摘要： A folding step for cabinet doors has a step member hingedly connected at its lower end to a cabinet door, such as a sink cabinet, and a support leg member which is hinged at its upper end to the underside of the free end of the step member. A magnet strike plate is mounted on the cabinet door and a magnet is mounted at the top end of the step member. Alternatively, hook and loop type fastener elements may be used in place of the magnet and strike plate wherein one element is secured to the door and the mating element secured to the step member. A pull knob is mounted on the outer surface of the support leg. In a stored position, the step member is held in a vertical position against the cabinet door by the magnet engaged on the magnet strike plate or the hook and loop fastener elements and the support leg is parallel to the step member. When the user pulls on the pull knob, the step and support leg members pivot outward from the cabinet door and fold down. In the down or extended position, the step member and support leg members are perpendicular to one another. The folding step is particularly useful for small children in allowing them to reach a sink or counter top.
