Ladder attachment

A ladder attachment comprising a rigid rectangular frame having a pair of spaced, parallel side frame members and a pair of transversely extending end frame members connected to said side frame members at the ends thereof, a first bolt assembly extending transversely through the side frame members substantially intermediate the ends thereof and through the side rails of a ladder at one end thereof, whereby the rectangular frame is freely pivoted to the end of the ladder, a pair of links, a second bolt assembly extending transversely through one end of each link and the side rails of the ladder to thereby pivotally connect the links to said ladder side rails, a plurality of longitudinally spaced apertures provided in each of said links, an aperture provided in each of said side frame members of said rectangular frame adapted to be aligned with a respective selected aperture in said links, a third bolt assembly insertable through a selected aperture in the links and through an aligned aperture in the side frame members of said rectangular frame to thereby hold the frame member at an angular position relative to the ladder, said angular position being changeable by merely removing said third bolt assembly from a selected aperture in said links and inserting said third bolt assembly through another selected aperture in said links and through said aligned apertures in said side frame members, whereby the rectangular frame cooperates with the ladder to form a hook portion adapted to extend over the ridge of a pitched roof while the ladder is supported at an inclined position on the roof.
