Abstract: An armrest employed with a vehicle seat assembly that includes a storage compartment in the armrest that is accessible by moving a storage cover relative to the armrest.

Abstract: An armrest assembly includes an armrest body. A first shaft extends from a first side of the armrest body along an armrest axis and is attached to the armrest body for relative rotational movement about the armrest axis. A second shaft extends from a second side of the armrest body along the armrest axis and is attached to the armrest body for relative rotational movement about the armrest axis and relative axial movement.

Abstract: An armrest assembly includes an armrest body that defines an interior space. A first shaft extends from a first side of the armrest body along an armrest axis and is attached to the armrest body for relative rotational movement about the armrest axis. A second shaft extends from a second side of the armrest body along the armrest axis and is attached to the armrest body for relative rotational movement about the armrest axis. A rotational damper is located in the interior space of the armrest body and includes a first damper part and a second damper part attached to the first damper part for relative rotational movement. The first damper part is fixed to the first shaft, and the second damper part is fixed to the armrest body.

Abstract: An armrest assembly for a vehicle seat includes an armrest body and a first shaft that extends from a first side of the armrest body along an armrest axis and is attached to the armrest body for relative rotational movement about the armrest axis. The armrest assembly also includes a second shaft that extends from a second side of the armrest body along the armrest axis and is attached to the armrest body for relative rotational movement about the armrest axis. A detent body is fixed on the first shaft and includes a first detent and a second a second detent. A stop is fixed on the armrest body. The stop is retained in the first detent when the armrest body is in a first position relative to the first shaft. The stop is retained in the second detent when the armrest body is in a second position relative to the first shaft.

Abstract: A operation knob device (10) for an armrest, that is configured to unlock the armrest and moves the armrest to a useable state, includes: a knob min body (30) having an operation knob (32); and an inner case (50) disposed around the knob main body (30) and configured to expose the operation knob (32) from a first opening (55). The inner case (50) includes a plurality of case protrusions (60) that protrude from a lower region (54a) of a lower edge of the first opening (55) toward the knob main body (30). The knob main body (30) includes a plurality of main body protrusions (40) that protrude toward the lower region (54a) of the inner case (50). The plurality of case protrusions (60) and the plurality of main body protrusions (40) are alternately disposed when viewed in a +Z direction.
