<p>Stabilizer apparatus for attachment to an extension ladder (10) for inhibiting sideways tipping and downward/rearward slipping thereof. Attached to the opposed side rails (16, 18) of the ladder (10) proximate the upper end of the lowermost section are hinge blocks (20) for pivotally joining a pair of tubular, telescoping, extensible legs (32, 34) to the ladder (10). The hinge brackets (20) are specially designed to permit the tubular legs (32, 34) to be swung parallel to and directly adjacent with the ladder's side rails (16, 18) when the ladder is to be stowed and which the legs (32, 34) to be rotated laterally outward and forward of the base of the ladder during use. An articulated brace (53, 60) extends between the pair of legs (32, 34) and their associated ladder side rails (16, 18) to limit the extent to which the legs (32, 34) may be splayed relative to the ladder.</p> |
