ABSTRACT:
A improved footrest includes a supporting bracket which is made from rigid material and a supporting stuffing which is made from soft material. The first supporting bracket has a hollow chamber at its center and is provided with a plurality of elongate slots formed in its wall. The supporting stuffing has a passage defined in the center and a plurality of projecting ribs formed on its outer surface in alignment with the slots of the supporting bracket. A shaft member is received and retained within the passage of the supporting stuffing to provide a rigid support to the supporting stuffing and the supporting bracket. The shaft member has a cylindrical recess at one end and a hole is provided through the outer wall of the shaft member such that the hole is in communication with the recess. A connecting adaptor has a lug at one end and a shaft at the other end. The lug of the connecting adaptor has a hole therein and can be attached to a frame of the motorcycle using a bolt and a nut. The shaft of the connecting adaptor is provided with an annular slot in alignment with the hole of the shaft member. Accordingly, the connecting adaptor is rotatably retained within the shaft member by utilizing a dowel screw which passes through the hole of the shaft member and projects into the annular slot of the shaft of the connecting adaptor. Accordingly, an improved footrest assembly which provides excellent support and frictional contact is achieved.
