Description
LADDER STABILIZING DEVICE
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates in general to ladder safety devices and deals more particularly with an improved stabilizing device for a ground-supported straight ladder.
A ground supported ladder of the type with which the present invention is concerned is used in an inclined position with its upper end portion resting on or against a suitable support. When a downwardly directed force is applied to the ladder by someone standing on it there is a nature tendency for the base of the ladder to move in a horizontal direction away from the supporting surface. Most serious accidents involving ladders of this type can be attributed to failure to provide a sound ladder footing. Long straight ladders and particularly extension ladders are inherently unstable when supported on uneven ground.
When such a ladder is used on irregular or sloping surfaces it is common practice to block or shim the ladder to compensate for the irregularity of the supporting surface. This is an extremely dangerous practice, but in many instances the practice cannot be avoided. This is particularly true where there is no provision for adjusting the effective length of the ladder side rails.
Accordingly, it is the general aim of the present invention to provide an improved ladder stabilizing device which is geometrically designed to provide a wide support base to assure firm footing for a straight ladder. It is a further aim of the invention to provide a ladder stabilizing device which may be readily adjusted to compensate for irregularities in the ladder supporting surface and may be collapsed to a storage position for convenient handling and storage.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
In accordance with the present invention, a stabilizing device is provided for a straight ladder having elongate parallel laterally spaced apart side rails including upper and lower ends and a plurality of spaced apart rungs extending laterally between and connecting the side rails. Such a ladder is normally arranged in a forwardly and upwardly inclined position with the upper WO 97/30260 PCT/US96l02085 end portion resting on a supporting structure. The stabilizing device comprises a base member having an upwardly extending front leg and an upwardly extending rear leg spaced from the front leg. The base member further includes a forwardly and upwardly inclined carrying member which is connected to and extends between the upper ends of the rear leg and the front leg. An elongate support member is mounted on the base member for pivotal movement about a laterally extending axis relative to the base member and carries a connecting member which defines a socket for receiving the lower end of an associated side rail.
A
means is provided for releasably securing the associated side rail to the connecting member.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Turning now to the drawing and referring first to Fig. 1 a pair of ladder stabilizing devices embodying the present invention and indicated generally at and 10' are shown attached to and supporting a straight ladder designated generally by the letter L. The illustrated ladder L is a conventional extension ladder and has a main section M which includes a pair of elongate parallel laterally spaced apart side rails S, S. The side rails have upper and lower ends, but only the lower ends are shown. A plurality of longitudinally spaced apart rungs R, R extend laterally between and connect the side rails S, S. The illustrated ladder L is an extension ladder and also includes an extendible section (not shown) which is generally telescopically engaged with the main section M. The ladder L is adapted for use in a forwardly and upwardly inclined position with the ~ ___..__._ ._ .. T .
upper end portion of the ladder resting upon a suitable supporting structure {not shown). The stabilizing devices 10, 10' are adjustable and particularly adapted to support a ladder, such as the ladder L, in a stable position both on a level supporting surface and on uneven ground, as shown in Fig. 1 and as will be hereinafter evident from the further description which follows.
The illustrated ladder stabilizing devices 10 and 10' are preferable fabricated from a light weight metal, such as aluminum, and are substantially identical to each other, but of opposite hand for a reason which will be hereinafter evident.
Further referring to the drawings and particularly to Figs. 2-4, the left hand device 10 is illustrated and essentially comprises a base member indicated generally by the numeral 12, a support member pivotally mounted on the base member and designated generally by the numeral 14 and a connecting member indicated generally at 16 and adjustably secured to the support member 14.
Considering the ladder stabilizing device 10 in further detail, the base member 12 comprises a unitary structure and includes an upwardly extending rear leg 18 and an upwardly extending front leg 20, which is somewhat longer than the rear leg, and a forwardly and upwardly inclined carrying member 22 integrally connected to and extending between the upper ends of the rear leg 18 and the front leg 20. Preferably and as shown the legs 18 and 20 have friction pads 23, 23 attached to the bottom surfaces thereof, as best shown in Figs. 2 and 4.
