Abstract

An ottoman for a chair or sofa wherein the mechanism which carries the ottoman allows it to pivot upwardly or downwardly from its supporting bracket of an obstruction is encountered as the ottoman is retracted. In the event the ottoman pivots in either direction more than a selected angle, the ottoman remains in the pivoted position after the obstruction is removed unless a force is applied to return it to the normal position.
