Abstract:
The invention relates to an actuatable compact vehicle step with first and second step portions that bifurcate from a single axis when moving from nested to extended positions to provide two or more tiered steps, the second step in a position substantially below the first step when deployed. In various embodiments, step portions travel on curved tracks from the nested position to allow them to be both well-concealed when nested and optimally extended when deployed.

Claim (Index 17):
An actuatable step for a vehicle with:\n two or more step portions; an actuator for moving two or more step portions between nested and deployed positions, one or more support members connected to each of the two or more step portions and actuator, the one or more support members each having two or more followers adjacent to an end; and two or more S-shaped tracks upon which the two or more followers travel as the step moves between nested and deployed positions.
