ABSTRACT:
A folding footrest has a thin, flat rectangular platform with a foot-supporting upper surface and hinges at two opposed short sides that pivotally connect to a pair of flat legs. The legs support the platform in an elevated position above a surface on which the legs rest. This provides an elevated footrest, especially for the seated short person. The hinges permit the legs to swing the from the vertical operative position in which both legs are parallel to one another and extended downward at right angles to the platform to the folded, transport position lying flat on top of upper surface of the platform. By covering the soiled foot-supporting surface of the platform with the folded legs, a more sanitary folded package is provided for carrying in pocket or purse. The hinge cooperates with the legs and platform to stop the legs from moving toward one another when in the operative position. A removable strut extends between, and engages, both legs in the operative position to prevent the legs from moving away from one another. The strut also serves as a toe hold for moving the footrest about.
