Abstract

Armrests of a vehicle seat include vertical brackets having legs located in vertical guide slots defined by support structure. A cam plate is rotatably mounted between the brackets for movement between a lock position, wherein it establishes a tight frictional engagement between opposed surfaces of the legs and guide slots, and a release position wherein it permits the legs to move freely in the slots.
