LADDER WALKTHROUGH
A ladder walkthrough assembly can include a ladder; and a ladder walkthrough including a frame and a guide post, the frame coupled to the ladder the guide post coupled to the frame and extending upwards above a top end of the ladder. The frame can include a first bracket coupled to a first side rail of the ladder and a second bracket coupled to a second side rail of the ladder.
LADDER SECUREMENT DEVICE
A ladder securement device for securing a ladder to a building structure includes an elastic cord with first and second attachment hooks for attaching to gutter screws or other structural attachment points. First and second straps are slidably attached to the elastic cord to allow positioning of the straps adjacent to a rail or rung of a ladder. The straps include connection tabs and sockets to allow the straps to be attached around the rail or rung, and an adjustment slot or buckle to allow the straps to be tightened snugly to the rail or rung. With the attachment hooks attached to the structure and the straps attached to the rail or rung of a ladder, the ladder is secured to the structure to prevent the ladder from slipping or tipping.
LADDER FASCIA CLAMP AND LOCK
A clamping device for securing a ladder to a structure including a housing having a first, ladder end, and a second, building end opposite the ladder end, the housing defining an internal cavity. The clamping device utilizes a clamp with a housing end disposed within the housing and an opposite, grip end configured for releasable attachment to the structure. The clamp laterally reciprocates relative to the housing between an extended position and a retracted position. Additionally, the clamping device also includes a ladder hook associated with the ladder end of the housing for releasable engagement with the ladder, and an actuator associated with the housing and configured for causing lateral reciprocation of the clamp relative to the housing.
Ladder Stabilizer Attachment Device
A ladder stabilizer attachment device secures a ladder stabilizer to a ladder. The device includes a sleeve including an outer wall. The outer wall has an outer face, an inner face, an upper end, and a lower end. The lower end is open. A slot extends into the inner face from the lower end to receive a top end of a ladder side rail and an uppermost rung of the ladder into the slot. A top edge of the slot defines a stop whereby the stop rests upon the uppermost rung of the ladder. A coupler is mounted to the sleeve. The coupler releasably engages the uppermost rung of the ladder.
Fastening apparatus
A fastening apparatus detachably and simultaneously joins with a climbing assembly and a mounting surface to maintain a secure connection there between. A rod comprises a distal end and a proximal end that joins the climbing assembly. An anchor portion comprises a base and a wall that joins the mounting surface. A distal coil winds around the rod to create tension between the proximal end and the wall. A locking member incrementally engages and remains engaged with a section of the rod while being displaced in a fastening direction. This forms a ratcheting mechanism that incrementally displaces the proximal end towards the wall, creating an inward and downward tension between the mounting surface and the climbing assembly. A release portion disengages the locking member from the rod so that the proximal end moves in a release direction.
Ladder Support
A ladder support for use with a ladder, wherein the ladder includes a pair of rails each having a base end portion and an opposing free end portion, with the pair of rails having a plurality of rungs disposed therebetween, the ladder support is for use between a roof and a surface. The ladder support includes a telescopically adjustable extension strut having a first end and an opposing second end, further included is a curved bracket connected at the second end of the extension strut that retainably rests against a ladder rung. Also included in the ladder support is a substantially L-shaped bracket connected at the first end of the extension strut, wherein the bracket anchors to the surface to help secure the ladder rail base end portions from unwanted movement on the surface.
LADDER BUMPER
A ladder bumper for use with a ladder. Each ladder bumper comprises a generally U-section rail channel and at least one opposing pair of rung slots in legs in the channel. Each ladder bumper further comprises a generally U-section protective pad, wherein the web portion of the U-section provides a pad web planar surface. Preferably, a pad web thickened portion on the pad web includes an angle-setting protrusion (ASP), the ASP including an ASP planar surface, wherein the ASP planar surface and the pad web planar surface subtend a predetermined ASP angle. The protective pad is received over and affixed snugly to the rail channel. In use, the rail channel of each of a pair of ladder bumpers is received over a corresponding one of the ladder rails and the rung slots are received over selected ladder rungs. The ladder bumpers may then be locked in position with U-bolt locks.
Ladder Stabilizer
A ladder stabilizer removably mounts to one of the two spaced rails of a conventional ladder, and a mirror image stabilizer preferably mounts to the other rail. The stabilizer is of unitary construction, preferably injection molded from thermoplastic material, and includes a longitudinal member with an open channel along one longitudinal surface, the channel bounded by opposing longitudinal flanges. The member is sized and shaped and of sufficient flexibility to removably mount to the rail at any desired vertical position, and is relatively non-slidable with respect thereto once mounted. An opposite longitudinal surface of the member includes a plurality of step-like serrations. With one stabilizer mounted to each of the two ladder rails, and the ladder leaned against a structure for conventional use, the step-like serrations reduce the risk of movement of the ladder relative to the structure, and therefore promote safe use of the ladder. Also, the composition of the stabilizer protects the structure from any adverse effects.
PORTABLE LADDER SECURING DEVICE
A ladder securing device configured to attach to a rung(s) of an extension ladder using a pair of clamps and including a pair of pivotal clamp arms for securing to a desired structure or surface to which the ladder is to be secured. The device includes a pulley connected to a rope, wherein the rope is eased off and pulled to pivotally move the clamp arms to secure to the structure. The clamp arms are connected to pivotal blocks and a plurality of torsional springs provide smooth and slow movement of the clamp arms. For providing additional support, a connecting rod connects the clamp arms and a fastener secures the clamp arms. The device allows a user to securely ascend and descend on the ladder without any additional support and thus prevents serious injury due to unstable ladders which ultimately can lead to falls.
Ladder securing device
Systems and methods for securing a ladder to a gutter are disclosed. An insert includes a first portion configured to fit within an opening for the gutter and a second portion configured to form a channel configured to receive a front surface of the gutter. A number of arms extend from the second portion. The arms are selectively deformable into a number of positions, and may be wrapped around side rails of the ladder.
