Folding armrest for motor vehicle e.g. minivan, has elastic unit that passes support unit from deployed position to retracted position under effect of lateral force on support unit that is mounted pivoting around shaft

摘要

The armrest has a support unit (20) mounted pivoting around a shaft (18) between deployed and retracted positions when a sliding door is closed and opened, respectively. An elastic unit (42) passes the support unit from the deployed position to the retracted position under the effect of a lateral force on the support unit. The unit (42) permits to integrate and disintegrated the support unit with the shaft.
