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 1):
An actuatable step for a vehicle comprising:\n a first step portion, a second step portion pivotally attached to the first step portion along a single axis, and an actuator for moving first and second step portions between nested and deployed positions, wherein the first and second step portions are configured to bifurcate from the single axis when the actuatable step is deployed.
