ABSTRACT:
A ladder top safety device for a ladder, as embodied by the invention, is applied to a ladder that comprises side rails and a plurality of rungs interconnecting the side rails. The safety device comprises a plurality of side safety supports that are stored in their stored position in one rung of the plurality of rungs at an upper portion of a ladder. The side safety supports are extendible from the one rung to a stabilizing extended position in which the side safety stabilizers are in contact with a vertical supporting surface when a ladder is placed against a wall supporting surface, such as a wall. Thus, the ladder top stabilizer device provides lateral stabilizing support for the ladder.
