ARMREST EXHIBITING MULTIPLE STACKED AND FIXED SECTORS IN ALIGNMENT WITH RETRACTABLE PAWLS AND EXHIBITING OFFSET ENGAGING TEETH FOR ENSURING INCREMENTAL PIVOTAL ADJUSTABILITY

摘要

An incrementally adjustable armrest associated with a seatback having an armrest supported in pivotal fashion to a frame location of the seatback. At least one sector is fixed to the seatback frame and supports a pivotal location associated with the armrest. A plurality of teeth are located along a circumferential edge extending location of the sector corresponding to a range of adjustment associated with the armrest. A plurality of pawls are arranged in a stacked relationship and are pivotally secured to the armrest at a location such that additional teeth associated with the pawls are biased in an engaging direction against the sector. A teethed pattern associated with a selected pawl individually seats within a circumferential location associated with the sector teeth.
