Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a safety apparatus for a ladder. Specifically, a safety apparatus for a ladder according to an embodiment of the present disclosure protects safety of a user who uses a ladder, and the safety apparatus includes a guard member provided to be mounted on the ladder and extending in one direction, and a plurality of fixing members connected to the guard member, disposed to be spaced apart from one another in a longitudinal direction of the guard member, and configured to fix the guard member to the ladder, in which the guard member has at least a part configured to protrude toward a rear side of the ladder and cover a rear surface of the ladder.

Claims (32)

1 . A safety apparatus for a ladder, which protects safety of a user who uses a ladder, the safety apparatus comprising:

a guard member provided to be mounted on the ladder and extending in one direction (+z-axis direction); and

at least one fixing member provided on the guard member and configured to fix the guard member to the ladder;

wherein the guard member has at least a part configured to protrude toward a rear side of the ladder and to cover a rear surface of the ladder;

wherein the guard member comprises a connection part connected to the fixing member, and a cover part provided on at least one end of the connection part, the cover part having a rigidity reinforcing panel;

wherein the rigidity reinforcing panel is disposed on at least a part of the cover part and is configured to protrude toward the rear side of the ladder;

wherein the fixing member comprises a first fixing body provided on one surface of the connection part, the first fixing body being configured to surround at least a part of a peripheral surface of a horizontal support of the ladder; and

wherein the fixing member comprises a second fixing body provided on one surface of the connection part, the second fixing body being configured to surround a remaining part of the peripheral surface of the horizontal support of the ladder and to selectively engage with the first fixing body.

2 . The safety apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the fixing member is provided as a plurality of fixing members, and the plurality of fixing members is disposed in a width direction (+x-axis direction) of the guard member.

3 . The safety apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the cover part has a folding line extending in an other direction (+x-axis direction) perpendicular to the one direction (+z-axis direction), and the rigidity reinforcing panel is disposed at a lower side of the cover part defined by the folding line.

4 . The safety apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the cover part is configured to be selectively unfolded with respect to the folding line.

5 . The safety apparatus of claim 3 , wherein the cover part comprises:

a first cover body disposed at any one of one side and the other side of the folding line; and

a second cover body disposed at the other of one side and the other side of the folding line and having a length equal to a length of the first cover body.

6 . The safety apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the first cover body and the second cover body have the same shape.

7 . The safety apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the connection part is provided as a plurality of connection parts, the cover part is provided as a plurality of cover parts, and the plurality of the connection parts and the plurality of the cover parts are alternately disposed.

8 . The safety apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the connection part and the cover part are integrated.

9 . The safety apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the fixing member is provided on one surface of the connection part and surrounds at least a part of a peripheral surface of a horizontal support of the ladder.

10 . The safety apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the fixing member has a hook shape.

11 . The safety apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

an auxiliary fixing body provided on one surface of the connection part, spaced apart from the fixing member, and configured to surround a horizontal support of the ladder.

12 . The safety apparatus of claim 1 , further comprising:

a reinforcing member provided on at least one end of the guard member and having a hook shape so as to be caught by the ladder.

13 . A safety apparatus for a ladder, which protects safety of a user who uses a ladder, the safety apparatus comprising:

a guard member provided to be mounted on the ladder and extending in one direction (+z-axis direction); and

at least one fixing member provided on the guard member and configured to fix the guard member to the ladder;

wherein the guard member has at least a part configured to protrude toward a rear side of the ladder and to cover a rear surface of the ladder;

wherein the guard member comprises a connection part connected to the fixing member, and a cover part provided on at least one end of the connection part, the cover part having a rigidity reinforcing panel;

wherein the rigidity reinforcing panel is disposed on at least a part of the cover part and is configured to protrude toward the rear side of the ladder;

wherein the cover part has a folding line extending in an other direction (+x-axis direction) perpendicular to the one direction (+z-axis direction), and the rigidity reinforcing panel is disposed at a lower side of the cover part defined by the folding line; and

wherein the cover part comprises a first cover body disposed at any one of one side and the other side of the folding line, and a second cover body disposed at the other of one side and the other side of the folding line and having a length equal to a length of the first cover body.

14 . The safety apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the first cover body and the second cover body have the same shape.
