A vehicle input-operation assistance device includes: a traveling state detection section that detects a traveling state of a vehicle; an operation state detection section that detects an operation state of an operation member gripped by an occupant during operation; a support section that is capable of being stowed in an interior component of the vehicle, and that is capable of projecting from the interior component to a support position where the support section is capable of supporting an elbow of the occupant when the occupant is operating the operation member; and a controller that determines whether or not the elbow of the occupant operating the operation member needs to be supported based on information detected by the traveling state detection section and the operation state detection section and, in cases in which support is determined to be needed, controls the support section to project to the support position.

This invention relates to computer technology, and more particularly to input devices, and can be used in computer games, for controlling objects in spaces simulated on an electronic computer, and is intended to provide more reliable and accurate control of a motion system by means of a device, comprising buttons, and a body having a pivot with a stem which is rigidly connected to an operator's seat by an arm with clamps. The body is rigidly connected to a control element in the form of an H-shaped frame with clamps and with curved supporting surfaces for the forearms of the operator, said control element being capable of movement by virtue of the pivot, the rigidity of movement of which can be adjusted with the aid of a regulator, disposed inside the body; buttons, pivoting buttons, multi-contact buttons and rollers are situated on the front parts of the control element, opposite one another along the side edges of said front parts.

An armrest includes an upper support section having one or more ventilation and drainage apertures that couple an upper surface of the upper support section to a lower portion of the armrest to facilitate airflow and drainage between the upper surface of the upper support section and the lower portion of the armrest. The armrest also includes one or more control implements and an arm pad removably coupled to the upper support section. The arm pad includes one or more pad apertures formed therein that communicate with the ventilation and drainage apertures to allow ventilation and drainage between an upper surface of the arm pad and the lower portion of the armrest.
