COLLAPSIBLE STEPLADDER

摘要

A telescopically collapsible stepladder comprises two legs (12 and 14) 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 (14b, 14c, 14d) of one of the legs when the stepladder is extended is greater than the separation of the rungs (12b, 12c, 12d) in the other leg (12).
