Abstract
This invention pertains to a protector ladder support used in pairs and removably mountable on stiles of a ladder. These protectors have non-slip resilient face portions adapted to engage the means against which the ladder is leaned. These supports have formed slots sized and shaped to receive and retain the rungs of a ladder. These supports have retaining members so that the protectors may be mounted and retained in a selected position. Conventionally, each protector is of sheet metal and the slots are usually at about thirty degrees and have a selected retaining means adapted to engage a rung of a ladder to retain the protector on the ladder stile. In one embodiment a pin or rod is disposed to engage a rung. In yet another embodiment a pivoted hook is disposed to engage a rung of a ladder and in yet a third embodiment a pivoted tab having a sloped engaging edge is adapted to be swung into a retaining condition and position.
