A ladder attachment may allow a ladder to securely rest on a corner of a structure, structure corners, tree, or the like. The attachment may be attached to the rung of a ladder via several mounting brackets and mounting flanges. The attachment includes first and second arms which may be arranged at about a 90 angle to allow the positioning a ladder on the corner of the structure or oddly shaped structures during use.

A ladder having a first rail. The ladder having a second rail. The ladder having a plastic top directly attached to the first rail and second rail with fasteners. The top having a first side and a second side. The first side having a gap with a surface with a first rectangular slot and a second rectangular slot extending from the first rectangular slot so an external corner can fit into the first rectangular slot when the top leans against the corner. The surface of the first side having a first notch in the gap so a first rectangular plank can fit into the first notch when the top leans against the plank. The first notch having a width slightly larger than a width of the first plank. A ladder top. A method for using a ladder.

A ladder having a first rail. The ladder having a second rail. The ladder having a plastic top directly attached to the first rail and second rail with fasteners. The top having a first side and a second side. The first side having a gap with a surface with a V so a corner can fit into the V when the top leans against the corner. The surface of the first side having a first notch in the gap so a first rectangular plank can fit into the first notch when the top leans against the plank. The first notch having a width slightly larger than a width of the first plank. A ladder top. A method for using a ladder.

A ladder top can be releasably attached to various straight ladders or the fly parts of extension ladders. The ladder top is configured to engage against a flat wall on one side, and against exterior corners or other structures on the opposite side. The ladder top has a top wall with two spaced shells which have downwardly opening pockets which receive the rails of the ladder. One or more keeper pins extend through holes in the shells to reduce the effective dimensions of the pockets accommodating ladder rails with or without bumper tops. Flanges on either or both sides of the shells have openings allowing bungee cords, wires, or cord to hold the ladder top to the ladder by engaging the ladder rung to the top.

Ladders and ladder components are described herein, including multipurpose and adjustable ladders. In one embodiment, a ladder includes a first assembly having rails and rungs, a second assembly having rails and rungs, and one or more hinges coupling the first and second assemblies together such that the first and second assembly may be positioned relative to one another in at least a position or state and at least a second position or state. A top cap is coupled to the rails of the first assembly, such that when the first and second assemblies are in the first position, the rails of the second assembly do not contact the top cap. When the first and second assemblies are in the second position, each rail of the second assembly is at least partially nested in one of a pair of channels formed in the top cap.

A ladder including a ladder body and a positioning structure. The positioning structure is connected at the top of the ladder body and comprises a positioning connecting rod a pair of positioning legs. The positioning connecting rod is connected to the main body of the ladder and the positioning legs are connected to both ends of the positioning connecting rod. The positioning legs may include positioning links and a positioning plate. The positioning links are connected between the positioning connecting rod and the positioning plate. The positioning plate is used to secure the ladder body to a surface. When in use, the top of the ladder body can be fixed at a high place by the positioning structure. In fixing one end, the entire is more secure thereby improving the safety during use.
