A chair with a footrest mechanism includes two upright rods, a seat cushion arranged between the two upright rods, and a footrest mechanism. A hanging part is arranged on each of both sides of the seat cushion, and both ends of the hanging part are fixedly connected to the seat cushion. The middle part of the hanging part is fixed to the upper end of the upright rod. The footrest mechanism includes a footrest part, a connecting rod and a pull belt. A first end portion of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the footrest part, and a second end portion of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to the seat cushion. A first end portion of the pull belt is fixedly connected to the footrest part, and a second end portion of the pull belt is connected to the hanging part.

Apparatus to facilitate putting on and removing footwear. The apparatus may be swivelably coupled to a chair where handles are provided to rotate an arm which is coupled to a footrest. By moving the arm, which is at seat level, the footrest is movable between a stowed position and an operative, forward position.

An adjustable foot support platform configured to be extendable from at least one side of a bed having a mattress and its supporting structure. In particular, the foot support plate is configured for placement below a mattress and above its supporting structure. The foot support plate may be hingedly pivotable to orient the foot support plate from a parallel orientation in relation to the mattress and its supporting structure to a perpendicular orientation in relation to the mattress and its supporting structure. A user may place their foot on the foot support plate while they are seated upon the mattress of the bed.

The disclosure features physical activity devices that include (a) a central footrest, configured to receive at least a portion of a foot of a user, (b) a plurality of elongated sleeves, each sleeve having an inner and an outer surface, and being configured to at least partially enclose an elongated tubular support member, and having spaced grooves in its outer surface extending generally perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the sleeve, and (c) at least two loops extending from the footrest, the loops being configured to be received by the grooves so that the sleeves support the footrest above a surface on which the tubular support members are positioned. The disclosure also features methods of using such devices.

This invention relates in general to supports and in particular to collapsible portable travel supports for use in conjunction with a seat during travel. The support device has a main body of flexible material and a self-deploying support structure has a plurality of hollow sections having a slip joint connection and a chord secured to opposing ends of the structure and passing longitudinally through all sections. The self-deploying support structure is transformable between storage and deployed configurations where the slip joint connections of each section are mated to form a unitary structure. An attachment mechanism associated with the body attaches the body to the self-deploying support structure. The main body and self-deploying support structure are configured to form a self-supporting structure spaced apart from the seat in use and from a structure in front of the seat supporting the user.

A foot and/or leg support device for a chair, the chair including a central post having a base, a seat supported by the central post, and a plurality of support legs which branch from the base of the central post. In an example, the support device includes: a connector for attachment to the central post of the chair, wherein the connector comprises a circular interior having a radius of curvature substantially equal to a radius of the central post of the chair; a cantilever arm which extends from the connector; a pivot which connects the cantilever arm to the connector, the pivot being configured for vertical pivoting; and a support frame located at a distal end of the cantilever arm for supporting a foot and/or leg of a user.

A foot swing is disclosed. The foot swing including a first support having a first leg pivotally connected to a second leg; a second support spaced from the first support, the second support having a first leg pivotally connected to a second leg; and a foot support extending between the first and second supports, the foot support including a first distal end pivotally connected to the first support and a second distal end pivotally connected to the second support to permit the foot support to move relative to the first and second supports.

An apparatus, method, and system of supporting a person such as a hunter or photographer in a seated position includes a cantilever arm extending from a supporting structure and a seat that is eccentrically mounted to the cantilevered arm. The cantilevered arm and eccentric seat can be attached to a supporting structure to allow the cantilever arm to pivot at its end opposite its seat over a range. Optionally the seat and cantilevered arm can be cinched along a tree or other vertical structures, placed on ground supported structure, or on other elevating structures.
