Abstract
A chair with an extendable footrest for accommodating users of different height includes a seat frame, a slide frame mounted to slide on the seat frame between a retracted and extended position and a footrest frame mounted on the slide frame to move between down and up positions. A rotatable drive shaft is mounted on the seat frame and an elongated drive arm is secured at one end to the drive shaft. An extending linkage is connected between the other end of the drive arm and the slide frame to move the footrest frame from the down to the up position and thereafter move the slide frame from the retracted to the extended position, when the drive shaft is rotated in one direction. A retracting linkage connected between the said other end of the drive arm and the slide frame serves to the slide frame from the extended to the retracted position with the footrest frame in the up position when the drive shaft is rotated in the opposite direction. The chair may include a massage mechanism incorporated anywhere within the chair, including the footrest.
