Abstract:
A ladder system is cooperable with a surface such as a recreational vehicle rear wall or the like and includes a wall mount securable to the surface, a ladder with a plurality of rungs, a securing bracket connected to one of the plurality of rungs. The wall mount includes a flat back section engageable with the surface, an engagement portion connected to the flat back section, and first and second openings between the engagement portion and the flat back section, where the first and second openings are spaced from each other. The securing bracket of the ladder system includes a pair of grips that are sized to fit over the engagement portion of the wall mount in the first and second openings.
Abstract:
A ladder is provided having a securing apparatus for securing the ladder to a horizontally extending support structure (e.g., a utility cable), a vertically extending support structure (e.g., a utility pole) or both. In accordance with one embodiment, the securing apparatus includes a pair of spaced apart engagement mechanisms, wherein each engagement mechanism is pivotally coupled with an associated rail of the ladder. Each engagement mechanism includes a frame member, an engagement member pivotally coupled with the frame member and a pole grasping structure coupled with the frame member. In one embodiment, each engagement member is configured to rotate from a first position, wherein an open gate is formed between the engagement member and its associated frame member, to a closed position.
Abstract:
The present invention provides an adjustable ladder and scaffolding system wherein a scaffolding structure provides a support to which is attached a frame. The frame includes a pair of ladder clamps that enable the frame to be connected to the spaced apart risers of a ladder that is to be supported. The frame includes left and right plates and a base opposite the ladder clamps. Adjustable connections are provided between the left and right plates and the base so that the distance between the base and the clamps can be varied, thus enabling the ladder to assume a diagonally extending orientation relative to horizontal. The frame is adjustable so that each frame attached to the ladder shortens the distance between the ladder and the scaffolding structure as the elevation is increased.

Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Steighilfe (1) mit einer Trittstufe (2) und einer die Trittstufe (2) tragenden Trägerstruktur (4), welche eine quer zur Trittstufe (2) vorliegende Längserstreckung aufweist. Die Steighilfe (1) umfasst eine Hakenstruktur (5), um die Steighilfe (1) an einer oberen Berandung (110) eines Drittgegenstandes (100) einzuhängen. Die Steighilfe (1) umfasst ferner eine Fixierstruktur (6), welche in Richtung der Längserstreckung der Trägerstruktur (4) beabstandet zu der Hakenstruktur (5) vorliegt und eingerichtet ist, in einer Fixierposition (F) die Steighilfe (1) gegen eine untere Berandung (120) des Drittgegenstandes (100) zu fixieren. Weiterhin umfasst die Steighilfe (1) eine Längsverstellung (7), welche eingerichtet ist, die Längserstreckung der Trägerstruktur (4) zu verstellen, um bei eingehängter Hakenstruktur (5) an der oberen Berandung (110) des Drittgegenstandes (100) die Fixierstruktur (6) in die Fixierposition (F) an der unteren Berandung (120) des Drittgegenstandes (100) zu bringen. Die Erfindung betrifft ferner einen Adapter (50; 60) für eine Hakenstruktur (5) oder eine Fixierstruktur (6) einer Steighilfe (1). Weiterhin betrifft die Erfindung ein System mit einem Drittgegenstand (100) und einer Steighilfe (1). Darüber hinaus umfasst die Erfindung eine Verwendung einer Steighilfe (1) sowie ein Verfahren zur Herstellung einer Steighilfe (1).
Abstract:
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Leitersystem für den Grabenverbau umfassend eine untere Leiter (14), die sich vom Boden eines Grabens aus über einen unteren Teilabschnitt (T1) der Höhe des Grabens erstreckt und eine obere Leiter (16), die sich über einen oberen Teilabschnitt (T2) der Höhe des Grabens bis zu einem Grabenrand erstreckt, wobei die obere Leiter (16) eine Einhängeleiter zum Einhängen an eine Verbauplatte (12) ist. Mit einem erfindungsgemäßen Leitersystem soll die Sicherheit der Arbeiter insbesondere für tiefe Gräben erhöht werden. Bei einem erfindungsgemäßen Leitersystem ist an dem unteren Ende der oberen Leiter (16) eine Plattform (22) angeordnet ist und dass die untere Leiter (14) eine auf dem Boden des Grabens aufstehende Stehleiter oder Anlegeleiter ist.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an arrangement (1 ) for easy installing and stably supporting a ladder (2) in a passageway or manhole (7), such that damage to the wall (4) of the passageway due to for example penetration of fastening means is minimized. The invention provides an arrangement for supporting a ladder (2) comprising positioning brackets (5, 105) for positioning the lower part of the ladder at a distance from the inside wall (4), which positioning brackets are secured against the surface of the inner wall by a resilient elongated member (6). By bending this elongated member (6) in a ring shape and positioning this member inside the passageway (7), it exerts a radially directed force and thus clamps itself in position against the wall (4). Because the elongated member (6) clamps itself in a fixed position, the elongated member dos not need to be secured to the wall (4) by for example bolts. Thus the wall (4) maintains its structural integrity.
Abstract:
A configurable step assistant is provided that includes a first portion configured to be attached to a structure, a second portion pivotally connected to the first portion, the second portion being moveable between a first position and a second position with respect to the first portion, a third portion pivotally connected to the second portion, the third portion being moveable between a first position and a second position with respect to the second portion, wherein, when the second portion is in the second position and the third portion is in the second position, the second portion defines a step for accommodating a user. An associated method is also provided.
