Attachable ladder stability device
View Patent ↗An attachable ladder stability device having a first arm assembly, a first foot assembly, a second arm assembly, and a second foot assembly, which can mount onto a ladder assembly to stabilize the ladder assembly. The invention includes a tether assembly, a first telescopic assembly, and a second telescopic assembly. The ladder assembly has ladder rungs (that are hollow) and direct rung-to-rail connections at respective ends of the ladder rungs. The first arm assembly and second arm assembly insert into the ladder rungs. The invention interfaces with a roof having an upper surface and a side wall. The first and second foot assemblies pivot on the first and second arm assemblies, respectively, to interface with angles defined by the roof surface. If the roof assembly includes a gutter base and a gutter front wall, the first and second telescopic assemblies extend downward to the gutter front wall and gutter base.
