Step assembly for t-post, components therefor and methods of making the same

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The steps recited in the prior art have certain drawbacks as some are too heavy to transport, others are adaptable to wood posts only and the one for T-shaped posts is bulky for carrying in a pocket.
The step assembly of this invention overcomes the shortcomings of previous post steps with a substantially flat, foldable step assembly which readily fits in a hip pocket or a jacket pocket for ready use by a hunter, farmer or another wishing to scale a barbed wire fence having spaced apart T-shaped posts.
Therefore, it is an object of this invention to provide a step assembly for use in climbing over a fence comprising at least one elongated wire affixed to multiple spaced apart T-shaped posts, the step assembly comprising a first step and a second step, the first step engaging the outer surface of the flat cross bar of the T-shaped post, the second step engaging the perpendicular leg of the T-shaped post wherein the first step is initially separate from the second step and is releasingly engageable thereto.
It is a further object of this invention to provide a step assembly for use in climbing over a fence having T-shaped posts, the step assembly comprising a first step and a second step, the first step engaging the outer surface of the flat cross bar of the T-shaped post, the second step engaging the perpendicular leg of the T-shaped post wherein the first step is releasingly lockable to the second step.
It is still another object of this invention to provide a step assembly for use in climbing over a fence having T-shaped posts, the step assembly comprising a first step and a second step, the first step engaging the outer surface of the flat cross bar of the T-shaped post, the second step engaging the perpendicular leg of the T-shaped post wherein the first step is disposed above the second step.
It is yet a further object of this invention to provide a step assembly for use in climbing over a fence having T-shaped posts, the step assembly comprising a first step and a second step, the first step engaging the outer surface of the flat cross bar of the T-shaped post, the second step engaging the perpendicular leg of the T-shaped post wherein the first step is releasingly lockable to the second step and comprises a protrusion on the first step engaging a recess on the second step
