The base top side has a plurality of mounting apertures extending through the base bottom side. An extendable arm is coupled to the base foot. The arm comprises a lower portion pivotably coupled to the base top side and an upper portion adjustably coupled to the lower portion. An engagement hook is coupled to the extendable arm. The engagement hook has a flat portion pivotably coupled to the upper portion and a hooked portion extending from the flat portion. The hooked portion is configured to selectively engage a rung of a ladder.
Ladder Stabilization Apparatus and a Stable Ladder
A ladder includes a ladder stabilization apparatus which includes implements for providing sideways support, front-back support, and a bridge to rest the ladder on a structure to be climbed, such that the ladder is stable when a user climbs the ladder facing away from the structure, and the bridge allows the user to climb out of the ladder on to the structure through the bridge. The bridge also allows the user to climb on to the ladder facing from the structure, facing away from the structure, while the ladder is stable when the user climbs down while acing away from the structure.
CHAR Fire Fighting, Climbing and Demolition Hook
The CHAR (Climb, Hook And Rip) is a multipurpose tool used by interior structural firefighters to accomplish common essential tasks such as pulling down ceilings, and breaching walls. In addition, it facilitates a quick advancement into the attic of a structure to extinguish fire extension. The innovation is that the CHAR's unique head secures the tool to dimensional 2 lumber, common to wood framed dwelling structures. The head allows an interior firefighter to hook floor and ceiling joists and climb the tool itself to reach another level of the structure. Most likely the tool is used to rip down the ceiling, hook the ceiling joist and climb up to the attic. In a worst-case scenario such as a firefighter falling through the floor, the firefighter may be able to hook a floor joist and climb up the tool to self-rescue.
A SUSPENSION ARRANGEMENT FOR ATTACHING COMPONENTS ON A WALL OF A WIND TURBINE TOWER
A suspension arrangement (7) for attachment to a support (2, 17) being made from a magnetisable material is disclosed. The suspension arrangement (7) comprises a magnetic attachment means (8) and a glue surface (9) having a glue depression (10). The magnetic attachment means (8) comprises a magnetic material allowing the suspension arrangement (7) to be releasably attached to the support (2, 17). The glue depression (10) is configured for receiving a glue portion (11) in order to permanently attach the suspension arrangement (7) to the support (2, 17). The glue surface (9) is arranged in contact with the support (2, 17) when the suspension arrangement (7) is attached to the support (2, 17).
Ladder Standoff and Ladder Incorporating the Standoff
A ladder standoff includes at least one bent plate that is configured to be detachably engaged with at least one ladder rung of a ladder by at least one connection plate that is configured to be detachably connected to the bent plate and to the ladder rung. The ladder standoff may be attached to a ladder and used to secure a ladder to a vertically-extending building wall structure at a selected distance. The length of the ladder standoff can be extended in a substantially horizontal direction in relation to the vertically extending ladder and vertically extending building wall to provide a ladder standoff with variable lengths to accommodate different distances between the ladder and the surface of the vertically extending building wall.
Attachment for an extension ladder
An attachment for an extension ladder includes a tray supported upon a pair of tray support rods and a tray support rod brace. A scuff pad is capable of being secured to the common first end of the tray support rods while the common second end is capable of being secured to an extension ladder. Each tray support rod is supported by a tray support rod angular brace which is capable of being removably secured adjacent each tray support rod first end and removably secured to the extension ladder at a support rod angular brace second end subjacent the tray support rod second end ladder attachment point. Each tray support rod and tray support rod angular brace is capable of being adjusted lengthwise.
LADDER SAFETY LOCK SYSTEM
A ladder safety lock disclosed herein includes a rod adapted for insertion through a ladder rung and at least one hinged flap attached an end of the rod that is configured for attachment to a free-standing secure structure, such as a portion of a roof or wall.
STAIRCASE WITH FOLDABLE TREADS
A folding staircase having a pair of stringers and at least one tread spanning between the stringers. Each of the stringers having an upper end and a lower end. Each of the treads having a forward edge and a rearward edge that define the width of each tread. The treads being pivotally moveable between the stringers. A linkage connecting each tread at a pivot point. The treads being movable between a use position and a stowed position.
Safety Wall Hanger
A device and method for securing objects of almost any sizes and shapes to a wall is disclosed.
A hanger comprising a length of cord suitable for the size of object to be hung, a hook shaped block with screw mounting holes, a thru hole, perpendicular and slightly below to the mounting holes for passing the length of cord, and a slot parallel to the thru hole . The thru hole and the slot should be of the same size, slightly larger than diameter of the cord.
The block is mounted to a wall by screws or other means such as double sided tape, rail mount system, peg board hook etc.
The cord of suitable length for the object is inserted into the thru hole and knotted on both end. With one of the knot resting against one side of the device, the rest of the cord is then looped on the object to be hung and then inserted into the slot, letting the other knot resting against the other side of the device.
ROOF EDGE LADDER GUARD
A ladder safety device configured to be secured to the edge of roof to prevent a ladder leaned against it from sliding sideways or falling away from the roof edge . The ladder safety device comprises a generally flat, planar inner body portion comprising a first inner horizontal rail and vertical rails spaced from one another to define a plurality of large hand-grip openings between them. The ladder safety device further includes an outer body portion comprising a second horizontal rail spaced vertically from the first horizontal rail and connected thereto by outer portions of the vertical rails. Fastener holes formed along inner ends of the vertical rails can be used to secure the device to a roof, and projecting outer fingers define a ladder recess on an outer edge of the outer body portion. The ladder safety device is installed with the outer horizontal rail and portions of the vertical rails and the hand-grip openings spaced outwardly from the roof edge to provide a hand grip.
