Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a collapsible stepladder provided with ladder sections being telescopically inserted in each other.
- Collapsible and expandable stepladders are known in the art. Below examples of prior art are stepladders described.
- In WO-A1-99/51848 a telescopically collapsible stepladder is disclosed comprising two legs that are hinged to one another. Each leg is formed of telescopically collapsible sections having latch mechanisms in each of the rungs for automatically locking the sections relative to one another when the leg is extended. The latch mechanisms in each rung are designed to release the next higher section when the rung is collapsed against the next lower rung. The separation of the rungs of one of the legs, when the stepladder is extended, is greater than the separation of the rungs in the other leg. The problem with the stepladder of WO-A1-99/51848 is that the collapsible sections of the two legs have different height, which is why the stepladder will never pass type approval. Further, the stepladder can not be converted to a straight ladder, since folding the two legs to be adjacent, results in a ladder with many small steps due to the different height of collapsible sections.
- In US-A-4 989 692 a ladder including two hinged sections is disclosed, that can be oriented in an inverted V-configuration for use as a stepladder, or in a straight linear configuration for use as a straight ladder. Each section of the ladder includes a number of U-shaped support units, each of which defines a crossbar and two downwardly extending side rails. The side rails of the different U-shaped units are of graduated cross sectional dimensions, so that the units can be contracted together by telescopically sliding the aligned side rails within one another. The problem with the ladder of US-A-4 989 692 is that the two sections of the ladder can not be used without an external support or the user will need to balance while working, which is not preferable from a work safety aspect. This is due to the lack of support provided on the ladder while using the upper ladder sections of the ladder. Another problem with the ladder is that if the ladder is converted to a straight ladder, the ladder is rather unstable since the two legs are folded up and fixed to each other by a swingable tie bar 26. Such a fixing arrangement is neither very secure, nor is it very stable and would not pass type approval.
- In GB-A-2 110 286 another stepladder is disclosed, including a first set of strong and telescopic elements, a second set of parts, each comprising a support surface forming one step of the ladder. Each part is transversely connected to one element or group of strong elements of the first set. A set of stopper studs and locking means between the various strong elements of the first set is arranged to ensure at least the stability of the two extreme positions of the ladder, that is, of the ladder folded up on itself and of the extended ladder. The ladder of GB-A-2 110 286 not only suffers from the same problems as US-A-4 989 692, but also lacks a locking or fixing arrangement in the converted disposition.
- The object of the present invention is to overcome the disadvantages and problems with the prior art step ladders and to provide a stepladder which is easy and safe to handle and which is possible to convert into a straight ladder without lowering the standards of safety and manageability.
- A stepladder according to the characterizing features of
claim 1 solves the above problem. - The features of the dependent claims define further aspects of the claimed invention and preferred embodiments.
- In the following, the invention will be explained with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- Fig. 1 is a perspective view of a maximally collapsed stepladder according to the invention;
- Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the stepladder according to the invention, where all ladder sections are fully extended;
- Fig. 3 is a side view of the stepladder according to the invention, where all ladder sections are fully extended;
- Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the ladder according to the invention in a converted style as a straight ladder having one ladder section collapsed; and
- Fig. 5 is a side view of the ladder according to the invention in a converted style as a straight ladder having one ladder section collapsed.
- A
collapsible stepladder 1 according to the invention is shown in the drawings. Fig. 1 shows acollapsible stepladder 1 comprising afirst ladder leg 2, which is hingedly connected to asecond ladder leg 3 in the upper ends of the first andsecond ladder leg hinge connection 5. Each of theladder legs several ladder sections 4a-4d, where eachladder section 4a-4d comprises twoladder bars rung 8 to form aU-shaped ladder section 4a-4d. Theladder sections 4a-4d are telescopically inserted into a lower ladder section to form acollapsible ladder leg ladder legs lower ladder section 4e, which comprises twoladder bars rung 9, at a lower end by aladder base 10 and in between therung 9 and theladder base 10 by anotherrung 11. Theladder sections 4a-4d are telescopically inserted into theladder section 4e. - The
ladder legs ladder sections 4a-4e, but in a preferred embodiment fourcollapsible ladder sections 4a-4d are arranged together with thelower ladder section 4e. The number of ladder sections is limited by the stability of the stepladder and the requirement to pass type approval. - Each
rung ladder legs - The
