Abstract:
A ladder attachment that can be removably secured to a ladder leg to provide leveling comprising:a base unit having: a channel formed by a web and corresponding sidewalls substantially perpendicular to the web, the sidewalls sufficiently spaced apart to accommodate the ladder leg, the interior surface of each sidewall having sloping splices formed thereon; a generally rectangular clamping member having: sloping splices formed on first and second side surfaces of the clamping member, the sloping splices on the clamping member dimensioned and arranged so as to slidably engage with the sloping splices on the sidewalls; and a bore adjustably and securely retaining a support rod therein; said sloping splices on the clamping member and the sloping splices on the sidewalls are arranged such that, during use, the clamping member is biased towards said channel to clamp the ladder leg; and wherein said ladder attachment enables leveling of said ladder by selective engagement of said sloping splices of said clamping member with said channel sidewalls at a specific point on said ladder leg.
