Claim:
A step stool comprising a foldable frame arranged to move between folded and unfolded positions, a step mounted to the frame for pivotable movement relative thereto, the step including a platform that is arranged to support a person thereon and includes a periphery formed to include a notch, and a latch mounted for pivotable movement relative to the step in the notch between a latch position to latch to the frame to block pivotable movement of the step relative thereto and a release position to release the frame to allow pivotable movement of the step relative thereto, the step including pivot limiter means for engaging the latch when the latch assumes the release position to limit pivotable movement of the latch in the notch away from the latch position to facilitate pivotable movement of the step relative to the frame to move the frame from the unfolded position to the folded position upon application of a folding force to the latch.
