| 20100155176 | LADDER SAFETY SEAT - This is a safety rest seat for permanent attachment to a lengthy ladder. A plurality of these safety seats is installed at different intervals on the ladder to provide resting areas for the climber, as needed, as he or she climbs upward or downward. The seat in an active seating position rests upon horizontal, permanently secured seat supports. Once the climber lifts out of his or her seated position on the seat, the safety seat portion will automatically rotate upwardly into an inactive, out of the way position so that it does not obstruct the climbing path. A counterweight is located at a rear section of the seat which automatically causes the seat to rotate upwardly to an inactive position when no downward pressure (or a seated user) is no longer exerted upon the seat. | 06-24-2010 |
