  • Patent number: 9888776
    Abstract: A seating/reclining furniture comprising a seat part, a backrest part, and a cantilever support structure. A foot support device is provided which comprises a support frame and a first and a second foot support portion, and the first foot support portion is pivotally mounted on the support frame and can be adjusted between a storage position and a working position. The second foot support portion can be adjusted linearly relative to the first foot support portion between a retracted position and an extended position. The foot support device comprises a working device which causes the first foot support portion to be pivoted relative to the support frame by means of a first fitting and the second foot support portion to be moved relative to the first foot support portion by means of a second fitting independently of a change of the relative position of the backrest and the seat part.
