Abstract
A step arrangement comprises a frame, an upper step, a lower step, and a linking element. The upper step is, relative to the connected frame, pivotable around a first geometrical axis to allow the upper step to be moved from a folded position in a storage state of the step arrangement to an unfolded position, the lower step following the movement of the upper step. The linking element, interconnecting the upper and lower steps, is, relative to the upper step, pivotable around a second geometrical axis which extends in a direction which is substantially perpendicular to the direction of extension of the first geometrical axis, in order to allow the lower step to be moved along an arc of a geometrical circle so that the lower step becomes spaced apart from the upper step in a completely unfolded position of the lower step in in-use state of the step arrangement.
