Abstract:
An adjustable platform extension bracket for work platform systems comprises a post member having two posts joined by a plurality of positional structures. A first connection portion forms a first channel such that the first connection portion is symmetrical along an axis parallel with and passing through the channel. The post member is slidingly engaged in the first channel such that at least one of the positional structures is positionable in the channel. The bracket does not require any diagonal support. The dimensions of work platforms, particularly suspended work platform systems, may be extended using the adjustable platform extension bracket.
Abstract:
The invention includes an access structure integration assembly (300) and an integrated system using the assembly (300). An access structure integrated assembly (300) includes at least one channeled structure (50) and at least one joist socket (60) slidingly engaged with the channeled structure (50). The channeled structure (50) is configured to secure to a base structure (100), such as a suspended work platform system, and the joist socket (60) is configured to secure to a second structure (200), such as a supported work platform system. An integrated system includes a base structure (100), a second structure (200) and at least two integration assemblies (300), each assembly including a channeled structure (50) secured to the base structure (100) and a joist socket (60) secured to the second structure (200) and slidingly engaged with the channeled structure (50).

Abstract:
A rotating suspension point assembly permits rotation and other movement of the assembly relative to the axis of an anchor to which it is attached. Such a rotating suspension point assembly comprises a base, a flanged bushing and a mating convex washer. The base has a plate and a tubular structure projecting from the plate. The flanged bushing has an internal clearance to allow misalignment of an anchor and has a flange with a concave surface. The mating convex washer is aligned with the concave surface of the flanged bushing.
