Abstract: A foot and leg rest deployment mechanism prevents the leg rest from rotating into an upright, deployed orientation until fully translated. Likewise, the deployment mechanism prevents the leg rest from translating while in an upright orientation. A rotation arm with a rotation locking channel prevents rotation until a locking arm is disengaged from the rotation locking channel via the locking arm engaging a translation locking portion of a translation channel. A single, linear actuator applies a force to cause both translation and rotation where the leg rest deployment mechanism controls the order of steps of deployment.

Abstract: An extension assembly for a procedure chair leg pad includes a frame and a leg pad assembly. The frame attaches to deployment tracks of the procedure chair through frame arms and includes a slot(s). At least one slot includes detents configured to receive and selectively restrain a guide member. The leg pad assembly is disposed in proximity to the frame and includes a guide member(s) extending therefrom, through a slot and movable relative to the frame. The leg pad assembly may be moved forward and rearward by manual adjustment, moving the guide members through their respective slots. Detents along the slots restrain the guide member at predefined positions until sufficient force is applied to overcome the geometry of the detent. A detent(s) is configured to prevent vertical movement of the leg pad assembly when stowed vertically, but still allow movement in a deployed position.

The seat assembly further includes a leg restraint assembly coupled to the seat portion. The leg restraint assembly includes an extension bar extendable between a stowed position oriented with the seat portion and a deployed position. In the deployed position the extension bar extends from the seat portion and facilitates restraining an occupant seated in the seat assembly.

Abstract: A legrest assembly adapted for use with an aircraft passenger seat including a pair of spaced parallel support members adapted to extend forward from the front of the seat, a legrest pivotally supported on ends of the support members configured to pivot from near vertical when stowed to near horizontal when deployed, a brake mechanism for stopping forward deployment of the legrest, and an actuator for driving forward deployment of the legrest.

Abstract: A foldable leg rest has a slide base, a first folding assembly, a second folding assembly, a first stage drive mechanism and a second stage drive mechanism. The slide base has a slide frame. The first folding assembly has a first frame pivotally connected to the slide frame. The second folding assembly has a second frame pivotally connected to the first frame. In use, the first stage drive mechanism is operated to drive the first frame to pivot relative to the slide frame and the second stage drive mechanism is operated to drive the second frame to pivot relative to the first frame. Therefore, the legs of a sitter can be stretched and placed on the folding assemblies so as to enhance comfort and minimize fatigue.
