Abstract

A ladder stability enhancing assembly includes a sleeve with an outer wall having an upper end and a lower end. The lower end is open and is configured to receive a top end of a ladder side rail. A coupler is mounted to the sleeve and is configured to releasable engage a ladder rung. A stabilizer is attached to the sleeve. The stabilizer is positionable on a roof to stabilize a ladder engaged with the sleeve. The stabilizer extends upwardly and forwardly of the sleeve.

Claims (24)

1. A ladder stabilization assembly configured to releasably engage a ladder and be abutted against a roof, the assembly comprising:

a sleeve including an outer wall having an upper end and a lower end, the lower end being open and being configured to receive a top end of a ladder side rail;

a coupler being mounted to the sleeve, the coupler being configured to releasable engage a ladder rung;

a stabilizer being attached to the sleeve, the stabilizer being positionable on a roof to stabilize a ladder engaged with the sleeve, the stabilizer extending upwardly and forwardly of the sleeve, wherein the stabilizer includes

a vertical post extending upwardly from the sleeve, the vertical post having an apex,

an arm being attached to the apex and extending forward and upwardly from the vertical post, the arm having a distal end with respect to the vertical post, and

a leg being attached to the arm and extending forward and downwardly from the distal end, the leg having a free end; and

a catch being attached to the stabilizer and being configured to engage a gutter positioned on the roof, the catch being positioned on the vertical post.

2. The ladder stabilization assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the coupler is positioned nearer to the upper end than the lower end.

3. The ladder stabilization assembly according to claim 2 , wherein the coupler comprises a hook having an attached end being rotatably coupled to the sleeve.

4. The ladder stabilization assembly according to claim 1 , wherein the stabilizer is positioned on the sleeve opposite of the coupler.

5. The ladder stabilization assembly according to claim 1 , wherein said stabilizer further includes a brace being attached to and extending between the leg and the vertical post.

6. The ladder stabilization assembly according to claim 5 , further including a foot being attached to the stabilizer and being configured to enhance friction between the stabilizer and the roof, the foot being pivotally coupled to the free end of the leg.

7. The ladder stabilization assembly according to claim 1 , further including a foot being attached to the stabilizer and being configured to enhance friction between the foot and the roof.

8. A ladder stabilization assembly configured to releasably engage a ladder and be abutted against a roof, the assembly comprising:

a sleeve including an outer wall having an upper end and a lower end, the lower end being open and being configured to receive a top end of a ladder side rail;

a coupler being mounted to the sleeve, the coupler being configured to releasable engage a ladder rung, the coupler being positioned nearer to the upper end than the lower end, the coupler comprising a hook having an attached end being rotatably coupled to the sleeve;

a stabilizer being attached to the sleeve, the stabilizer being positionable on a roof to stabilize a ladder engaged with the sleeve, the stabilizer extending upwardly and forwardly of the sleeve, the stabilizer being positioned on the sleeve opposite of the coupler, the stabilizer including:

a vertical post extending upwardly from the sleeve, the vertical post having an apex;

an arm being attached to the apex and extending forward and upwardly from the vertical post, the arm having a distal end with respect to the vertical post;

a leg being attached to the arm and extending forward and downwardly from the distal end, the leg having a free end;

a brace being attached to and extending between the leg and the vertical post;

a foot being attached to the stabilizer and being configured to enhance friction between the stabilizer and the roof, the foot being pivotally coupled to the free end of the leg; and

a catch being attached to the stabilizer and being configured to engage a gutter positioned on the roof, the catch being positioned on the vertical post, the catch being positioned distal to the apex of the vertical post.
