| 052188000 | Tread unit on horizontal tread member connected to riser | 13 |
| 20080216422 | Stair system - A stair system including an upper tread having a substantially planar body portion, a stair nose portion located at one side of the planar body portion, and a dado located behind the stair nose portion, at least one lower tread, the lower tread having a substantially planar body portion, a stair nose portion located at one side of the planar body portion, a dado located behind the stair nose portion, and a groove located at a side opposite the stair nose portion, and at least two risers, each riser having a substantially planar body portion. In the stair system, one of the at least two risers is receivable between the dado of the upper tread and the groove of the lower tread and the other of the at least two risers is receivable in the dado of the lower tread. Methods for assembling a stair system are also provided. | 09-11-2008 |
| 20090056245 | MODULAR STAIRCASE SYSTEM AND KIT FOR ERECTING A STAIRCASE - The present invention relates to a novel method and modular assembly for producing a staircase. The modular staircase allows one with little to no skill to quickly and easily order and install a modular staircase at reasonable cost with no specialized technical skill necessary. | 03-05-2009 |
| 20090094907 | STEP FOR MODULAR STAIRCASES AND RELATIVE STAIRCASE - A step for modular staircases, preferably produced by moulding using a thermoplastic technopolymer, comprises at least a main body ( | 04-16-2009 |
| 20110146169 | STAIRWAY - A stairway having an alternating series of risers and treads wherein two risers and a tread form a step structure for use in constructing the stairway. The step structure including a first riser having a front portion and a rear portion, a tread having a support surface and an opposite surface, a second riser having a front portion and a rear portion, and wherein the tread is positioned between the rear portion of the first riser and the front portion of the second riser and wherein the second riser of one step structure becomes the first riser of the next-up step structure. | 06-23-2011 |
| 20110214369 | Decking System - A decking system comprises a ledger board for mounting on an upright supporting surface, a beam, a plurality of joists for spanning between the ledger board and the beam, and a plurality of deck boards for spanning across the joists in which all of the components can be mounted to one another by interlocking engagement of various connectors so that no additional fasteners are required for assembly. The components are formed of extruded and molded materials which do not require any maintenance. A railing system and a stair system are also provided which similarly connect by interlocking engagement of the components. | 09-08-2011 |
| 20110225906 | STEPPED STRUCTURE - A stepped structure ( | 09-22-2011 |
| 20110232214 | Method, Component and Structure for Constructing a Dual-Use Staircase - A method of converting a traditional staircase into a dual-use staircase, for reducing the stepping height and knee stress in stairs climbing and descending, comprises: providing a plurality of lifting modules and a plurality of extending modules; connecting the plurality of lifting and extending modules in pairs to the original steps respectively; and optionally connecting a plurality of dividers in between said lifting and extending modules respectively. | 09-29-2011 |
| 20120266551 | TREAD MODULE - A tread module ( | 10-25-2012 |
| 20130212960 | MODULES FOR CONVERTING A STAIRWAY - Modules for converting at least a portion of an existing stairway into an alternating stairway are described. The modules may be installed over an existing stairway to improve accessibility of the stairway for the very young, elderly, ill, injured, or disabled. Installation of the modules creates an alternating stairway presenting a step height that is about one-half the step height of the existing stairway, without appreciably changing the horizontal run or height of the stairway. | 08-22-2013 |
| 20130255168 | STAIRCASE AND METHOD FOR CONSTRUCTION - A staircase and method for producing the same. The staircase is produced by double routing channels for sub-treads and sub-risers and capping risers and capping treads. These sub-treads and sub-risers are assembled into staircase stringers that have pre-routed channels that are sufficient to install sub-treads and sub-risers having a particular thickness and having room for subsequent placement or installation of capping treads and risers by sliding them laterally into the channels created by the double routing of the stringers. This creates a more finished look to be (the) staircase while avoiding damages to the capping treads and risers that might occur during building construction. | 10-03-2013 |
| 20140290159 | Refaced Staircase - A refaced staircase having original treads and original risers with replacement treads and replacement risers is disclosed. The original treads include nosings that overhang the original risers. A replacement riser extends down from each original tread, the replacement tread being placed over the original tread and overhanging both the nosing of the original tread and the replacement riser. The replacement tread may include a scotia facing the original tread that hides the seam between the original tread and the replacement riser. | 10-02-2014 |
| 20140373462 | PREFABRICATED STAIRCASE AND FINISHING ARRANGEMENT AND INSTALLATION METHOD THEREFOR - A staircase of skeletal form is prefabricated and is provided with prefabricated decorative cladding finishing plates for the treads, the risers and the stringer boards, the plates being pre-drilled for ease of assembly, a plurality of finishing plates can be preassembled, or factory assembled, together before installation over a portion of the prefabricated staircase, and the installation method thereof. | 12-25-2014 |
| 20160060875 | STAIRWAY TREAD SUPPORT DEVICE AND SYSTEM - A tread support device for stairways is generally triangular with two parts which pivot in relationship to one another to allow selection of any desired riser height. Precalculated groups of holes on each of the two parts overlap, with different sets of holes overlapping at different riser heights separated by different increments of ⅛ inch. An alignment guide allows easy selection of the desired riser height, after which the holes which are aligned and overlapping are fastened together to keep the device whole. A complete system consists of left-handed and right-handed tread support units, along with right and left handed units designed to meet the base of the steps with adjustable bolts. A stairway may be built using uncut stringers by use of the invention. | 03-03-2016 |
