ABSTRACT:
A footrest including a frame having a base portion for placement on a supporting surface and a standard portion projecting upwardly from the base portion. The standard portion has a pair of substantially parallel horizontally spaced apart uprights, and a pair of substantially parallel horizontally spaced apart struts, each strut having an upper end joined to an upper end of a different one of the uprights by a joining portion and the joined uprights and struts sloping upwardly toward each other. Also included in the footrest is a platform defining a substantially planar surface straddled between the joining portions and having edge portions disposed adjacent to the joined uprights and struts; and a support mechanism engaged between each of the edge portions and the adjacent joined upright and strut, each support mechanism having an upright support slidably engaged between the adjacent upright and the platform and a strut support spaced from the upright support and slidably engaged between the adjacent strut and the platform. Each support mechanism is shaped and arranged to permit upward movement of the platform with respect to the frame and includes an adjustment mechanism allowing adjustment of the spacing between each pair of the spaced apart upright and strut supports.
