    摘要: A cabinet mounted step stool can be collapsed to a narrow horizontal profile for storage without compromising usefulness of the cabinet. The step stool is supported on support channels fastened to two side walls of the cabinet. A pair of fixed track channels are supported on the support channels with the fixed track channel openings facing each other, within which two sliding track channels slide with one on the left and the other on the right. Four step support assemblies, each of which comprises a step support with one end pivotally attached to a roller and the other end pivotally attached to a foot. Two rollers slide within the left and other two rollers slide within the right sliding track channel. Two steps are supported on four corners by the four step support assemblies. When extended, the step stool provides two steps with approximately 13½″ rise in height.

    摘要: A ladder with independently collapsible ladder portions, includes a first ladder portion and a second ladder portion attached to the first ladder portion and rotatable away from the first ladder portion. The first ladder portion and second ladder portion each have multiple ladder portion segments situated one adjacent another, each ladder portion segment, in an extended position, having a top surface higher than a top surface of its adjacent segment and a bottom surface lower than the top surface of its adjacent segment. The ladder is configured to be usable as a ladder in a stable manner in a first position in which both the first and second ladder portions are extended and in a second position in which one of the first and second ladder portions is extended and another of the first and second ladder portions is at least partially retracted, the first and second positions being stable.

    摘要: A step unit including a vertical frame and a plurality of linkages pivotally attached at different heights to the vertical frame by one end of each of the linkages, to provide lateral rotation to the linkages. A leg frame, with at least one leg, is pivotally attached to the opposite end of each linkage whereby laterally translating the leg frame simultaneously pivots the linkages from a first, vertical position to at least one second, horizontal position.

    摘要: An automated step includes a carriage moveable between a retracted position and a deployed position; a jack disposed on the carriage; a platform disposed on the jack; rotatable legs coupled to the platform and rotatable between a stowed position and an extended position; and a controller coupled to the carriage, the jack, and the legs. The controller, when activated to deploy the automated step, directs the carriage to extend, directs the jack to raise the platform, and directs the legs to rotate to the extended position and, when activated to retract the automated step, directs the legs to rotate to the stowed position, directs the jack to lower the platform, and directs the carriage to retract. The jack and legs both support the platform when a user stands on the automated step.
