ADJUSTABLE, MODULAR HANDICAP-ACCESS-RAMP SYSTEM

摘要

An adjustable, modular handicap-access-ramp system (10) enables transport of wheelchairs and temporarily or permanently physically handicapped individuals and no-step access thereof into and out of a structure. The system (10) comprises a plurality of core modules (12, 14, 18, 20) adapted to be combined with each other to configure a customized ramp. At least one combined locating and support pin (24) is adapted to connect to each other the core modules (12, 14, 18, 20) disposed adjacent to each other. At least one substantially infinitely adjustable column assembly (26) allows movement of predetermined core modules (12, 14, 18, 20) up or down and to a desired angle. At least one connector (28) allows attachment to each other of the adjacent core modules ( 12, 14, 18, 20) that require a change in grade with respect to each other.
