Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2007146056A2] A scaffold plank assembly for engagement to a scaffolding frame. The scaffold plank assembly comprises an elongate, non-metal plank which defines opposed first and second ends and at least one interior cavity. Attached to respective ones of the opposed ends of the plank is a pair of end connectors. The end connectors each comprise a main body, and at least two arms which are attached to the main body. Attached to and extending from the main body is at least one attachment finger which is extensible into the interior cavity of the plank. The main body also includes at least two notches formed therein which are sized and configured to receive respective ones of the arms of another end connector in a nesting fashion. Additionally, disposed within the attachment finger of the end connector is an aperture which may be coaxially aligned with a pair of apertures disposed within the plank when the attachment finger is fully advanced into the interior cavity thereof. These coaxially aligned apertures are adapted to receive an elongate pin which, when advanced through the apertures and secured to the plank, maintains the end connector in firm engagement to the plank. The plank itself may further be provided with a non-slip texture which is formed directly within the outer, top surface of the top wall thereof.
