A SCAFFOLDING ARRANGEMENT WITH A ROTATABLE CAM FOR LOWERING A LOAD BEARING ELEMENT

摘要

A scaffolding arrangement comprises a base plate (3) having an upwardly open socket (5) dimensioned to receive a load bearing element (6) which forms part of a scaffolding assembly. An elongate cam (31) extends transversely across the lower part of the socket. An elongate handle (21) is provided to rotate the cam about its axis. The load bearing scaffolding element (6) inserted in the socket (5) may engage the cam (31) to be supported in a first position with the cam in an initial position by rotating the cam (31), the scaffolding element (6) may be lowered to a second position.
