Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates generally to a ladder-mounted equipment holding assembly and method for operating a ladder-mounted equipment holding assembly. More so, the holding assembly detachably couples to a ladder to hold various types of equipment related to operations performed on the ladder. A ladder includes two parallel legs perpendicularly traversed by rungs that are fitted into spaced-apart holes forming along the length of the legs. The holding assembly includes a mount sleeve that fits into at least one of the sidewall holes, a pair of caps defined by pin holes and detachably coupled to the ends of the mount sleeve, a clip that engages with teeth or a locking pin that is registerable within a selected pin hole to secure the caps into the ends of the mount sleeve, and multiple interchangeable equipment anchoring accessories attachable to the ends of the mount sleeve and/or the caps, and configured to hold the equipment at the legs of the ladder.

BACKGROUND

The following background information may present examples of specific aspects of the prior art (e.g., without limitation, approaches, facts, or common wisdom) that, while expected to be helpful to further educate the reader as to additional aspects of the prior art, is not to be construed as limiting the present invention, or any embodiments thereof, to anything stated or implied therein or inferred thereupon.

Typically, ladders require a user to carry items up and down a ladder while climbing up and down the ladder. This process of carrying may require multiple trips up and back down the ladder for certain tasks and projects. Contractors and home owners are just a couple of the types of people who experience this issue. This is also a safety hazard as well and contributes to falls and injuries from using a ladder.

The present ladder-mounted equipment holding assembly attaches to the ladder rungs and allows a user to keep all necessary items attached to the ladder itself so that he doesn't have to go all the way back down the ladder to grab something. The ladder-mounted equipment holding assembly also allows a user to have his hands free while working, rather than having to hold the items at the top of the ladder or middle of the ladder with nowhere to safely store the items. The ladder-mounted equipment holding assembly is also adjustable so that it can attach securely to a ladder of any width.

Other proposals have involved equipment and tool holders directly on a ladder. The problem with these holding equipment and tools is that they do not accommodate eclectic types of equipment and tools, having different styles, shapes, and sizes. Also, the equipment is not held along the legs of the ladder for easy access. Even though the above cited equipment and tool holders directly on a ladder meet some of the needs of the market, a ladder-mounted equipment holding assembly that detachably couples to a ladder to hold eclectic types of equipment related to operations performed on the ladder, is still desired.

Referring now to the drawings, FIGS. 1-2 illustrate a ladder-mounted equipment holding assembly 100 and method 1300 of operation. The ladder-mounted equipment holding assembly 100, hereafter “assembly 100” provides an elongated mount sleeve 102 that is configured to slidably fit through the holes in the sides of a ladder 110, and slide into a corresponding rung in the ladder 110. A pair of caps 106a serve to centrally fasten the mount sleeve 102 to the rung via a clip mechanism. In a variant, the clip mechanism comprises a clip and a track. The caps 106a have biased levers 206a, 206b, for example, alligator clips that have rectangular teeth, that align with corresponding teeth on tracks 202a, 202b formed in the mount sleeve 102. The clips 206a, 206b couples the caps 106a, 106b to free ends 104a-b of the mount sleeve 102 end. Furthermore, multiple interchangeable equipment anchoring accessories 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200 detachably attach to the free ends 104a-b of the mount sleeve 102 when a cap 106a or 106b (or both) is attached. The anchoring accessories comprise various shapes and dimensions, such as threaded pipes, hooks, rings, and clips. The anchoring accessories serve to hold equipment and tools in an accessible position for a user working on the ladder 110. For example, the equipment may include a paint bucket, a paint brush, a roller, and other tools pertinent to operations on ladder 110.

The assembly 100 is operable with a ladder 110 to hold equipment that is commonly used by ladder operators, in a proximal, accessible position at any of the rungs 118a-h along the ladder 110. In one non-limiting embodiment, the ladder 110 comprises an upper region 112 and a lower region 114. The ladder 110 includes two parallel legs 116a, 116b defined by spaced-apart holes form along the length of the legs 116a, 116b. Multiple rungs 118a-h are aligned with the spaced-apart holes formed in the legs 116a-b. The rungs 118a-h are disposed in a perpendicular arrangement relative to the legs 116a, 116b. The assembly holds equipment near the ends of the rungs, along the legs 116a-b of the ladder 110.

