LADDER STORING AND RELEASING ASSEMBLY

摘要

An assembly for a storing and releasing a ladder comprising an outer lock that includes outer base extending along an axis and a pole extending transversely from the outer base to a pole end for disposition in a parallel and spaced relationship to the first drop-down arm in the cradle position for preventing the rail of the ladder from falling off the outer lock. A pole anchor connects the pole to the outer base for adjustment to various adjusted positions along the axis. A latch defines a catch for engaging the outer base in the latched position to retain the outer base in the cradle position and a locking hole for receiving a secondary lock to maintain the latch in the latched position.

1. An assembly for a storing and releasing a ladder comprising;
a base frame for attachment to the top of a vehicle, a first drop-down arm slidably connected to said base frame for movement between a stored position on top of the vehicle and a release position on a side of the vehicle and extending from said base frame to a distal end, a lower bracket extending from said first drop-down arm for supporting a rail of the ladder, an outer lock rotatably connected to said first drop-down arm for movement between a cradle position in parallel and spaced relationship to said first drop-down arm for cradling the rail of the ladder against said first drop-down arm and an open position extending at a transverse angle relative to said first drop-down arm and away from the ladder.
