A console mounted armrest includes an adjustable post to raise and lower the armrest, and a linkage. The linkage defines the tilt of the armrest with respect to the post. A single control mechanism controls the motion of the post, and thereby also controls the tilt of the armrest to maintain a desirable orientation with respect to the sidestick. The control mechanism defines multiple positive lock-out positions with respect to the post such that the control mechanism will always engage one of the positive lock-out positions.

Provided is an apparatus for adjusting a position of an armrest having a control panel for a vehicle, the apparatus in which an armrest assembly having a control panel is mounted on a side member of a seat cushion in a manner that is enabled to ascend and descend and in which the control panel is mounted on an armrest assembly in such a manner that a position in the backward-forward direction and a slope of the control panel are adjustable. With the apparatus, an armrest, a controller, and the like can be easily adjusted to desired positions and heights thereof according to an occupant's physical condition.

An aircraft armrest may incorporate a rail roller linkage. The roller linkage may include an armrest plate, a rail attached to an aircraft seat assembly, a top roller link, and a bottom roller link. The top roller link may have a threaded upper adjustment cylinder, a pivot joint, and a pair of grooved rollers diagonally disposed on either side of the pivot. The bottom roller link may have an unthreaded lower adjustment cylinder, a pivot joint, and a pair of grooved rollers diagonally disposed on either side of the pivot. The grooved rollers may mesh with the rail. The roller linkage may include a roller adjustment screw, having a threaded portion, and extending through both of the adjustment cylinders. A compression spring may bias the roller link around the rail and may be disposed between the top roller link and the bottom roller link and surrounding the roller adjustment screw.

A control armrest containment structure includes a seat assembly positioned at an end of a seat in a vehicle and an armrest assembly fastened to the seat assembly. The armrest assembly includes a fixed unit fixed to an end of the seat assembly, a movable assembly fastened to an end of the fixed unit and configured to move up and down along the fixed unit, and a rotary unit fastened to an end of the movable unit and configured to rotate with vertical movement of the movable unit.

An aircraft seat system is disclosed, in accordance with one or more embodiments of the present disclosure. In one embodiment, the aircraft seat system includes a seat casement; a headrest portion; a seat back portion; a seat pan; and one or more armrests pivotably coupled to one or more portions of the seat casement. In another embodiment, the one or more armrests include an armrest body; a rotator link system; and a pivot link system. In another embodiment, the pivot link system may be configured to pivotably extend the armrest cap and pivotably retract the armrest cap.

The armrest comprises an arm support that is vertically adjustable by an adjuster that is held on the vehicle frame. The adjustment takes place here independently of a storage compartment. In this way, the vertical position of the armrest can be adapted to the size of the occupants of the seat. The adjuster can be operated with a manual drive or electrically as an alternative, for example. The adjuster has a guide fixed to the vehicle frame and a slide that carries the arm support and that is vertically shiftable on the guide.

An armrest (1) for a motor vehicle has a vehicle-side support (3). An armrest element (5) is arranged on an upper side of the support (3) and is designed to be adjustable relative to the support (3) The armrest (1) has a further functional element arranged on the upper side of the support (3) at a distance from the armrest element (5) and is designed to be adjustable relative to the support (3).

To provide a vehicle seat with a function of reducing fatigue regardless of the physique of the seated person, a vehicle seat includes: an ischial tuberosity support device that is driven to change a position of a part of a seat cushion corresponding to ischial tuberosities of a seated person; a sacrum/ilium support device that is driven to change a position of a part of a seat back corresponding to the sacrum and ilia of the seated person; a ninth thoracic vertebra support device that is driven to change a position of a part of the seat back corresponding to a ninth thoracic vertebra of the seated person; and a control device, wherein the control device sequentially executes: an information acquisition step of acquiring physique information of the seated person; a decision step of deciding parameters regarding a driving amount of each of the ischial tuberosity support device, the sacrum/ilium support device, and the ninth thoracic vertebra support device based on the acquired physique information; and an output step of driving the ischial tuberosity support device, the sacrum/ilium support device, and the ninth thoracic vertebra support device based on the corresponding parameters.

An armrest for a vehicle includes an armrest element and a floating support assembly configured for selectively pivoting the armrest element in a vehicle-fore and -aft motion. The floating support assembly includes at least one vertically translatable support arm pivotally attached to the armrest element. The at least one vertically translatable support arm may be operatively supported by a resilient member.

A vehicle console has a rotatable portion with opposite sides that are different distances from a rotational axis. Rotation by 180 degrees from a first position to a second position changes the vertical position of a beam portion of the console. One side can have a particular look or functionality, and the opposite side can have a different look or functionality thereby giving users more choices while occupying the vehicle cabin.
