Patent number: 10711519Abstract: A brace locking mechanism locks the foldable braces of a folding ladder in the open position. The brace locking mechanism is used with a ladder that has a stepped unit and a support unit foldably attached to the stepped unit with a foldable brace extending between the stepped unit and the support unit. The brace locking mechanism comprises a lock block that is movable between a locked position in which the lock block prevents the foldable braces from moving out of their open position when the ladder is open, and an unlocked position in which the ladder may be folded into the storage position.Type: GrantFiled: August 20, 2018Date of Patent: July 14, 2020Assignee: Blue Moon Designs, LLCInventor: Dale Martin Neubauer

Patent number: 4119175Abstract: A folding step ladder has a pair of front legs with a pair of back legs pivoted thereon, below which are upper and lower steps pivotably secured to the front pair of legs. A pair of spaced apart links are pivotably secured to the upper step at points rearwardly of its pivotal connections to the front legs and the other end of each link is pivotably connected to the rear legs at points below the upper step. The link members each have an abutment at this point which forms a stop for the ladder on unfolding. This is arranged through the action of a pair of arms, the upper ends of which are pivotably connected to the upper step rearwardly of the pivotal link connection thereto; the lower ends of the arms are pivotably secured to the rearward portion of the lower step. Each arm extends downwardly between an individual link and its adjacent rear leg but forwardly of the abutment to engage thereon when the ladder is unfolded.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 1975Date of Patent: October 10, 1978Inventor: John Alfred Herwynen

Patent number: 3999629Abstract: A foldable step stool comprises a pair of rectangular frame members, one disposed within the other and having pivotally connected side rails thus permitting the members to assume an open position, in which the side rails intersect in an "X"-configuration, and a closed position in which the inner frame is contained entirely within the outer frame. Two steps extend between the side rails of the frame members, the ends of one step being pivotally secured to the side rails of the inner frame member and having a pin-and-slot connections to the side rails of the outer frame member. The second step is similarly arranged with the pivotal and pin-and-slot connections reversed with respect to the inner and outer frame members. When in the closed position, the steps lie completely within the three dimensions of the outer frame member.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 1975Date of Patent: December 28, 1976Assignee: Marlene Designs, Inc.Inventors: Irving Schaffer, Elliott J.
