Abstract

An adjustable and transportable scaffolding (10) is described. It comprises an adjustable leg support mechanism (20) for a scaffolding having vertical corner frame members (11) connected to horizontal frame members (12) and cross-braces (13). The mechanism (20) comprises an open-ended sleeve (21) adapted to receive a support rod (22) therethrough and wherein the support rod has at least a horizontal toothed edge section (23) adapted to sercure to a bottom support foot (24). A tooth engaging member (25) is pivotally secured to the sleeve (21) and has a tooth engaging head (26) biased against the toothed edge (23) inside the sleeve (21) for supporting the sleeve about the support rod (22) while permitting upward displacement of the sleeve about the rod. The tooth engaging member (25) can be unbiased from the toothed edge (23) of the support rod (22) to permit downward displacement of the sleeve (21) about the rod (22). A locking member (40) is provided to lock the tooth engaging member (25) in arresting position with the toothed edge (23). The sleeve (21) is also provided with a connector (52) for support engagement with one of the corner frame members (11) of the scaffolding (10).
