Adjustable footrest
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A footrest for supporting the feet of a user above a support surface comprising:
- a base for supporting the footrest on the support surface; and
at least one intermediate member having a peripheral outer edge surface, the peripheral outer edge surface rotatably supported by a base surface and slidably interfitted with a portion of the base allowing for relative rotation about a first axis; and
a platform having an upper surface for accommodating the feet of the user, the platform rotatably coupled to the intermediate member for relative rotation about a second axis offset from the first axis so that selective rotations about the first and second axes provide for height and orientation adjustment of the upper surface of the platform relative to the support surface.

Abstract
A footrest has a platform with an upper surface for supporting a user'"'"'s feet above a ground surface. The footrest is supported by a base portion on the ground surface. An intermediate member is rotatably coupled to the base portion and to the platform for relative rotation about first and second axes, respectively. The first and second axes are offset from each other so that selective rotations about said first and second axes provide for height and orientation adjustment of the platform relative to the ground surface.

13. A footrest for supporting the feet of a user above a support surface comprising:
-
a base; at least one intermediate member having at least a generally circular perimeter edge portion, the generally circular perimeter edge portion supported by a concave base surface and slidably interfitted with the concave base surface allowing for rotation of the intermediate member relative to the base about a first axis; and a platform having an upper surface for accommodating the feet of the user, the platform rotatably coupled to the intermediate member about a second axis offset from the first axis for rotating in relation to the intermediate member. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. A footrest for supporting the feet of a user above a support surface comprising:
-
a base for supporting the footrest on the support surface comprising left and right base portions and a locking member; left and right intermediate members having a generally circular perimeter portion rotatably coupled respectively to the left and right base portions allowing for relative rotation about a first axis; a plurality of locking features located on the circular perimeter portion of one member of the left and right intermediate members, the locking features engageable with the locking member of the base for restricting rotation of the one member relative to the base; and a platform having an upper surface for accommodating the feet of the user, the platform positioned between the intermediate members and rotatably coupled to the intermediate members for relative rotation about a second axis offset in parallel from the first axis so that selective rotations about the first and second axes provide for height and orientation adjustment of the upper surface of the platform relative to the support surface. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
