  • FOOTREST
    Publication number: 20070278765
    Abstract: A footrest includes a tube, a pin and a detent. The tube includes an insert, a skid-proof section formed together with the insert, a tunnel defined therein and an aperture defined in the insert so that the aperture is in communication with the tunnel. The pin includes a recess defined therein between a slope and an upright wall. The detent is positioned in the aperture and the recess. The pin is movable in the tunnel between a first position where the slope pushes the detent so that the detent sticks from the aperture and a second position where the detent retreats in the aperture and the recess so that insert and the detent can be inserted through an aperture defined in a prong of a rear fork of a motorcycle or bicycle.
