Horizontal supporter for scaffolds

Abstract

A horizontal supporter for scaffolds is disclosed. The horizontal supporter is configured such that, when a pressing piece is moved upward in order to unlock a locking piece, the pressing piece and the locking piece are caught by each other due to engagement between a catching recess and a latching projection, whereby the pressing piece remains moved upward, wherein, even when the elasticity of an elastic body is reduced due to repetitive use of the horizontal supporter or even when a gap is formed between the related parts due to wear of the related parts, it is possible to prevent the pressing piece from moving downward due to the weight of the pressing piece, whereby it is possible to eliminate trouble in use and to reduce financial loss due to a reduction in the lifespan of the horizontal supporter.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A horizontal supporter for scaffolds configured to have a structure in which catching members are provided at opposite ends of a pipe and in which a pressing piece, a locking piece, and an elastic body are coupled into each of the catching members such that, when the pressing piece is forcibly moved downward, a locking part of the locking piece protrudes from a corresponding one of the catching members along an inclined surface of the pressing piece, whereby locking between the horizontal supporter and a vertical supporter is achieved, wherein the pressing piece and the locking piece are caught by each other due to engagement between a catching recess and a latching projection when the pressing piece is moved upward, whereby the pressing piece remains moved upward.
