A foldable step stool includes an expandable step frame, steps pivotably coupled to the expandable step frame, and a fold-blocking lock coupled to one of the steps. The fold-blocking lock is operable to block pivotable movement of the steps relative to the expandable step frame when once foldable step stool has been opened.

A ladder with a powered lifting platform includes a first frame member and a second frame member each having a pair of support legs and an upper crossbar, wherein the first frame member is pivotally connected to the second frame member. Multiple steps are affixed between the pair of support legs of the first frame member. A lifting platform is slidably mounted between the pair of support legs of the second frame member. A powered lift mechanism has a control unit which includes a first control button configured to activate the powered lift mechanism and raise the lifting platform toward the upper crossbars and a second control button configured to activate the powered lift mechanism and lower the lifting platform away from the upper crossbars. The device allows users to safely transport heavier items to the top of the ladder without requiring the user to carry the item.

The present disclosure discloses a folding ladder and a top tray thereof. The top tray comprises a fixed plate and a movable plate. The movable plate is disposed on a rear side of the fixed plate and is rotatably connected to the fixed plate, and the movable plate is configured to be rotated to switch between an unfolded position and a folded position. When the movable plate is in the unfolded position, the movable plate is horizontally arranged side-by-side with the fixed plate, and a rear surface of the fixed plate abuts a front surface of the movable plate to maintain the movable plate in a horizontal position and to resist a downward force of gravity. When the movable plate is subjected to an upward pushing force and is rotated to be folded into the folded position, the movable plate abuts the rear side of the fixed plate.

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.

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 collapsible ladder that collapse not only the rails but also the steps, as well as the top caps, so that the ladder may be erected and then collapsed flat, saving storage space. The ladder has a pair of right siderails rotatably connected to a pair of left siderails. The right top cap and the right steps are rotatably attached in between the pair of right siderails. The right top cap and the right steps are also rotatably attached in between the pair of right linking rails. Likewise, the ladder also has a pair of left siderails rotatably connected to a pair of left siderails. The left top cap and the left steps are rotatably attached in between the pair of left siderails. The left top cap and the left steps are also rotatably attached in between the pair of left linking rails. Because the siderails, the steps, the linking rails are all rotatably attached to form the ladder, the ladder may be open and erected and also may be folded and collapsed to save space for storage and for carrying.
