Abstract:
A stool that can be concealed underneath a cabinet. The present invention includes a housing plate with tracks that facilitate the movement of a footplate. The footplate is attached to the housing plate such that the footplate can either be perpendicular or parallel to the face of the cabinet. When the footplate moves from the perpendicular position to the parallel position, it locks into place, providing a secure step.

Claim (Index 1):
A step, comprising:\n a housing plate attached to a support surface, the housing plate comprising a track; a footplate; a spring assembly disposed along the track, the spring assembly comprising a connector having a first end and a second end; wherein the first and second ends extend in different directions from an apex that is formed therebetween; wherein the connector is attached to the footplate at the first end thereof, a first pin hingedly connected to the connector at the second end thereof, a second pin hingedly connected to the first pin, and a spring connecting the second pin to the housing plate; wherein movement of the spring assembly along the track forces the housing plate to slide outward and rotates the footplate from a first position perpendicular to the housing plate to a second position parallel above the housing plate.
