Definitions

  • the invention relates to the folded ladder stairs made from hinged segments (specifically 3 or 4 of them) attached to the ceiling and lowered by unfolding.
  • the main application for the invention is an entrance to loft.
  • the invention applies also to folded ladders that are different from ladder stairs because of their inclination angle.
  • segment folded stairs attached to the ceiling, opened downwards by unfolding, including 4-segment stairs, are a known design.
  • the stairs have hinge connected segments, the first of which is mounted on the cover closing the stairs frame opening from the bottom.
  • the existing stair designs have no safeguards against uncontrolled detachment of the second and the following segments from the first segment, which can happen in the case of hard opening of the stairs producing rebound and upward movement of the segments and, possibly, spontaneous uncontrolled unfolding of the stairs.
  • a stowable or foldable ladder is disclosed.
  • Said ladder is configured for installation in an opening to provide access between one floor or space and another floor or space.
  • the ladder includes an upper ladder section having a left ladder rail and a right ladder rail, a lower ladder section having a left ladder rail and a right ladder rail, a hinge rotatably connecting the upper ladder section left ladder rail to the lower ladder section left ladder rail and rotatably connecting the upper ladder section right ladder rail to the lower ladder section right ladder rail, and a plurality of steps rotatably disposed between the upper pair of ladder rails and the lower pair of ladder rails, wherein the plurality of steps are configured for rotation between a retracted position and a deployed position.
  • Said hinge is a locking hinge configured to lock in at least one position including a fully deployed position of the foldable ladder and is configured to provide increased resistance to opening or closing at at least one angle along an arc traveled by the ladder including a fully deployed position of the foldable ladder.
  • the main idea of the solution The deliberated folded stairs designed for installing in the ceiling, opened downwards by unfolding, have a mechanism that prevents uncontrolled detachment of at least two last segments from the first segment, by rotation on the hinges, positioned, when the stairs are lowered and unfolded, at the bottom of the segments.
  • the device has a hook that, together with the subassembly containing the first segment and, beneficially, the cover, joins together the top segment with one of the following segments.
  • the stairs have a frame installed in the ceiling, used for storing the stairs in folded and closed condition.
  • the stairs have a bottom cover for closing the frame opening. The cover is opened and lowered together with the stair segments.
  • the first segment positioned, when the stairs are unfolded, at the top of all segments, is joined together with the frame with hinges, provided that the direct connection exists between the first segment and the frame or between the frame and the cover holding the first segment.
  • the term "subassembly containing the first segment and, beneficially, the cover” means, depending on stairs design either the first segment fastened to the cover that is joined with the frame using hinges or the first segment joined together with the frame using hinges with the cover attached to the bottom of the first segment or the first segment joined together with the frame using hinges but without the cover (which can be opened separately).
  • the segment attached to the cover is fastened to the cover in such a way that during the operation of the stairs the segment remains fixed relative to the cover, which does not preclude existence of structural components enabling re-positioning the segment vs. the cover during assembly or repair.
  • the cover-to-segment connection can be fixed or hinged.
  • the subsequent ladder stair segments are joined together with the hinges positioned at segment interfaces at the top or bottom of the stringers (or side beams) of the segments.
  • First segment second segment are joined together with hinges with the axis of rotation positioned near the top surfaces of the stringers of the two segments.
  • the hook of the safety device is positioned, when the stairs are lowered and unfolded, near the top end of the first segment and while the stairs are unfolded the hook is unlatched by the user.
  • the hook of the safety device is unlocked by lifting by the user of at least the terminal segment with simultaneous rotation of the segment on the hinges that are positioned at the top when the stairs are opened but unfolded.
  • the safety device can have a pull rod for unlocking the hook, operated by the user independently of lifting the segments, beneficially using a lever positioned at the bottom ends of the segments when the stairs are opened but unfolded.
  • the invention consists mainly of the design containing 4 ladder stair segments, where the fourth segment starting from the top (when the stairs are unfolded) is joined together with the third segment with the hinges, the axis of rotation of which is positioned at the bottom of the stringers of the two segments, whereas second and third segments are joined together with hinges, the axis of rotation of which is offset from the bottom of the stringers of the two segments.
  • the hinges with the offset axis of rotation referred to in short as "extension hinges"
  • the offset of the axis of rotation is at least one half of the height of the cross-section of the stringers of the two segments. Consequently, when the stairs are folded, the fourth segment is positioned between third and second segments, the latter resting on the first segment.
  • the hook of the safety device for protection against uncontrolled detachment of second segment and the following segments from the first segment by rotation on the hinges joining together first and second segments is positioned near the extension hinges.
  • the hook of the safety device is unlatched by lifting coupled third and fourth segments by the user with simultaneous rotation of the two segments on the extension hinges and detachment of the hinges of third and fourth segments (positioned at the bottom) from second segment.
  • the hook of the safety device that operates in combination with the retainer as part of the subassembly containing the first segment and, beneficially, the cover, is hinged to second segment and it is unlocked by the unlatching pull rod hinged to the hook and one of the following segments, specifically the third segment.
  • the retainer operating in combination with the hook of the safety device is positioned on first segment.
