MOVEABLE STAIR SYSTEMS AND METHODS
The present disclosure relates to stair systems and methods for allowing stair movement between building levels while maintaining the structural integrity of the stair system for safe egress passage. The systems and methods of the present disclosure allow for independent movement of the surrounding building walls, landings, floor slabs, and/or any other portion of the surrounding building structure or stair system. The embodiments of the present disclosure are suitable for use in both new constructions as well as in existing constructions for retrofit applications to allow for movement between levels, landings, or within stairwell structures. The present disclosure reduces stair damage during building movement whether it is from wind, thermal, or seismic activity, and/or any other type of suitable force or experience, as the present disclosure allows for directional movement, or a combination thereof, including tension and compression, lateral, or vertical movement.
EXERCISE APPARATUS HAVING A STAIR AND SLIDE ASSEMBLY
A stair and slide assembly includes a stair portion including a plurality of stairs, a slide portion including a slide with an entrance and an exit, and an assist bar positioned proximate the exit of the slide to assist a user with pivoting from the exit of the slide to the stair portion. The slide has a first portion extending substantially linearly from the entrance of the slide at an angle and a second portion extending from the first portion to the exit of the slide. The second portion transitions the slide from the angle of the first portion to substantially horizontal. The exit of the slide is configured to be positioned at a target height above a ground surface. The target height is between about 18 inches and about 30 inches.

The present disclosure reduces stair damage during building movement whether it is from wind, thermal, or seismic activity, and/or any other type of suitable force or experience, as the present disclosure allows for directional movement, or a combination thereof, including tension and compression, lateral, or vertical movement.
ROTATIONAL CONNECTIONS FOR STAIRS
The present disclosure relates to stair systems and methods for allowing stair movement, including rotational movement, between building levels while maintaining the structural integrity of the stair system for safe egress passage and ingress passage. The systems and methods of the present disclosure allow for independent movement of the surrounding building walls, landings, floor slabs, and/or any other portion of the surrounding building structure or stair system. Embodiments of the present disclosure are suitable for use in both new constructions as well as in existing constructions for retrofit applications to allow for movement between levels, landings, or within stairwell structures. The present disclosure can reduce stair damage during building movement whether it is from wind, thermal, explosive, or seismic activity, and/or any other type of suitable force or experience, as the present disclosure allows for rotational movement, longitudinal movement, or a combination thereof.

CANTILEVER STAIR ASSEMBLY
A cantilever stair assembly for installation in segments or sections includes a stair tread module including a stair tread plate having a tread hole. An embedded stair tread is inserted into and fixed within the tread hole. The stair tread module may include a first inner wall stair tread support and a second inner wall stair tread support for mounting to opposite sides of a vertical support member. Each of the first and second inner wall stair tread supports has a first plate with a plurality of support-member-engagement holes therethrough and a second plate perpendicular to the first plate and having a plurality of stair-tread-plate-engagement holes therethrough. The stair tread plate is secured to at least one of the plurality of stair-tread-plate-engagement holes of each of the first and second inner wall stair tread supports.
Method of assembly of modular stair assistance device for pets
A pet staircase may be formed by joining modular units to each other in succession and that overlie a household staircase. They are retained in position over the household staircase. Each modular unit has stairs and/or ramps. The treads may be adjusted so that they all are parallel to each other and extend horizontally.
