A motor vehicle seat having an armrest

摘要

An armrest 50 is disclosed for a passenger occupying a rear seat 20 that is rotatably attached to a backrest 12 of a front seat 10. The armrest 50 is rotatably connected to a support frame 13 of the backrest so as to be rotatable between a substantially horizontally disposed in-use position and a stowed position in which it lies against a rear face of the backrest. The rear seat is laterally offset from the front seat. Stop means may be provided to limit movement of the armrest. The stop may be automatically adjusted so as to compensate for movement of the backrest.
