ABSTRACT:
A foldaway step device for use in conjunction with a cabinet door, having a mounting plate (25) which is fixedly secured to the lower portion of the door (18), a step surface (37), legs (42), (43), (44) and (45), linkages (30) and (31), and a handle (55) which work in conjunction with and are pivotally connected to the plate (25). The step is stored flatly and verticaly on the inside of the door (18) in a manner which allows for normal use of the cabinet and unobstructed access to its contents. The step is lowered into its use position by opening the door (18) and pulling the handle (55) out and down in a 90.degree. circular motion. This action causes the step surface (37) to be lowered ot a horizontal position with the legs (42) to (45) extended vertically below it to a touching engagement with the floor. The step is stored with an action exactly the opposite.
