(57) The present invention provides a device adapted to be mounted upon the rungs 3 of
a ladder-like member 1 and 2, which device comprises a generally rectangular and planar
load-bearing member 10 having, preferably at or adjacent one edge thereof, means 12
for engaging a rung 3 of the ladder-like member 1 and 2 and for locating the planar
member 10 on the ladder-like member 1 and 2 so that it can be pivotted about the rung
3 on which it is located, the planar member 10 also being provided with a stay 20
adapted to engage with another rung 3 of the ladder-like member 1 and 2 and to retain
the planar member 10 extended from the plane of the ladder-like member 1 and 2 and
thus form a platform for a user of the ladder-like member I and 2 characterised in
that the stay 20 comprises a pair of arms 21 pivotably mounted on the planar member
10 at or adjacent the edge opposed to the rung engaging means 12, each arm 21 carrying
means 25 for engaging a rung 3 of the ladder-like member 1 and 2, the arms 21 being
spaced apart by a distance not significantly less than the lateral width of the planar
member 10, whereby the arms 21 can be disengaged from the rung 3 to permit the planar
member 10 and the arms 21 to lie substantially parallel to the plane of the ladder-like
member 1 and 2 with the arms 21 lying to either side of a planar member 10 mounted
on a lower rung 3 of the ladder-like member 1 and 2.
