A reclinable passenger seat (10) having a seat frame mounting a seat bottom (19), a seat back (15) extending upwardly from the seat bottom (19), and a legrest (21) assembly mounted adjacent a forward end of the seat bottom (19) for being selectively extended generally downwardly and outwardly from the seat bottom for supporting the legs of the passenger. The legrest assembly (21) also includes a legrest diaphragm (34) mounted for pivotal movement in relation to the seat bottom (19) and a legrest extension diaphragm (35) telescoped within the legrest diaphragm (34) for being selectively extended and retracted relative to the legrest diaphragm (34) to provide an appropriate length leg support for the passenger. The legrest diaphragm (34) and the legrest extension diaphragm (35) each include respective pairs of spaced-apart rails (51,52) and a fabric attached under tension to the rails for forming a taut, resilient support for the legs of the passenger. |
