Abstract

An armrest has a base, an arm support pivotal on the base about a pivot axis in opposite pivot directions between a first position and a second position, and a latch for locking the arm support pivotally relative to the base in at least one pivot position. The latch has a movable first formation and an immovable second formation that can be releasably engaged with the first formation. The first formation is movable between a locked position and a released position and is urged by a spring or the like into the locked position. The armrest is mounted on a seat, for example, and in particular a vehicle seat.
