Collapsible footrest assembly for a gliding ottoman

A collapsible footrest assembly for a gliding ottoman with a top structure gliding upon a base comprising:

• a slide arrangement having opposite front and rear ends between which a pair of parallel, elongated sides extend;
• mounting means for movably mounting the slide arrangement under the top structure of the gliding ottoman between upper and lower positions with respect to the top structure of the gliding ottoman wherein said mounting means comprises a pivot means for pivotally mounting the rear end of the slide arrangement under the top structure of the gliding ottoman, and wherein said slide arrangement extends substantially parallel with the top structure of the gliding ottoman in the upper position and is pivotally lowered about the rear end of the slide arrangement to a forwardly slanted position in the lower position;
• a footrest slidably and pivotally mounted between the slides for sliding operation between a slide-in poistion wherein the footrest extends and is supported between the slides and a slide-out position wherein the footrest is drawn out and pivoted down in front of the slides;
• hooking means for detachably locking the slide arrangement with the base when the slide arrangement is in the lower position wherein said hooking means comprises a magnet arrangement distributed between the front end of said slide arrangement and a corresponding hooking underside portion of the top structure extending over the front end of said slide arrangement, so that the front end of the slide arrangement magnetically hooks to the corresponding hooking underside portion of the top structure when the slide arrangement is in the upper position;
• and
• locking means for detachably locking the slide arrangement with the base when the slide arrangement is in the lower position.
