Abstract: A footrest system is disclosed. The footrest cushion is supported by a frame that is hinge-mounted onto the front of a chair frame. The rotation of the footrest frame by a user creates, through a mechanical system, rotation in a spool. The spool is wound with first and second lines, each being wound in the reverse direction as the other. The lines are connected through rerouting systems and then anchored to the translating member such that they pull the member out upon a deployment, and return the member back in when the footrest is retracted.
