ABSTRACT:
An armrest assembly comprising a bin defining a storage compartment and a cover hinged to the bin for movement between open and closed positions. A shaft rotatably supports the cover on the bin for pivotal movement of the cover relative to the bin. A helical torsion spring is coiled about the shaft and has one end reacting with the bin and the other end reacting with the cover for continuously urging the cover to the open position. A detent, having at least one caming surface, is disposed on the shaft for engaging the bin and is rotatable with the cover for retaining the cover in at least one detent position. The detent is located between the bin and the spring. Accordingly, the spring continuously biases the detent axially against the bin and also continuously biases the cover to the open position.
