TOP CAP FOR MULTI-POSITION LADDER
An multi-position ladder is disclosed that includes an adjustable top cap that provides a tool or material tool tray when the ladder is in a stepladder position and provides a step when the ladder is in an extension ladder position is disclosed. The top cap generally comprises a rigid frame extending between the adjustable hinges of the multi-position ladder with a tool or utility tray and a step surface on opposing sides. The tool tray is parallel to the ladder rungs when the ladder is in a stepladder position, and the step surface provides a generally planar surface parallel the rungs when the ladder is in an extension position. The rigid frame of the top cap adds strength to the adjustment hinge and to the multi-position ladder. Embodiments allow for 12-inch hinge spacing, adding one foot reach in the extension position and six inch reach to the stepladder.

OVER-THE-COUNTER SEAT
An apparatus includes front and back legs and a top cap that is pivotally coupled to the front legs along a first lateral axis and pivotally coupled to the back legs along a second lateral axis. The top cap has a front edge, a back edge, and a top surface available for use as a seat. The first lateral axis is closer to the front edge than the second lateral axis, and the first lateral axis is spaced further from the front edge than the second lateral axis is spaced from the back edge. The apparatus further includes a stabilizer secured to the top cap between the front edge and the first lateral axis, wherein the stabilizer extends in a downward direction from the top cap for engaging a countertop and/or a recess in the countertop, such as a sink. The stabilizer optionally includes a clamp for gripping the countertop.
Ladder
A ladder that enables unwanted accidents to be avoided by means of a simplified structure and mechanism, said ladder comprising: a main structure (10) comprising stringers (11), rungs (12) and an upper platform (13); and a support leg (20) in the shape of a tube (22) pivotally connected to the upper platform (13). The upper platform comprises a top face, two side faces, a front face, and a rear face, wherein said side faces have connection means to a connector of the support leg (20). In addition, the rear face has a slot (24) whose height is less than the diameter of the tube (22).

TWO-STEP STEP STOOL
A two-step step stool includes a primary stool and a secondary stool. The primary stool includes a primary supporting plate and a primary pedal hinged with a top of the primary supporting plate. The secondary stool includes a secondary supporting plate and a secondary pedal hinged with a top of the secondary supporting plate. The secondary pedal is higher than the primary pedal. A middle plate is arranged between the primary stool and the secondary stool and is respectively hinged with the primary pedal and the secondary pedal. A linkage mechanism capable of folding the primary stool and the secondary stool synchronously is further arranged between the primary stool and the secondary stool. The two-step step stool can be drawn close towards the middle plate when being folded by hinging the primary pedal with the middle plate and hinging the secondary pedal with the middle plate.
Carrier, and related systems and methods
A carrier comprises a frame coupleable with a ladder in a first position and a second position, and a harness that one can wear to hold the frame to himself/herself. In the first position, the frame supports the ladder when one carries the frame. In the second position, the frame and ladder, together, support one when one sits on the frame. The carrier's frame includes a first member that holds the ladder when the frame is in the first position, and a second member that supports a person sitting on the frame when the frame is in the second position. With the ability to position the carrier's frame in a first position and a second position, one can use the carrier to carry a ladder to and from where one will be working without having to use one or both of one's hands. This allows one to use both hands and/or arms to carry one's tools and supplies to where one will be working. Then, later in the day, one can use the same carrier to sit on while taking a break.
Toilet Training Step Ladder
A toilet-training step stool or ladder that may be positioned around a toilet allowing a child to climb up and use a standard toilet seat. The ladder is especially useful for assisting a small male child to position and steady themselves adjacent to and facing the front of the toilet bowl while in a standing position.

Ladder caddy system
A ladder caddy system is detachable attachable to a ladder top via a ladder connector, having a magnet configured below the ladder top. In an exemplary embodiment, the ladder connector is aligned with the ladder aperture in the ladder top and the main connector is inserted through the ladder aperture and into the ladder connector to magnetically couple the main connector magnet with the ladder connector magnet. The main receptacle assembly includes a main receptacle and may have a power tool retainer attached thereto and configured to retain a power tool such as a power drill. A retainer band may further secure a power tool in the power tool retainer. Other receptacles may be detachable attachable to the main receptacle assembly, such as a ring receptacle that comprises a conduit, a ring that can be slid over the power tool retainer. A detachable receptacle may be coupled to the main receptacle via a detachable receptacle connector that has a magnet that is attracted to main receptacle connector or secondary connector of the main receptacle.
