Abstract:
1. An armrest arrangement in a seat back, wherein said seat back has one side adapted to support a passenger's upper body portion and another side opposite to said one side, comprising: a recessed storage portion formed in said one side of said seat back, said recessed storage portion being adapted for allowing said armrest to be stored therein; an armrest rotatably mounted at a base end portion thereof in said recessed storage portion so as to be rotatively replaceable between a storage position where the armrest is stored in the recessed storage portion when in no use and a use position where the armrest is located away from said recessed storage position for use purpose; an elastic means for resiliently biasing said armrest in a direction to said storage portion, said elastic means being connected at one end thereof with said base end portion of said armrest and connected at another end thereof with said another side of said seat back; and a means for covering said elastic means to thereby prevent the elastic means from being viewed from said storage portion when said armrest is located in said use position, said means being provided in said recessed storage portion and disposed between said base end portion of said armrest and said another side of said seat back so as to overlie said elastic means.
