Ladder knee rest
View Patent ↗A ladder knee rest comprising a padded frame with top and bottom lateral arms separated by a central support column. The frame can be hung in front of a ladder with a positioning strap, and the length of the positioning strap can be adjusted to move the frame vertically up or down the ladder. Securing straps extending from the lateral arms can be connected behind the ladder and tightened to prevent side-to-side movement. A user's knees can be placed between the padded top and bottom lateral arms to reduce pain and/or discomfort in the user's legs while the user works on the ladder.
1. A ladder knee rest comprising:
a first U-shaped frame having two first extension elements and a substantially straight coupling region;
a second U-shaped frame having two second extension elements and substantially straight coupling region;
a plurality of security straps coupled with distal ends of said first extension elements and said second extension elements;
wherein said substantially straight coupling regions of said first frame and said second frame are coupled side to side to form a central support column and said extension elements form top lateral arms and bottom lateral arms.
2. The ladder knee rest of claim 1 further comprising:
connectors selectively coupled with distal ends of each respective extension element and one of each of said securing straps.
3. The ladder knee rest of claim 2 wherein each of said securing straps is rotationally coupled with one distal end of a respective extension element via pivot pins on each connector.
4. The ladder knee rest of claim 3 wherein each of said securing straps comprises a strap connector at a distal end of said securing strap adapted and configured to selectively engage at least one of another strap connector behind the rear plane of the ladder.
5. The ladder knee rest of claim 1 further comprising:
connectors selectively coupled with distal ends of each respective extension element;
wherein each of said securing straps is fixedly coupled with at least one of said connectors.
