Ladder grip

Abstract

A safety device system is installed on top of a ladder that is mounted on a top of the roof of an upstanding structure and somewhat inwardly from an edge of the roof. The safety device includes a U-shaped frame being fastened with each leg to each of the rails of the ladder. The height of U-shaped frame can be adjusted by way of telescoping sleeves. The U-shaped frame with each of its legs is frictionally mounted to each rail so that the U-shaped frame can be adjusted into different positions relative to the roof. The upstanding structure can be an RV or camping vehicle having the roof.

1 . A safety device system installed on top of a ladder, said safety device is to be used by a person using said ladder, said top of the ladder being installed on a roof of an upstanding structure and a location somewhat inwardly from an edge of said roof, said safety device comprising a u-shaped frame, each leg of said u-shaped frame being mounted to each rail of the ladder on top of said roof, means for creating a friction between each leg of said u-shaped frame and each rail of said ladder, said u-shaped frame remains movable against said friction.  
     
     
         2 . The safety device system of  claim 1 , wherein said means for creating friction includes a clamping connection on each rail of said ladder and a clamping screw passing through each leg of said U-shaped frame and said clamping connection.  
     
     
         3 . The safety device system of  claim 1  including means for adjusting the height of said U-shaped frame relative to a top of said ladder.  
     
     
         4 . The safety device system of  claim 3 , wherein said means for adjusting the height of said U-shaped frame includes a telescoping sleeve each fastened to said means for creating friction, each leg of said U-shaped frame being received within each of said telescoping sleeves.  
     
     
         5 . The safety device system of  claim 4 , including a screw passing through each of said telescoping sleeves to arrest said U-shaped frame at a predetermined height.
