<p>A stepladder (10) is provided with a bracing shelf (16) that acts both as a conventional pivoting shelf and a bracing mechanism preventing accidental closing of the stepladder when the shelf is in a bracing position. The shelf (16) includes abutting members (60) adapted to contact a step (28) of the stepladder (10), and, optionally, a mechanism (35) to lock the shelf (16) in the bracing position. <IMAGE></p> |
