Abstract (en)
[origin: EP1695643A2] An armrest is provided comprising an elbow stay (1) provided on which the arm of a person seated is placed, an armrest support (2) provided for supporting the elbow stay (1) so that the elbow stay (1) can be turned horizontally, and a snap engagement mechanism provided between the elbow stay (1) and the armrest support (2) for snapping and stopping the elbow stay (1) at a desired angle to the armrest support (2). The snap engagement mechanism includes a stationary member (3) having a plurality of snap engagement recesses (31k) provided in the outer side (31b) thereof and a movable member (4) having an engaging latch (41k) provided thereon for elastically engaging with the snap engagement recesses (31k) in a sequence as turning together with the elbow stay (1). The stationary member (3) is mounted to the armrest support (2) while the movable member (4) is mounted to the elbow stay (1). Accordingly, the armrest provided with the snap engagement mechanism allows the elbow stay (1) to be turned in relation to the armrest support (2) without being interrupted by the snap engagement mechanism while its turning movement is favorably determined to a desired angular range.
