Patent ID: 8453795

Claim:
A stepping device comprising: a first step member including a first riser and a first tread; a second step member including a second riser and a second tread, the first step member fixedly attached to the second step member; and a third step member including first, second, and third panels, the first and third panels oriented orthogonal to the second panel, the third step member rotatably attached to the second step member, wherein the third step member is rotatable relative to the second step member to configure the stepping device between a two-step configuration and a three-step configuration, the first panel being generally planar with the second tread in the two-step configuration; wherein the orientation of the third panel of the third step member in the three-step configuration is generally orthogonal to the orientation of the third panel in the two-step configuration, and wherein the third panel of the third step member has a height equal to a collective height of the first and second risers and the first panel of the third step member; and, wherein the second panel of the third step member is oriented vertically and has a height equal to a collective height of the first and second risers when in the two-step configuration, and wherein the second panel of the third step member is oriented horizontally and defines a third tread when in the three-step configuration.
