Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to scaffolding planks and, more particularly, but not by way of limitation, to scaffolding planks constructed from steel and designed to be easily carried.
- 2. Description of the Related Art
- Scaffolding planks typically comprise an aluminum frame with wood planks secured thereto or, in the alternative, the scaffolding planks are made completely from aluminum. Aluminum frame scaffolding planks have an I-beam construction, while all aluminum scaffolding planks are formed from one piece. The current examples of scaffolding planks provide several advantages such as simplicity and versatility, allowing end users to adapt to any job site. However, current scaffolding planks suffer two distinct disadvantages; they are expensive due to the cost of aluminum, and, because of their design, they are cumbersome to carry.
- Accordingly, a scaffolding plank made of steel would accomplish the same purpose as aluminum scaffolding planks, but at a reduced cost to the end user. Moreover, a scaffolding plank designed for carry by one person would improve usability.
- In accordance with the present invention, a scaffolding plank includes a frame, a plank secured atop the frame, and hook members secured to the frame at a respective corner thereof. The frame includes a first longitudinal support, a second longitudinal support, and a third longitudinal support disposed between the first longitudinal support and the second longitudinal support. The frame further includes a first end support secured at first ends of the first, second, and third longitudinal supports and a second end support secured at second ends of the first, second, and third longitudinal supports. The frame still further includes a first center support secured between the first and third longitudinal supports offset from the midpoint of the frame and a second center support secured between the second and third longitudinal supports offset from the midpoint of the frame.
- The present invention seeks reduced manufacturing costs through the use of steel to construct the frame. Consequently, the first, second, and third, longitudinal supports; the first and second center supports; and the first and second end supports are steel manufactured in a c-channel configuration. The use of c-channel shaped steel in the present invention makes the frame lightweight while still providing sufficient strength thereto.
- In addition the present invention seeks to provide a scaffolding plank that may be carried by one person. To that effect, the first and second center supports are offset from the center of the frame such that the first and second center supports perform as counterweights that balance the scaffolding plank and allow one person to carry the scaffolding plank.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view illustrating a scaffolding plank according to the preferred embodiment. -
FIG. 2 is an exploded view illustrating the scaffolding plank -
FIG. 3 is top plan view illustrating the scaffolding plank. - As required, detailed embodiments of the present invention are disclosed herein; however, it is to be understood that the disclosed embodiments are merely exemplary of the invention, which may be embodied in various forms. Figures are not necessarily to scale, and some features may be exaggerated to show details of particular components or steps.
- Referring to
FIGS. 1-3 of the drawings, there is shown a scaffolding plank 10, according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, which includes aframe 11, aplank 50, and hook members 51-54. - The
frame 11 provides the strength and support for the scaffolding plank 10 as well as a mounting point for theplank 50 and the hook members 51-54. Theframe 11 includes three c-channellongitudinal supports frame 11 may be varied in order to meet a particular job requirement. Moreover, the c-channel design of the supports reduces the amount of material needed for the supports, thereby reducing weight and manufacturing costs. As a result, in the preferred embodiment, the c-channel supports are comprised of steel, which provides a cost-effective material that still meets the necessary strength requirements for the scaffolding plank 10. - Construction of a completed
frame 11 includes placement of the c-channellongitudinal supports longitudinal support 13 is positioned substantially half-way between the c-channel longitudinal supports 12 and 14. The c-channel end supports 17 and 18 are placed at the ends of the c-channel longitudinal supports 12-14. The c-channel center support 15 is placed between the c-channellongitudinal supports channel center support 16 is placed between the c-channellongitudinal supports frame 11, but rather are off-set from the midpoint of theframe 11, the benefits of this design will be discussed in greater detail below. Once arranged in desired positions, the c-channel longitudinal supports 12-14, the c-channel center supports 15 and 16, and the c-channel end supports 17 and 18 are coupled together using any means common in the art such as welding. - The
frame 11 further includesprotective flanges longitudinal supports protective flanges protective flanges longitudinal supports longitudinal supports wood plank 50 to fit between the vertical members. Theprotective flanges - The
plank 50 resides on theframe 11 over the c-channel longitudinal supports 12-14, the c-channel center supports 15 and 16, and the c-channel end supports 17 and 18. Theplank 50 further resides between theprotective flanges plank 50. Theplank 50 is secured onto theframe 11 using any suitable means such as the rivets shown in the Figures. Theplank 50 provides a support surface for a person employing the scaffolding plank 10. In the preferred embodiment theplank 50 is wood, nevertheless, those of ordinary skill in the art will recognize that the plank may be any suitable material such as plastic, fiberglass, and the like. - Each hook member 51-54 resides at a respective corner of the
frame 11 to facilitate the securing of the scaffolding plank 10 to a platform. Each hook member 51-54 includes amounting bracket 30 with anattachment hook 31 secured thereto using any suitable means such as welding. Themounting brackets 30 andattachment hooks 31 may be steel or any suitable metal alloy. The hook members 51-54 mount on a respective corner of theframe 11 using any suitable means such as a welding such that themounting brackets 30 form corner pieces for theframe 11. In the preferred embodiment, themounting brackets 30 are L-shaped, thereby allowing themounting brackets 30 to be fitted onto the corners of theframe 11. - As described above, the c-channel center supports 15 and 16 are not placed at the midpoint of the
frame 11. Instead, the c-channel center supports 15 and 16 are offset from the midpoint of theframe 11. In particular, the c-channel center support 15 is offset from the midpoint of theframe 11 toward a first end of theframe 11, and the c-channel center support 16 is offset from the midpoint of theframe 11 toward a second end of theframe 11. The placement of c-channel center supports 15 and 16 offset from the midpoint of theframe 11 allows one person to carry the scaffolding plank 10. When the scaffolding plank 10 is carried with one arm, the offset of the c-channel center supports 15 and 16 provides a balancing counterweight for theframe 11 that allows ease of transportation. - From the foregoing description and illustrations of the invention, it is apparent that rearranging the elements, or providing substitutions for the elements, can produce similar results; therefore, the applicant desires not to be bound by the description of this invention as contained in this specification but to be bound only by the claims appended hereto. Still the present invention has other objects, features, and advantages that the following will evidence to those familiar with the art. This scope defines the invention broadly, thus allowing for inclusion of any combination of related features, elements, or steps described herein as a part of its scope.
