Abstract: A foldable deck chair having a leg support unit that can be manually retracted into a stored position beneath the chair seat and raised into a horizontally extended position in front of the seat by a person seated in the chair. A pair of support members are rotatably supported upon the front legs of the chair so that they can be rotated by a person seated in the chair between raised upper and a lowered down position. A leg support frame is movably mounted in parallel guideways formed in the support member and the motion of the frame is regulated with that of the supporting arms through a control linkage so that the frame is retracted along the support members when the members are lowered into the down position and is extended along the support members when the members are raised to the up position.

Abstract: A foldable deck chair having a lever actuated leg rest that includes a pair of support members that are arranged to swing upwardly from a stored position between the front legs of the chair to a fully raised horizontal position in front of the chair. Extendable arms are slidably mounted upon the support members and move outwardly as the support members are moved from the stored position to the extended position to increase the length of the rest.
