Benefits of technology

This patented technology relates to a device used to keep two lanes on different levels or terrains together when they're moved around without damaging them themselves. It includes clips attached between supports along both ends of the same type of material called an upper sectional barrel (or tube). These clips have teeth like pliers shape that fit tightly onto either end of these materials, allowing the devices to hold their own weight even if there were any cracks in those materials caused by vibrations or impact forces. They also allow for easy removal and replacement of worn parts due to wear over time.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed by this patented method relates how to keep laddings secure when being sent between different locations or even after delivery without causing damage.

Embodiment Construction

[0011] Referring now to the drawings wherein like reference numerals refer to similar or identical parts throughout the several views, and more specifically to FIGS. 3 and 5 thereof, there is shown a clip 1 for maintaining a first side rail 3 of a first ladder 15 adjacent to a second side rail 17 of a second ladder 16 which is in series with the first side rail 3. The clip 1 comprises a first portion 20 connected to a support element 10 and a second portion 21 connected to the support element 10. The first portion 20, second portion 21 and support element 10 are one continuous piece. The first portion 20 defines a hooking engagement with the first side rail 3 and the second portion 21 defines a receiving engagement with the second side rail 17. The first and second portion 21 opening from opposite sides of the support element 10, respectively, which conform to the portion of the respective side rail that it receives for removably and frictionally holding the respective side rails in a

Abstract

A clip for maintaining a first side rail of a first ladder adjacent to a second side rail of a second ladder which is in series with the first side rail. The clip includes a first portion connected to a support element and a second portion connected to the support element. The first portion, second portion and support element are one continuous piece. The first portion defines a hooking engagement with the first side rail and the second portion defines a receiving engagement with the second side rail. The first and second portion opening from opposite sides of the support element, respectively, which conform to the portion of the respective side rail that it receives for removably and frictionally holding the respective side rails in a self-gripping and form-fitting manner such that the side rails are maintained adjacent and in series to each other so that no damage is possible to the ladders by relative movement of the side rails under dynamic conditions brought about by motion during transportation. A method for securely transporting a first ladder which defines a first plane for climbing and at least a second ladder which defines a second plane for climbing.
