  • Patent number: 9308843
    Abstract: An adjustment apparatus for swinging a comfort element in relation to a load-bearing structure about a pivot axis from a normal position to a pivoted position includes a locking device having a centrifugal force pendulum, a spring element, and a locking pin movable in opposition to a spring force of the spring element in parallel relationship to the pivot axis from a locked position in which the centrifugal force pendulum acts on the locking pin to seek engagement to a released position. The locking pin interacts with the comfort element in such a way that a pivoting of the comfort element from the normal position causes the locking pin to disengage from the locked position.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7878567
    Abstract: A center console for a motor vehicle has a basic body between the front seats with an upwardly open storage compartment over which a support part having an armrest which is displaceable with respect thereto is arranged. The armrest is displaceable from a pushed-back position between the front seats in the direction of the dashboard into a front position, wherein the support part is mounted pivotably on the basic body. The locking mechanism is provided with an actuating element via which, by an different actuation, a pivoting movement of the armrest together with the support part and a displacement movement of the armrest relative to the support part can be released. The locking mechanism is configured such that it permits a pivoting movement of the armrest together with the support part exclusively if the armrest is in its completely pushed-back position.
