Abstract: A folding bed is formed from a frame having side rails and end rails connected to the side rails, a hinge on each of the side rails such that the frame is configured to be folded in half with the end rails facing each other and a platform mounted to the end rails and side rails via springs. Legs are connected to the side rails and fold between an open position where in the legs extend perpendicular to the frame and a closed position wherein the legs extend parallel to the frame. A headboard is connected to one of the end rails. There is at least one support element connected to the end rails or side rails and underneath the platform. A locking mechanism is connected to each one of the legs to keep the legs in the open position so that bed does not inadvertently collapse when in use.

Abstract: An improved tit of a step pad for a step of a step ladder and being of the type having resiliency, a base coincident with a bottom surface of the step pad, a tip, and a pinched waist disposed between the base thereof and the tip thereof and being captured in an associated through bore in the step. The improvement includes the tip of each tit having a dimple extending axially therein to facilitate compression of the tip during insertion into the associated through bore in the step.
