  • Patent number: 10501991
    Abstract: An assembly adapted to being affixed to an elevated location in order to provide a ladder support surface. The assembly includes an anchoring base subassembly, an elongated arm extending from the subassembly and a head mounted to an end of the arm and including an elongated crosswise member adapted to support an upper location of a ladder. Additional features include at least one pivot axis established between the base subassembly and the arm and at least one additional pivot axis between the arm and the head. The base subassembly further includes a fixed mounting portion and a pivotally adjusted outer portion. The fixed mounting portion further includes a wall mount plate from which extends a pair of radial support plates, between which is received a pivotally supporting location of the outer portion to define a first of the at least one pivot axis.

  • Patent number: 9234389
    Abstract: A ladder rest and restraining device is provided for the edge of a roof or other elevated structure which is regularly or periodically accessed by means of an extension ladder or other similar device. The device may be permanently or removably mounted on the edge of the roof or structure where the ladder is normally positioned, to limit movement of the ladder horizontally, sideways, as well as vertically downward. The device includes an elongated primary support, a pair of legs extending from spaced apart locations of the primary support, the legs terminating in mounting feet. A plurality of restraining members extend from additional spaced apart locations of the primary support. The mounting feet are adapted to engage any of horizontal, vertical or angled surfaces associated with the elevated structure, such that a first sub-plurality of the restraining members are adapted to abut an underside of a selected rung to prevent downward movement of the ladder.
