Abstract
The present invention uses magnets and a wand to create a simple, attractive and functional way to get rid of the hanging cord and handle in an attic staircase. We call it the Magnetic Pulldown. It has an attractive fixture with magnets in the ceiling above and a three-foot wand with a powerful magnet nearby. The ceiling fixture houses the conventional rope and handle for pulling down the attic staircase. The handle is in a pocket and is visible from the floor below. The handle has weak magnets pointing up to keep it in place and a powerful magnet pointing down, awaiting the wand's powerful magnet to pull it out. To access the attic the user gets the wand and snaps it into the powerful magnet in the handle above. The user easily pulls the handle and rope down, snaps the bond between the magnets, z and uses the rope and handle to pull the attic staircase down. The Magnetic Pulldown needs no motor or electrical components. There is a prototype for this invention in the home of one of the inventors.
