Abstract
The present device includes a plurality of shim-like members which are fastened at one end through a stud, or an elongated bolt, or a riveted assembly to a baseboard and are free to rotate about the stud, bolt or rivet. The shim-like members can be moved into and out of a stacked arrangement with other shim-like members which in effect raises or lowers the top of the stack. A stack of said shim-like members can be located under one of the legs of a ladder (or both legs, if two stacks are used) in order to enable the rungs of a ladder to be level with respect to the ground or some other base.
Claims5
A device for leveling a ladder which has at least first and second legs and which has the lower end of said first leg located a certain distance above the base upon which said second leg is resting, said device formed to be inserted under said first leg to simulate a base located at the same height as the base upon which said second leg is resting comprising in combination:
- a plurality of shim-like members, each of which has an aperture formed therein;
- intercoupling means formed to be disposed into said apertures to couple said shim-like members into a stack to be inserted under said first leg;
- said intercoupling means and said apertures further formed and disposed so that said shim-like members can be rotated off said stack to be inserted under said first leg whereby the height of said stack can decreased or increased for approximate said certain distance.
