An apparatus includes front and back legs and a top cap that is pivotally coupled to the front legs along a first lateral axis and pivotally coupled to the back legs along a second lateral axis. The top cap has a front edge, a back edge, and a top surface available for use as a seat. The first lateral axis is closer to the front edge than the second lateral axis, and the first lateral axis is spaced further from the front edge than the second lateral axis is spaced from the back edge. The apparatus further includes a stabilizer secured to the top cap between the front edge and the first lateral axis, wherein the stabilizer extends in a downward direction from the top cap for engaging a countertop and/or a recess in the countertop, such as a sink. The stabilizer optionally includes a clamp for gripping the countertop.

A step stool device is disclosed. The step stool device includes a mounted portion configured to be affixed to the inside of a cabinet door. The step stool device includes a step portion attached to the mounted portion, wherein the step portion is configured to rotate downward. The step stool device includes a support portion attached to the step portion, wherein the support portion is configured to provide support to the step portion upon contact with a fixed structure.

A collapsible maintenance cart includes a lower structure and an upper structure that are movable between a stowed configuration and a working configuration. In the working configuration, the lower structure and the upper structure together define an interior workspace, and the upper structure is movable relative to the lower structure between a raised position and a lowered position. In the stowed configuration, a height of the collapsible maintenance cart in the stowed configuration is less than a height of the collapsible maintenance cart in the lowered position of the working configuration.

It is an integrated step stool at home and office spaces. It is an autonomous model, without visible legs when unfolded. It is developed to hold up all efforts when stepping in as well as all efforts coming from its parts. Can be installed without consuming current usable space, so unnecessary use of extra space by external devices is avoided. Step up exceeds the mark of 50 centimeters and can reach even higher. It consists of a rigid structure that supports 2 steps which overlap, slide and fold through some bearings until the end of the structure, decreasing the space occupied by the invention. The invention is fixed where the user cannot see, thus giving the impression the steps hold off in the air.

It is intended to be used as a false drawer integrated in a drawer chest, screwed to the wall, which needs to have sufficient strength to hold the weight of the structure.

Can be implemented without consuming actual current usable space, so unnecessary use of extra space by external devices is avoided. Exceeds the mark of 50 centimeters and can reach even higher. The design mirrors the CE requirements.

It consists of a rigid structure that supports 3 steps which can fold and is integrated in a chest of drawers.

A drawer-integrated step stool for selective extension from a drawer includes a box that is substantially complementary to a recess of a cabinet. The box is configured to slidably couple to the cabinet, such that the box is extensible from the recess. The box has an upper face, which is open. Stairs, positioned in the box, have a bottom that is pivotally coupled to opposing sides of the box proximate to a front. A lift, coupled to and positioned in the box, is operationally coupled to a top of the stairs. An actuator, coupled to the box, is operationally coupled to the lift. The actuator is configured for activation by a foot of a user to compel the box to extend from the recess and to signal the lift to elevate the stairs through the upper face, wherein the stairs are configured for ascension by the user.

A foldable toe kick step stool comprising a cabinet adapted to provide a housing for a rack further housing a plurality of metal steps, a hinge mechanism for sliding the rack in a horizontally outward direction and means for sensing an operating a lifting mechanism for lifting a plurality of metal steps in a vertically upward direction. Further, the means for sensing is operably adapted to apply a hydraulic pressure mechanism for lifting the plurality of metal steps in a vertically upward direction which may be operated by an electric sensor or an actuator.

A cabinet mounted step stool can be collapsed to a narrow horizontal profile for storage without compromising usefulness of the cabinet. The step stool is supported on support channels fastened to two side walls of the cabinet. A pair of fixed track channels are supported on the support channels with the fixed track channel openings facing each other, within which two sliding track channels slide with one on the left and the other on the right. Four step support assemblies, each of which comprises a step support with one end pivotally attached to a roller and the other end pivotally attached to a foot. Two rollers slide within the left and other two rollers slide within the right sliding track channel. Two steps are supported on four corners by the four step support assemblies. When extended, the step stool provides two steps with approximately 13½″ rise in height.

Provided is a stool or stoop device that is easily transitioned between a stowed position within a cabinet and a deployed or in-use position outside of a cabinet. The stool may have a streamlined design and high ease of use so that the stool may be stowed away, set up, and utilized by children, in an example. The stool can accommodate multiple cabinet designs, floor surfaces and under-cabinet structures, such as drain traps and plumbing. The stool may be flat-boxed shipped and easily assembled and installed into a cabinet structure with minimal tools or training. In an embodiment, the stool may comprise at least two legs, wherein each leg includes a concaved or recessed portion, at least one step between and connecting the at least two legs, and a pivotable bracket for facilitating the transition between a stowed and deployed positions. The stool may be mounted to an interior of a cabinet or may include a weighted base that is positionable within the interior of the cabinet. The stool may include a cantilevered design.

A ladder with independently collapsible ladder portions, includes a first ladder portion and a second ladder portion attached to the first ladder portion and rotatable away from the first ladder portion. The first ladder portion and second ladder portion each have multiple ladder portion segments situated one adjacent another, each ladder portion segment, in an extended position, having a top surface higher than a top surface of its adjacent segment and a bottom surface lower than the top surface of its adjacent segment. The ladder is configured to be usable as a ladder in a stable manner in a first position in which both the first and second ladder portions are extended and in a second position in which one of the first and second ladder portions is extended and another of the first and second ladder portions is at least partially retracted, the first and second positions being stable.
