Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a ladder comprising two side members and steps arranged between said two side members.
  • a ladder is usually provided with at least with two side members with rungs or steps connected there between.
  • the user stands on the rungs, but may also use a rung or a step, which is positioned above the step or rung the user is standing on too support himself by resting a leg thereon.
  • the ends of the rungs if they protrude over the side members may be provided with a plastic or rubber cap in order to cover sharp edges of the rungs.
  • the cap prevents a user from hurting himself on the rungs, and they may also protect the surroundings from being unnecessary scratched when, for example, carrying the ladder around.
  • the caps are usually arranged on the ends of the rungs, and the cap is arranged and pressed between the rung and one of the side members, since the rungs are attached to the side member in the longitudinal direction of the rung.
  • EP1052366 discloses a stepladder or ladder comprising an end cap for fastening a step and adapted in particular to be fastened on uprights for step surface uprights of the stepladder or ladder Since these caps are pressed between the rung and a side member by the rung/side member connection, for example a screw, the connection may overtime get loose, if for the material of the cap breaks or relaxes.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a ladder that overcomes the above issues.
  • US4193477 discloses a ladder structure in which a plurality of extruded aluminum steps are secured to spaced, vertically disposed side rails, the rails seating in slots in the ends of the step.
  • the slots are closed by end caps.
  • the invention is based on the insight that by providing a space between a leg supporting portion of the step and the side members a side step protection can be arranged to the ladder without being pressed between the two parts, in order to protect the user from portions of the step which protrudes over the side members.
  • the invention relates to a ladder comprising two side members and steps arranged between said two side members, said two side members each comprises a front surface, which faces a user when climbing the ladder, and at least one of said steps comprises a stepping portion and a leg supporting portion, wherein said leg supporting portion is at least partly overlapping one of said front surfaces of at least one of said side members with an overlapping portion, said ladder further comprises
  • the user may be protected from hurting herself/himself on the sharp edges of overlapping portion of the leg supporting portion.
  • the overlapping portion may be used to attach the step to one of the side member in an easy way.
  • the leg support covering portion and said holding portion can be used to hold the side step protection on the leg supporting portion, in an easy way before they together are mounted to the side member.
  • the spacer creates a distance to said front portion, such that the holding portion can be arranged in the space between said front surface and said overlapping portion.
  • said leg supporting portion comprises an essentially flat outer surface, which faces the user when climbing the ladder, which flat outer surface extends partially along said side members.
  • the leg supporting portion preferably has a width which is 10+/-2 cm, more preferably 4+/-2cm. The larger the width of the leg supporting portion is the more comfortable the leg supporting portion may be for the user, since the user may support his leg on the leg supporting portion, when standing on a step arranged below, during use.
  • said spacer is a protrusion protruding from said overlapping of said leg supporting portion.
  • the spacer By having the spacer being a protrusion it can be made in the same manufacturing step as the leg supporting portion.
  • the protrusion may extend over the whole length of the leg supporting portion or only in the area of the overlapping portion of the leg supporting portion.
  • the distance of the space between said front surface and said overlapping portion is larger than the thickness of said holding portion, which is being arranged in said space. This way, the holding portion is not pressed between the front surface and the overlapping portion. If the side step protection is made of plastic and the material is being pressed, the material relaxes over time due to the relaxation behaviour of the material. Relaxation being the phenomena that a strain on a body held constant, results in the stresses acting on the same body decreasing with time.
  • said at least one holding portion is a tongue protruding from said leg support covering portion.
  • said side step protection is made of plastic or rubber.
  • said side step protection further comprises a step covering portion, which surrounds at least a part of said stepping portion.
  • a step covering portion By having a step covering portion the end of the stepping portion may be covered. A possible gap between the stepping portion and the side member may be prevented by the step covering portion.
  • said at least one step which comprises a stepping portion and a leg supporting portion, further comprises a rear portion with at least one overlapping portion, which at least partly overlaps a rear surface of said side member, said rear surface being essentially opposite arranged to said front surface.
  • the step itself gets be more stable.
  • the rear portion may be arranged in an angle to the stepping portion opposite the leg supporting portion.
  • the overlapping portion may connect the rear portion to the side member, in order to secure the step further to the side members.
  • said ladder further comprises at least a second spacer arranged between said overlapping portion of said rear portion and said rear surface in order to create a space between said rear surface and said overlapping portion
  • said side step protection further comprises a rear covering portion and at least one second holding portion, wherein said rear covering portion being at least partly arranged around said overlapping portion of said rear portion and said at least one second holding portion being arranged in said space between said rear surface and said overlapping portion.
