ABSTRACT:
An arm rest device is disclosed in which a base plate, supported onto a bracket in a seat-back by means of link mechanisms, is mounted to an arm rest body in such a manner to be free to slide fore and aft and is also connected with a connecting pin of the arm rest body by means of a spring. If the arm rest body is pushed against the elastic forces of the spring, then such connection is removed and thus the arm rest body is free to move. Then, if the pressure is released, the connecting pin is caused to engage with a predetermined tooth groove in the base plate so that the angle of the arm rest body is adjusted. Thus, the inclining angle of the arm rest body can be adjusted by pushing it directly, which eliminates the provision for any knob, handle or the like.
Further, the arm rest body can be adjusted such that it always maintains its horizontal position even when the seat-back is inclined.
