ABSTRACT:
A support device for use in supporting a person on the side a vehicle extends from the side of a vehicle below the main body thereof and has a support member, which is clamped at one end to the vehicle frame. A step unit is attached to the other end of the support member. A panel for supporting the person is attached to the step unit. The support member has a pair of opposing rods at the end attached to the vehicle frame, these rods running along the opposite sides of the vehicle frame. The rods are clamped to the frame by bolts. The support member has a pair of arms which run at right angles to each other and a third arm running angularly between the pair of arms to form a triangular configuration. One of said pair of arms forms one of the rods running along the side of the vehicle frame. The step unit is attached to the end of the other one of the pair of arms. This attachment is made to permit pivotal movement of ninety degrees of the step relative to the other one of the pair of arms. This permits the resetting the position of the panel relative to the vehicle should it extend out too far from the sides of the vehicle.
