Abstract:
A ladder stabilizer comprises a pair of stabilizer brackets attached to the ladder side rails at the bottom on either side. Each bracket has a C-shaped clamping mechanism that utilizes a toothed gear rack which engages/disengages with mating teeth of a corresponding gear rack on the ladder rail. The gear-like engagement of the teeth provides a positive locking of the attachment member to the ladder. A spring and locking screw allow ease of adjustment and a positive lock at the desired location along the ladder side rail. The rack is attached longitudinally along the length of each rail to provide a range of length adjustment to the feet. This permits one side to be longer than the other to accommodate a laterally sloping terrain. The brackets have rotatable, laterally extending A-frames with ground-engaging feet which self-adjust to a terrain which is sloping from front-to-back or vice versa.

Claim (Index 20):
The device of  claim 17  further including a spring on each bracket located between the front runner and the front of the side rail to bias the mechanical engagement features on the rear runner of each bracket toward engagement.
