ABSTRACT:
An invalid chair for handicapped persons designed to facilitate sitting down and rising in which the seat of the chair and the footrest are a single frame and both are pivotally mounted to a front cross member so that the seat will be moved pivotally up and forward as the footrest moves down and back to thus assist the person in rising from the chair and vice versa the seat will move pivotally down and back as the footrest moves up and forward and in addition a plurality of resilient springs or stretchable straps will resist the downward movement of the seat to assist the invalid in a seating operation and resist the progressive upward pivotal movement of the chair's footrest. The chair when empty will be biased to hold the footrest down and seat up ready to accept a person on the footrest and when the person steps upon the footrest and leans back in a sitting position, the weight of the chair occupant will automatically produce a pivotal movement of the footrest and seat and be partially retarded in its pivotal movement by the resilient stretchable straps.
