Embodiment Construction

[0023] In the figures, identical parts are always designated by the same reference numerals and will therefore only be named or mentioned once in each case.

[0024] figure 1 Embodiments of the pivotable armrest 1 relating to the invention are shown in four figures. An armrest 1 of the described type is preferably integrated into a backrest 2 of a vehicle seat, in particular into a backrest 2 of a rear seat of a vehicle. Here, the armrest 1 is reversibly shiftable between a storage position and a use position. In the use position, an occupant 100 of the vehicle is able to support his or her arms on the armrest. Specifically, the armrest is wrapped with pads so that the passenger 100 can place his or her back against the first pad side of the armrest 1 in the storage position and can support his or her arms on the first pad side of the armrest 1 in the use position. Second pad side up. It is also conceivable that the armrest 1 has a storage compartment 7 which is accessible...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a system comprising a pivotable armrest (1) and a pendulum element (18), wherein the armrest (1) is pivotably hinged on a holding means (10) around a primary axis (11), wherein the armrest (1) is connected rotatably fixed to a connection element (15) and the holding means (10) comprises the pendulum element (18), wherein the pendulum element (18) is pivotable around a secondary axis (12), the connection element (15) and the pendulum element (18) being configured such that the pendulum element (18) is pivoted into a first position when a force is exerted on the system, wherein the pendulum element (18) pivoted in the first position interlockingly interacts with the connection element (15) in such a way that a pivoting of the connection element along a second direction of rotation (32) is countered, wherein the first direction of rotation (31) runs counter to the second direction of rotation (32).

Description

Background technique [0001] The present invention relates to pivotable armrests. Pivotable armrests are known from the prior art and can usually be found on vehicle seats, preferably on their backrests. Specifically, the pivotable armrest can be transferred to a space-saving storage position when not currently in use. Typically, the backrest comprises a recess into which the pivotable armrest can be partially pushed for storage purposes. In the use position, the armrest not only acts as a support for the arms, but also further enhances passenger comfort by means of additional storage areas or easy-to-reach control elements. [0002] A disadvantage of the pivotable armrests from the prior art is that, in the event of an accident or during severe braking of the motor vehicle, there can be disturbances which cause the pivotable armrest to pivot in an uncontrollable manner out of its stored position. force, thereby increasing the risk of injury to passengers.
