Abstract: Vorrichtung zum Geländeausgleich für Leitern und Gerüstständer, die nur ein minimales Eingreifen des Benutzers erfordert. Es genügt ein langsames Absetzen der senkrecht gehaltenen Leiter. 
Wesentlicher Bestandteil der Vorrichtung ist eine zwischen den Halmen (1,2) unter der untersten Sprosse seitlich verschiebbar angebrachte Traverse (3), an der zwei Standbeine (6,7), schwenkbar befestigt sind. Jedes dieser Standbeine ist in die Richtung eines Halms geschwenkt und wird dort mit einer Beinführung (8,9) unter dem jeweiligen Holm durchgeführt oder an ihm vorbei geführt. Die Beinführungen halten die Standbeine so, dass noch eine Schwenkbewegung und eine Bewegung entlang ihrer Längsachse möglich ist. 
Durch Verschieben der Traverse wird die Steilheit der Standbeine unterschiedlich verändert. Dies bewirkt den Ausgleichseffekt. Die Anordnung kann so gestaltet werden, dass sich die Traverse selbstständig verschiebt, solange beim Absetzen nur ein Standbein den Boden berührt. Sobald beide Standbeine den Boden berühren und die Leiter belastet wird, ist ein sicherer Stand gewährleistet.
