STANCHIONS FOR STEEL FRAMED BUILDINGS

摘要

An adjustable stanchion assembly (10) comprises a support post (30) for a safety barrier (48) which is secured to a connection rod (26) supported from two frame members (14, 16) of a building by respective engaging means (29, 90). The first engaging means (90) comprises a bracket (92) which hooks over its frame member (14) and positively clamps the frame member between it and the connection rod (26). A locking bolt (102) provides this clamping and prevents adjustment of the bracket (92) along the connection rod (26). The second engaging means (29) does not positively clamp onto its frame member (16) but has a projection (47) overlying the flange portion (24) of the frame member (16) to prevent pivotal movement of the stanchion assembly (10) about the other frame member (14). A locking bolt (53) prevents adjustment of the second engaging means (29) along the connection rod (26) so the second engagement means (29) is held in engagement with its frame member (16) by the positive clamping of the first engaging means (90) and of the connection rod (26).
