  • Patent number: 5931536
    Abstract: An improved adjustable armrest for use on a chair is particularly related to an adjustable armrest in connection to a pneumatically operated cylinder permitting the armrest body to be vertically lifted up by actuation of a control stick or lowered down by a manual force against the armrest body. An armrest mount having tracks defined thereon for mounting of the armrest body permits the armrest to be slidably adjusted back and forth. The armrest mount with the armrest body is secured to a housing having a vertical hole for receiving the cylinder having one end engaged with the underside of a bottom bracket which is secured to the armrest mount. The cylinder housed in a tubular sleeve is fixed at the bottom end thereof to a support bracket and is engaged with a hand operated stick at the top end so that the actuation of the control stick results in the extension of the cylinder and the armrest body accordingly.
