  • Patent number: 5988884
    Abstract: A guide rail arrangement for connecting two relatively displaceable components comprising a lower rail (1) and an upper rail (2) supported thereon by rolling elements (3), said lower and upper rails being configured as rectilinear sheet metal profiles, one of the lower and upper rails partially surrounding the other of the lower and upper rails, whereby hollow spaces are formed for receiving the rolling elements (3) and further slide elements (4) arranged between the rails is characterized in that, in a central region of the arrangement, the two rails (1, 2) define a receiving space (5) for a spring and/or damping element, which receiving space (5) is adjoined by regions comprising the rolling elements and the slide elements (4) and extending in end regions of the rails (1, 2) which results in the creation of an arrangement with uniform load distribution on its components so that a deformation of the components and a pressing-in of the rolling elements is reliably prevented.

  • Patent number: 4907673
    Abstract: A foldable ladder for use with a swim platform of a boat is disclosed. A hinged panel adapted to fit in an opening in the swim platform pivots between a closed position and an open position. An upper ladder portion, which includes handrails, is fixed to the underside of the panel and pivots with the panel. A lower ladder portion, which includes a rung, is pivotally connected to the upper ladder portion. A control link is pivotally connected at one end to the boat and at the other end to the lower ladder portion. Raising the panel automatically deploys the ladder and closing the panel automatically stows the ladder beneath the panel.
