Ladder top tool tray mounting

Attachment and carrying means for use in conjunction with the top platform of a self standing ladder, said ladder top platform being substantially rectangular in plan, side and end views with top and bottom sides and side and end edges, comprising, in combination:

• a tool tray comprising an elongate, substantially rectangular box in top plan view, said tray having substantially parallel side walls, substantially parallel end walls and a bottom wall, said side and end walls normally extending substantially vertically when said bottom wall is placed on a substantially horizontal surface,
• said tool tray also having an axial divider formed integrally therewith, said axial divider comprising an elongate, length axial arch having two substantially vertical interior side walls and at least one top wall, the bottom wall of said tray interrupted at said axial divider along the center length of the tray with the interior side walls of the axial divider joining at their lower ends with the interior edges of the bottom wall, whereby an interior arch is formed in the tray and upwards into the bottom side thereof,
• a platform clip including an elongate, upper member of substantial T shape in vertical transverse section, said member of sufficient length to extend a distance at least somewhat greater than the width of one side wall and one adjacent axial divider interior side wall and a resilient lower clip member fixed adjacent to one end of said upper member adapted to strongly resiliently and removably engage the underside of said ladder top platform, and
• a T section passageway formed through the lower portion of each of said tray side walls and each of said axial divider interior side walls essentially centrally thereof, each adapted to receive the clip upper member therethrough,
• whereby, when the clip upper member engages at least one of the tool tray side walls and the adjacent one of the axial divider interior side walls and the clip lower member engages the underside of the ladder top platform, the tray is removably fixed on the platform top.

Attachment and carrying means for use in conjunction with the top platform of a self standing ladder, said ladder top platform being substantially rectangular in plan, side and end views with top and bottom sides and side and end edges, comprising, in combination:

• (1) a container having at least a normally horizontal bottom wall and a normally substantially vertical side wall fixed at its lower end to the periphery of the bottom wall,
• (2) a platform clip including an elongate upper member of substantial T-shape in vertical transverse section, said member of sufficient length to extend a distance at least substantially the distance between opposed, centered portions of the lower portion of said side wall of said container, and
• (3) a resilient lower clip member fixed adjacent to one end of said upper member and adapted to strongly, resiliently and removably engage the underside of the ladder top platform, and
• (4) a T-section passageway formed through the lower opposed portions of said container side wall essentially centrally thereof, such passageway adapted to receive the clip upper member therethrough,
• whereby, when the clip upper member engages the container side wall and the clip lower member engages the underside of the ladder top platform, the container is removably fixed on the platform top.
