Support platform

Abstract

A support platform includes a hollow frame, and a plurality of support plates mounted in the frame and each having a flat tread portion and a ramp portion. The flat tread portion of each of the support plates is located above and partially covers the ramp portion of an adjacent one of the support plates. Thus, when the heel portion of a high-heel shoe is inserted into one of the conduits of the support plates, the heel portion of the high-heel shoe is stopped and supported by the respective ramp portion to prevent the heel portion of the high-heel shoe from being jammed or upset as to protect a female passenger's safety.

1 . A support platform, comprising:
 a hollow frame;   a plurality of support plates mounted in the frame and each having a first end formed with a flat tread portion and a second end formed with a ramp portion inclined relative to the flat tread portion;   wherein the flat tread portion of each of the support plates is located above and partially covers the ramp portion of an adjacent one of the support plates;   wherein the flat tread portion of each of the support plates has a top face flush with a top surface of the frame.   
   
   
       2 . The support platform in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the support plates are parallel with each other and are arranged in an axial direction of the frame, and each of the support plates extends in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the frame. 
   
   
       3 . (canceled) 
   
   
       4 . The support platform in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the ramp portion of each of the support plates extends downward in an inclined way relative to the flat tread portion. 
   
   
       5 . The support platform in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the flat tread portions of the support plates are parallel and in line with each other, and the ramp portions of the support plates are parallel with each other. 
   
   
       6 . The support platform in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein distance between any two adjacent flat tread portions of the support plates is smaller than that between any two adjacent ramp portions of the support plates. 
   
   
       7 . The support platform in accordance with  claim 1 , wherein the support plates are spaced from each other to define a plurality of conduits located between the flat tread portion of each of the support plates and the ramp portion of an adjacent one of the support plates. 
   
   
       8 . The support platform in accordance with  claim 7 , wherein each of the conduits of the support plates faces the respective ramp portion. 
   
   
       9 . The support platform in accordance with  claim 1 , further comprising at least one reinforcing rib secured in the frame and rested on a distal end of the ramp portion of each of the support plates. 
   
   
       10 . A support platform, comprising:
 a hollow frame;   a plurality of oblique support plates mounted in the frame;   wherein each of the support plates has a partial portion located above and partially covers an adjacent one of the support plates;   wherein each of the support plates has a top face flush with a top surface of the frame.   
   
   
       11 . The support platform in accordance with  claim 10 , wherein the support plates are parallel with each other. 
   
   
       12 . (canceled) 
   
   
       13 . The support platform in accordance with  claim 10 , wherein the support plates are spaced from each other to define a plurality of conduits therebetween. 
   
   
       14 . The support platform in accordance with  claim 10 , wherein the each of the support plates has a top formed with a downward extending oblique wing. 
   
   
       15 . A support platform, comprising:
 a hollow frame;   a plurality of support plates mounted in the frame and each having a first end formed with a first ramp portion, a mediate portion formed with a flat tread portion and a second end formed with a second ramp portion inclined relative to the flat tread portion;   wherein the first ramp portion of each of the support plates is located above and partially covers the second ramp portion of an adjacent one of the support plates.   
   
   
       16 . The support platform in accordance with  claim 15 , wherein the flat tread portion of each of the support plates is located between the first ramp portion and the second ramp portion and has a top face flush with a top surface of the frame. 
   
   
       17 . The support platform in accordance with  claim 15 , wherein the first ramp portion of each of the support plates extends downward in an inclined way relative to the flat tread portion, and the second ramp portion of each of the support plates extends downward in an inclined way relative to the flat tread portion. 
   
   
       18 . The support platform in accordance with  claim 15 , wherein the first ramp portion of each of the support plates has a length smaller than that of the second ramp portion. 
   
   
       19 . The support platform in accordance with  claim 15 , wherein the flat tread portions of the support plates are parallel and in line with each other, the first ramp portion of the support plates are parallel with each other, and the second ramp portion of the support plates are parallel with each other. 
   
   
       20 . The support platform in accordance with  claim 15 , wherein the support plates are spaced from each other to define a plurality of conduits located between the first ramp portion of each of the support plates and the second ramp portion of an adjacent one of the support plates, and each of the conduits of the support plates faces the respective second ramp portion.
