Abstract:
A tool carrier for use with a ladder, the carrier comprising: a platform; a coupling mechanism adapted to connect said platform to a rail of said ladder; said coupling mechanism including a locking mechanism having a body with an interior and adapted to continuously engage the rail when placed in the interior to secure said carrier in a selected longitudinal axial position along said rail; the locking mechanism having a member biased towards a locked position and connected to the body, the locking mechanism for retaining the platform in the selected axial position once placed thereto; and the biased member displaceable to provide unobstructed relative longitudinal axial displacement of the platform along said rail in a first direction, and lockable to inhibit said relative longitudinal axial displacement along said rail in a second direction opposite to said first direction to retain the platform in said selected axial position;wherein said coupling mechanism is adapted to remain in engagement with said rail during the relative axial displacement between said platform and said rail.
