Abstract
A footrest to be supported on a floor for which the height of the footrest from the floor and the angle of a foot support surface on the footrest with respect to the floor are independently adjustable. Projections on one portion of the footrest are movable in slots in another between spaced retaining portions in which the projections are frictionally retained to change the height of the footrest; and a platform defining the foot support surface is pivotable against the restraint of a friction clutch to change its angle with respect to the floor.
