Abstract
An armrest adjustment mechanism for use with a vehicle seat defining a lateral seat axis and an armrest member defining a longitudinal axis. The mechanism includes a mounting system for pivotally mounting the armrest member on the vehicle seat for selective pivotal rotation about the lateral seat axis between a deployed design configuration, wherein the longitudinal axis has a substantially horizontal orientation, and a raised stowed configuration, wherein the longitudinal axis has a substantially vertical orientation. The mechanism also includes a lateral translation system for positive inward displacement of the armrest member along the lateral seat axis relative to the vehicle seat as the armrest member is rotated from the deployed design configuration towards the raised stowed configuration.
