Abstract

See full text

A step assembly for use with a ladder comprises a first siderail member, a second siderail member, and a step. The first and second siderail members are mounted for pivotal movement about respective pivot axes between a suspended use position and a retracted position. The step has an unlocked position and a locked position. The step is yieldably biased to the unlocked position. In the unlocked position, the step is unlocked relative to the first and second siderail members enabling the step to swing with the first and second siderail members from the suspended use position to the retracted position. In the locked positioned, the step is locked to the first and second siderail members against relative pivotal movement between the step and the first and second siderail members to keep the first and second siderail members in the suspended use position for use of the step.
