ABSTRACT:
A medical examination table having a leg and foot support assembly that may be pivoted between a raised position, where it is generally coplanar with the seat section of the table, and any of a variety of lowered positions. The assembly includes a frame pivotally connected to the seat section and a footrest extension which is capable not only of being extended and retracted in the general plane of the frame but also of being pivoted into foot-supporting positions disposed at substantially right angles to the frame. Such adjustments are accomplished without the need for attaching or detaching any components of the assembly. Should the assembly be in a generally vertical position and engage an obstruction as the table is lowered (as where the table is equipped with a power drive for raising and lowering), the support assembly will retract automatically to avoid injury that might otherwise result.
