<p>A ladder support for the upper end of a ladder which incorporates a supporting frame member having three sides, and two free ends, the two free ends being attachable to a portion of the ladder, a tray within the frame member, and having through bolt means at the free ends of the frame member for passing around a portion of the ladder whereby the two free ends of the supporting frame may be securely bolted to the ladder while permitting a floating action. Supporting leg means extends from the frame at an angle to connect with another portion of the ladder. The invention provides, by use of the through bolt fastening, a degree of flexibility in the attachment of the frame and tray to the ladder which permits a desirable floating action so that the frame may conform to, for example, an irregular or angled surface while providing secure support for the top of the ladder. An alternate form of the invention is applicable to step ladders, the through bolt fastening means on the frame member securing the frame member around the upper end of the ladder.</p> |
