Abstract

An adjustable arm rest for a vehicle in which the arm rest is supported for both vertical and angular adjustment by means of rack and pawl mechanisms. Adjustment is achieved by moving the arm rest upwardly in increments to selected positions. The arm rest can be returned to its initial lower position by first moving the arm rest to its full upper position after which it is free to return to its lowest position by way of release elements which permit or prevent operation of the rack and pawl mechanism.