  • the rear covering portion and said holding portion can be used to hold the side step protection on the step, in an easy way before they together are mounted to the side member.
  • the spacer creates a distance to said rear portion of the side member, such that the holding portion can be arranged in the space between said rear surface and said overlapping portion.
  • the spacer may be a protrusion protruding from said overlapping portion of said rear portion. The protrusion may extend over the whole length of the rear portion or only in the area of the overlapping portion of the rear portion.
  • said ladder further comprises at least one fastening element, which connects said overlapping portion of said leg supporting portion with said side member.
  • the overlapping portions of the leg supporting portion can be used in order to fasten the step on the side members. This is a more simple way to connect the step to the side members than connecting the step to the side members through the side member in the longitudinal direction of the step as disclosed in prior art.
  • said ladder further comprises at least one fastening element, which connects said overlapping portion of said rear portion with said side member. This way the step is further secured to the side member in an easy way.
  • said fastening element is a screw which is screwed into said side member.
  • the screw may be a self-drilling or self-tapping screw, for example a FDS screw from EJOT.
  • the side members may comprise a hole or holes, threaded or without a thread into which a screw may be fixed.
  • said fastening element is a rivet.
  • said side step protection comprises at least one opening, which at least partly surrounds said at least one fastening element, such that said side step protection is out of contact with said fastening element.
  • the opening prevents the side step protection to be in contact with the fastening element. If the side step protection is out of contact with the fastening element it cannot be pressed between the fastening element and the leg supporting portion.
  • the side step protection is made of plastic and the material is being pressed, the material relaxes over time due to the relaxation behaviour of the material. Relaxation being the phenomena that a strain on a body held constant, results in the stresses acting on the same body decreasing with time. The connection between the step and the side member would loosen after a time. The same applies if the side step protection would be made of rubber.
  • the distance of the space between said rear surface of said side member and said overlapping portion of said rear portion is larger than the thickness of said second holding portion, which is being arranged in said space. This way, the holding portions are not pressed between the rear surface and the overlapping portion. If the side step protection is made of plastic and the material is being pressed, the material relaxes over time due to the relaxation behaviour of the material. Relaxation being the phenomena that a strain on a body held constant, results in the stresses acting on the same body decreasing with time.
  • said second holding portion of said rear portion covering portion is a tongue protruding from said rear covering portion.
  • the function of the second spacer is the same as for the first spacer, i.e. to provide a space between said rear surface and said overlapping portion, into which a second holding portion may be arranged.
  • said two side members are a side member pair and said ladder further comprises a second side member pair, said first and second side member pairs are articulated arranged to each other.
  • said ladder is in particular a folding ladder, a stepladder or a stand-alone ladder.
  • Fig. 1 shows a folding ladder 1 comprising two side member pairs 20, 21, which are pivotably connected to each other.
  • the ladder 1 further comprises a pivotable step platform 30 to stand on, and a handle 31 for the user to hold on or to rest his body on when standing on the step platform 30.
  • the second side member pair 21 comprises two rear side members 50, which are supported by a support member 51.
  • the first side member pair 20 comprises two front side members 2, which will be referred to as side members 2, and two steps 3 arranged between said two side members 2.
  • On each side of each step is a side step protection 10 arranged, which surrounds the edges of the step in order to prevent the user from hurting himself on the edge.
  • the two side members 2 each comprises a front surface 4, which faces a user when climbing the ladder.

  • the stepping portion 5 is exemplified as being a flat surface, may however have a curved shape or any other suitable shape which accomplish a surface for the user to stand on.
  • the stepping portion 5 extends between the two side members 2 and it has a width, which is larger than the distance between the front surface 4 and the back surface 15 of the side members, i.e. it extends beyond the side member 2, away from the user when climbing the ladder. This is in order to get a larger stepping surface for the user.
  • the width of the stepping portion is not limited to be wider than the side member 2, it may be shorter or essentially the same.
  • the stepping portion 5 is preferably arranged to the side members 2 such that it is essentially parallel with the surface the ladder 1 is adapted to stand on during use, for example a floor.
  • the leg supporting portion 6 extends along the stepping portion 5 and it comprises two side portions, i.e. two overlapping portions 7, on each side (see Fig. 2 , where the side step protections 10 and the side members 2 are removed from the step 3).
