ABSTRACT:
A bracket is attachable to a ladder to form a convenience support or other attachment that attaches to the rails or rungs of a ladder, and is readily reconfigured, moved or adjusted as to angular orientation, without substantial assembly steps or tools. The bracket has at least two and preferably three mounting members, each folded at a right angle to define two flat plates, e.g., with one of the plates longer than the other. Each plate has a least one array of spaced openings for fasteners. The fasteners and some of the openings are dimensioned so that the fastener heads or nuts fit through such openings of the plates and the shanks of the fasteners engage in a slot, which can require turning non-round fastener heads for alignment with the slot before insertion, and turning the non-round heads of the fastener back after insertion, or alternatively passing the head through a larger hole joined to the slot. The mounting members are attached in a chosen configuration by affixing the fastener in the first mounting member and attaching the second mounting member to the first mounting member by passing the hole of the second mounting member over the end part of the fastener and sliding the mounting members to arrange the shank in the slot of the second mounting member such that the plates interlock and engage around rails or rungs of the ladder, additional array openings are then chosen to receive fasteners for locking the orientation of the bracket.
