ABSTRACT:
An attachment device for a scaffolding system which includes vertical and horizontal tubes is comprised of a guard rail stud adapter and a first stud. The guard rail stud adapter includes a generally U-shaped member which has a base portion, a first arm connected to the base portion, and a second arm connected to the base portion. At least one of the arms may include an end which has an arcuate cut-out portion for receiving vertical tubes. A second stud is connected to the generally U-shaped member for retaining scaffolding members, such guard rails or other members. A generally l-shaped member connected to the U-shaped member has a first end connected to at least one arm and a hole for receiving the first stud of the scaffolding system. One embodiment is further comprised of a spacer having a counter-bore for receiving the second stud of the scaffolding. Tile spacer is connected between the second stud and the generally U-shaped member. The generally U-shaped member may have a hole aligned with the counter-bore of the spacer. The counter-bore and the hole are dimensioned to receive the second stud. A locking wing latch may be swingably connected to at least one stud to retain the cross braces and the guard rails. The locking wing latch includes a wing having a hole and a roll pin for swingably connecting the wing to the stud. A pair of legs may be connected to the generally U-shaped member. Ribs and gussets may be integral with the generally U-shaped member for reinforcing the adapter. A pair of feet may extend outwardly toward the scaffolding system from the arms to embrace the vertical tubes of scaffolding system.
