Abstract:
A ladder stabilizer, comprising:a substantially planar rigid frame having two legs depending in spaced apart relation, the frame having a first end and a second end, with remote ends of the two legs defining the second end; a pivot bar; pivot bar retention brackets adapted to receive the pivot bar secured in spaced relation to the frame adjacent to the first end, the pivot bar retention bracket allowing the frame to pivot freely on the pivot bar; means for securing the pivot bar to a selected rung of a ladder; a line extending from each of the remote ends of the legs, the line being securable to the ladder, thereby limiting pivotal movement of the frame about the pivot bar away from the ladder; and a pivotal stop extending outwardly from the first end of the frame adjacent to the pivot bar and adapted to engage the ladder upon pivotal movement of the frame away from the ladder, thereby limiting pivotal movement of the frame about the pivot bar should the line break.
