Abstract
A corner support assembly for attachment to wall scaffold bracket of wall scaffolding. The corner support assembly having an upper mounting adapter, a retaining adapter, a securing rod and a lower mounting adapter. The upper leg of the wall scaffold, the mounting adapter, the wall and the retaining adapter are sandwiched with the securing rod and a rod retaining nut, thereby securing the upper leg of the wall scaffold bracket in place against the wall. The lower mounting adapter and the lower leg of the wall scaffold bracket are forced against the wall providing additional support and stability for the wall scaffold bracket. The stabilizing flanges of the upper and the lower mounting adapters rest against the outside corner of the building and the scaffold bracket is stabilized around the corner. Workers are able to work safely around corners of buildings and they can quickly install the scaffold bracket using common wall scaffolding systems.
