CA 2170959

A chair for invalids and patients is provided herein. Such chair includes front and rear legs and a seat connecting the legs. The seat includes seating portion having a front edge located at a height above the knees of a typical adult and a back rest. Preferably, although not essentially the legs rise above the seat, and arm rests are secured to the top portions of the legs above the seat with one arm rest on either side of the seat. The chair further includes a foot rest having a pivotal connection by an over-centre mechanism at its rear edge to the lower portions of the front legs of the chair. The foot rest is pivotable from a substantially horizontal position to a substantially vertical position. The foot rest, when in its in vertical stowed position lies within the confines of the legs of the chair, and when in its horizontal position extends forwardly of the chair. The foot rest includes an abutment stop adapted at each lateral edge of the rear edge of the foot rest, the abutment stop being adapted to limit downward pivoting movement of the foot rest by abutment against the rear face of an associated front leg.

Fauteuil pour personnes handicapées et pour patients, constitué de pieds avant et arrière ainsi que d'un siège reliant les pieds. Le siège comprend un bord de devant à une hauteur supérieure aux genoux de l'adulte moyen, ainsi qu'un appui-dos. De préférence, bien que non essentiel, les pieds se prolongent au-dessus du siège, et les appui-bras (un de chaque côté du siège) sont fixés aux parties supérieures des pieds au-dessus du siège. Le fauteuil possède également un repose-pieds muni d'un joint tournant, actionné par un basculeur à son bord arrière, lié aux parties inférieures des pieds avant du fauteuil. Le repose-pieds peut pivoter d'une position essentiellement horizontale à une position essentiellement verticale. Le repose-pieds, lorsqu'il est en position verticale repliée, se trouve dans l'enceinte des pieds du fauteuil. Lorsque en position horizontale, il s'étend vers l'avant du fauteuil. Le repose-pied inclut une butée adaptée à chaque bord latéral du bord arrière du repose-pied. La butée est adaptée pour limiter par blocage le pivotement vers le bas du repose-pieds contre la face arrière du pied avant associé.
