Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0489599A1] A scaffolding system of the type comprising interconnected vertical legs (2) and horizontal space frames (4) is described. The legs (2) are provided with socket members (10) and at least one of the chord members of each space frame (4) is provided at either end thereof with first attachment means (20) comprising a pin (28) for insertion into a socket member (10) of a leg to which it is to be attached. The first attachment means (20) additionally include releasable latch means (30) carried on or in the pin (28) and biasing means (36) which, when the pin is inserted into a socket member (10), automatically urges the latch means (30) towards to the locked position. In the locked position a portion of the latch means (30) latches against the socket member (10) to retain the pin (28) therein and movement of the pin (28) within the socket (10) is prevented. <IMAGE>
