: Application December 4, 1935, Serial'No. 52,92 1 8Claims. (cLzza-is) The device iorming the subject matter of this application is 'an' extension ladder, preferably :made of metal, such as aluminum-and the in- .ventionaims to improve the'constructionoi the foot SeCtlOlTfllid. the head section, to provide novel means for assembling the foot section and the head section for relative longitudinal sliding movement, and, generally, to improve and to enhance the utility of devices of that type to which the invention appertains. J Y
With the above and other objects in ,view,
which will appear as the description proceeds, the
invention resides in' the combination and arrangement or parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the 'precise embodiment of. the invention he'rein disclosed,
' may be made within the scope of what is claimed,
without departing Irom' the spirit of the invention. r
In the accompanying drawings: Fig. 1 shows in --plan, Kan extension wherein the invention is embodledy- Fig. 2" is a side elevation'ot'the ladder; Fig. 3 is asection taken' pr 'oxi line-3-3 of ig.2;

Fig. 7 is'a transverse section'showing another modification v Fig; 8 is a: section on the line 8-4 of Fig. '7. The device forming the subject matter of this application is an all metal extension ladder, preierably made oi aluminum. It; comprises a foot sectionl anda head section 2 mounted for longitudinal slidingadjustment on the foot section I I. The foot section'willbe described ,flrst, then\ the head sectionfand then the relation between the foot section and the head section will be made manifest.
The foot section I comprises side members. Each side member includes oppositely disposed, transversely spaced rails 3, which are' bulb type T-bars, each including a body and a flange, the
flanges projecting toward each other, as shown in 'Figs..1 and 4. Inner and outer gusset plates 4 are mounted on the opposite sides of the flanges of the rails 3, and are connected thereto by securing elements, such as rivets 5.
Brackets 6, in the form of angle members (Fig. 4) are secured by certain 01 the rivets 5 to the inner surfaces of the inner gusset plates 4, near rivets Fare headed.

The head section 215 construct-ed so nearlyi lik e thei'o'ot section I, that it need not be described in detail. The head section 2 does not havethe guides I and the angle brackets 6, and is not 25 so wide as the foot section I. With the foregoing diil'erentiatlng characteristics duly noted,
the head section 2 may be dismissed with the designation oi! the rungs of the head section by the numeral ll. 7
