Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a scaffold including a plank to support a person thereon.
  • the plank has opposite plank ends, the scaffold further including leg units, each leg unit being coupled to an associated plank end by a hinge structure at each lateral side of the plank end, so that each leg unit is pivotal between an extended position and a collapsed position.
  • Each hinge structure includes a first hinge part connected to the plank end and a second hinge part connected to the leg unit, as well as a pivot axis between said hinge parts.
  • Each hinge structure further includes a latch mechanism to retain the leg unit in at least its extended position.
  • Such a scaffold according to the preamble of claim 1, is known in the art.
  • US 6,892,860 discloses a scaffold wherein the latch mechanism is arranged at a different position, namely at the axial end of the plank. This latch mechanism engages on a top cross member of the leg unit.
  • the present invention aims to provide an alternative hinge structure with latch mechanism.
  • the present invention provides a scaffold according to claim 1.
  • Figures 1 and 2 show a portion of a scaffold including a plank 1 to support a person thereon and two leg units 2.
  • the plank is elongated and has opposite plank ends la (only one end visible).
  • Each leg unit 2 is coupled to an associated plank end la by a hinge structure at each lateral side of the plank end 1a (only one hinge structure visible), so that each leg unit 2 is pivotal between an extended position ( figure 2 ) and a collapsed position (lying along the lower side of the plank).
  • Each hinge structure includes a first hinge part 5 connected to the plank end 1a and a second hinge part 10 connected to the leg unit 2.
  • a pivot axis 8 is present between said hinge parts 5, 10, here at a position below the plank bottom side and inward of the axial end of the plank as is known in the art.
  • Each hinge structure further includes an automatic engaging latch mechanism to retain the leg unit in its extended position.
  • each second hinge part 10 includes an upper portion 11 which extends on the outside of the first hinge part 5 when the leg unit is in its extended position.
  • the upper portion 11 has a latch pin receiving opening 12 therein (obscured from view by member 15).
  • Each latch mechanism includes a spring-biased latch pin 13, received with the plank end and extending laterally outwards from the first hinge part 5, so as to engage automatically in the latch pin receiving opening 12 upon folding the leg unit to its extended position (see figures 1 and 2 ).
  • the second hinge part 10 further includes a user operable push member 15 which engages or can be made to engage on the front end of the latch pin 13 when received in the latch pin receiving opening 12, so as to allow the user to operate the push member 15 thereby pressing the pin 13 inwards out of said opening 12 allowing the user to fold the leg unit 2 back to the collapsed position.
  • a user operable push member 15 which engages or can be made to engage on the front end of the latch pin 13 when received in the latch pin receiving opening 12, so as to allow the user to operate the push member 15 thereby pressing the pin 13 inwards out of said opening 12 allowing the user to fold the leg unit 2 back to the collapsed position.
  • the push member 15 is a flexible lever, e.g. of suitable plastic material, attached to the second hinge part 10 at a position remote from the pin receiving opening and extending with a portion of the lever over the outside of the latch pin receiving opening 12. By pressing on said portion, the user can press the pin 13 inwards and out of the opening 12.
  • the upper portion 11 of the second hinge member 12 comprises an inclined pin guidance section 14 having at the upper end of the upper portion a major distance with respect to the first hinge portion 5, said distance decreasing towards the latch pin receiving opening so as to force the latch pin 13 inwards upon folding the leg unit 2 to its extended position, until the pin is aligned with said opening 12 and is spring-biased into said opening 12.
  • first and second hinge parts 5, 10 are metal plate members. These first and second hinge parts are riveted to said plank and said leg unit, respectively.
  • the plank 1 here includes multiple spaced apart longitudinal plank members, e.g. aluminium profiles.
  • Each leg unit here includes two laterally spaced apart uprights, e.g. aluminium profiles, and one or more cross-member interconnecting the uprights.
