  • Folding step stool
    Patent number: 12232622
    Abstract: A folding step stool includes a stool surface and a support structure for supporting the stool surface. The support structure is a foldable structure and comprises at least three support shafts. The stool surface is hinged to a rear side of a connecting line of tops of two adjacent support shafts. After being folded, the support structure is located on one side of a plane formed by the two support shafts hinged to the stool surface. After being turned, the stool surface is located on the other side of the plane formed by the two support shafts to which the stool surface is hinged, and the two support shafts are able to abut against the two support shafts to which the stool surface is hinged. The invention solves the problem that step stools in the prior art still have a large size after being folded.

  • Portable steps
    Patent number: 8037649
    Abstract: A step assembly that is specifically adapted to assist pets in reaching and/or descending from elevated surfaces is provided. The step assembly has two sidewalls having a plurality of openings in which pegs formed on the sides of individual treads and risers are engaged. The pegs are removably insertable into the openings and include protrusions which create an interference fit upon insertion. Because the treads, risers and side walls are joined by interlocking pegs and openings, the step assembly can be flat packed for shipping, and is easily assembled and disassembled for transportation and/or cleaning.
