ABSTRACT:
An ottoman apparatus for a vehicle seat includes a driving shaft with an end which is tiltably connected to a front end of the seat, and includes a supporting frame connected to the driving shaft so as to be linearly movable over the driving shaft. The supporting frame is movable between a stowage position below the front end of the seat and a foot resting position in front of the seat. The supporting frame and the driving shaft are approximately vertically arranged when the supporting frame is stopped at the stowage position below the front end of the seat. The driving shaft is tilted to a substantially horizontal position by linearly moving the supporting frame over the driving shaft according to the movement of the supporting frame to the foot resting position in front of the seat.
