  • Publication number: 20030234554
    Abstract: An armrest assembly has a support, an at least partially elastomeric mounting block having one side operatively secured to the support and another side, a fixed hinge plate operatively secured to the other side of the mounting block, and a movable hinge plate pivotal on the fixed hinge plate about an axis. A latch between the plates can angularly lock the plates relative to each other. An armrest is secured to the movable hinge plate so that, when the plates are locked by the latch means, angular displacement of the armrest relative to the support deforms the block.
