Abstract
A footrest assembly comprises a footrest () made of plastic material, and a clip () provided on the floor-facing side of the footrest to receive therein a threaded stud () fixed on a floor (). The clip () includes a first clip component () having an engagement pawl () adapted to engage with the stud, and a second clip component () capable of releasing the engagement between the engagement pawl of the first clip component () and the stud. The first clip component () is formed as a tubular body having the engagement pawl on the inside thereof and is immovably fixed to the footrest. The second clip component () is received in a tubular portion of the first clip component in a rotatable manner about the axis of the tubular portion to allow selective angular rotation of the second clip component () between an engagement position (FIG.) where the engagement pawl of the first clip component is allowed to engage with the stud and a release position where the engagement pawl () is bent not to engage with the stud ().