As referenced in FIG. 2, the assembly 100 provides at least one mount sleeve 102 that detachably joins with the ladder 110, and specifically one of the rungs 118a-h of the ladder 110. The mount sleeve 102 can join with any one of the rungs 118b that traverse the legs 116a-b. The mount sleeve 102 has a flat side and a curved side to match the cross section of the ladder rung. By allowing the mount sleeve 102 to selectively join with any of the rungs 118a-h, the equipment can be selectively accessed from multiple heights along the ladder 110.

In some embodiments, the mount sleeve 102 is defined by a channel 200 that slides into the rungs 118a-h. In one possible embodiment, the channel 200 is threaded from either free end 104a, 104b of the mount sleeve 102. In one non-limiting embodiment, the threaded channel 200 may include a male thread that rotatably couples with a female thread of an equipment anchoring accessory, as described below.

The mount sleeve 102 also includes a pair of free ends 104a-b, extending out from the ends of the corresponding rungs 118a-h. Thus, the mount sleeve is dimensioned longer than the width of the ladder. The other components of the assembly 100 attach to the free ends 104a-b of the mount sleeve 102. In one non-limiting embodiment, the mount sleeve 102 is elongated, and has a cylindrical, or a half cylinder shape. Suitable materials for the mount sleeve 102 may include, without limitation, a rigid plastic, polyurethane, polyethylene, polyvinyl chloride, aluminum, wood, and rubber.

Furthermore, as FIG. 2 illustrates, tracks 202a, 202b are formed near ends of the sleeve 102 where caps 106a, 106b can clip onto. Caps 106a, 106b have pin passageways 217 that are sized and dimensioned to enable passage of a locking pin 108a-b, as described below. In one non-limiting embodiment, a right free end 104b of the mount sleeve 102 has a track 202a-n than a left free end 104a of the mount sleeve 102. The length of tracks 202a-b near the ends 104a-b of the sleeve 202 allows the caps 106a-b to slide as needed, to length-adjust for various width ladders.

Referring to FIG. 3, the assembly 100 provides a pair of caps 106a, 106b that detachably fit at the free ends 104a-b of the mount sleeve 102. The caps 106a are configured to cover the free ends 104a-b of the mount sleeve 102, which extend past ends of the rungs 118a-h. In one embodiment, the caps 106a comprise an open end and an opposing closed or sealed or covered end. A cavity 204a-b is formed between the ends of the cap 106a-b to enable entry of the free ends 104a-b of the mount sleeve 102. Receiving the free ends 104a-b of the mount sleeve 102, the cavity 204a-b is sized to slidably receive the free ends 104a-b, fitting the cap to the free ends 104a-b of the mount sleeve 102.

Referring to FIG. 18, which illustrates a cross section view, the caps have a hole 109 that allows the clip 206a-b to penetrate through the cap into the cavity 204a-b. When a cap 206a-b receives the mount sleeve 102, the track on the sleeve ratchets along the cap, engaging the clip via track teeth 205 until the desired position is reached. In one non-limiting embodiment, the caps 106a are defined by a half cylinder shape to match the shape of the sleeve and ladder rung. Other cross section shapes are suitable.

FIGS. 4-5 illustrate, the assembly 100 with caps inserted onto the sleep and also caps disengaged from the sleeve. The assembly 100 utilizes a clip and track that works to fasten the caps 106a to the free ends 104a-b of the mount sleeve 102. Once a cap is inserted onto the sleeve, it may be released by pressing on the lever arm of the clip to disengage the clip from the track.

As discussed above, the assembly 100 is unique in that equipment, related to operations on a ladder 110, are detachably attachable along the length of the ladder 110.
