A scaffolding assembly having at least one pair of substantially parallel spaced-apart scaffolding components, each of which extends between a pair of substantially vertical spaced-apart uprights and supports a respective end of a deck plate extending therebetween. Each scaffolding component is adapted to receive a respective end of said deck plate and prevent accidental disengagement of said deck plate due to wind or accidental contact. Each end of the scaffolding component is provided with oppositely directed tongues extending laterally therefrom, said tongues being adapted to engage securing means mounted on each of said uprights.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A scaffolding assembly comprising:at least one pair of substantially parallel spaced apart scaffolding components; anda pair of substantially vertical spaced apart uprights, each of said scaffolding components extending between said pair of substantially vertical spaced apart uprights and supporting a respective end, having outwardly and downwardly extending hooks, of at least one deck plate extending therebetween;each scaffolding component comprising a an upper substantially horizontal elongate member, a lower substantially horizontal elongate member fixedly coupled in vertically spaced-apart relation to said upper elongate member, each said scaffolding component has an end plate secured to each end thereof, each end plate being secured to both a respective upper and lower substantially horizontal elongated members in fixing said upper and lower substantially horizontal elongated members in the vertically spaced-apart relationship; each said end plate being formed with oppositely directed tongues, a first of said oppositely directed tongue extending laterally from a first end of said upper and lower elongate members, and a second of said oppositely directed tongue extending laterally from a second end of said upper and lower elongate members, the lower elongate member including recesses in an upper part of a side wall thereof, each recess being adapted to receive a respective one of said hooks, at least part of the upper elongate member having a width less than that of the lower elongate member and being provided with lateral projections, at least part of each projection being located substantially vertically above a corresponding recess to limit the vertical movement of hook received therein while permitting horizontal movement of the hook therebelow, said first and second of said oppositely directed tongues being adapted to engage securing means located on each of said uprights;each of said securing means comprising a pair of opposed retaining elements adapted to receive said tongues, one of said retaining elements being fixed to the upright and the other of said retaining elements being movable along the upright with respect to said fixed retaining element, such that after separation of said retaining elements, a said oppositely directed tongues can be engaged with the fixed retaining element and upon subsequent movement of the movable retaining element the oppositely directed tongues are engaged by the movable retaining element, thereby securing the end of a respective scaffolding component to the respective upright.
