Abstract

A working platform assembly which includes: at least two hangar bars capable of being used to support a horizontal platform; and at least two support brackets for supporting hangar bars which are attached to a building; the platform assembly characterized in that the brackets and top end of the hangar bars are adapted so as to interengage with one another via a twist lock type connection.

Claims

AMENDED CLAIMS[received by the International Bureau on 16 May 2000 (16.05.00) eingegangen; original claim 1 amended; remaining claims unchanged (4 pages)]
1. A working platform assembly which includes:
at least two hangar bars capable of being used to support a horizontal platform; and
- at least two support brackets for supporting hangar bars which are attached to a building; the platform assembly characterised in that the brackets and top end of the hangar bars are adapted so as to interengage with one another via a twist lock type connection so that the hangar bars can downwardly depend from the bracket when in use.
2. A working platform assembly as claimed in claim 1 wherein the brackets are positioned on a building so as to be capable of being left in place once the remainder of the working platform assembly has been removed.
3. A working platform assembly as claimed in claim 2 wherein the position of the brackets iβ such the brackets can be concealed by the structure of the building.
4. A kit of parts for a working platform assembly wherein the kit includes: a) at least two hangar bars capable of being used to support horizontal platforms; and b) at least two support brackets for supporting hangar bars; characterised in that the brackets and top end of the hangar bars are adapted so as to interengage with one another via a twist lock type connection.
18
5. A working platform assembly as claimed in either claiml or claim 4 wherein the hangar bars include a number of apertures positioned along the length thereof for receiving platform supports.
6. A working platform as claimed in either claim 1 or claim 4 wherein the base portion of the hangar bar is adapted to allow for its length to be extended.
7. A working platform as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 4 wherein the support bracket is adapted so that it can be attached to a roof truss and/or other roof or lateral supporting member so that the brackets have at least a portion thereof outwardly located from the wall of a building.
8. A working platform assembly as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 4 wherein the bracket and top end of the hangar bar are capable of being threadably connected to one another.
9. A working platform assembly as claimed in any one of claims 1 to 4 wherein the top end of the hangar bar includes a substantially T- shaped spigot which the bracket is adapted to receive such that a twist-lock connection between the spigot and the bracket may be achieved.
10. A working platform assembly as claimed in the preceding claim wherein the bracket includes an oblong shaped hole through which the top part of the T-shaped spigot may pass when aligned with the holes, such that a 90 degree rotation of the hangar bar results in the T-shaped spigot having an orientation which prevents it from passing through the oblong hole in the bracket.
11. A working platform assembly as claimed in claim 9 wherein the
19 bracket includes two parallel plates spaced apart a distance smaller than the maximum width of the T-bar, the parallel plates including aligned apertures of a substantially larger size than the cross- sectional size of the top part of the T-shaped spigot; so that the larger size of the aperture can thereby allow for rotation of the T- shaped spigot so that the outer ends of the T-shaped spigot can span through the apertures to thereby allow the bottom edge of the apertures to be capable of supporting the T-shaped spigot and hence the hangar bar.
12. A kit of parts for a working platform as claimed in claim 4 wherein the kit includes a plug capable of covering holes made in the soffit assembly of a building.
13. A method of erecting a working platform assembly for a building characterised by the steps of: e) attaching at least two support brackets to a roof truss and/or other roof or lateral supporting member so that the brackets have at least a portion thereof outwardly located from the wall of a building; and f connecting at least two hangar bars to the brackets via a twist lock type connection.
14. A method of erecting a working platform assembly as claimed in the preceding claim wherein the method is characterised by the further step of: g) either before, or after, the hangar bars have been connected to the brackets, substantially concealing the brackets via the soffit assembly of a building.
20
15. A method of erecting a working platform assembly as claimed in the preceding claim characterised by the additional step of:
h) fitting plugs to cover the holes in the soffit assembly for the hangar bars, once the bars have been disconnected from the brackets.
16. A method of erecting a working a platform assembly as claimed in claim 13 wherein the portion of the bracket adapted to interengage with the hangar bar via a twist lock type connection is outwardly located from the wall of a building.
17. A working platform assembly substantially as described herein with reference to any example and/or drawing thereof.
IS. A method of erecting a working platform assembly substantially as described herein with reference to any example and/or drawing thereof.
