Step for temporary installation

Abstract

A step for temporary installation upon slopes, comprising a step board ( 1 ) pivoting around its horizontal axis and provided with tilting struts ( 9 ) for adjusting the angle between the plane of the board and the plane of the slope, bears at its rear side lateral pin joints ( 2 ) attaching rails ( 3 ) whose bottom side is provided with means for fixing to the slope.

1 . A step for temporary installation upon slopes, comprising a step board pivoting around its horizontal axis and provided with tilting struts to adjust the angle between the plane of the board and the plane of the slope, wherein the step board bears laterally pin joints for attaching rails whose bottom side carries means for fixing to the slope. 
   
   
       2 . The step according to  claim 1 , wherein the pin joints are outside the lateral sides of the board. 
   
   
       3 . The step according to  claim 1 , wherein each rail comprises a bottom side provided with pins for being driven into the ground and a higher upper batten carrying said pin joint and being provided with holes accepting the bottom end of the tilting strut. 
   
   
       4 . The step according to  claim 3 , wherein the holes are arranged in two offset rows. 
   
   
       5 . The step according to  claim 1 , wherein both ends of each rail have projections with holes for interconnecting adjacent steps, e.g. by nails driven into the ground. 
   
   
       6 . The step according to  claim 1 , wherein the step board has the form of a grid.
