Foot rest

Abstract

The invention is a portable foot rest made from flexible foam. A first and second planar upper surface are at an angle to each other, forming a ledge for placement of the user's feet. Four planar side surfaces are perpendicular to the floor when the foot rest is placed on the floor. The bottom of the foot rest is a seventh planar surface.

The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows  
     
         1 . A foot rest having first and second planar upper surfaces at an angle to each other, four planar side surfaces, and one planar bottom surface.  
     
     
         2 . A foot rest as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein said first and second planar upper surfaces are at an angle of between 90 degrees and 120 degrees to each other.  
     
     
         3 . A foot rest as claimed in  claim 2 , wherein the ratio of the width of the first planar upper surface to the width of the second planar upper surface is approximately 3:1.  
     
     
         4 . A foot rest as claimed in  claim 3 , made from a flexible foam material.  
     
     
         5 . A foot rest as claimed in  claim 3 , fabricated from inflatable vinyl material, or other inflatable sheet material.  
     
     
         6 . A foot rest having an inclined upper surface upon which a user's feet may be rested, and a ridge upstanding from said upper surface, upon which the heels of said user's feet may be rested, to prevent said user's feet from sliding off said foot rest.  
     
     
         7 . A foot rest as claimed in  claim 6  wherein said upper surface is inclined at an angle of from 15 to 45 degrees from the horizontal, toward the user of the foot rest.  
     
     
         8 . A foot rest as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the upper surface is angled at an angle of from 20 to 30 degrees from the horizontal, toward the user.  
     
     
         9 . A foot rest as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the upper surface is angled at an angle of from about 26 degrees from the horizontal, toward the user.  
     
     
         10 . A foot rest as claimed in  claim 8 , made from a flexible foam material.  
     
     
         11 . A foot rest as claimed in  claim 9 , made from a flexible foam material.  
     
     
         12 . A foot rest as claimed in  claim 9 , made from inflatable vinyl, or other inflatable sheet material.
