Die beiden Leiterteile können getrennt verwendet werden oder zu einer doppelseitigen Leiter zusammengesetzt werden, wobei die Leiterteile sich gegenseitig stützen. Solche Steigleitern werden heute überwiegend aus Aluminium gefertigt. Bei der Fertigung entstehen an den genannten Ausnehmungen der Leiterholme Grate oder scharfe Kanten. Wird der die Ausnehmungen aufweisende Leiterteil allein benutzt, so umschließen die Finger der die Leiter besteigenden Person in der Regel die Leiterholme. Dabei kann diese Person sich leicht an den Graten oder scharfen Kanten der Ausnehmungen verletzen.Such ladders are generally known. The two ladder parts can be used separately or put together to form a double-sided ladder with the ladder parts supporting each other. Such ladders will be today mainly made of aluminum. During production, the mentioned recesses of the ladder stiles burrs or sharp edges. Will the used the recessed conductor part alone, so enclose the fingers the person climbing the ladder is usually the ladder stile. This can Person easily get on the ridges or sharp edges of the recesses hurt.

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht daher darin, den Benutzer einer Steigleiter der eingangs genannten Art vor den geschilderten Verletzungen zu schützen. The object of the invention is therefore the user of a vertical ladder Protect the type mentioned above from the injuries described.

Wenn der die Ausnehmungen aufweisende Leiterteil allein benutzt wird, decken die Kappen die Ausnehmungen ab. Die Finger des Benutzers umgreifen nun die zweckmäßigerweise mit abgerundeten Kanten versehene Kappe und können nicht mehr verletzt werden. Zur Aufnahme der Stützmittel des anderen Leiterteils in den Ausnehmungen werden die Kappen entfernt, wobei diese aber am Leiterteil gehalten werden, so daß sie nicht verlorengehen können.If the ladder part having the recesses is used alone, the cover Cut the recesses. The user's fingers now grasp the expediently provided with rounded edges and can not get hurt more. To accommodate the support means of the other conductor part in the The caps are removed from recesses, but these are on the ladder part be held so that they cannot get lost.

Vorteilhaft ist es, die Kappen in den Ausnehmungen im Preßsitz anzuordnen und sie mit einem an der Leiter befestigbaren Band zu versehen, an dem sie beim Herausnehmen aus den Ausnehmungen an der Leiter hängenbleiben.It is advantageous to arrange the caps in the recesses in the press fit and to provide them with a tape that can be attached to the ladder Take out of the recesses on the ladder.

Um die Handhabung der Kappen zu verbessern, ist gemäß einer weiteren Ausbildung der Erfindung vorgesehen, die Kappen an den Leiterholmen verschiebbar zu befestigen. Eine Ausführung kann derart ausgebildet sein, daß die Kappen an den Leiterholmen quer verschiebbar angeordnet sind, wobei die Kappen sich also in Einklinkrichtung der Stützmittel des anderen Leiterteils bewegen und beispielsweise durch Federkraft beim Ausklinken des anderen Leiterteils in die die Ausnehmungen abdeckende Lage zurückgebracht werden.To improve the handling of the caps, according to another Training of the invention provided the caps on the ladder stiles slidably fasten. An embodiment can be designed such that the Caps are arranged on the ladder bars so that they can be moved transversely, the caps thus move in the latching direction of the support means of the other conductor part and for example by spring force when the other conductor part is notched into the Position covering recesses are brought back.

Gemäß einer weiteren Ausbildung der Erfindung wird aber eine Ausführung bevorzugt, bei der die Kappe an den Leiterholmen längsverschiebbar angeordnet sind. Die Schwerkraft der Kappe kann dann dafür ausgenutzt werden, die Kappe in die Abdecklage zu bringen.According to a further embodiment of the invention, however, an embodiment preferred, in which the cap is arranged to be longitudinally displaceable on the ladder stiles are. The cap's gravity can then be exploited to bring in the cover layer.

Der Leiterholm 1 ist mit einer Ausnehmung 4 versehen, deren längliche nach innen zu sich verjüngende Form aus Fig. 2 zu erkennen ist. Die Ausnehmung 4 dient zur Aufnahme von nicht dargestellten Stützmitteln des anderen Leiterteils einer doppelseitigen Steigleiter. Diese Stützmittel können eine runde Stange, die am Ende des anderen Leiterteils zwischen deren Holme befestigt ist, oder runde, an den Holmenden des anderen Leiterteils befestigte Achsstümpfe sein. Nach dem Einführen solcher Stützmittel in die Ausnehmung 4 wird der andere Leiterteil am Leiterholm 1 in nicht dargestellter Weise gesichert.In Fig. 1 is the upper part of a ladder stile 1 with a ladder rung part 2nd and a rubber cap 3 arranged on the upper conductor end in plan view shown. The other ladder stile of the ladder is not shown and trained accordingly. The ladder bar 1 is provided with a recess 4, whose elongate shape tapering inwards can be seen from FIG. 2. The recess 4 serves to receive support means, not shown other part of the ladder double sided ladder. These proppants can be a round rod that is attached to the End of the other part of the ladder is attached between their bars, or round be stub axles attached to the spar ends of the other ladder part. After this Introducing such support means into the recess 4, the other conductor part on Ladder bar 1 secured in a manner not shown.
