Sanitary platform utilizing a web bracket
This patent pertains to a platform device upon which a person, equipment or both are supported above a ground surface in which the build-up of debris and moisture is impeded. The sanitary platform system is comprised of two or more main rails having square cross-sections that are on diamond and are side-by-side with a space between the main rails; one or more standard web brackets comprised of a plate, two or more tabs and a perimeter defining an opening for receiving a main rail on diamond which are mounted in spaced-apart relation along the length of each of the main rails; two or more vertical legs supporting each of the main rails above the ground surface, and one or more deck plates welded to the tabs of the standard web bracket.
1. A sanitary platform system with one or more deck plates above a ground surface comprised of:
a. two or more main rails having length that are on diamond and are side-by-side with a space between the main rails;
b. one or more web brackets mounted in spaced-apart relation along the length of each of the main rails, wherein each web bracket comprises a plate having an interior area and a peripheral edge, two or more tabs spaced apart along the peripheral edge, wherein the tabs are configured so that the tabs buttress against one of the deck plates; and a perimeter defining an opening for receiving one of the main rails;
c. two or more vertical legs supporting each of the main rails above the ground surface; and
d. one or more deck plates welded to the tabs of the web brackets.
2. The sanitary platform system of claim 1 with one or more accessory web brackets mounted on a main rail.
3. The sanitary platform system of claim 1 with one or more cross connecting tubes on diamond with each cross connecting tube connecting two vertical legs and one or more stiffener plates that each mate against a vertical leg and a cross connecting tube with no dead corners.
4. The sanitary platform system of claim 1 where vertical legs which support the main rails above the ground surface have a bottom and top with the bottom resting on the ground surface and the top has a “V”-shaped saddle for receiving in supporting relation a main rail on diamond.
5. The sanitary platform system of claim 1 with an accessory cross tube on diamond that is attached between side-by-side main rails through accessory cross tube mounting brackets and one or more accessory mounting pads positioned on the accessory cross tube on diamond.
6. The sanitary platform system of claim 1 with two or more vertical posts appending superior relative to the deck plates that terminate in a solid surface on an angle and one or more horizontal guard rails on diamond running between the vertical posts.
7. A sanitary platform system with one or more deck plates above a ground surface comprised of:
a. two or more main rails having length that are on diamond and are side-by-side with a space between the main rails;
b. a plurality of standard web brackets mounted in spaced-apart relation along the length of each of the main rails, wherein each web bracket comprises a plate having an interior area and a peripheral edge, two or more tabs spaced apart along the peripheral edge, wherein the tabs are configured so that the tabs buttress against one of the deck plates; and a perimeter defining an opening for receiving one of the main rails;
c. a plurality of vertical legs which support the main rails above the ground surface having a bottom and top with the bottom resting on the ground surface and the top having a shaped saddle for receiving in supporting relation a main rail on diamond;
d. a plurality of cross connecting tubes on diamond with each cross connecting tube connecting two vertical legs and one or more stiffener plates that each mate against a vertical leg and a cross connecting tube with no dead corners;
e. a plurality of deck plates welded to the tabs of the web brackets forming a mezzanine with a perimeter; and
f. a guard rail system substantially surrounding the perimeter of the mezzanine comprised of plurality of vertical posts appending superior relative to the deck plates that terminate in a solid surface on an angle and a plurality of horizontal guard rails on diamond running between the vertical posts.
8. The sanitary platform system of claim 7 with one or more accessory web brackets mounted on a main rail.
9. The sanitary platform system of claim 7 with an accessory cross tube on diamond that is attached between side-by-side main rails through accessory cross tube mounting brackets and one or more accessory mounting pads positioned on the accessory cross tube on diamond.
10. The sanitary platform system of claim 9 with an accessory cross tube on diamond that is attached between side-by-side main rails through accessory cross tube mounting brackets and one or more accessory mounting pads positioned on the accessory cross tube on diamond.
