Patent ID: 7222696

Claim:
A pair of independently adjustable ladder extensions for leveling a ladder on a ground surface with the ladder having opposed side rails and each side rail having a channel, a plurality of through holes and a plurality of rungs interconnecting the side rails, each ladder extension, comprising: a support leg disposed within the channel of the respective side rail for slidable adjustable movement therein, and the movement of one support leg being independent of the slidable movement of the other support leg; locking means for locking the support leg in position after slidable adjustment within the respective channel and for releasing the support leg so that the support leg can be readjusted and repositioned within the respective channel of the side rail; the locking means including a locking pin for insertion into and through the side rail and the support leg for locking the support leg in position and for removal therefrom so that the support leg can be readjusted and repositioned; the locking pin including a shaft and a bendable flap member attached to the shaft and which is pressed against the shaft for facilitating the insertion and removal of the locking pin; and whereupon after the support leg is adjusted and positioned within the channel of the side rail the flap member is pressed against the shaft to allow for the insertion of the locking pin into and through the side rail and support leg and then the flap member is bent away from the shaft for preventing the withdrawal of the locking pin from the support leg and side rail resulting in the support leg being locked in position to the side rail.
