Ladder attachment kit

A ladder attachment kit which is capable of being assembled onto the upper end of a ladder having spaced apart right and left side rails, and which attachment kit will give a user relatively easy access to most roofs when assembled onto the ladder;

• the ladder attachment kit comprising the following:
• at least four clamp assemblies adapted to be secured to spaced apart locations on the side rails;
• and
• right and left support assemblies, each including a support having a
• first generally straight section having first and second portions, the first portion being of a length sufficient so that the first portion may be safely secured to an upper end of a side rail of the ladder by at least two of said spaced apart clamp assemblies, the second portion of the first generally straight section being so dimensioned as to extend beyond the upper end of the ladder a sufficient distance to provide the user access to most roofs when the first portion is secured to a side rail,
• an end section disposed at an acute angle to the first section, the end section extending downwardly when the ladder is in its normal operational position, and
• a generally straight intermediate section interconnecting the first generally straight section with the end section,
• a pad, and
• a fastener for pivotally securing the pad to the end section of the support;
• the elements being so arranged and constructed that when the kit is properly assembled onto the upper end of the ladder, the ladder may be positioned with the pads on the surface of the roof and the ladder spaced away from any gutters by a distance of about 2-3 inches.