The support member 14 has a longitudinally upwardly extending elongate shank 25 and a bifurcated lower end portion or cievis 24 which straddles the carrying member 22. The lower end portion of the support member 14 is pivotally connected to the carrying member 22 by a pivot pin or bolt 26 which extends laterally through both the bifurcated lower end portion 24 and the carrying member 22. Preferably, and as best shown in Fig. 2, the axis of the pivot pin 26, indicated at 28, is located closer to the front leg 20 than to the rear leg 18. A series of longitudinally spaced apart cylindrical holes 30, 30 extend transversely through the upwardly extending shank 25 for a purpose which will be hereinafter further evident.
The connecting member 16 is slidably supported on the shank 25 and is formed as either a right or left handed part, as shown in Fig. 1. It has a generally rectangular collar portion 32 and a socket defining portion 34 which is both laterally and rearwardly offset relative to the collar portion 32, as best shown in Figs. 3 and 5. The collar portion 32 has a rectangular bore 36 extending through it which receives and substantially complements the shank 25 on the support member 14. Laterally aligned cylindrical holes 38, 38 substantially equal in size to the holes 30, 30 open through opposite sides of the collar portion 32 for registry with a selected one of the holes 30, 30 to receive a locking pin 40 for releasably securing the collar in a selected one of a plurality of incremental positions of adjustment along the shank 25. The Pocking pin may take various forms. However, the illustrated locking pin 40 includes a spring ball decent at its free end for releasably retaining the pin in assembly with the collar 34.
The socket defining portion 34 includes an upwardly open blind socket 42 partially defined by a slot 44 in the front wall of the socket defining portion 34. The socket has a generally T-shaped cross-section as viewed from above (Figs. 3 and 5) and is particularly adapted to receive the lower end of a metal ladder having side rails S, S of channel shaped cross-section. A
clamping fastener 46 threadably engaged in the rear wall of the socket defining portion for clampingly engaging the lower end portion of a ladder sidewall S to releasably retain the device 10 in assembly with the ladder.
In Fig. 5 the lower end of a side rail of the extension ladder L is shown clamped within the socket 42, the extendible portion of the ladder being shown in broken lines. When the device 10 is attached to a ladder of the type shown the extendible portion of the ladder may be moved to its fully lowered position without removing the device from the ladder. It is for this reason that the socket defining portion is offset relative to the collar portion 32. The geometry of the base member 12 and the manner in which the support member 14 is connected to the base member provide a sound support base for the ladder L.
The support base 12 is pivotally moveable between an active position wherein the carrying member 22 extends generally transversely of the support member 14 and a storage position wherein the carrying member is disposed in generally axially parallel relation to the support member, as it appears in broken fines in Fig. 2.
Fig. 6 illustrates another ladder stabilizing device embodying the present invention and indicated generally at 10a. The illustrated device 10a is similar in most respects to the device 10 previously described and parts which correspond to parts of the previously described device bear the same reference numeral and a letter a suffix and will not be hereinafter described in detail.
T .. ~ .____._... ... T .. _ ___._.._.
The device 10a differs from the device 10 in the construction and arrangement of the support member 14a. Specifically, the support member 14a has an upwardly extending shank portion 25a which carries the connecting member 16a, as previously described. The support member 14a also has a 5 bifurcated lower end portion indicated at 24a which is laterally offset relative to the shank portion 25a.
The ladder stabilizing device 10a, which comprises the presently preferred structure, is used in combination with a substantially identical ladder stabling device of opposite hand to support a straight ladder in the manner hereinbefore described. However, because of the laterally offset arrangement of the base members 12 the devices provide a somewhat wider support base for a ladder and provide a greater degree of lateral stability.
