Ladder slide bracket

摘要

A bracket for attachment to a ladder which includes a channel for engaging the vertical side rail of the ladder, the bracket having a base plate, means associated with the base plate for adjusting the width of the channel to conform to the width of the side rail; and a gripping mechanism associated with the base plate and which is movable between a first configuration wherein the bracket is frictionally engaged with the side rail and a second position releasing the side rail from frictional engagement such that the bracket can be slidably moved to a desired vertical position along the side rail.

1. A bracket for attachment to a ladder, the bracket comprising:
a base plate; a channel for engaging the vertical side rail of the ladder, the bracket having an adjustable gripping plate associated with the base plate for adjusting the width of the channel to conform to the width of the side rail; and a gripping mechanism associated with the base plate and which is movable between a first position wherein the bracket is frictionally engaged with the side rail and a second position releasing the side rail from frictional engagement such that the bracket can be slidably moved to a desired position along the side rail, wherein the gripping mechanism comprising:
at least one pad frictionally engageable with the side rail;a cylinder, a piston and a spring housed within the cylinder; anda handle, the piston being attached at a first end to the pad and at a second end to the handle,
wherein when the handle is moved the gripping mechanism is moved between the first position and the second position.
