A climbing stick system includes the first climbing stick and a second climbing stick. The first climbing stick includes a first step support having a cavity and a mouth leading to the cavity and first steps coupled to the first step support. The second climbing stick includes a second step support, second steps coupled to the second step support and a locking member having a head. One of the mouth and the locking member is rotatable between a locked position in which the head is locked within the cavity to retain the first climbing stick with respect to the second climbing stick and an unlocked position to facilitate separation of the first climbing stick and the second climbing stick.

Climbing devices and tree supports are provided for aiding a climber in scaling a tree, pole, or other generally vertical surface, and for supporting the climber at an elevated position along a tree or pole, such as in a standing or sitting posture. The climbing and tree supports include a body that supports one or more steps or support surfaces or handholds, a strap, cable, or other flexible securing member that is wrapped around the tree, and a retractor for stowing the flexible securing member so that it is extendable and retractable from the support. The climbing and tree supports are thus substantially self-contained so as not to require separate components for installation or use. Standoffs may be provided for stabilizing the support in a location spaced from the tree. Optionally, the steps or footrests, standoffs, and body are collapsible to compact configurations for stowage or transport.

A ladder stabilization device includes a generally L-shaped frame member having a horizontal section and a vertical section. A ladder connection hinge is disposed along one end of the frame, a foot is disposed along another end of the frame, and a panel member is connected therebetween. A ladder stabilization system includes two stabilization devices. The system transitions between an open configuration where each foot is engaged with the ground, and a closed configuration where each panel blocks the ladder steps.

A tree stand includes an activity rail assembly rotatably attached to a chair. The activity rail assembly is rotatable among a first stowed position in which the activity rail assembly is oriented upright, a second stowed position in which the activity rail assembly is oriented downwardly, and one or more deployed positions between the first stowed position and the second stowed position. The activity rail assembly is extendable and retractable between a first position and a second position, wherein when the activity rail assembly is in the first position, a horizontal activity rail portion is closer to the chair than when the activity rail assembly is in the second position. The tree stand may further include a platform to support the chair, and, optionally, a ladder portion to support the platform.

A ladder is provided comprising a first pair of spaced apart rails and a plurality of rungs extending between and coupled to the first pair of spaced apart rails. A pair of hooks are located such that each hook is positioned adjacent and upper end of an associated rail. A securing apparatus is coupled adjacent the upper end of the first pair of spaced apart rails. The securing apparatus includes a pair of spaced apart engaging members and may include a cross-member coupled therebetween. Each of the engagement members is pivotal with respect to an associated rail of the first pair of spaced apart rails. In one embodiment, the securing apparatus lacks any biasing members (e.g., springs or actuators) or locking members. The engagement members and hooks cooperatively encircle and overhead, generally horizontal support member to support and secure the ladder in a desired position.

A mobile ladder support assembly provides stable lateral and rear support, and transportability for operation of a ladder. A lateral support bar restricts lateral tilting by the assembly. A pair of height adjustable rear support bars restrict backwards tilting by the assembly. A pair of caster wheels transport the assembly and the ladder. The wheels ride a pivot bar that rotates in a first direction for a stationary position. When the pivot bar is manipulated towards the second direction, the pair of wheels drop to a mobile position. Springs at the ends of the pivot bar create tension that maintains the pivot bar in the first position. Tabs selectively engage a notches to retain the wheels in the stationary position, or release the wheels to the mobile position. The free rotation and swivel of the wheels creates a center of mass that drop the wheels to the mobile position.

A house clamp assembly having a fixed jaw and a slide bar mounted movable jaw, the fixed jaw opposing the movable jaw. A one-way drive means, by operation of a trigger handle grip, releasably engages the slide bar and advances the movable jaw towards the fixed jaw. The one-way drive means is incapable of moving the slide bar and movable jaw away from the fixed jaw. A return motion of the movable jaw (separating) is accomplished manually when the one-way drive means is disengaged. A braking lever, which is biased to bind the slide bar, prevents reverse motion of the slideable jaw away from the fixed jaw, except when the first lever is disengaged from the slide bar. A device for securing a ladder to a building, wherein the removed end of the slide member has a hook shape; wherein the jaws include jaw faces having multiple raised portions, wherein the releasable braking means of the building clamp assembly means includes a pivoting lever; wherein the locking member of the ladder hook assembly includes a pivoting lever, attached at one end to the body, and having a slot dimensioned to slideably receive the hook slide member therethrough; wherein the body of the ladder hook assembly includes a pair of slots dimensioned for and adapted to slideably receive the slide member therethrough; and wherein the slots are arranged to maintain the hook slide member substantially parallel to the slide bar of the building clamp assembly.

A fall protection system having two telescoping supports positioned at either end of a job location and having a crossbar extending there between that allow a user to work in an elevated position while also providing a tethering point to protect against falls. The supports may be coupled to a pair of conventional ladders that support a walk board, or the supports may directly support a walk board extending between the two supports. The two supports retain and securely attach to a horizontal support beam that is the anchoring location for a fall protection harness. A user may then use the walk board to perform installations or repairs above the minimum height necessary for fall protection and be secured against a fall by attaching via a harness and strap to the cross-bar.

A ladder structure for a frame bed comprises a ladder and a connecting member. The ladder comprises two side bars symmetrically located on a left side and a right side of the ladder and a plurality of transverse step bars connected to the two side bars and spaced apart from one another along a length direction of the side bars. An upper end of each of the two side bars of the ladder is connected to a side of an upper bunk frame. The ladder is disposed obliquely. Lower ends of the two side bars of the ladder are supported on the ground. A first end of the connecting member is connected to at least one of the two side bars of the ladder, and a second end of the connecting member is connected to a column of the plurality of columns which is most adjacent to the ladder.

Provided is a platform assembly that includes a platform having a mounting channel extending downward from the bottom of the platform at a mounting side of the platform, a support arm that supports the platform and engages a ladder, and a locking mechanism attached to the mounting side of the platform. The locking mechanism is configured to cover the mounting channel while in a locked position and uncover the mounting channel while in an unlocked position. When the platform assembly is installed on the ladder and engaged with a standoff bracket installed on the ladder, the platform provides a stable and substantially level platform allowing a user to step on and off the ladder.
