Patent ID: 8631905

Claim:
A ladder apparatus comprising: a mounting support; a main ladder support having a proximal end and a distal end separated by a distance which defines a length of said main ladder support, the main ladder support being capable of receiving a ladder having a length and a width wherein the length of said ladder is greater than the width of said ladder such that the length of said main ladder support and the length of said ladder are substantially parallel to each other when said ladder is received by said main ladder support; and a torsion support having a proximal end and a distal end separated by a distance which defines a length of said torsion support; wherein the proximal end of the main ladder support is pivotally connected to the mounting support, the proximal end of the torsion support is pivotally connected to the mounting support and the distal end of the torsion support is pivotally connected to the main ladder support to raise the main ladder support from a home position to an extended position, wherein, when in the extended position, the main ladder support can be set to a desired angular position with respect to a substantially horizontal plane and can be set to a desired rotational position with respect to a substantially vertical axis.
