A handle-integrated hanger includes a grab handle, a garment hanger pivotably coupled to the grab handle at a first end, and a rotational brake that prevents over-rotation of the garment hanger.

Handle-integrated hanger

A deployable armrest writing assembly comprises an armrest, a writing surface, and a bridging segment. The bridging segment is connected to the writing surface. The bridging segment is pivotable with respect to the armrest and the writing surface so as to pivot the writing surface 180&#xb0; from a storage configuration to a deployed configuration over a top surface of the armrest.

Deployable and retractable writing surface

An armrest unit is disclosed that is selectively moveable between a first configuration, whereby the armrest is used as a traditional armrest, and a second configuration whereby the armrest is usable as a writing surface. The armrest unit comprises an armrest and a mounting pin. The armrest has a first section constructed of a compressible material and a second section connected to one side of the first section and constructed of a non-compressible material. The mounting pin engages a mounting channel in the armrest. The armrest is selectively rotatable about the mounting pin to move the armrest 180&#xb0; between the first configuration and the second configuration. A method of operating the armrest unit is also disclosed.
