Abstract
The instant invention is a ladder accessory in the form of a toolbox. The toolbox is coupled to support brackets mounted on each front leg of a conventional ladder. The toolbox includes a handle that allows for securing to the brackets when the cover is opened by forcing pinions located in the bottom of the box through pinion apertures located on each support bracket. The support bracket allows lifting of the toolbox so as to provide a safe working area for a worker on top of the ladder allowing ease of access to the necessary tools in order to accomplish a particular task. Bracket release levers are provided on each support bracket to allow lifting of the toolbox in a convenient manner.
