A non invasive hand attachable utility bracket system having two u-bolts and four matching hex or wing nuts for use with ladders having a pair of vertical legs connected by rungs that are sequentially distanced about 12 inches, center-point to center-point, wherein the utility bracket system is comprised of both a primary and secondary bracket, where in the primary bracket comprises:
- a) an L-shaped bracket formed from steel or plastic that is about 1.5 inches in width and about 0.375 inches in depth;
- wherein the L-shaped bracket has an elongated member with an outside dimension of at least 14.375 inches and a short side with an inside dimension of at least 1 inch;
- b) four centrally aligned apertures through the elongated member of the L-shaped bracket with a diameter sufficient to receive said u-bolts, each of said u-bolts having a pole diameter of about 0.375 inches;
- wherein a first of said apertures is set not less than 2 inches, center-point to center-point, from a second of said apertures, and about 12 inches, center-point to center-point, from a third of said apertures, and wherein the second of said apertures is set about 12 inches from a fourth of said apertures, center-point to center-point, and the fourth of said apertures is set not less than 2 inches from the third of said apertures center-point to center-point;
- c) each of said u-bolts having a distance between poles of not less than 2 inches, center-point to center-point, and adapted to engage respective sequential ladder rungs, and aligned so as to pass easily through respective apertures in the elongated member of the L-shaped bracket and securely bolt the two sequential ladder rungs to the L-shaped bracket with the four hex or wing nuts;
- wherein the secondary bracket comprises:
- a bracket having two legs that are perpendicular to one another with a vertical first leg having an inside dimension of about 2 inches and a horizontal second leg having an inside dimension of at least 2 inches, the vertical leg of the secondary bracket being attached to an inner side of the elongated member of the L-shaped bracket between the second and third of said apertures.
