  • Compact folding slide-out ramp assembly
    Patent number: 8505141
    Abstract: A ramp assembly includes a ramp platform movable for reciprocating motion between a stowed position and a deployed position. The ramp platform has an inner ramp panel, an intermediate ramp panel slidably associated with the inner ramp panel, and an outer ramp panel rotatably associated with the intermediate ramp panel. Movement of the ramp assembly from the stowed position to the deployed position defines a deployment motion that includes (1) rotation of the outer ramp panel through at least 90 degrees relative to the intermediate ramp panel; and (2) translation of the intermediate ramp panel relative to the inner ramp panel. A drive assembly is associated with the ramp platform, the drive assembly being movable to reciprocate the ramp platform between the stowed position and the deployed position.

  • Compact folding slide-out ramp assembly
    Patent number: 8359691
    Abstract: A ramp assembly includes but is not limited to a frame, a ramp platform functionally associated with the frame, a stow/deploy mechanism for deploying and stowing the ramp platform, and a drive assembly operatively connected to the stow/deploy mechanism for conditionally actuating the stow/deploy mechanism, which in turn, articulates the ramp platform between the stowed and deployed positions.
