An armrest apparatus including an arm, which is fitted to a drum provided on a seat side member, and a coil spring, which is provided on the drum, wherein one end of the spring is fixed to the arm-rest member and another end of the spring, a free end, is curved outwardly in the direction away from the center axis of the drum, and this coil spring is loosely wound around the drum so as to tighten when the arm-rest member is rotated downward, and further a coil end receiving surface that receives the curved part of the coil spring is provided in the drum. When the arm-rest member is rotated downward and reaches a predetermined set angle, the coil end receiving surface receives the curved part of the coil spring, so that the coil spring tightens the drum by a downward load applied to the arm, restricting the downward rotation of the arm.
