Where are springs on a foot rest for a recliner?

Springs on a footrest for a recliner are typically located within the mechanism that supports the footrest's movement. They may be found either under the footrest itself or within the reclining mechanism, providing tension and allowing for smooth operation when extending or retracting the footrest. In some designs, they can also be integrated into the frame or attached to the reclining lever. These springs help maintain the footrest's position and ensure it returns smoothly to its upright position.
