Improvements in girder fittings.

摘要

A girder fitting adapted to be secured to a length of scaffold tube and to clamp the scaffold tube to a girder. The fitting (10) comprises a main body (14), a clamp (16) pivotally mounted on the main body (14) at one end thereof, and means (18,20) for releasably holding the clamp (16) to the main body (14). The clamp (16) and main body (14) are so shaped as to receive and clamp between them a length of scaffold tube (9) and the main body (14) is further shaped such that the vertical load of the scaffold tube (9) is borne substantially entirely by the main body. A portion (22) of the main body (14) extends at an end remote from the clamp (16) in a direction substantially at right angles to the major length of the main body (14) and a screw (24) is provided which is engageable with a flange (13) of the girder whereby a length of scaffold tube (9) fitted with the fitting (10) can be clamped to the flanged girder.
