ARMREST

The invention relates to an armrest () with a base () and an arm support () pivotable relative to the base () between a first end position and a second end position, with a drive mechanism () for pivoting the arm support () between the first end position and the second end position. The special feature consists in that the drive mechanism () comprises at least a first formation () of a first element that is connected to the arm support () and a second formation () of a second element that is fixed relative to the base (), and that a coupling body () engages in the first formation () and in the second formation () and is movable along the first formation () and the second formation (), wherein a longitudinal centerline of the first formation () and a longitudinal centerline of the second formation () form an angle (α) in at least one region of a movement path of the coupling body ().
