Abstract

A footstool for recliner chairs having a linkage mechanism that is operable by conventional occupant controlled actuating mechanisms. The footstool comprises a base panel and an intermediate panel pivotally interconnected by the linkage mechanism so that when the footstool is extended, the two panels form a substantially uninterrupted leg support surface with the seat of the chair. The chair is thereby converted to a chaise lounge. When the footstool is retracted, the intermediate panel is stored behind the base panel.
