ABSTRACT:
A self-supporting helical staircase having an interconnected series of radial steps adapted to be swingably opened for providing vertically spaced horizontal support surfaces. The steps are angularly displaceable about a pintel post in progressive increments and are resiliently coupled for snap-lock engagement when in the fully extended position. A vertically extendible elongate handle is housed within the pintel post and can be locked at selected heights by a pressure clamp arrangement mounted at the upper end of the pintel post. The elongate handle can be folded about an articulated joint to a substantially horizontal position when in non-use. A sleeve member is slidable along the handle and can be positioned over the joint to provide vertical rigidity when the handle is to be used.
