Patent attributes
Arm-rest, adjustable in inclination, in particular for vehicles, comprising: —a fixed part 2, intended to be connected to the frame of the vehicle; —a movable part 3, hinged to the fixed part 2 around a rotation axis X by —hinging means 10, 43, 53 to move between a lowered angular position and a raised angular position; and —a system for adjusting the inclination of the movable part 3 between the aforesaid lowered position and the aforesaid raised position. The invention is characterized by the fact that the system for adjusting comprises at least one freewheeling bearing 20, chosen from the rolling-contact or cam type, associated to the hinging means 10, 43, 53 so as to allow the movable part 3 to rotate around the axis X only in the direction of rotation which from the lowered position leads to the raised position. The system for adjusting also comprises releasing means which act on the hinging means 10 and are able to liberate the rotation, of the movable part 3 from the raised position to the lowered position.
