ABSTRACT:
A support device for utilization on a ladder comprising an elongate base member having a pair of long edges, between which a mounting device is provided such that the base member can be secured to an upper part of a ladder. An elongate receptacle extends for substantially the entire length of the base member, with the ends as well as the upper portion of the receptacle being open, and with a restraint device defined in a mid portion of the receptacle. A slidable member of elongate configuration is provided, having a dimension such as to be able to reside in the elongate receptacle. The slidable member has first and second ends as well as a longitudinal centerline, with a slot extending along the centerline for a substantial portion of the length of the slidable member, with the slot extending relatively close to the first end of the slidable member. A component support device is provided on the second end. The slidable member is insertable over the restraint device, with the restraint device extending into the slot. The slidable member is able to be slid out of either end of the elongate receptacle, with the engagement of the restraint device with the slot preventing the slidable member from coming entirely out of the receptacle. Advantageously, the slidable member is pivotally rotatable about the restraint device, so as to be usable by either a right-handed or a left-handed worker.
