System (200) is provided for a chair with removable armrests. The system (200) includes a chair back (220) connected to a rectangular chair seat (210) with chair feet (230) and two handrails (240). The handrails (240) are connected to the chair back (220) and the rectangular chair seat (210). The chair seat (210) further comprises a chair frame (260), a seat cushion (270) and two side wall clothes (250), wherein each side wall cloth (250) is configured to optionally secure the side wall cloth (250) to a respective handrail (240). The side wall cloth (250) can secure itself to a handrail (240) through an internal adhesive on an internal side of the side wall cloth (250) and an external adhesive of an external side of the side wall cloth (250). The side wall cloth (250) can optionally be secured to the handrail (240) by wrapping around the handrail (240) and connecting the internal and external adhesives.

An armrest has a base, an arm support pivotal on the base about a pivot axis in opposite pivot directions between a first position and a second position, and a latch for locking the arm support pivotally relative to the base in at least one pivot position. The latch has a movable first formation and an immovable second formation that can be releasably engaged with the first formation. The first formation is movable between a locked position and a released position and is urged by a spring or the like into the locked position. The armrest is mounted on a seat, for example, and in particular a vehicle seat.

A ratcheting armrest assembly includes an articulating frame assembly. Also included is a ratchet anchor operatively coupled to the articulating frame assembly for rotation with the articulating frame assembly. Further included is an anchor assembly operatively coupled to the articulating frame assembly. Yet further included is a ratchet operatively coupled to the anchor assembly. The ratchet includes a first plurality of teeth and the ratchet anchor including a second plurality of teeth, wherein the first plurality of teeth and the second plurality of teeth are engageable with each other, the second plurality of teeth free to rotate relative to the first plurality of teeth in a first rotational direction and self-locking with the first plurality of teeth in a second rotational direction. Also included is a directional spring biasing the ratchet in the second direction in a first orientation and in the first direction in a second orientation.

A height-adjustable armrest for a chair, in particular an office chair, has an arm support, which is retained by an armrest holder. The armrest holder is pivotable and a pivoting causes the armrest to be adjusted in height. An arresting device fixes the armrest holder in a height position. The arresting device is arranged at the upper, alterable-height end of the armrest holder and has a linearly movable latching element. The latching element is connected via a guide element to the armrest holder such that each pivoting movement of the armrest holder induces a linear movement of the latching element.
