Patent

CA 2586030

A step assembly (26) is provided for a bumper (22) of a motor vehicle (10). The step assembly includes a mounting bracket (36) fixedly secured to the bumper. A step (30) is operatively coupled to the mounting bracket and is movable between a retracted position disposed adjacent the bumper and a deployed position extending away from the bumper. A pivot arm (56) is pivotally interconnected between the mounting bracket and the step. A spring (86) is secured between the mounting bracket and the pivot arm for biasing the pivot arm. The spring creates a tensile force. A lock arm (72) is pivotally interconnected between the mounting bracket and the step. The lock arm defines a lock surface (84) engaging the pivot arm while the tensile force of the spring locks the step in order to retain the step in one of the retracted and deployed positions.

L'invention porte sur un ensemble marche destiné à un pare-chocs d'un véhicule à moteur. Une marche est opérationnellement reliée au support de montage et peut bouger entre une position rétractée disposée contre le pare-chocs et une position déployée depuis le pare-chocs. Un bras pivot est relié de manière pivotante entre le support de montage et la marche. Un ressort est fixé entre le support de montage et le bras pivot afin de polariser le bras pivot. Le ressort crée une force de tension. Un bras de verrouillage est relié de manière pivotante entre le support de montage et la marche. Le bras de verrouillage définit une surface de verrouillage qui vient en prise avec le bras pivot afin de maintenir la marche en position rétractée ou déployée.
