David Enloe - Web page: https://patentgrep.com/patent/US20190169932A1 ## CPC - E06C 7/00: Component parts, supporting parts, or accessories - E06C 7/16: Platforms on, or for use on, ladders, e.g. liftable or lowerable platforms (aspects relating to the lifting B66F) - E06C: LADDERS (E04F11/00 takes precedence; step-stools A47C12/00; adaptation of ladders to use on ships B63B, to use on aircraft B64; scaffolding E04G) ## Abstract A ladder knee rest comprising a padded frame with top and bottom lateral arms separated by a central support column. The frame can be hung in front of a ladder with a positioning strap, and the length of the positioning strap can be adjusted to move the frame vertically up or down the ladder. Securing straps extending from the lateral arms can be connected behind the ladder and tightened to prevent side-to-side movement. A user's knees can be placed between the padded top and bottom lateral arms to reduce pain and/or discomfort in the user's legs while the user works on the ladder. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A ladder knee rest comprising: a first frame; a second frame coupled with said first frame; and a plurality of securing straps coupled with said first frame and said second frame; wherein said plurality of securing straps are adapted and configured to temporarily secure said first frame and said second frame relative to ladder. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The ladder knee rest of claim 1 wherein: said first frame is substantially U-shaped and has at least two lateral arms; and said second frame is substantially U-shaped and has at least two lateral arms. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The ladder knee rest of claim 2 wherein: said first frame has a substantially straight region at a base of said first U-shaped frame; and said second frame has a substantially straight region at a base of said second U-shaped frame. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The ladder knee rest of claim 3 wherein: said substantially straight region of said first U-shaped frame is coupled with said substantially straight region of said second U-shaped frame. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The ladder knee rest of claim 4 wherein: said plurality of securing straps are coupled with said first frame and said second frame at the distal ends of each of said lateral arms. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The ladder knee rest of claim 5 wherein: said plurality of securing straps are coupled with each of said lateral arms via connectors. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The ladder knee rest of claim 6 wherein: said connectors are selectively couplable with each of said lateral arms. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The ladder knee rest of claim 7 wherein: each of said securing straps comprise strap connectors at distal ends of each of said securing straps. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The ladder knee rest of claim 8 wherein: each of said strap connectors is adapted and configured to connect with at least one of another strap connector and a portion of a ladder. ### Claim 10 (depends on 2) The ladder knee rest of claim 2 wherein: said plurality of securing straps are coupled with each of said lateral arms via connectors. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The ladder knee rest of claim 10 wherein: said connectors are selectively couplable with each of said lateral arms. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The ladder knee rest of claim 11 wherein: each of said securing straps comprise strap connectors at distal ends of each of said securing straps. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The ladder knee rest of claim 12 wherein: each of said strap connectors is adapted and configured to connect with at least one of another strap connector and a portion of a ladder. ### Claim 14 A ladder knee rest comprising: a first U-shaped frame having two first extension elements and a substantially straight coupling region; a second U-shaped frame having two second extension elements and substantially straight coupling region; a plurality of security straps coupled with distal ends of said first extension elements and said second extension elements; wherein said substantially straight coupling regions of said first frame and said second frame are coupled. ### Claim 15 (depends on 14) The ladder knee rest of claim 14 further comprising: connectors selectively coupled with distal ends of each of said two first extension elements, distal ends of each of said two second extension elements and one of each of said securing straps. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The ladder knee rest of claim 15 wherein each of said connectors is rotationally coupled with one distal end of said first extension elements and said second extension elements. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The ladder knee rest of claim 16 wherein each of said securing straps comprises a strap connector at a distal end of said securing strap adapted and configured to selectively engage at least one of an other strap connector and a component of a ladder. ### Claim 18 (depends on 14) The ladder knee rest of claim 14 further comprising: connectors selectively coupled with distal ends of each of said two first extension elements and distal ends of each of said two second extension elements; wherein each of said securing straps is fixedly coupled with at least one of said connectors. ### Claim 19 (depends on 18) The ladder knee rest of claim 18 wherein each of said connectors is rotationally coupled with one distal end of said first extension elements and said second extension elements.
