Abstract:
Step apparatuses that removably couple to a door latch element (e.g., a U-shaped striker element) of a vehicle are described. A step apparatus may include a hook element that enables the step apparatus to hang from a door latch element in a vehicle door well. A step apparatus may also be able to extend through a door latch element such that the step apparatus may couple to the door latch element in an upright position. A step apparatus may include one or more than one step structure.

Claim (Index 15):
The step apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein:\n the elongate support element includes a door well biased surface and a latch element biased surface; the door well biased surface is further from the step structure than the latch element biased surface when the step apparatus is releasably coupled to the latch element in an upright position; and the door well biased surface is closer to the step structure than the latch element biased surface when the step apparatus is releasably coupled to the latch element in a hanging position.
