ABSTRACT:
A bumper step includes a rigid base, a pair of first and second elongated hook members adapted to be mounted on an upper portion of a bumper in spaced apart relationship, and a pair of first and second brackets with which to support the base from the hook members. The lower end portion of each one of the brackets is mounted on a respective one of the end portions of the base so that each one of the brackets can be pivoted approximately ninety degrees between a folded position in which the bracket lies generally flat against the upper base surface and an extended position in which the bracket extends generally perpendicular to the upper base surface. An opposite end portion of each one of the hook members is mounted on the upper end portion of a respective one of the first and second brackets so that with the hook members engaging the upper portion of the bumper and the brackets in the extended position, the brackets extend downwardly from the hook members toward the base, the longitudinal edge portion of the base is disposed toward the bumper, the base extends outwardly from the bumper, and the upper base surface is disposed in a position facing generally upwardly to provide a surface upon which to stand.
