Abstract

The extra step (5) has a support hook (4) which unfolds to hook from behind onto the existing entrance step (8) of the caravan. The extra step has a non-slip surface (7). The step and hook fold flat into the side profile for storage

Description

Es ist bekannt, Wohnmobile mit Hilfe von elektrisch oder von Hand ausklappbare Stufen zu betreten. Bedingt dadurch, daß ein Wohnmobil immer auf verschieden geneigtem Untergrund steht und deshalb mittels Auffahrkeilen und/oder Ausgleichstützen in waagerechte Position ausgerichtet wird, sind oft die fest zum Mobil gehörenden Klapp­ stufen allein für ein bequemes und gefahrloses Betreten des Mobils (besonders für ältere Menschen) zu hoch. Hingestellte Drahtklapphocker sinken in weichem Untergrund ein, auf Steinpflasterung rutschen sie weg. Kunststoffhocker werden bei höheren Temperaturen weich und geben nach, ebenso brechen sie leicht durch. Diese beiden Notlösungen bergen zudem ein hohes Unfallrisiko in sich.It is known to motorhomes with the help of electrically or manually foldable steps to enter. Due to the fact that a motorhome is always on different inclines Stands and therefore by means of ramps and / or leveling supports in horizontal position is often the fixed part of the mobile levels alone for a comfortable and safe entry of the mobile (especially for older People) too high. Put down wire folding stools sink into soft ground Stone paving slides away. Plastic stools are used at higher temperatures soft and give way, just as easily they break through. These two emergency solutions contain also a high risk of accidents.

Der im Patentanspruch 1 angegebenen Erfindung liegt das Problem zugrunde, daß eine festeingebaute zweite Stufe oft aus Platzmangel am Mobil nicht realisiert werden kann, oft könnte sie bei im Einstiegsbereich zu hohen Bodenverhältnissen im Wege sein und dadurch ein Ausfahren der Stufen ganz verhindern.The invention specified in claim 1 is based on the problem that a Fixed second stage often cannot be realized due to lack of space on the mobile, often it could be in the way of high ground conditions in the entry area and thereby completely prevent the stairs from being extended.

Diese Probleme werden durch die im Patentanspruch 1 aufgeführten Merkmale gelöst.These problems are solved by the features listed in claim 1.

Die mit der Erfindung erzielten Vorteile bestehen insbesondere darin, daß keinerlei Mon­ tagearbeit erforderlich ist und die Klappzusatzstufe nur bei Bedarf mit wenigen Handgriffen eingehakt wird. Bei Nichtgebrauch nimmt sie dadurch, daß sie zusammenklappbar ist, nur sehr wenig Stauraum in Anspruch.The advantages achieved by the invention are in particular that no mon daily work is required and the folding additional step can be carried out in just a few steps if required is hooked. When not in use, it takes only by being collapsible very little storage space required.

Weitere Vorteile der Erfindung liegen in der guten Rutschfestigkeit durch den aufgeklebten Mattenbelag sowie dessen leichte Reinigungsmöglichkeit z. B. von Sand oder Schnee durch einfaches Umklappen der Auftrittsfläche, ohne die Klappzusatzstufe dafür auszuhaken. Further advantages of the invention lie in the good slip resistance due to the glued on Mat covering and its easy cleaning possibility z. B. through sand or snow simply fold down the tread surface without unhooking the additional folding step.  

Die Klappzusatzstufe wird in zugeklapptem Zustand mit dem Mattenbelag nach unten und zum Körper zeigend mit beiden Händen etwa in der Mitte an den Seitenprofilen (Teil 1) erfaßt. Die Trittplatte wird zum Körper herausgeklappt und anschließend die Haken (Teil 4) gegen den Anschlag (Teil 2) geklappt. Nun wird die Klappzusatzstufe waagerecht mit den Haken nach oben weisend unter dem Trittbrett (Nr. 8) hindurch­ geführt und die Haken von hinten auf das Trittbrett gehakt. Durch Absenken der Klapp­ trittstufe greifen die Auskerbungen von Teil 1 über die am Mobil befindlichen Querstreben (Nr. 9) und die Klappzusatzstufe ist eingehakt. Das Aushaken erfolgt in umgekehrter Reihenfolge. Die Klappzusatzstufe kann dadurch, daß sie zwischen den Tragarmen der am Mobil vorhandenen Stufe sitzt, nicht seitlich wegrutschen. The folding additional step is gripped in the closed state with the mat covering facing down and towards the body with both hands approximately in the middle on the side profiles (part 1 ). The step plate is folded out towards the body and then the hooks (part 4 ) are folded against the stop (part 2 ). Now the additional folding step is passed horizontally with the hooks pointing upwards under the running board (No. 8 ) and the hooks are hooked onto the running board from behind. By lowering the folding step, the notches from part 1 reach over the cross struts on the mobile (No. 9 ) and the additional folding step is hooked on. The unhooking is done in reverse order. The folding additional stage can not slip sideways because it sits between the support arms of the stage on the mobile.

Die Ausführung der Erfindung ist in den Zeichnungen dargestellt und wird im folgenden näher beschrieben.The embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the drawings and is described below described in more detail.
