Abstract
The present device is directed to a leg rest for a seat, such as an aircraft seat, and includes a body having a generally flat support surface, a pivoting mechanism for mounting the body so as to pivot about a front edge of the seat squab so that the surface of the seat squab and the support surface of the body form a dihedron with variable angles. The leg rest further includes an extension mechanism that moves from a retracted position to various unfolded positions in order to adjustably extend the body of the leg rest on its side opposite to the pivoting mechanism, a roller shutter and a guidance mechanism for deploying the roller shutter when the extension mechanism is unfolded so that the roller shutter comes in line with the support surface of the body of the leg rest.
