  • Patent number: 4696373
    Abstract: A two-position ladder platform designed for operation by a single climber so as to provide the climber with a broad foot support in its erected position and to retract to a recessed position to avoid impairing the climber. The device includes a platform section, preferably rectangular in shape, with platform hooks pivotally mounted along adjacent corners of the platform section. Leg sections extend away from other adjacent corners of the platform and terminate in a forked end. In the erected position the platform hooks engage a first ladder rung with the platform extending outward therefrom while the forked ends engage a ladder rung below the platform. The platform is capable of being inward over the first rung into a recessed position which avoids it becoming an obstruction to the user when climbing the ladder. The platform can be easily kicked back into the erected position to provide the climber with support after he climbs passed it.
