Abstract (en)
The invention relates to an armrest for a seat, comprising a support for connecting to a frame of the seat and a supporting part which is connected movably thereto and which is slidable in two directions and pivotable about at least one axis, wherein the sliding movement and the pivoting movement can be performed independently of each other. The supporting part or the support comprises a protrusion which is received movably in a recess in the support or the supporting part, wherein the dimensions of the recess in the two sliding directions are greater than those of the protrusion received therein, and wherein the bounding means are formed by a peripheral edge of the recess. The invention also relates to an armrest of which the supporting part is relatively soft, for instance in that it takes a hollow form. The supporting part can herein be formed from two segments formed by injection moulding and connected by an injection moulded edge, of which the segment directed outward during use is softer than the other segment. <IMAGE>
