Abstract:
A retractable and collapsible pet stool that is slidable across the floor. In the “two step” embodiment, which can be increased to three or four steps or more, a first step is provided that is supported on three sides by support members of substantially of equal length to provide a substantially horizontal first step. A second step is provided that is supported on three sides by support members of substantially of equal length to provide a substantially horizontal second step. The support members of the second step are sufficiently shorter than the support members for the first step to permit the second step to selectively slide under and be removed from under the first step. The steps are detachable from each other to permit placement in different areas of the premises.

Claim (Index 7):
A retractable and collapsible step stool for pets that rests on a floor and is slidable across the floor comprising:\n a. a first step having a first upper panel having a first front edge, a first rear opposing edge and first opposing side edges;\n a first rear support member mounted along the first rear edge extending to the floor; \n a first side support member mounted along each of the first opposing side edges, each extending to the floor; \n wherein the first rear support member and first side support members are of substantially equal length to provide a substantially horizontal first upper panel that is slidably supported on the floor; \n b. a second step having a second upper panel having a second front edge, a second rear opposing edge and second opposing side edges;\n a second rear support member mounted along the second rear edge extending to the floor; \n a second side support member mounted along each of the second opposing side edges, each extending to the floor; \n wherein the second rear support member and second side support members are of substantially equal length to provide a substantially horizontal second upper panel that is slidably supported on the floor; \n wherein the second rear support member and second side support members are sufficiently shorter than the first rear support member and first side support members and the second upper panel is sufficiently smaller than the first upper panel to permit the second step to selectively slide under the first step to collapse the step stool and extend from under the first step to retract the step stool; \n c. a third step having a third upper panel having a third front edge, a third rear opposing edge and third opposing side edges;\n a third rear support member mounted along the third rear edge of the third upper panel extending to the floor; \n a third side support member mounted along each of the third opposing side edges of the third upper panel, each extending to the floor; \n wherein the third rear support member and third side support members are of substantially equal length to provide a substantially horizontal third upper panel that is slidably supported on the floor; wherein the third rear support member and third side support members are sufficiently shorter than the second rear support member and second side support members and the third upper panel is sufficiently smaller than the second upper panel to permit the third step to selectively slide under the second step to collapse the step stool and extend from under the second step to retract the step stool.
