Patent ID: 10863828

Abstract:
A bench with a retractable footrest is an apparatus that compactly stores and effectively conceals a footrest. The apparatus includes a seat panel, a back panel, a first frame, a second frame, a retractable footrest, a storage receptacle, and a slider mechanism. The seat panel and the back panel upholds the user while sitting on the apparatus. The first frame and the second frame, together, connects the seat panel and the back panel. The first frame and the second frame allow the seat panel and the back panel to open and close with each other. The retractable footrest upholds the calves, and consequently, the feet of the user, alleviating the stress on the knees of the user. The storage receptacle connects the retractable footrest with the seat panel and houses the retractable footrest. The slider mechanism allows a user to retract and extend the retractable footrest within the storage receptacle.
