ABSTRACT:
An adjustable arm rest and console assembly is disclosed wherein the angular attitude or pitch, as well as the height, of the arm rest portion of the assembly are adjustable independently of one another in order to maximize user comfort. The mechanism for adjusting the angular attitude of the arm rest portion of the assembly, and for holding the arm rest portion in a preselected pivotally adjusted position, preferably includes a ratchet sub-assembly and a trip element for allowing selective incremental pivotal movement of the arm rest portion and for selectively releasing the ratchet sub-assembly, respectively. The mechanism for maintaining an adjusted height position includes a plurality of openings in one of a fixed or a movable support portion for the arm rest structure, with each of the openings corresponding to a preselected height position and being adapted for receiving a holding member movable into or out of such openings in order to maintain or release the arm rest structure and allow adjustment to a preselected elevational position.
