Abstract
An adjustable foot rest is disclosed which comprises a floor stand, a foot plate which is pivotally mounted to the floor stand for height and inclination adjustment and an apparatus interengaged between the floor stand and the foot plate for adjusting the inclination and height of the foot plate. A trackway is defined on the foot plate which receives a rotatable and slidably mounted actuating shaft. A rack is defined on the floor stand which is engaged with a pinion connected to the actuating shaft. The rack extends along a horizontal line and the trackway extends at an acute angle to the rack so that rotation of the shaft causes movement of the shaft along the rack which in turn moves the trackway with respect to the floor stand to adjust the height and inclination of the foot plate.
