PET STEPS
A retractable and collapsible pet stool that is slidable across the floor. In the two step embodiment, which can be increased to three or four steps or more, a first step is provided that is supported on three sides by support members of substantially of equal length to provide a substantially horizontal first step. A second step is provided that is supported on three sides by support members of substantially of equal length to provide a substantially horizontal second step. The support members of the second step are sufficiently shorter than the support members for the first step to permit the second step to selectively slide under and be removed from under the first step. The steps are detachable from each other to permit placement in different areas of the premises.
TRANSFORMING BED WITH A MOVABLE SLEEPING SECTION AND AN EXTENDABLE SUPPORT
A cabinet bed that includes a movable spacer, attached to an extendable support (e.g., a movable drawer), for supporting a movable sleeping section and/or includes at least one laterally extending slidable guide to maintain the extendable support in alignment with the movable sleeping section. For example, the cabinet bed may include the movable spacer that is pivotably attached to the extendable support underneath the movable sleeping section when in a horizontal position. The cabinet bed may also include a pair of laterally extending slidable guides extending from each side of the extendable support and/or a second pair of laterally extending slidable glides extending toward a respective side of the extendable support to maintain the extendable support in alignment with the movable sleeping section.
