  • Patent number: 6427956
    Abstract: An armrest for a motor vehicle seat that can be attached by a bearing device and is pivotable about a pivot axis between two latching locations of a bearing device that delimit the pivoting range. A stop that moves with the armrest is associated with these latching locations. The bearing device has two assembled parts and has a flexible sliding element that brakes the pivoting movement of the armrest and latches the end positions of the armrest. The flexible sliding element is integrated in one piece into one part of the bearing device, and this one part consists of a one-piece molded plastic part.
