Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of seating technology, and in particular to a rotatable armrest and seat for use in seating. Background Technology
[0002] Seat armrests are components installed on both sides of a seat. When a user sits in the seat, their arms can rest naturally on the armrests, providing support and reducing arm fatigue. Especially when sitting for long periods, seat armrests can make the user's body more comfortable. Depending on the different user needs, armrests can be divided into massage armrests, heated armrests, and swivel armrests, etc.
[0003] For example, Chinese Patent No. CN106667114B discloses a rotatable and retractable handrail, including a handrail fixing frame, a handrail support frame and a handrail frame respectively hinged at both ends of the handrail fixing frame, and a handrail frame disposed between the handrail support frame and the handrail frame. The handrail support frame and the handrail frame are connected by a plug-in method, and the plug-in unit of the handrail support frame and the handrail frame is used for rotatably retracting the handrail support frame and the handrail frame by means of a separate plug-in structure.
[0004] In large conference settings, meeting rooms are equipped with a large number of seats. However, the primary purpose of conference seats is to meet the seating needs of users. When users choose to use water cups to hold hot water, since there is no specially designed area for placing water cups on the seats, users have to place the water cups around the seats. This can easily lead to the water cups being accidentally kicked over, causing the meeting to be interrupted and thus negatively affecting the user's experience during the meeting.
