Patent ID: 7353911

Claim:
A removable shelf for attachment to a scaffold comprising: a generally L-shaped frame having an apex area and first and second legs and including a releasable engagement arrangement connectable around one of a plurality of vertically spaced horizontal crossbars of the scaffold to secure said apex area to the crossbar for substantially only pivotal movement of said frame on and about a longitudinal axis of the crossbar; an object support panel connected to each of said first and second legs; said first leg being of sufficient length to extend between two vertically adjacent crossbars wherein, when said apex area is releasably secured by said engagement member around an upper one of the two crossbars with said second leg and corresponding support panel being substantially horizontally disposed, a distal portion of said first leg contacts a lower one of the two crossbars to maintain the substantially horizontal orientation of said second leg and corresponding support panel when objects are, placed atop said support panel attached to said second leg; said engagement arrangement including an elongated shaft held on said frame for sliding longitudinal translation of said shaft, said shaft having a U-shaped crossbar engaging member formed at one end of said shaft and a pull handle connected to another end of said shaft, said shaft being biased toward the upper crossbar to maintain said crossbar engaging member in a closed position against the upper crossbar.
