How to make a compact folding ladder: idea and realization

It is difficult to find urban or suburban resident, in an economy which does not find a sliding or folding aluminum ladder ladder. Hang the chandelier, replace the light bulb, set the cornices - a ladder or stepladder everywhere will find application.

Israel Itay Laniado proposed the original idea to allow any handyman to make ultra-compact and inexpensive folding ladder. The staircase turned out so simple and convenient that using it is very easy as dragging from place to place.

The idea is to avoid the moving metal parts, screws or glue joints. Such an approach greatly simplifies the construction of the sliding ladder.

The staircase is made as follows:

• Take two pieces of wood planed 30x50 mm, about two meters long.
• Frezeruem in these slots for the three beams.
• From bar 20x50 cut into three stages.
• With the help of the jigsaw in the long slots the bars do. The slit strap is passed from the screed ratchet.

This coupler is used for the carriage of goods.

To bring the ladder into operation is necessary to loosen the tie strap, push the long bars and insert steps into the slots. Then, using a ratchet and strap, pull all the details.

It turns rigid structure, which can withstand the weight of an adult person + small cargo. When folded, the staircase resembles a glued beam with a narrow vertical ridges. tie strap is also one of the stages.

Due to its small size, the stairs can be hidden behind the cupboard or put under the bed, and she will not "callous" eyes. If you need to transport a ladder to another location, the belt of ties is used as a handle.

The main drawback of the design - because of its compact size staircase is not adapted for climbing to a higher altitude. Although, for use in a room with a ceiling height of up to 3 meters of its length it is more than enough.

Also, this design can be upgraded. For example, instead of the wooden bars or aluminum tube used to gather the same scheme compact collapsible stepladder.