second ladder leg 3 is provided with asupport part 12 in one end. Thesupport part 12 is telescopically extendible from thesecond ladder leg 3 to form aladder extension 12 of theladder leg 3, and thesupport part 12 projects above thehinge connection 5 between the twoladder legs support part 12 comprise at least onesupport section 12a-12b, each support section comprising twoladder bars rung 16 to form at least oneU-shaped support section 12a-12b. Thesupport sections 12a-12b are telescopically inserted into theladder leg 3 to form acollapsible support part 12. Thesupport part 12 also comprises anupper support section 12c, comprising twoladder bars rung 13 to form aU-shaped support section 12c. Thesupport section 12c is telescopically inserted into thelower support section 12a-12b. - In Fig 2. the ladder is shown, having both
ladder legs extension part 12 fully extended. Thesupport part 12 enables the user of the stepladder to stand on theupper ladder section 4a-4b as thesupport part 12 makes the user feel safe. In Fig. 2 thesupport part 12 comprises twocollapsible ladder sections upper rung 13 of thesupport part 12, a device for holding tools or objects, such as a tray, a table, a shelf, a box/case or a basket, can be arranged. The device is clamped, squeezed, hanged, hooked or in any other suitable manner arranged to be positioned at theupper rung 13. Therung 13 might be arranged with receiving means such as holes, chamfered surfaces, recesses or the like to better receive the holding device. - In Fig. 2 a
strap 14 is also shown arranged between theladder legs strap 14 is attached by suit fastening means, e.g. a pop rivet or the like, in one end to a rear side of arung 8 of theladder leg 2 and in another end to a rear side of arung 8 of theladder leg 3. Preferably, thestrap 14 is attached to therungs 8 positioned onladder section 4e of theladder legs strap 14 to rungs associated with ladder sections located above or belowladder sections 4e. Thestrap 14 is also shown in Figs. 3 and 5, but has been omitted in Figs. 1 and 4 for clarity reasons. Thestrap 14 can be made of nylon woven nylon material. - In Fig. 3 is shown how the
hinge connection 5 almost creates a platform between the upper part of theladder legs - In Figs. 4 and 5 the
ladder section 4d of theladder leg 2 is collapsed. Thestepladder 1 is converted to a straight ladder, which is positioned against a wall. Thesupport part 12 enables the ladder to be leaned against the wall without theladder leg 2 interfering or instabilizing the ladder in the leaned position. Since theladder section 4d of theladder leg 2 is collapsed, theladder leg 2 is hanging freely and out of the way when the ladder is converted to a straight ladder. Any or several of thecollapsible ladder sections 4a-4d can be collapsed. To ensure that the collapsed ladder sections are not extended by its own weight, a holding means 15 holds the collapsed ladder sections and the ladder section positioned adjacently below the collapsed ladder sections together. - In Fig. 4 the holding means is a
strap 15 of a nylon material, but it can also be a hook, which is attached to the rung of one ladder section and which can be pivoted so that the hook part is surrounds the rung of an adjacently positioned ladder section. It is also possible to use a U-shaped clamp of a plastic material, which holds the rungs of the collapsed ladder sections and the ladder section positioned adjacently below the collapsed ladder sections together. The advantage with a clamp is that any of theladder sections 4a-4d can be collapsed and held my the clamp, whereas the location of a hook or a strap decides whichcollapsible ladder sections 4a-4d should be collapsed and held together with the ladder section positioned adjacently below the collapsed ladder section. According to yet another alternative, the retaining mechanism or more the specifically the locking pins of the retaining mechanism can be used to hold or lock a collapsedcollapsible ladder sections 4a-4d in relation to a ladder section positioned adjacently below thecollapsed ladder section 4a-4d. - In Figs. 4 and 5 the
ladder section 4d is collapsed and thestrap 15, i.e. the holding means, surrounds thecollapsed ladder section 4d and theladder section 4e of theladder leg 2. Thestrap 15 is preferably attached to one of therungs strap 15 is attached torung 9 by a pop rivet or any other suitable fastening means. Thestrap 15 is fastened by the center of thestrap 15 so that the strap extends substantially equally in both directions from the fastening position. In the end parts of thestrap 15, Velcro© fasteners or similar fastening means are provided that interacts with each other when the strap ends surround the rungs. - The
ladder sections 4b-4e of theladder leg 3 are suitably designed withdeeper rungs ladder leg 2. The rungs are suitably made of an extruded aluminum profile. - In the above embodiment showing the converted ladder, i.e. the use of the ladder as a straight ladder, at least one
collapsible ladder section 4a-4d of thefirst ladder leg 2 is collapsed to enable the ladder to be used as a straight ladder. However, it is also possible to keep allladder sections 4a-4d of thefirst ladder leg 2 extended and fold in theladder leg 2 to be adjacent and parallel to thesecond ladder leg 3. The holding means 15 can in that case be used to maintain the twoladder legs lower ladder section 4e of thesecond ladder leg 3 could in that case be longer than thelower ladder section 4e of thefirst ladder leg 2 so that both lower end parts of the twoladder legs - The invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and shown on the drawings, but can be supplemented and modified in any manner within the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
