ABSTRACT:
An armrest lock is provided for a motor vehicle armrest that is pivotally connected in a motor vehicle through a linkage to permit pivotal movement of the armrest between a raised position and a lowered position. The armrest lock includes a cam pin extending from the linkage. A lock plate is pivotally mounted on the vehicle and includes a cam slot formed therein with first and second slot portions for receiving the cam pin. A spring pivotally biases the lock plate with respect to the vehicle. The lock plate is sufficiently weighted to effect pivotal movement against the spring bias as a result of its own inertia in a sudden deceleration to allow the cam pin to enter the first slot portion to engage the armrest lock to prevent further pivotal movement of the armrest.
