Since the leg lengths of each user are different, the user will first adjust the top surface of the footrest according to his or her own leg length. At this time, the staff will first adjust the height of the footrest. When separating the lifting frame and the fixed plate, the user will press the footrest downward with his or her feet. The downward moving footrest will drive the fixing strip, the support strip and the connecting plate to move downward synchronously, and squeeze the spring on the surface of the fixing column during the downward movement. Then, the lifting frame and the fixed plate will be folded so that the rear side of the lifting frame fits with the front side of the fixed plate, so that the limit strip slides and engages with the limit groove, so that the support strip can be fixed at the current position, and at the same time, the fixing strip and the footrest are fixed at the current height, thereby increasing the applicability of the footrest.

[0015] 3. When the footrest is not needed, the user will push the footrest upwards. Before they are fully fitted, the user will first use the connecting plate to lift the interception bar, and then fully fit the top surface of the footrest with the front side of the lifting frame. Then, the user puts down the lifted interception bar. The interception bar will slide downward under the action of gravity, so that the rear side of the interception bar will fit with the front side of the vertically placed footrest, preventing the vertically placed footrest from separating from the lifting frame. The footrest can be folded up to reduce the space occupied and facilitate on-site storage. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
