Abstract

See full text

A shoulder pad or shoulder cushion that can be affixed to the outside face of any ladder rail, regardless of shape, size, length, or material. One face of the pad is made to allow for easy and quick permanent attachment to the rail by way of self-adhesive, double-stick tape or other adhesive that enables the installer to simply and quickly affix the pad to the ladder in a matter of just a few seconds. The same side is hollowed out, or routed out, to allow ladder rung protrusions, rivets, or rung attachment plates to remain recessed inside the shoulder pad without interference to the adhesive edges of the pad. The hollow may be formed by the protrusion pushing into a thin layer of soft material of lower resilience than an adhered thicker layer.
