Abstract
A ladder is disclosed which has a lockable pivot arrangement. The lockable pivot arrangement is located and connected between two elongate ladder sections. Inside each pair of end housings there are at least two receptacles. A pivot mechanism connects between the end housings and the end housings rotate in unison and also allow the pair of end housings to rotate relative to the housing. A lock mechanism within the housing has at least two lock members each with an actuator and each actuator having a free end. There is an elastomeric bias element acting to bias the two lock members and respective free ends and actuators away from each other, and the two actuators when biased apart are positioned so as to allow for one-handed actuation against the bias to unlock the rotation of the housing.
