<p>There is provided an arm rest assembly for a chair or the like, including an arm rest member and a support member which are pivoted together. The arm rest member has a top surface and the support member terminates below the top surface and is pivoted thereto at a location slightly rearwardly of the forward end. These members define an angle which changes as the chair is adjusted, and the arm rest member includes stop means forwardly of the support member and below the top surface, the stop means being adapted to come into contact with the support member when the angle enlarges to a predetermined size less than 180.degree.. This prevents the arm rest and support members from reaching a "dead centre" position, and avoids risk that the user's fingers will be come trapped between the support member and the forward end of the arm rest member.</p> |
