SERVICE COMPARTMENT FOR MACHINES

摘要

A service compartment for machines is disclosed. The service compartment includes a face portion, a door, and a step assembly mounted proximal to the door. The step assembly is switchable between a folded configuration and an extended configuration and includes a first base plate, a second base plate, and a stopper member. The first base plate has an attachment face attached to the face portion, and a support face. The second base plate has a first face and a second face and is pivotally attached to first base plate. The stopper member is attached to second base plate. In the folded configuration, the first face substantially overlaps the support face and the step assembly is disposed within the service compartment. In the extended configuration, the first face is substantially planar to the support face and the step assembly extends at least partially outwards of the service compartment.

1. A service compartment for a machine, the service compartment having at least one door and a face portion, the service compartment comprising:
a step assembly mounted proximal to the at least one door of the service compartment, the step assembly being switchable between a folded configuration and an extended configuration, the step assembly including:
a first base plate having an attachment face and a support face, the attachment face being attached to the face portion of the machine;a second base plate having a first face and a second face, the second base plate pivotally attached to the first base plate and pivotally movable relative to the first base plate about a longitudinal axis,
wherein, in the folded configuration, the first face of the second base plate substantially overlaps to the support face of the first base plate and the step assembly is disposed within the service compartment,wherein, in the extended configuration, the first face of the second base plate is positioned substantially planar to the support face of the first base plate and the step assembly extends at least partially outwards of the service compartment; anda stopper member attached to the second face of the second base plate, wherein the stopper member abuts against the face portion of the service compartment in the extended configuration, thereby restricting the movement of the second base plate beyond a substantially planar position.
