Abstract

In a seat particularly suitable for automobiles and comprising a backrest and seating member, an armrest assembly at the side of the seat comprises an armrest hinged to a supporting lever therefor. The supporting lever is pivotably mounted for movement between a first position where it and the armrest extend alongside the seating member and a second position where it and the armrest extend alongside the backrest. The supporting lever can be propped in an intermediate position at which the armrest is supported in a position of use at a suitable elevation above the seating member.
