ABSTRACT:
A rest for a vehicle for supporting the feet and/or legs of a passenger comprising a housing (2) having an electrically powered pivotal lid (3) and defining a storage. The lid may be pivoted between an open position in which access to the storage is permitted and support provided for the feet and/or calves of the passenger and a closed position. The rest is mounted for movement in a passenger footwell on a pair of rails and a motorised pinion (11) runs on a rack (10) to move the rest up and down the rails (9). The arrangement provides a comfortable adjustable leg/foot support which is especially beneficial on long journeys. At same time accessible and convenient extra storage is provided.
