ABSTRACT:
A chair for invalids and patients is provided herein. Such chair includes front and rear legs and a seat connecting the legs. The seat includes seating portion having a front edge located at a height above the knees of a typical adult and a back rest. Preferably, although not essentially, the legs rise above the seat, and arm rests are secured to the top portions of the legs above the seat with one arm rest on either side of the seat. The chair further includes a foot rest having a pivotal connection by an over-center mechanism at its rear edge to the lower portions of the front legs of the chair. The foot rest is pivotally secured in a particularly-recited manner, so that it is pivotable from a substantially horizontal position to a substantially vertical position. The foot rest, when in its in vertical stowed position lies within the confines of the legs of the chair, and when in its horizontal position extends forwardly of the chair. The foot rest includes an abutment stop of a particularly-recited construction which is situated completely along the rear edge of the foot rest and extending beyond the side edges thereof, the abutment stop being adapted to limit downward pivoting movement of the foot rest by abutment against the rear face of an associated front leg.
