    Abstract: An adjustable chair-armrest assembly includes a positioning plate attached to a chair seat, and a coupling seat having two side walls with inverted V-shaped top edges, and a bottom wall rotatably mounted over the plate by a vertical pivot pin. The plate has several equidistant positioning holes which are all spaced apart from the pivot pin at a predetermined distance. A ball is provided on the bottom wall and is biased to engage a selected one of the positioning holes so as to position the coupling seat on the plate. A tilting seat is pivoted on the coupling seat in such a manner that the tilting seat can swing on the coupling seat. An armrest member has a wrist receiving element attached to a front end portion thereof and is mounted movably on the tilting seat in such a manner that the armrest member can be moved forward and rearward on the tilting seat.
