  • Patent number: 5141076
    Abstract: A device to be used on the legs of standard wooden folding stepladders to insure the stability of said ladders while being used on weak, non-compacted or slippery areas, into which a stepladder might tend to sink, or across which a stepladder might tend to slide.Said device consists of a semi-rigid pad that when attached to the bottom of any or all of the legs of any standard wooden folding stepladder will then increase the stepladder leg footprint area resulting in more stability of said stepladder. In addition, the high friction material of which the stepladder foot pad may be constructed will tend to prevent the stepladder legs from slipping across slippery surfaces.
