embodiment one

[0014]Refer to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the positioning member 30 is connection type. The positioning member 30a (30) includes a T-shaped main body 31 but not limited. It can also be I-shaped. One end of the main body 31 is pivotally connected to one side of the middle part of the armrest pad 10 while the other end thereof is pivotally connected to one side of the armrest support 20. By the positioning member 30a (30), the armrest pad 10 is pivotally moved outward and inward in relation to the armrest support 20. The armrest pad 10 can also rotate in relation to the positioning member 30a (30).

[0015]Refer to FIG. 2, a first pivot part 311 is disposed on one end of the main body 31 while a second pivot part 312 is arranged at the other end of the main body 31. A pivot part 113 is disposed on one side of the middle part 11 of the armrest pad 10 and the pivot part 113 is pivotally connected to the first pivot part 311 of the main body 31. One side of the armrest support 20 is also arranged w...

embodiment two

[0017]Refer to FIG. 4, a positioning member 30b (30) can be separate type and having two male fasteners 32 and two female fasteners 33 fastened to each other correspondingly. The two male fasteners 32 are respectively arranged at a front end and a rear end of the armrest support 20 (from the user's point of view), or at a right side and left side (not shown in figure) of the armrest support 20. As to the two female fasteners 33, they are respectively disposed on a front end and a rear end of the middle part 11 of the armrest pad 10, or at a right side and left side (not shown in figure) of the middle part 11 of the armrest pad 10. By the male fasteners 32 and the female fasteners 33 fastened or released, the armrest pad 10 and the armrest support 20 are assembled with or separated from each other. Moreover, the positions of the male fasteners 32 and the female fasteners 33 can be interchanged. The two male fasteners 32 are disposed on the middle part 11 of the armrest pad 10 (not sh...

embodiment three

[0019]Refer to FIG. 5, a positioning member 30c (30) can be separate type and having two sliding rails 34 and two corresponding sliding slots 35. Each sliding rail 34 is sliding in the sliding slot 35 correspondingly. The two sliding rails 34 are respectively arranged at a left side and a right side of the middle part 11 of the armrest pad 10 (from the user's point of view) while the two sliding slots 35 are respectively disposed on two inner sides (right and left sides) of the armrest support 20. Thereby the armrest pad 10 is moved outward and inward in relation to the armrest support 20. Furthermore, the positions of the two sliding rails 34 and two sliding slots 35 can be interchanged. That means the two sliding rails 34 set on the armrest support 20 (not shown in figure) and the two sliding slots 35 installed at the middle part 11 of the armrest pad 10 (not shown in figure).

[0020]For example, as indicated by an arrow E, the armrest pad 10 is moved out from a top surface of the a...

Abstract

A multi-surface armrest is revealed. The multi-surface armrest includes an armrest pad disposed on a top surface of an armrest support. A lower part of the armrest support is connected to a chair seat. The armrest pad consists of a middle part and a plurality of armrest surfaces arranged around an outer surface of the middle part. At least one positioning member is disposed between the armrest pad and the armrest support. The armrest pad is positioned at, assembled with or separated from the armrest support. While the armrest pad and the armrest support are separated, the armrest pad is rotated or moved so as to select one of the armrest surfaces to place arms.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to an armrest, especially to an armrest that includes an armrest pad disposed with a plurality of armrest surfaces. The position of the armrest pad is changed so as to select one of the armrest surfaces for resting users' arms.[0002]For user's comfort, generally chairs are designed with armrests respectively on two sides thereof to rest a forearm or an elbow. There are various designs of the armrests, including height adjustment mechanisms or changes in shape. However, a color, pattern or material of an outer surface of an armrest pad (soft pad in contact with arms) is generally fixed. Take synthetic leather as an example. Foam with specific color and material is set into a mold and a layer of leather is formed on surface during foam molding processes. Thus the color or pattern of the synthetic leather has been determined before molding, and unable to be changed after being molded. This is unable to satisfy respective re...
