Modular scaffolding platform and truss frame components therefor

Abstract From the Canadian patent

A truss frame with three-dimensional bracing includes at least three top rails which are joined together so as to define a substantially planar surface. A plurality of bracing members are attached to the top rails and depend toward a bottom connection which has a predetermined location with respect to the top rails. The bottom connection location is chosen so that the bracing members form truss-like braces for the top rails. In one embodiment, the top rails bracing, members, and bottom connection form the shape of a pyramid. A plurality of there truss frames is utilized to form a modular platform. The platform also includes means for fastening the top rails of adjoining truss frames …
