Abstract
A ladder support apparatus provides support and stability to a ladder. The ladder support apparatus includes a bracket, a friction-reducing segment, and a friction-inducing segment. The bracket is configured to be secured to a leg of the ladder. The friction-inducing segment is secured to the bracket and configured to interface with an underlying surface when the ladder support apparatus is in a default orientation relative to the underlying surface. The friction-reducing segment is secured to the bracket and configured to interface with the underlying surface when the ladder support apparatus is in an angled orientation relative to the underlying surface.

A ladder support apparatus for providing support and stability to a ladder, said ladder support apparatus comprising:
- a bracket configured to be secured to a leg of the ladder;
- a friction-reducing segment secured to the bracket;
- a friction-inducing segment secured to the bracket,
- wherein the friction-inducing segment is configured to interface with an underlying surface when the ladder support apparatus is in a default orientation relative to the underlying surface,
- wherein the friction-reducing segment is configured to interface with the underlying surface when the ladder support apparatus is in an angled orientation relative to the underlying surface.
A ladder support apparatus for providing support and stability to a ladder, said ladder support apparatus comprising:
- a bracket configured to be secured to a leg of the ladder,
- said bracket including
- a lateral support plate configured to receive a foot of the leg of the ladder thereon;
- a first sidewall extending downward from the lateral support plate;
- a second sidewall extending downward from the lateral support plate;
- a friction-reducing segment secured to the bracket;
- a friction-inducing segment secured to the bracket,
- wherein the friction-inducing segment is configured to interface with an underlying surface when the ladder support apparatus is in a default orientation relative to the underlying surface,
- wherein the friction-reducing segment is configured to interface with the underlying surface when the ladder support apparatus is in an angled orientation relative to the underlying surface.
A ladder support system for providing support and stability to a ladder, wherein the ladder includes a set of primary legs and a set of support legs, said ladder support system comprising:
- a first ladder support apparatus having a first orientation configured to be secured to a first support leg of the set of support legs of the ladder;
- and
- a second ladder support apparatus having a second orientation configured to be secured to a second support leg of the set of support legs of the ladder,
- wherein the first orientation is mirrored relative to the second orientation,
- said first ladder support apparatus and said second ladder support apparatus each including:
- a bracket configured to be secured to the respective support leg of the ladder;
- a friction-reducing segment secured to the bracket;
- a friction-inducing segment secured to the bracket,
- wherein the friction-inducing segment is configured to interface with an underlying surface when the ladder support apparatus is in a default orientation relative to the underlying surface,
- wherein the friction-reducing segment is configured to interface with the underlying surface when the ladder support apparatus is in an angled orientation relative to the underlying surface.
