Abstract:
An access ladder includes a plurality of sections connected together to telescope between an extended position and a retracted position that has an increasing reactive force to counterbalance the weight of the sections as they extend.

Claim (Index 1):
An access ladder comprising:\n a plurality of sections connected together to go between an extended position and a retracted position, the plurality of sections having a plurality of plunger assemblies disposed in the sections which positively prevent the ladder from retracting into the retracted position, and a plurality of extension springs disposed in the sections, the plurality of springs are configured to produce an increasing reactive force to counterbalance a weight of the sections as the sections go between a retracted position to an extended position so the ladder does not free fall and is put in an extended position, the plunger assemblies are all configured to automatically release the ladder from the extended position to allow the ladder to be placed in the retracted position when an upward force is continuously applied to the sections.
