Another patent from Steve Jobs and Apple, but not one you would expect. It covers a glass staircase for use in Apple's retail stores. 
Jobs' aim in designing this staircase was to encourage shoppers to explore the upper floors of Apple's stores. Both the steps and supporting structure are made from glass, with steel handrails added to combat the feeling of 'levitation' as they are climbed.
Jobs' strengths as an industrial designer and shrewd businessman come together in this design, along with his drive for perfection in the smallest details of his company.
