US Patent 11890978 Pop up arm rest

Various implementations include an arm rest system. The system includes a housing, one or more actuators, and an arm cushion. The actuators are at least partially disposed within a cavity of the housing. Each of the actuators includes a cylinder defining an opening, a piston slidably disposed within the cylinder opening, and a piston rod having a first end coupled to the piston and a second end opposite and spaced apart from the first end. Each of the actuators is movable between a first position and a second position. One of the cylinder or the piston rod of each of the actuators is static with respect to the housing and the other is coupled to the arm cushion such that moving the actuators between the first and second positions moves the arm cushion relative to the housing.
