A vehicle armrest includes an armrest base. The armrest base includes a pivot axle that extends along a pivot axis. The armrest base also includes a release mechanism that includes a pair of latch extensions supported on the armrest base for relative movement along a latch axis that is substantially parallel to the pivot axis. A latch spring biases the latch extensions apart from each other. A release handle is mounted on the armrest base for relative movement in a handle release direction. A pinion is mounted on the armrest base for relative rotational movement. Movement of the release handle in the release direction causes rotation of the pinion relative to the armrest base. And rotation of the pinion relative to the armrest base causes the latch extensions to move along the latch axis toward one another.

A vehicle seat having a supporting structure, having a seat surface and having a back rest, and having at least one arm rest arrangement which is held on the supporting structure. The arm rest arrangement includes a fixation unit which is capable of being attached to a complementary accommodating unit of the supporting structure or detached from the accommodating unit without a tool.

A child safety seat includes a seat body, an armrest, and an actuating mechanism. The seat body includes a seat base. The armrest has a first engaging portion. The actuating mechanism is disposed on the seat body. The actuating mechanism has an actuating portion and a second engaging portion. The actuating portion is exposed from the seat body. The second engaging portion is engaged with the first engaging portion when the armrest is disposed on the seat base. The second engaging portion is disengaged from the first engaging portion when the actuating portion is actuated to move the actuating mechanism, such that the armrest is able to be detached from the seat base.

An armrest assembly for a seat in a modified OEM vehicle. The armrest assembly includes an armrest support having a grommet and a detent pin, wherein the grommet includes a grommet aperture. An armrest includes an armrest aperture and a pin aperture; wherein the armrest aperture is configured to receive the grommet and the pin aperture is configured to receive the detent pin. A quick release connector extends through the grommet aperture and the armrest aperture, wherein the quick release connector includes an actuator to release the armrest from the armrest support. Engagement of the detent pin with the pin aperture prevents rotation of the armrest with respect to the armrest support.

Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to a convertible child seat configured to be operable between a deployed orientation as a child seat to be secured to a vehicle and a folded orientation as a child supply bag. According to various embodiments, the child seat comprises a seat portion configured for receiving the bottom of a child, a backrest portion pivotally attached to an end of the seat portion or otherwise attached to the seat portion in a manner that permits selective rotation of both portions relative to one another, and configured for supporting the back of the child, and a plurality of pockets secured to the seat portion. In certain embodiments, the backrest portion includes one or more pockets.

An armrest including a top portion and a bottom portion; and wherein the top portion is substantially rectangular shaped and has a top surface and a bottom surface; and wherein the bottom portion is substantially triangular shaped having a base which abuts and is connected to the bottom surface of the top portion, and a vertex substantially opposite the base. The top portion may include padding. The top portion is preferably elongated and has a length and a width; wherein the length of the top portion is approximately the length of a base of a seat of an automobile, and the width of the top portion is not more than half of the length of the top portion. A method is provided which includes placing such an armrest between an inside of a door of a car and a seat of the car.

An interchangeable operator interface system for a work vehicle has at least one controller, at least one operator interface device having a plurality of controls, and at least one interface device docking arrangement. The docking arrangement removably mounts different interface devices to alternatively physically connect them to the work vehicle and operatively couple them to the controller. Different operator interface devices have at least one common control that operates in a different mode of operation and/or in a different physical layout on the associated operator interface device. The controller is configured to effect an associated common change in state of an associated component of the work vehicle upon receiving a control input from the different common controls.
