Abstract:

A stool is provided for placement in a closet and which may be selectively extended or stored away. The stool comprises a horizontal support and a seat rotatably attached to the horizontal support. A first leg is attached to the horizontal support, and a swing arm is rotatably attached to the horizontal support. A second leg is attached to the swing arm at an end opposite from the horizontal support. A mounting flange pivotally connects the horizontal support to a closet partition or wall. The three pivot points (i. e. , the seat, the swing arm, and the horizontal support) allow for the stool to be selectively moved between a storage position in which the stool is stored in the closet and a use position.
