A movable arm rest, the position of which is adjustable by a motor, and which can be used in particular between the two front seats of a motor vehicle. The arm rest comprises a movable component (1), the upper upholstered part (2) of which serves as a support for the user. By virtue of a motor which is fixed with respect to a support plate (5) disposed at the base of the movable component, the arm rest is displaced along inclined guide ramps which are fixed with respect to a fixed frame (4). The drive is provided by way of pinions (16) meshing with racks (47).
