Abstract
A foldable ramp apparatus. The ramp apparatus comprises a first and second ramp member. The first ramp includes a channel insert, and the second ramp includes an arcuate insert. The arcuate insert is configured to pivotally engage the channel insert. The arcuate insert has a curved apex that is adapted to be received within an elongated channel of the channel insert. A slotted segment is formed on a pair of legs that extends from the arcuate insert. A corresponding slotted segment formed on a pair of legs that extends from the channel insert. A cross-member is placed within the slotted segment interconnecting the pair of legs. In the preferred embodiment, the ramp apparatus further comprises a first lip formed on the arcuate portion and configured to engage an underside of the first leg and the second leg of the first ramp as well as the slotted segment. A second lip may be formed on the grooved portion and configured to engage an underside of the first leg and the second leg of the second ramp. Additionally, a first ledge is formed on the arcuate insert and a second ledge is formed on the channel insert, with the first and second ledge being operatively inserted into the slotted segment to attach the legs to the arcuate and channel insert.
