A tool cabinet has rollers depending from a bottom wall for rolling engagement with an underlying floor. A retractable step has depending legs and spring-loaded casters which support the step so that it can freely roll except when weight is placed on the step driving the legs into engagement with the floor. The step has a vertical slot in which is received a depending arm of an angle bracket which is fixed to a roller slide assembly mounted on the underside of the cabinet so that the step can be horizontally rolled between a stowed position beneath the cabinet and an extended position extending from beneath the cabinet and can move between raised and lowered positions when extended.

Why it's free to use
- Filed May 3, 1993. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended May 3, 2013.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by May 3, 2015.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
