<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a comfortable ottoman device, regardless of the height difference of a seated person, by lifting an ottoman body at a position with a cushion length arbitrarily adjusted therein. <P>SOLUTION: The ottoman device includes: a variable-cushion-length mechanism 11 that has an operating portion, which is arranged at a front end portion of a seat cushion corresponding to the inner sides of knees of a seated person, and that varies a cushion length by adjusting the longitudinal position of the front end portion of the seat cushion by means of the operating portion; an ottoman body 21 that extends from the front end portion of the seat cushion toward toes of the seated person; and ottoman operation mechanisms 23, 24 operable to reduce a flexion angle of the ottoman body at the front end portion of the seat cushion, so as to bring the ottoman body into a lifted condition. The ottoman body is provided as a unit with the operating portion of the variable-cushion-length mechanism, and the variable-cushion-length mechanism and the ottoman operation mechanisms operate independently of each other. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
