by extending a locking pin through the aperture in the arm and a selected one of the apertures in the fin.