The illustrated ladder stabilizing devices 10 and 10' are preferable fabricated from a light weight metal, such as aluminum, and are substantially identical to each other, but of opposite hand for a reason which will be hereinafter evident.
Further referring to the drawings and particularly to Figs. 2-4, the left hand device 10 is illustrated and essentially comprises a base member indicated generally by the numeral 12, a support member pivotally mounted on the base member and designated generally by the numeral 14 and a connecting member indicated generally at 16 and adjustably secured to the support member 14.
Considering the ladder stabilizing device 10 in further detail, the base member 12 comprises a unitary structure and includes an upwardly extending rear leg 18 and an upwardly extending front leg 20, which is somewhat longer than the rear leg, and a forwardly and upwardly inclined carrying member 22 integrally connected to and extending between the upper ends of the rear leg 18 and the front leg 20. Preferably and as shown the legs 18 and 20 have friction pads 23, 23 attached to the bottom surfaces thereof, as best shown in Figs. 2 and 4.
The support member 14 has a longitudinally upwardly extending elongate shank 25 and a bifurcated lower end portion or cievis 24 which straddles the carrying member 22. The lower end portion of the support member 14 is pivotally connected to the carrying member 22 by a pivot pin or bolt 26 which extends laterally through both the bifurcated lower end portion 24 and the carrying member 22. Preferably, and as best shown in Fig. 2, the axis of the pivot pin 26, indicated at 28, is located closer to the front leg 20 than to the rear leg 18. A series of longitudinally spaced apart cylindrical holes 30, 30 extend transversely through the upwardly extending shank 25 for a purpose which will be hereinafter further evident.
The connecting member 16 is slidably supported on the shank 25 and is formed as either a right or left handed part, as shown in Fig. 1. It has a generally rectangular collar portion 32 and a socket defining portion 34 which is both laterally and rearwardly offset relative to the collar portion 32, as best shown in Figs. 3 and 5. The collar portion 32 has a rectangular bore 36 extending through it which receives and substantially complements the shank 25 on the support member 14. Laterally aligned cylindrical holes 38, 38 substantially equal in size to the holes 30, 30 open through opposite sides of the collar portion 32 for registry with a selected one of the holes 30, 30 to receive a locking pin 40 for releasably securing the collar in a selected one of a plurality of incremental positions of adjustment along the shank 25. The Pocking pin may take various forms. However, the illustrated locking pin 40 includes a spring ball decent at its free end for releasably retaining the pin in assembly with the collar 34.
The socket defining portion 34 includes an upwardly open blind socket 42 partially defined by a slot 44 in the front wall of the socket defining portion 34. The socket has a generally T-shaped cross-section as viewed from above (Figs. 3 and 5) and is particularly adapted to receive the lower end of a metal ladder having side rails S, S of channel shaped cross-section. A
clamping fastener 46 threadably engaged in the rear wall of the socket defining portion for clampingly engaging the lower end portion of a ladder sidewall S to releasably retain the device 10 in assembly with the ladder.
In Fig. 5 the lower end of a side rail of the extension ladder L is shown clamped within the socket 42, the extendible portion of the ladder being shown in broken lines. When the device 10 is attached to a ladder of the type shown the extendible portion of the ladder may be moved to its fully lowered position without removing the device from the ladder. It is for this reason that the socket defining portion is offset relative to the collar portion 32. The geometry of the base member 12 and the manner in which the support member 14 is connected to the base member provide a sound support base for the ladder L.
The support base 12 is pivotally moveable between an active position wherein the carrying member 22 extends generally transversely of the support member 14 and a storage position wherein the carrying member is disposed in generally axially parallel relation to the support member, as it appears in broken fines in Fig. 2.
Fig. 6 illustrates another ladder stabilizing device embodying the present invention and indicated generally at 10a. The illustrated device 10a is similar in most respects to the device 10 previously described and parts which correspond to parts of the previously described device bear the same reference numeral and a letter a suffix and will not be hereinafter described in detail.
