flat half panels that form cutout areas 16 and 26 are shown these cutout areas not visible form the view of fig4 are where the footrests 12 and 22 rest when in retracted position footrests 12 and 22 essentially comprise sections of tubular pipe that have been sliced horizontally in half then cut out from the main section of pipe and filled in to form a flat surface on the cut face cutout areas 16 and 26 are filled in the same manner to form flat surfaces thus when footrests 12 and 22 are retracted they are pivoted 90 u00b0 to align with the main section of pipe except for seams the resulting pipe looks essentially as if no footrests were attached fig6 shows in cutaway detail a section of the right side leg of the present invention with retractable footrest extended viewed from the side from this view it can be seen that footrest 12 is shaped in the form of a half circle with a flat edge and a semicircular edge footrest 22 not shown in this figure has the same shape this allows the footrests to fit snugly within cutout areas 16 and 26 fig8 shows in cutaway detail a section of the right side leg of the present invention with retractable footrest retracted in stowed position from a perspective view this demonstrates the snug fit.
