According to the present invention there is provided adjustable ladder feet.
The adjustable ladder feet insert" into the bottom of ladders / with a rubber foot to one end to Help grip the ground, and a moulded threaded steel bar attached to the rubber foot with a type of lock off nut To rotate threaded bar up and down when inserted into a threaded base plate, which will be in inserted into the end of any ladder.
this devise then enables the ladders to be safer when used on uneven ground. You simply adjust The lockable nut by turning with your thumb and finger. By turning the nut the threaded bar rotates up or down with the moulded rubber foot To take out the unevenness of the ground.

Figure 1 shows in prospective, the ladders in position with the adjustable ladder feet incorporated.
as numbers 12 113114115116. items 11 ladder legs.
Figure 2 illustrates one of the adjustable ladder feet extended by turning 14 lock off nut in a clockwise direction by this movement the steel threaded bar 12 rotates opposite to 14 this causing 12/lS/16 to slide up and down through the threaded base 13 fixed securely to 11. By rotating 14 a lock off type nut in either diction will take out the un even ground making both ladder legs touch the ground at the same ffme. Causing the ladder to be more stable instead of wobbling by the an even ground.
