Description |
Wooden handmade staircase ladder model in two pieces. The staircase section of the model consists of a five-step staircase attached to a wooden upright wall section. The a-frame folding ladder has five steps. The side support legs have additional leg sections that slide to change the height of the ladder for use on stairs or to accommodate differences in the floor level. The legs are held in place with metal screws. The model is painted brown, and some areas are shellacked. Parts of the ladder are constructed from paint stirrers. The model was created for a patent that was not pursued. |
