Abstract
Various structures, such as a stair, bridge, table,
ladder, or stretcher can be folded to a compact
configuration for transportation and/or storage but
rapidly extended for deployment as a rigid, load-bearing
device. The structures include a plurality of rows of
rigid plates (1) hinged together about mutually
perpendicular axes. If all of the plates are in a common
plane and a force is applied perpendicular to the hinge
axes, the plates can fold up to a compact form. When one
or more of the rows of plates is swung perpendicular to a
further row of hinged plates, the configuration becomes
rigid and capable of supporting a load.
