A footrest that has a central member that has slots formed in it to receive tabs. Attached to the sides of this member are two members that are hinged to the central member. These members have tabs that fit into the slots on the central member. In this way, the footrest can be folded relatively flat in a small square or rectangular form and then be unpacked and unfolded for use. Once the tabs are secure, the footrest is ready for use. In addition, the footrest has open ends that allow a user to carry the footrest. A handle can also be provided to assist in opening the device. Finally, snap clips (with or without magnets) can be used to secure the tab faces in place for storage.

The height-adjusting stool is a seat, which may change height between a minimum height and a maximum height by activating a motor to move a scissor jack located beneath the seat. The motor may be battery-operated. A plurality of wheels may allow the height-adjusting stool to be repositioned by rolling to one side or the other. One or more wheel locks may prevent the plurality of wheels from rolling when stationary positioning is desired. A three-position switch may allow the user to move the seat up or down or to cease motion of the seat.

A multipurpose productivity device may be provided comprising an elongate support member, one or more horizontal support bars and a plurality of terminal feet. The elongate support member may have a high-curvature portion and a low-curvature portion, where the low-curvature portion comprises two substantially parallel segments. The one or more horizontal support bars may couple together the two substantially parallel segments. The plurality of terminal feet may be disposed at terminal ends of the elongate support member.

The invention relates to the field of ergonomic furniture. The device (1) comprises an upper support element (8) for supporting the thighs and a lower support element (9) for supporting the legs or tibias, that can be separated by an open space (11) or recess for the knees. An assembly (7) formed by the two support elements (8, 9) is mounted so that it pivots around a horizontal axis (A) on a bearing structure (2, 6), wherein rotation of the assembly (7) enables the support elements (8, 9) to accompany the lower limbs of a user during a transition from one use position to another. The device (1) is incorporated into an apparatus for maintaining a standing or sitting-standing position, having at least one footrest (4, 5). The device is applicable to the arrangement of a workstation, such as a computer workstation or an industrial workstation.
