Abstract
An armrest mounted in a seat assembly includes an armrest mounting assembly. The mounting assembly supports the armrest and is adapted to provide rotation of the armrest between a stowed and use position. The mounting assembly includes a bracket supporting a mounting plate having a stop rod rotation channel, a pivot rod installation aperture, a retention tab, and a pivot cradle. The pivot rod has an end portion shaped to engage the mounting plate. The armrest mounting assembly provides an efficient securing mechanism for a pivoting armrest.
