An armrest apparatus for vehicles includes a body that is combined with a mounting area provided on a side surface of an interior of a vehicle to be slidably movable and on which a passenger rests an arm. A movement guide of the apparatus protrudes from the body and is inserted into a mounting groove provided in the mounting area to guide movement of the body along the mounting groove. A mounting unit is provided in the mounting area and supports the body and fixes a position of the body withdrawn from the mounting area through sliding movement.

An armrest may include an armrest module, a sliding knob to be rotated by a manipulating force provided thereon, a hook knob facilitating rotation of the sliding knob to be converted into rotation for releasing console locking force for binding the armrest module, and a multi-link at which sloping angle rotation is generated by the rotation of the sliding knob and then converted into rotation for releasing slide locking force for binding sliding movement of the armrest module.

A bidirectional sliding armrest includes: an armrest cover located at an upper portion of a console body provided in a vehicle body so as to be spaced apart therefrom; a power transmission unit fastened to a lower portion of the armrest cover and configured to move to correspond to operation of the armrest cover; a console fixing unit located on the console body and configured to include a plurality of fixing recesses; and a locking unit located on a lower surface of the armrest cover. The locking unit is fixed to the plurality of fixing recesses, and configured to fix the lengthwise position of the armrest cover.

An equipment part with a base and at least one pivot device, which is pivotable about a pivot axis relative to the base, with a drive device with which the pivot device is pivotable between a first position and a second position. The pivot device includes a base part and an extension part, wherein the extension part is guided movably relative to the base part in a translatory manner between a primary position and a secondary position. Associated with the base is a first support surface that engages with a second support surface, which is associated with the extension part, and rolls on this during the pivoting movement between the first position and the second position, wherein the extension part moves between the primary and the secondary position.

Provided is an armrest device that can be positioned in an appropriate position suitable for the build of the vehicle occupant. The armrest device comprises an interior member provided on an inboard side of a vehicle door, and an armrest main body supported by the interior member so as to be moveable between an initial position and a projecting position more inboard and forward than the initial position.

An armrest has a base, a sliding part movable translationally relative to the base between a first end position and a second end position, and first and second guides on base. One of the guides has a first bearing and a second bearing at least one of which is pivotal in a respective bearing seat. The other guide has a first guide bar and a second guide bar spaced apart in a movement direction and movable jointly in the movement direction relative to the respective first and second bearings. The first guide bar extends in a straight line along a first longitudinal axis and the second guide bar in a straight line along a second longitudinal axis. The first longitudinal axis and/or the second longitudinal axis extends at an angle to a straight line extending through a center of the first bearing and a center of the second bearing.

A rest device for a vehicle, including a support and an element that adjustable relative to the support. In addition, a drive unit including a drive motor is provided, which can be activated for the motor-driven adjusting of the element relative to the support, the drive unit being designed such that the element can be adjusted relative to the support both manually and using a motor.

A vehicle control device is mounted on an adjustable armrest assembly coupled to a frame of a vehicle. The longitudinal position of the vehicle control device and an armrest may be adjusted by rotating the armrest upward towards a vertical position, sliding the armrest forward or rearward relative to the base and into the desired position, and then rotating the armrest downward toward the horizontal position.

A reversible seat assembly for use with an airplane. The reversible seat comprises a base assembly and a vertical assembly. The base assembly and the vertical assembly are connected to a support structure and are collectively disposable into and out of a first travel position, a second travel position, and a third travel position. In the first and second travel positions a user or passenger may assume a usual sitting position. In the third travel position the user may assume a reverse sitting position. The base assembly comprises a right segment and a left segment connected and rotationally movable to a central segment. The vertical assembly comprises a lower segment and an upper segment connected to and rotationally movable a middle segment. The reversible seat assembly may further comprise a back armrest connected to an opposite side of said middle segment and structure to provide support to the arms of the user.

A handrail member is in a deployed state and at a so-called usable position when a tip portion of the handrail member is arranged between a sliding door and a lateral portion of a vehicle. Moreover, by making the handrail member usable, a passenger can place his or her hand on the handrail member when getting on or off the vehicle. As a result, it is possible to help the passenger get on/off the vehicle. In this manner, by turning the handrail member along a vehicle width direction around a bolt, the handrail member can be deployed and stored with a simple configuration.
