In another embodiment, the step adapter includes brace, platform and lock sections, where the platform section side edges are configured to lock the step adapter in place on a rung of a ladder. A tray overlay can be used in combination with the step adapter (which serves as support) to provide an area for holding work-related items. The step adapter can also include a securing element as an additional safety feature to anchor the adapter to a ladder.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2017Date of Patent: June 26, 2018Assignee: Willow Step, Inc.Inventors: Dennis J.
