Abstract
An ottoman is incorporated with a frame of a seat. The ottoman comprises a pivotal base structure pivotally connected to the seat cushion frame. The pivotal base structure is movable between retracted and projected positions with respect to the seat cushion frame. A sliding board structure is slidably supported by the pivotal base structure. The sliding board structure is movable between retracted and projected positions with respect to the pivotal base structure. An electric drive mechanism is employed for synchronously moving both of the pivotal base structure and the sliding board structure between the retracted and projected positions with the aid of electric power.
