  • Patent number: 7225492
    Abstract: A collapsible ramp (100) comprising a collapsible deck (102) and a collapsible support structure (104). The deck (102) is composed of plural transverse panels (106, 110, 112, 114, 116) selectively joinable by tongue and groove connections (120, 122) and permanently interconnected by filament connecting means or hinges which allow the deck (102) to be rolled or folded. The support structure (104) includes foldable longitudinal members (126) which are interconnected by collapsible brace arms (142) and have foldable legs (148, 150) provided with feet (160) including screw threaded ground engaging members (168, 186). Protrusions (124) on the panels engage recesses (146) in the longitudinal members (126). The lowermost panel (106) includes a tapered distal edge (108) for facilitating ramp entry and the upper panel (116) has a rounded upper distal edge (118) for safety reasons.
