Abstract

A system includes a pivotable armrest (1) and a pendulum element (18). The armrest (1) is pivotably hinged on a holding device (10) around a primary axis (11). The armrest (1) is connected rotatably fixed to a connection element (15). The holding device (10) includes the pendulum element (18). The pendulum element (18) is pivotable around a secondary axis (12). The connection element (15) and the pendulum element (18) are configured such that the pendulum element (18) is pivoted into a first position when a force is exerted on the system. The pendulum element (18) pivoted in the first position interlockingly interacts with the connection element (15) in such a way that a pivoting of the connection element along a second direction of rotation (32) is countered. The first direction of rotation (31) runs counter to the second direction of rotation (32).