  • the retainer has the form of a pin protruding laterally from the segment's stringer. After lifting by the user the bottom of third segment and, possibly, the following segments, the unlatching pull rod joined with the third segment draws the hook away from the pin installed on first segment and unlocks the coupling of the segments. This enables rotating second segment and latter on the hinge joining together first segment and second segment and unfolding the stairs for walking.
  • the unlatching arm of the hook has an oblique surface on the opposite of the latching surface, which operates in combination with the retainer as part of the subassembly containing the first segment and, beneficially, the cover, to facilitate the snapping of the hook in the latched position.
  • the unlatching pull rod has a longitudinal opening on at least one of its ends to facilitate movement of the pin set in the component (preferably, the hook of the safety device) operating in combination with the pull rod.
  • the lifting of the bottoms of the segments will first close the clearance in the longitudinal opening of the unlatching pull rod and then the pull rod will draw the hook away from the pin and unlock the coupling of the segments.
  • the hook will be unlocked with a delay, as a result of deliberate action of the user, which eliminates the risk of uncontrolled unlocking in the case of hard opening the stairs and rebound of segment 2 and the following segments.
  • the hook of the safety device is hinged to the base plate of the extension hinge, the base plate fastened to second segment.
  • the unlatching pull rod is hinged to the hook and the arm fastened to third segment, overlaid on the extension hinge swivel plate fastened to third segment.
  • the arm is fastened using threaded connectors common for the arm and the swivel plate of the extension hinge.
  • the hook of the safety device is fastened to the third or further segment, remaining fixed relative to the segment.
  • the hook operates in combination with the retainer as part of the subassembly containing the first segment and, possibly, the cover, provided that the retainer (a pin protruding laterally from the segment's stringer) is positioned on first segment.
  • This monolithic hook has a mounting plate, connector and a latching arm. In folded stairs the latching arm points towards the end of the first segment that is the top of the segment when the stairs are open and extends beyond the retainer installed in this segment.
  • the hook of the safety device After rotating by the user, while unfolding the bottom parts of third segment and, possibly, the following segments, the hook of the safety device swivels, together with the segments, around the axis of the hinge joining together second and third segments, which hinge, when the stairs are lowered and unfolded, is positioned on the top of the segments.
  • the connector and the latching arm of the hook move below the pin, thus unlocking the swivelling movement of the segments and enabling complete unfolding the stairs.
  • the retainer (pin) and the latching surface of the hook This clearance eliminates friction between the components.
  • the hook of the safety device is installed on third segment. Thus, when the stairs are unfolded, the hook protrudes obliquely towards the bottom from this segment, without disturbing the walking.
  • the hook of the safety device is operated by the control lever independently of the operation of the third and, possibly, fourth segment.
  • the lever has a swivel connection with third or second segment, installed near the bottom, when the stairs are lowered and unfolded, end of the segment.
  • the control lever is coupled with the hook with a pull rod running along the same segment.
  • 4-segment stairs with extension hinges between second and third segments i.e., stairs in which the fourth segment is positioned, when the stairs are folded, between second and third segments, have a bottom lock in the coupling of third and fourth segments. The lock prevents third and fourth segments from uncontrolled separation.
  • the bottom lock consists of a flat connector hinged to third or fourth segment and a pin installed in second segment.
  • the connector has a longitudinal opening terminated with a recess across the opening with a bearing surface.
  • the recess is located on the side of the hinge coupling the connector with the segment.
  • the pin, installed in second segment operates in combination with the longitudinal opening and its lateral recess.
  • the bottom lock has spring that forces the resetting of the connector to the position in which the pin enters the lateral recess of the longitudinal opening and, by engaging the bearing surface of the recess, holds fourth and third segments together. While the stairs unfold, the connector of the lock moves, after overcoming resistance from the spring, to the position in which the pin leaves the lateral recess and can move along the whole length of the longitudinal opening.
  • Ceiling-mounted folded stairs furnished with a safety mechanism for protection against detachment of at least two last segments from the first segment are safer than the hitherto known designs.
  • the safety device is particularly important for 4-segment stairs with elevated centre of gravity of the folded segments.
  • the added benefit consists of elimination of additional control components.
  • Example1 Folded stairs installed in the ceiling have a ladder stairs unit (1) consisting of four segments. When unfolded ( Fig. 5 ), the first segment (11) is located on the top of second segment (12), third segment (13) and fourth segment (14) descend towards the floor, with the fourth segment (14) footed on the floor. Each segment has two stringers (15), i.e. lateral beams joined together with steps (16). When the stairs are unfolded, the surface of each step is horizontal. Each pair of segments is joined together with hinges installed on the extremes of the segments. The hinges, coming in pairs (left and right), are attached to the outer surfaces of segment stringers (15).

  • the operation of the hook (31) is controlled by the unlatching pull rod (36) hinged to the hook (31) and to the arm (37) overlaid on the swivel plate (27) of the extension hinge fixed to the third segment (13).
  • the arm (37) and the swivel plate (27) are fastened using threaded connectors: bolts (28) common for the arm and swivel plate.
  • the unlatching pull rod (36) has a longitudinal opening (38) for the setting of the headed pin (39) in the lateral surface of the hook (31), which provides the swivel and sliding joint, whereas the connection between the unlatching pull rod (36) and the arm (37) is a swivel-only joint based on the pin placed in the round openings of the unlatching pull rod and the arm.
