Abstract

Storable legrest assembly for a passenger seat offers support for the entire length of an occupant's legs and includes a pair of support arms which cause the padded rear support panel to be generally flush with the front portion of the seat cushion when the cushion is occupied. The arms project generally normally to the rear support panel and have pins at their lower ends which are anchored in downwardly offset portions of elongated slots formed in a pair of brackets carried by the seat frame. During storage, the pins and arms are slid to the rear ends of the slots where they are retained so that the folded legrest panels will be firmly held in a vertical position under the front end of the cushion.
