Wall hung safety bracket

Abstract

A bracketed scaffold system configured for attachment to a wall prior to the wall construction which uses a hook adapter to hang the scaffold bracket over the top of the wall and a securing plate that is secured to the stud inside the wall to secure the scaffold to the wall. The hook adapter is attachably connected to the upper end of a vertical wall bar and the securing plate is longitudinally parallel with and attachably connected to the lower end of the vertical wall bar. A horizontal rail is perpendicular to the vertical wall. A connecting brace is attachably connected to the lower end of the vertical wall bar and the distal end of the horizontal rail, thereby forming a triangular configuration. The vertical wall bar is braced against the surface of the wall using a horizontal brace.
