Abstract

Various implementations described herein are directed to a scaffold bracket. In one implementation, the scaffold bracket may include a mounting bracket having a first face and a second face opposite of the first face. The scaffold bracket may also include a first scaffolding node attached to the first face and configured to couple to a first member. The scaffold bracket may further include a second scaffolding node attached to the first face and configured to couple to a second member.

Claims (19)

1. A scaffold bracket, comprising:

a mounting bracket, wherein the mounting bracket comprises a plate having a first face and a second face opposite of the first face, and wherein the first face and the second face are each substantially flat;

a first scaffolding node coupled to the first face and configured to couple to a first member; and

a second scaffolding node coupled to the first face and configured to couple to a second member, wherein at least one of the first scaffolding node and the second scaffolding node comprises a cylindrical tubing portion coupled to a substantially semicircular rosette portion, and wherein the cylindrical tubing portion and the substantially semicircular rosette portion are coupled to the substantially flat first face.

2. The scaffold bracket of claim 1 , wherein the mounting bracket further comprises:

a prong extending laterally from the second face and configured to couple to a wall bracket attached to a wall; and

an offset spacer extending laterally from the second face, wherein the prong and the offset spacer are configured to extend laterally from the second face at substantially the same length.

3. The scaffold bracket of claim 1 , wherein the first scaffolding node comprises the substantially semicircular rosette portion, and wherein the substantially semicircular rosette portion comprises one or more cut-outs configured to couple to the first member using a wedge.

4. The scaffold bracket of claim 1 , wherein the second scaffolding node comprises the substantially semicircular rosette portion, and wherein the substantially semicircular rosette portion comprises one or more cut-outs configured to couple to the second member using a wedge.

5. The scaffold bracket of claim 1 , wherein the first scaffolding node and the second scaffolding node are substantially vertically aligned.

6. The scaffold bracket of claim 1 , wherein the first scaffolding node and the second scaffolding node are attached to the first face using welding.

7. A scaffold bracket, comprising:

a mounting bracket, wherein the mounting bracket comprises a plate having a first face and a second face opposite of the first face, and wherein the first face and the second face are each substantially flat;

a first scaffolding node coupled to the first face and configured to couple to a first member;

a second scaffolding node coupled to the first face and configured to couple to a second member, wherein at least one of the first scaffolding node and the second scaffolding node comprises a cylindrical tubing portion coupled to a substantially semicircular rosette portion, and wherein the cylindrical tubing portion and the substantially semicircular rosette portion are coupled to the substantially flat first face;

a prong extending laterally from the second face and configured to couple to a wall; and

an offset spacer extending laterally from the second face and configured to contact the wall.

8. The scaffold bracket of claim 7 , wherein the prong and the offset spacer are configured to extend laterally from the second face at substantially the same length.

9. The scaffold bracket of claim 7 , wherein the prong is configured to couple to a wall bracket coupled the wall.
