Roofing ladder with a modular angularly adjustable platform

摘要

A roofing ladder with a modular angularly adjustable platform facilitates roofing work by providing a platform assembly which can be adjusted angularly to provide a desired slope for sitting or standing on or for storing tools or supplies. A beam provides structural support. A roof anchor hook connected to the beam contacts the opposing roofing surface to hold the ladder in place. A wheel assembly allows a user to easily mount the ladder on a roof. A plurality of step rods laterally connected to the beam provides steps for climbing the ladder as well as attachment locations for the platform assembly. A plurality of beam lifters provides a means to lift the beam off the roof surface for performing work on the roof surface underneath the beam. An extension slot allows the ladder to be extended for longer roofs or more easily manipulated into place using an extension pole.

主权项

1. A roofing ladder with a modular angularly adjustable platform comprises:
a beam comprising a plurality of step rods, a plurality of pin holes, and a central axis; a roof anchor hook; a wheel assembly; a platform assembly; a plurality of beam lifters; the plurality of step rods being connected to the beam; the plurality of step rods being spaced apart from each other along the beam; a first step rod from the plurality of step rods and a last step rod from the plurality of step rods being positioned opposite each other along the beam; the plurality of beam pin holes being spaced apart from each other along the beam; the wheel assembly being rotatably connected to the beam adjacent to the last step rod; the platform assembly being removably attached to one of the plurality of step rods; the roof anchor hook being connected to the beam adjacent to the wheel assembly; the wheel assembly comprises a sleeve, a frame, and a plurality of wheels; the beam further comprises a wheel assembly attachment portion; the wheel assembly attachment portion being cylindrical; the wheel assembly attachment portion being positioned between the last step rod and the roof anchor hook; the sleeve encircling the wheel assembly attachment portion, wherein the sleeve is able to rotate about the wheel assembly attachment portion; the frame being connected to the sleeve; and the plurality of wheels being rotatably connected to the frame opposite the sleeve, wherein the frame separates the plurality of wheels from the sleeve.
