Abstract

A stand - off adapted for use on corners of buildings, chimneys and the like comprises a framework of generally X shape, incorporating a 90 degree angle plate at the junction of the arms to bear against the corner. Adjustable hooks allow the device to be fitted to ladders with differing spacing between rungs, by co - operation with a retaining spring and hook as shown. For use on a flat surface, a detachable front bar may be attached across the front of the arms, e.g. using bolts.

Description

2341882 A DUAL PURPOSE LADDER STAND-OFF This invention related to a dual
purpose Ladder Stand-off A Ladder Stand-off is an integral part of many professionals in the building trade together with many thousand D.I.Y. enthusiasts. The usual type being a triangular metal framework fixed to the top of an extended ladder, and held in place with fixed hooks which when attached to the rungs of the ladder and secured by means of a spring clasp, enables the operative to work more effectively as the ladder is kept away from the surface that is to be worked upon.
This general type of 'stand-off however does have limitations. They were designed to work on a level surface, i.e. the side of a building and the like.
The Cornerstone was conceived to help overcome some of these limitations.
The device would be fabricated from aluminiurn strips and would be formed into an 'X' shaped component fitted with a 90' rubber lined wall plate at the inside junction. Rubber buffer strips would also be installed along the inside edge of the two main facing supports. The bottom sections would extend downward and would be equipped with adjustable hooks that would be attached around the rungs of the ladder and a connecting piece would be attached to the bottom bracing bar by a spring clasp or other means not shown. A detachable front bar, lined at the front face with a rubber buffer and machined to fit to the upper ends of the top section, enable the device to be used in a conventional way.
A specific embodiment of the invention will now be described by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings:
Figure 1 shows in perspective the stand-off in open mode with front bar detached.
Figure 2 illustrates stand-off attached to ladder and safely abutting both elevations of the comer in order to facilitate a safe working environment.
Figure 3 illustrates the stand-off with front bar attached, thus enabling the operative the use off a conventional stand-off facility.
Figure 4 illustrates the stand-off in open mode and attached to a ladder with detailed view of adjustable hooks; The adjustable hooks are incorporated in the design to facilitate the use of the stand-off on ladders with varying distances between the rungs.
Referring to the drawing in Figure 1, the stand-off comprises a metal fiamework, forming an 'X' shaped component 1 with a 900 wall plate 2 at the inside junction. The detachable front bar 3 is shown, and this is secured to the ends of the two main facing supports 4 by means of bolts 5, or other means not shown. Rubber buffer strips 6 are incorporated onto the faces of the main facing supports and to the detachable front bar.
Adjustable hooks 7 are incorporated to secure the device to the ladder together with a spring clasp 8 or other means not shown.
