Abstract: A bracket is adapted for mounting on a ladder (1) as the support means for a work platform as one or more planks. The bracket comprises an arm (2) as a seat for the platform, a carrying bar (3) adapted for being suspended in one of the rungs (4) of the ladder and engaging against a rung situated lower down, and a strut (5) arranged between the carrying bar and arm to support the latter substantially horizontally oriented. The strut has a hook means (6) for optional coaction with one of a row of notches (7) along the carrying bar. The arm is joined to the carrying bar at a first joint (9) and to the strut at a second joint (11). The second joint is movable and comprises two or more non-round and preferably like holes (14) along the arm coacting with a headed stud on the strut.
