Abstract:
An extendable and retractable step platform assembly is provided for a front of a vehicle to afford a user with a better view and reach for accessing an engine compartment. The step platform assembly includes a guide rail system coupled to a front frame of the vehicle. A step platform is coupled to the guide rail system. The step platform provides a substantially planar surface configured to support a load for an extended time. The step platform moves in a horizontal direction between a first position that is retracted behind a front bumper of the vehicle, and a second position that is extended beyond the front bumper of the vehicle.

Claim (Index 11):
A vehicle bumper assembly having an extendable step platform, the bumper assembly comprising:\n an impact absorbing component; a guide rail system including a pair of guide rods configured to be coupled to a front frame of a vehicle; a step platform coupled to the guide rail system and defining a substantially planar surface configured to support a load and move in a horizontal direction between a first position under an engine compartment, and a second position extending a distance from a center section of a front of the vehicle; a movement-limiting system comprising a stopper component coupled to each guide rod that contacts a receiver component when the step platform extends to the second position; and an electromagnet that selectively maintains the guide rail system in at least one of the first position and the second position.
