Abstract
A hook support device having a longitudinal plate with a top surface, a front side, a first end, and a second end opposite the first end. The first end has a first hook, the second end has a second hook, and the front side has a third hook. The top surface of the longitudinal plate is constructed to contact an outer surface of a side rail of a ladder. The first hook and second hook are mounted on the outer surface of the side rail. The third hook is constructed to simultaneously i) contact a front surface of the side rail, ii) hook the hook support device to the front surface and outer surface, and iii) prevent the hook support device from sliding down the side rail. The hooks do not interfere with the use of the steps or rungs of the ladder.

A hook support device, comprising
- a) a longitudinal plate having a top surface, a bottom surface, a front side, a rear side, a first end, and a second end opposite the first end;
- b) the first end having a first hook, the second end having a second hook, and the front side of the longitudinal plate having a third hook;
- and
- c) the top surface of the longitudinal plate being constructed to contact an outer surface of a side rail of a ladder and the third hook being constructed to simultaneously i) contact a front surface of the side rail, ii) hook the hook support device to an outer surface of the side rail and to a front surface of the side rail, and iii) prevent the hook support device from sliding down the side rail.
