ABSTRACT:
A portable leg rest having a thin, rectangular platform with a leg-supporting upper surface and hinges that pivotally connect to a seating portion that is placed on a chair, bench or sofa. The leg rest is extended and supported by folding legs that pivot from the underside of the leg rest and position on the floor or ground. This provides an elevated leg rest in which the height and angle is adjusted by manually varying the length of the supporting legs.
The hinges permit the leg rest to swing from the near horizontal position downward to the folded, transport position lying flat against the lower surface of the seating portion. Stops on the leg rest support leg pivots limit the distance it can move forward of the leg rest.
The assembly can be quickly and conveniently lifted from the seating surface, folded essentially flat, and held temporarily closed for storage or carried to another seating surface. The assembly is opened up quickly by disengaging the hook and loop fastenings, unsnapping the leg rest support from the clip, opening the seat, placing it upon the chair, bench or sofa and placing the support on the floor or ground.
