Abstract
In concept, each vertical plane flange of each ottoman-mounting bracket of the resiliently releasing ottoman construction disclosed in the present inventor's commonly-assigned copending application Ser. No. 857,323 is elaborated upon by being divided into two elements, namely a laterally outer and an intermediate element, which are pivotally joined at a transverse horizontal axis pivot joint located near the upper ends of these two vertical plane flange elements. The tension coil spring is mounted between a transverse flange, which is provided on the laterally outer element, near the upper end of such element, and an anchoring site provided near the lower end of intermediate element. Accordingly, the ottoman may be pivoted up or down and/or displaced away from the front of the chair, at both sides equally or unequally, against restorative force provided by the tension coil spring on each ottoman-mounting bracket.
