ABSTRACT:
The apparatus provides a locking mechanism for an armrest of an automobile or similar motor vehicle to a structural pin or post. The mechanism includes a cap with a lateral slit into which a button and spring are assembled. The spring outwardly biases the button which is limited in its outward travel by a detent arrangement which maintains the outer portion of the button flush with the cap. In this arrangement; the spring further engages a circumferential slot on the structural pin or post thereby locking the armrest to the structural pin or post. However, in order to remove the armrest from the structural pin or post, the user pushes the button inwardly, thereby compressing the spring and moving the spring out of the circumferential notch thereby unlocking the armrest from the structural pin or post and allowing the free removal thereof.
