FOLDAWAY RAILED BALCONY, PARTICULARLY FOR BOATS
First Claim
1. A foldaway balcony, comprising a platform structure tiltably mounted on a wall, said platform structure being able to assume a closed position in which it is disposed substantially aligned with the wall, and an open position in which it is disposed cantilevered from the wall, and further comprising a railing structure mounted on the platform structure, whereinsaid platform structure includes a box-like support structure and a planar floor structure which are tiltable separately from one another relative to the wall;
- andsaid railing structure includes a plurality of railing elements, said railing elements being hinged at the edge of said support structure of the platform structure, and being tiltable between a stored position in which they lie inside the support structure, and a deployed position in which they stand up relative to the support structure;
wherein when the platform structure switches from the closed position to the open position, the support structure is tilted at first, then the railing elements switch from the stored position to the deployed position, and at last the floor structure is tilted.

Abstract
A foldaway balcony comprises a platform structure tiltably mounted on a wall and a rail structure mounted to the platform structure. The platform structure comprises a box-like support structure and a planar floor structure which are tiltable relative to the wall separately from each other. The rail structure comprises a plurality of rail elements, which are hinged at the edge of the support structure of the platform structure, and are tiltable between a stored position, in which they lay within the support structure, and a deployed position, in which they stand relative to the support structure. When the platform structure moves from the closed position to the open position, first the support structure is tilted, then the rail elements move from the stored position to the deployed position, and finally the floor structure is tilted.
