Description
- The present invention relates to a support frame and particularly, but not exclusively to a support frame for a platform for a scaffolding arrangement.
- It is known to provide a scaffolding arrangement alongside a building for example, to provide an elevated platform for working at a height on the building. Typical scaffolding arrangements comprise a plurality of upright poles or so-called standards that are held in spaced relationship by a series of horizontal poles which extend across the width and depth of the arrangement, and which are known as ledgers and pudlocks, respectively. The ledgers and pudlocks provide a support frame upon which is placed a plurality of planks of wood to provide a deck to the platform.
- When erecting the scaffolding arrangement, care must be taken to ensure that the standards are measured a fixed distance apart to ensure a uniform scaffolding arrangement. Moreover, each ledger and pudlock must be suitably levelled before being separately coupled to the standards with scaffolding coupler brackets. It is evident therefore that erecting the arrangement takes considerable time and skill and as such, is only carried out by professional workers.

FR2138292 -
FR1407093 - In accordance with a first aspect of the present invention there is provided a support frame for a platform for a scaffolding arrangement according to claim 1, whereby the frame is substantially rectangular comprising a major surface in a first plane and a pair of longitudinal frame members forming a longitudinal outer surface of the frame, whereby a first and second coupling means are disposed at respective first and second ends of the longitudinal frame members, the first coupling means being disposed at the first end at a first distance in a first direction from the major surface of the frame and the second coupling means being disposed at the second end at a second distance in the opposite direction from the major surface of the frame, the first and second coupling means being arranged to couple with a substantially upright pole, wherein, the first coupling means each comprise a bracket disposed upon the first end of the longitudinal frame members and the second coupling means each comprise a bracket disposed upon a plate extending generally alongside the outer surface of the longitudinal frame members at the second end of the frame, the plate being arranged to extend over a first end of an adjacent support frame to enable the adjacent support frame to be levelled with respect to the frame when the bracket disposed on the plate is coupled to the substantially upright pole, the plate extending in a plane substantially perpendicular to the major surface of the frame member.
- The offset in distance between the first and second coupling means from the plane of the frame enables two frames to be coupled to a common upright member of the scaffolding arrangement, and abutted against each other, so that the two frames extend in substantially the same plane with only a minimal separation.
- Preferably, the support frame comprises a deck disposed upon the frame to provide a platform for a scaffolding arrangement. The plate is preferably, arranged to displace the second coupling means out of the plane of the platform.
- The brackets of the second coupling means on the plate are preferably disposed proximate to each corner of the frame at a second end thereof.
- Preferably, the brackets of the first and second coupling means comprise scaffolding brackets, and more particularly, scaffolding couplers.
- In accordance with a second aspect of the present invention there is provided a platform for a scaffolding arrangement, the platform comprising a support frame according to the first aspect of the invention and a deck disposed upon the frame.
- In accordance with a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a scaffolding arrangement, the arrangement comprising at least one frame according to the first aspect of the invention.
- In accordance with a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a scaffolding arrangement, the arrangement comprising at least one platform according to the second aspect of the invention.
- An embodiment of the present invention will now be described by way of example only and with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
-
Figure 1 a is a perspective view of a frame according to an embodiment of the present invention; -
Figure 1b is a perspective view from the underside of the frame offigure 1 ; -
Figure 2 is an illustration of the frame offigure 1 a or 1 b comprising a deck, coupled to a scaffolding arrangement. - Referring to
figure 1 of the drawings, there is illustrated asupport frame 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention for a scaffolding arrangement. Theframe 10 is substantially rectangular in shape and is arranged to support a substantially planar deck 11, which is rigidly mounted thereon, to provide a platform for a scaffolding arrangement 12. Theframe 10 comprises a pair oflongitudinal frame members 13a, 13b which extend between a first and second longitudinal end thereof, and a pair oflateral frame members 14a, 14b which separately extend between thelongitudinal frame members 13a, 13b at the first and second longitudinal end, respectively. Theframe 10 further comprises a pair ofcross-members 15a, 15b which extend between the pair oflongitudinal frame members 13a, 13b intermediate opposite ends thereof. - The
frame 10 further comprises a scaffolding bracket, such as acoupler 16, disposed upon thelongitudinal frame members 13a, 13b, proximal to each external corner of theframe 10 at the first end thereof. Each corner of the frame at the second end thereof comprises a support member, such as aplate 17. Theplates 17 are separately secured to one of thelongitudinal frame members 13a, 13b and extend in a plane substantially perpendicular to the plane of theframe 10, within the plane comprising the respectivelongitudinal frame member 13a, 13b. Theplates 17 extend away from theframe 10 over the lateral frame member 14b disposed at the second end of theframe 10. A distal end of eachplate 17 comprises scaffolding bracket, such as acoupler 16. Thecouplers 16 disposed upon theframe 10 are arranged to couple with a substantially upright or so-called "standard"pole 12a of a scaffolding arrangement 12. - Referring to
figure 2 of the drawings, the vertical offset of thecouplers 16 disposed at the first end of theframe 10 with respect to thecouplers 16 disposed at the second end of theframe 10 enable the first end of oneframe 10a to be butted up against the second end of anadjacent frame 10b. Moreover, thecouplers 16 disposed at the corners of the first end of the oneframe 10a can be separately coupled to the same pair ofstandards 12a as thecouplers 16 disposed at the corners of the second end of theother frame 10b. Accordingly, theframes frames frames - The length and width of the
frame 10 is fixed so there is no requirement to measure the distance between thestandard poles 12a to ensure a uniform scaffolding arrangement 12. In addition, since no horizontal poles (namely, so-called pudlocks and ledgers which are not shown) are required to form theframe 10 for the working platform, the time taken to erect the scaffolding arrangement 12 is greatly reduced. Moreover, since is no requirement for scaffolding planks (not shown) which would otherwise be required to form the deck of the platform, there is less material required to be transported upon lorries (not shown) and the like. - The
frame 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention can be secured to thestandard poles 12a at any position along their length. Accordingly, thesupport frame 10 can be utilised on uneven ground surfaces and sloping surfaces. Once afirst frame 10a has been suitably secured upon a series ofstandard poles 12a and levelled, using a level for example,adjacent frames 10b can be secured to the scaffolding arrangement 12 without the requirement for levelling. This is because thesupport plates 17 on thefirst frame 10a are arranged to extend over theadjacent frame 10b such that when alower edge 17a of eachplate 17 is seen to contact the deck 11 of theadjacent frame 10b at all positions along the length of theedge 17a plateadjacent frame 10b is suitable level. - From the foregoing therefore, it is evident that the frame of the present invention provides a simple yet efficient means of providing a working platform upon a scaffolding arrangement.
