Abstract:
A pivoted seat and footrest chair having a seat and footrest at the top and bottom of a pair of vertical supports such that rotation of the seat forward rotates the footrest back as the person rises out of the chair, allowing easy exiting. The center of gravity of the seat and footrest assembly are vertically aligned with or forward of a pivot point when the seat is in the forward position, such that the seat remains in or rotates toward the forward position when unoccupied. Additionally, the seat extends in front of the armrests while the footrest remains under the seat when the seat is in the forward position, such that the seat is easy to access.
