Longitudinal extension mechanism of armrest
First Claim
1. A longitudinal extension mechanism of an armrest comprising:
- a main body of an armrest;
a fixed hinge shaft being non-rotatably fixed to a bracket and serving as a rotation axis of the armrest main body;
an armrest extension provided at an end of the armrest main body so as to straightly move in the longitudinal direction of the armrest main body; and
length extending means for allowing the armrest extension to straightly move with respect to the arm rest main body by means of rotation of the armrest main body about the fixed hinge shaft.

Abstract
There is provided a longitudinal extension mechanism of an armrest that includes a main body of an armrest, a fixed hinge shaft being non-rotatably fixed to a bracket and serving as a rotation axis of the armrest main body, an armrest extension provided at an end of the armrest main body so as to straightly move in the longitudinal direction of the armrest main body, and length extending means for allowing the armrest extension to straightly move with respect to the arm rest main body by means of rotation of the armrest main body about the fixed hinge shaft. Therefore, when the armrest rotates to a horizontal posture, the armrest extension automatically protrudes by a certain length and the total length of the armrest is increased, thereby maximizing the convenience to a user. In addition, when the armrest rotates to a vertical posture, the total length of the armrest is decreased, thereby improving a reception ability and appearance.

6. A longitudinal extension mechanism of an armrest comprising:
-
a fixed hinge shaft being non-rotatably fixed to a bracket that is configured to be coupled to a seat back;
an main body having a longitudinal axis between opposing first and second ends, where said first end is rotatably coupled to said fixed hinge shaft;
an armrest extension provided at said second end of said main body and configured to move along said longitudinal axis; and
a length extender that causes the armrest extension to move away from said fixed hinge shaft when said main body is rotated into a horizontal position. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10)
