ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an armrest support assembly. More particularly, the present invention relates to an armrest support assembly which has an elevator seat and an armrest support frame disposed on the elevator seat.
Referring to FIG,
1
, an armrest
10
is disposed on a conventional elevator seat
20
. However, the contacting area between the armrest
10
and the conventional elevator seat
20
is very small so that the armrest
10
is easily detached from the conventional elevator seat
20
after a long period of usage. Furthermore, it is difficult to place the armrest
10
at a precise position on the conventional elevator seat
20
without any deviation of position.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
An object of the present invention is to provide an armrest support assembly which has an armrest support frame disposed on the elevator seat in order to support an armrest stably.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an armrest support assembly which has an armrest support frame having a stepped slot in order to receive an elevator seat so that the armrest support assembly can be assembled easily.
Another object of the present invention is to provide an armrest support assembly which has an armrest support frame having a bottom portion engaging with a positioning plate to position an elevator seat so that a moment of force on an armrest can be reduced.
Accordingly, an armrest support assembly comprises an armrest support frame and an elevator seat. The armrest support frame has an inner groove formed in a top portion of the armrest support frame and, a stepped slot formed on a bottom portion of the armrest support frame. A positioning plate is fasten to the bottom portion of the armrest support frame. The elevator seat passes through the stepped slot of the armrest support frame between the bottom portion of the armrest support frame and the position plate. A top end of the elevator seat is inserted in the inner groove of the armrest support frame.
