INTEGRATED PULLOUT STEP SYSTEM FOR TOP BUNK INGRESS/EGRESS

摘要

A truck ( 136 ) has a sleeper cab ( 138 ) in which a bunk ( 140 ) is elevated from a floor ( 72 ) of the cab. A cabinet ( 110 ) is adjacent an end of the bunk. A track ( 146, 148 ) runs on the cab floor from inside the cabinet to outside the cabinet. A set of stairs ( 42; 242 ) are movable along the track from a non-deployed position inside the cabinet to a deployed position that allows a person to ascend and descend the stairs for climbing up into and climbing down from the bunk. A releasable locking system ( 150 ) locks the stairs in the deployed and non-deployed positions. A handle ( 158 ) can be pulled to unlock the stairs from non-deployed position and move them to deployed position. The handle can be pushed to unlock the stairs from deployed position and move them to non-deployed position.
