  • Patent number: 11759006
    Abstract: A modular desktop organizer and system including a rectangular base with a tall superstructure and shallow side trays. The superstructure includes a U-slot for holding an upright smartphone with an inductive charger, and a deep cup for holding pens, scissors, and accessories. The base includes a channel-shaped tablet holder at the back. The base is electrically powered and includes USB ports. The modular components have a self-centering bias by way of a bottom bulge with a rounded periphery that nests within the top of another modular component having a complementary rounded lip. The modular components can be stacked to two, three or more levels high in an aligned and neat fashion due to the self-centering bias.

  • Patent number: 8657070
    Abstract: A ladder step attachment made of a single, unitary piece of extruded aluminum having no moving parts. The attachment has a horizontal standing surface improved with a gripping surface, the standing surface having two notches for engaging the rails of a ladder and extending partially between the ladder rails. A lip connected to the standing surface presents a resilient member to abut the back side of the rung. A substantially tube-shaped support has a tube wall. One part of the tube wall shares a portion of the standing surface and another part of the tube wall engages the ladder's rails. A bend at the top of the rail engaging tube wall separates that portion of the tube wall from a substantially vertical portion of tube wall above the bend to facilitate removal.

  • Publication number: 20070240935
    Abstract: A device for mounting on a ladder to provide additional foot support comprising a horizontal plate-like member, a lip member projecting perpendicularly downwards from a first end of the rectangular plate-like member and a tubular member having a horizontal surface, a first substantially vertical surface, a second substantially vertical surface opposite to the first vertical surface, and an inclined surface. A second end of the rectangular plate-like member is attached to the trapezoidal tubular such that the rectangular plate-like member is parallel to and is in same plane as that of the horizontal surface.
