Claim:
A scaffold comprising: a plurality of vertical supports ( 11 ) arranged spaced apart beside one another and behind one another, between which: tiers (A, B, C) are arranged one above the other realised by: a plurality of first horizontal carriers ( 12 ) extending parallel to one another between adjacent vertical supports, a plurality of second horizontal carriers ( 13 ) extending parallel to one another between adjacent vertical supports and arranged perpendicular to said first horizontal carriers ( 12 ) at the same height; and a plurality of rectangular scaffold decks ( 14 ) each having two long and two short sides ( 16 , 17 ) and holding means being provided at the two short sides. and wherein said decks are releasably supported in the assembled state of the scaffold through the holding means on two adjacent first horizontal carriers ( 12 ); a plurality of diagonal braces ( 35 ) being connected to adjacent vertical supports ( 11 ) characterized in that; the decks ( 14 ) have at least one guide stop ( 15 ) projecting from one of said long sides and close to but spaced from at least one of said short sides ( 16 , 17 ), said guide stop extending along only a portion of said deck and is adapted to be slidingly placed on a second horizontal cater ( 13 ) in such a manner that check ( 14 ) held by an operator at the short side ( 17 ) remote from the guide stop ( 15 ) and operative to be displaced by sliding the guide stop ( 15 ) on the second horizontal carrier ( 13 ) to an opposite first horizontal carrier ( 12 ) and which is projecting to such an extent from said one side that by tilting the deck about the second horizontal carrier ( 13 ) on which the guide stop rests, said holding means is positioned higher than the opposite first horizontal carrier ( 12 ) so that the deck can be pushed to a position where said holding means is positioned over the opposite first horizontal carrier ( 12 ) and brought to rest into the position of use thereon, where the holding means have engaged the first horizontal carriers, by tilting back and lowering the deck into the horizontal position whereupon said holding means supports said deck upon said first horizontal carriers.
