Abstract:
1. A toeboard system for scaffolding, comprising: a telescoping member with an inner sleeve slidingly received within an outer sleeve so that the inner sleeve may be moved from at least a first position defining a first toeboard length to at least a second position defining a second toeboard length that is longer than the first toeboard length, the telescoping member comprising a first end member including a mounting structure with a fixed element, a retractable element with elastic elements disposed therein, and a catch element, wherein the retractable element has a thin-walled body shaped to have mounting sections that protrude inwardly to mate with grooves in the catch element; an articulating member coupled to the telescoping member for rotational movement from a first position aligning a longitudinal axis of the articulating member with a longitudinal axis of the outer sleeve to a second position wherein the longitudinal axis of the articulating member is at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the outer sleeve, the articulating member comprising a second end member including a receiving structure with locating elements that define a gap, wherein the mounting structure and the receiving structure are interlockable with other toeboard systems.
