ADJUSTABLE VEHICLE ARMREST ASSEMBLY HAVING A TAMBOUR DOOR

摘要

A vehicle armrest assembly includes a support structure (16) and a shroud (32) pivotally coupled to the support structure about a pivot joint (38). The vehicle armrest assembly also includes an armrest (22) slidingly supported by the shroud. The armrest is configured to slide between a retracted position and an extended position relative to the shroud, and the shroud facilitates rotation of the armrest between a raised position and a lowered position relative to the support structure about a pivot joint (38). In addition, the vehicle armrest assembly includes a tambour door (20) slidingly disposed on the armrest. The tambour door is configured to slide between an opened position and a closed position relative to the armrest while the armrest is in the retracted position, the extended position, or a position therebetween, and while the armrest is in the raised position, the lowered position, or a position therebetween.
