German term or phrase: Auflage
It relates to a ladder (Anlegeleiter). The context is "Anlegeleiter aus zwei Holmen (3, 4) und zwischen den Holmen (3, 4) vorgesehenen Sprossen (5), wobei die Holme (3, 4) um eine obere Anlenkachse (12) zwischen einer abgeschwenkten Gebrauchslage und einer durch eine Auflage vorgegebenen Ruhelage schwenkverstellbar gelagert sind."
Could anybody tell me what "durch eine Auflage vorgegebenen Ruhelage" means?

rest or support
Explanation:
This Westinghouse outdoor ladder rest features a black finish on steel. The ladder rest with brass colored polycarbonate spherettes on each end provides a traditional style and is ideal for hanging plants. Steel construction gives the ladder rest superior durability. The ladder rest is 1-3/8 in. x 15-3/4 in. (H x W). Use as a quality solution for replacing a worn or broken ladder rest or when creating a new custom post-top lantern. This Westinghouse ladder rest is UL listed for safety. It is backed by a 5-year manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship

Question 5: Are rest platforms required (under the current OSHA standards) on tower ladders, 30 or more feet in length, that are equipped with safety cages?
Response: Yes. The current OSHA standard at §1910.27(d)(2) establishes a maximum limit of 30 feet between platforms; therefore, ladder distances in excess of 30 feet without an intermittent platform would not be in compliance with the standard. However, the current ANSI A14.3-2002 standard provides that landing platforms are not required on fixed ladders with cages less than 50 feet in length; for fixed ladders with cages extending a maximum unbroken length of 50 feet, landing platforms are required at 50-foot intervals.

Unfortunately I could not found a very convincing example. As both terms are very common they are used for everything.
