December 8, 2016
An adjustable vehicle armrest and tambour door is disclosed. A vehicle armrest is designed to allow for sliding movement between a retracted position and an extended position to adjust armrest length as desired by the vehicle occupant. A tambour door is disposed over at least part of the armrest and may be moved forward and backward to allow access to storage within the armrest or a support structure. The armrest is supported by sliding structures (e.g. engaged rails, et.) and the tambour door is supported by tracks (fixed or stationary). The tambour door may be fully supported as it moves forward and backward regardless of the retracted position or extended position of the armrest.
