Benefits of technology

The patent describes a footrest that can be folded up when not in use. When the footrest is unfolded, it forms an angle with the first member and second member to ensure stability when the user's foot is placed on it. Additionally, the footrest has a surface to prevent the foot from slipping and feet-bumpers to prevent the footrest from sliding when there is a lot of pressure applied to it. Overall, this footrest design provides better support and comfort for the user.

Problems solved by technology

There are no devices that are adapted to allow a person to tie his shoelace comfortably without having to put his leg up and rest it on different objects that may or may not be randomly in the area of that person.

Abstract

A footrest useful for supporting a user's foot when tying shoelaces, comprises an elongated support having a longitudinal axis, and a first member and a second member perpendicularly connected to the elongated support wherein at least one of the first member and the second member is adapted to move relative to and about the elongated axis. The first member and the second member are substantially adjacent to one another in a folded position, and the first member and the second member are spread apart in a deployed position for forming an angle therebetween sufficient to ensure stability of the footrest when the user's foot is placed on the elongated support.
