Adjustable Step for a Ladder.

Housepainting is very easily done by painters having their own scaffolds,- but a person desiring to do his own work will have only a ladder to take the place of a scaffold. To paint and stand on the rungs of a ladder all day will tire one's feet. As the Writer had to do some painting, and a ladder was the only thing obtainable to climb upon, a flat detachable step was made to put upon the rungs of the ladder to stand on the same

as a scaffold. The step can be adjusted to any part of the ladder for the painter to stand upon and paint a surface within easy reach. Two irons were bent V-shaped as illustrated, each end having a halfcircle to fit over the rungs of the ladder.
