ABSTRACT:
Applicant's invention is an improved design for an extendable foot/leg rest assembly for use with a wheelchair. The design utilizes an internal rack and pinion assembly for extending and retracting the telescopic tubing which supports the foot platform against which a user's foot rests. Applicant's design obviates the need for externally protruding pivot arms with their associated safety, weight, and appearance problems.
