An adjustable armrest assembly

摘要

An armrest assembly for a chair (2) having armrests (10a,b) arranged on laterally opposite sides of a seat (4). A collective actuation and support member (14) is configured for connection to each arm rest and is movably supported by bearing means (19) that are connected to the chair. The bearing means are arranged such that the armrests are movable by translational motion between a forward position (F) and a rear position (R). The collective actuation and support member (14) is arranged transversely below the seat and provides a rigid connection between the armrests (10a,b), whereby one armrest (10a) is movable by operation of the other armrest (10b) and vice versa.
