Apparatus and method for a collapsible arched ramp

摘要

An apparatus and method for a collapsible arched ramp includes an arched vertically extending middle ramp section, two arched vertically extending outer ramp sections, and two arched vertically extending connecting ramp sections. The connecting ramp sections connect the outer ramp sections to opposing vertical sides of the middle ramp section so that the outer ramp sections are substantially parallel and laterally spaced apart with the middle ramp section. The arches of the outer ramp sections arch in a same direction of the arch of the middle ramp section and arch in the opposite direction of the middle ramp section. When collapsing the ramp, the direction of the arched sections line up, allowing for a compact assembly that may be easily carried and stored. The method of extending and collapsing the ramp allows for a ramp that is rapidly and efficiently assembled.

主权项

1. An apparatus comprising:
an arched vertically extending middle ramp section; two arched vertically extending outer ramp sections, an arch of each of the two outer ramp sections arching in a same direction of an arch of the middle ramp section; and two arched vertically extending connecting ramp sections, each connecting ramp section having a vertical length smaller than a vertical length of the middle ramp section and connecting the two outer ramp sections to opposing vertical sides of the middle ramp section, wherein the apparatus may be configured in each of a collapsed orientation and an inclined orientation, wherein the two outer ramp sections are substantially parallel to and laterally spaced apart from the middle ramp section when in the inclined orientation.
