Step ladder with adjustable tray

A ladder comprising:

• a first pair of spaced apart rails comprising a pair of front surfaces;
• at least one rung extending between and coupled with the first pair of spaced apart rails;
• a top cap coupled with the first pair of spaced apart rails;
• a second pair of spaced apart rails comprising a pair of rear surfaces;
• a pair of hinges coupling the first pair of spaced apart rails with the second pair of spaced apart rails;
• a tray hingedly directly coupled with the top cap and rotatable about a fixed axis between a deployed position and a stored position, wherein when the tray is in the stored position:
• the tray extends downward from the top cap toward the pair of hinges,
• a bottom surface of the tray is parallel to, and adjacent to, rear surfaces of the first pair of spaced apart rails, and
• the tray lies within a volumetric envelope defined by the pair of front surfaces and by the pair of rear surfaces.

A ladder comprising:

• a first pair of spaced apart rails;
• at least one rung extending between and coupled with the first pair of spaced apart rails;
• a top cap coupled with the first pair of spaced apart rails and including at least one notch;
• a second pair of spaced apart rails;
• a pair of hinges coupling the first pair of spaced apart rails with the second pair of spaced apart rails;
• a tray hingedly coupled with the top cap and selectively positioned between a deployed position and a stored position, wherein when the tray is in the stored position, the tray extends downward from the top cap toward the pair of hinges;
• and
• at least one adjustment mechanism directly coupled with a lateral side of the tray and configured to selectively lock the tray in the deployed position and in the stored position, the at least one adjustment mechanism comprising a locking key and an actuator lever attached to the tray, the actuator lever being rotatable between a first position extending at an angle extending at least partially away from the tray and a second position aligned with the tray, the locking key including at least one tooth configured to selectively engage the at least one notch.
