Definitions

  • This invention relates to a ladder securer.
  • Portable ladders are widely used apparatus for gaining access to items above normal reach. When inclined at the correct angle a ladder will normally be quite stable in use and may be ascended without difficulty.
  • US-A-3954156 which forms the basis for the 2-part form of claims relates to a device for imparting increased stability to a ladder by suspending a load from a flexible suspension member, such as a rope or cord, attached to the upper and lower ends of the ladder by means of supsension brackets.
  • An object of the present invention is to provide an improved ladder securer to assist in stabilization of a ladder in use.
  • a ladder securer comprising a rigid support bracket and a ballast weight supported on the bracket characterised by the bracket having upper means for attachment thereof to a ladder rung or stile and lower means for abutment against or attachment to a lower rung or stile of the ladder.
  • the supporting bracket may be integral to the ladder or detachable therefrom. Preferably, the length of the bracket is adjustable.
  • the bracket may also be collapsible.
  • the ballast weight may comprise a container and a filling for the container.
  • the container may be rigid or may be a sack or bag.
  • the ballast weight may comprise one or more solid weights.
  • the ballast weight may be detachable from the support bracket or may be integral with the bracket.
  • the bracket 2 is first attached to the ladder 1, by hooking it over a rung, then the ballast weight 3 is placed on the bracket.
  • each bracket and ballast weight serves to force the top of the ladder firmly against its support whilst forcing the foot of the ladder against the ground. This action make the ladder more secure and counteracts any outward force created by a user on the ladder.
  • the leverage force of the ballast weight may be adjusted by sliding the end part 4 telescopically in or out of the main body of the bracket, securing it in the desired position with a locking pin.
