Abstract: An electric height adjustable desk with synchronous moving footrest, method of use, and a rotatable footrest assembly. The desk comprises: a desktop; two electric height adjustable desk leg members; two horizontal base members; and a rotatable footrest assembly. The rotatable footrest assembly comprises: two footrest frame members; two pivot spring connection units; and a rotatable footrest unit comprising a U-shaped foot bar member connected on each end to a pivot spring connection unit. Each spring connection unit comprises: a gas spring; a tension member; and both are connected to a pivot plate member. The tension member and the gas spring work together to rotate the footrest unit to a horizontal position while the desktop rises, and to a vertical position while the desktop is lowered. The tension member may further comprise an extension member to delay rotating the footrest unit until the desktop has reached a selected height.

Abstract: The articulating foot-elevating support includes a base into which a hydraulically actuated cylinder of telescoping sections arises therefrom to support a foot-shaped footrest thereon. The articulating foot-elevating support is designed for a specific use of aiding an end user in tying shoes onto his/her feet. The footrest can articulate about a pivot point atop the topmost telescoping section in a manner consistent with that of an ankle of a foot. The footrest includes an imprint of a foot thereon, which is a visual aid to an end user as to placement and orientation of a foot to be placed thereon. The hydraulically actuated cylinder includes multiple telescoping sections that enable the footrest elevation to be raised and lowered. The foot-shaped footrest may include a heel stop that prevents a foot from sliding off of the foot-shaped footrest when in use.
Abstract: The present invention provides for a universal foot assembly having a foot pedal that may be attached to a desk or workstation that can be adjustably configured to allow for the foot pedal to vibrate, rotate, or move in a number of directions. The foot assembly comes as part of a kit and is configurable for retrofit attachment to existing desks and workstations. The foot assembly helps students having ADD or ADHD expend nervous energy. It also provides a valuable exercise mechanism for those trying to improve their physical health.

Abstract: The invention relates to a chair comprising a seat part (2), at least one one leg part (3), at least one foot part (5) that consists of a predetermined plurality of foot elements (4) and at least one spring assembly (6). According to the invention, at least one designated foot element (4) and/or a sub-section (4?) of said element is configured to be mobile and is subject to a resotring moment under the action of a load.
Abstract: A motorcycle foot peg is constructed to absorb shocks and impacts that would otherwise be transmitted to a rider's foot during hard landings of a motorcycle. The impact and shock absorbing motorcycle foot peg has particular applicability to off-road motorcycles. The foot peg has a rigid mounting platform including a mounting plate from which a rigid foot support projects outwardly in cantilevered fashion. The foot support has a flat upper bearing surface and supports a foot pad formed of a resiliently compressible elastomeric material having a Shore A hardness of between about 30 and 60. A foot contact plate is located atop the elastomeric slab. The foot contact plate, the elastomeric slab, and foot support are connected together by bolts passing therethrough. The foot contact plate thereby resides in a floating relationship relative to the foot support and can move both toward the foot support and laterally relative to the foot support to cushion the rider's foot against shocks and impacts.
