Abstract

An armrest has a base element, an arm-support element movable in a direction on the base element between a pair of end positions, a mount fixed on one of the elements and formed with a throughgoing hole extending in the direction, and a rod fixed on the other of the elements and extending along an axis with play through the hole of the mount. A pair of inelastic slide-bearing rings fixed in the hole at ends thereof loosely surrounds the rod. A respective elastic bearing block fixed in and relative to each of the rings presses the rod radially against a diametrally opposite inner-surface portion of the respective ring.
