An armrest assembly includes an armrest body. A first shaft extends from a first side of the armrest body along an armrest axis and is attached to the armrest body for relative rotational movement about the armrest axis. A second shaft extends from a second side of the armrest body along the armrest axis and is attached to the armrest body for relative rotational movement about the armrest axis and relative axial movement.

Armrest assembly with adjustable mounting shaft

An armrest assembly includes an armrest body that defines an interior space. A first shaft extends from a first side of the armrest body along an armrest axis and is attached to the armrest body for relative rotational movement about the armrest axis. A second shaft extends from a second side of the armrest body along the armrest axis and is attached to the armrest body for relative rotational movement about the armrest axis. A rotational damper is located in the interior space of the armrest body and includes a first damper part and a second damper part attached to the first damper part for relative rotational movement. The first damper part is fixed to the first shaft, and the second damper part is fixed to the armrest body.

Armrest assembly with internal motion damper

An armrest assembly includes an armrest and a lid mounted on the armrest for relative rotational movement between a closed and open positions. The lid includes a handle cradle with handle guides on opposed sides and an intermediate inner guide. A handle is located in the handle cradle for relative movement between a latch position and a release position. The handle includes a latch. The latch retains the lid in the closed position when the handle is in the latch position. The handle includes a clip that engages a slot on the lid to retain the handle in the handle cradle. The handle also includes guide channels on opposed sides. The guide channels engage the handle guides. The handle includes an intermediate inner guide space. The inner guide space engages the inner guide. The armrest assembly also includes a spring that biases the handle into the latch position.
