An armrest () for use with a vehicle seat (), comprising a unit () for supporting an arm of an operator of the vehicle seated in the seat, a first fixing element () connected to the armrest unit () and a second fixing element () can be fastened to the seat () on the vehicle. The first and the second fixing element can be adjusted and locked in relation to one another by means of a device () for adjusting the position of the armrest unit () in relation to the seat when using the armrest. When using the armrest, the adjusting and locking device (), which links the first fixing element () and the second fixing element () in at least two different positions, can be used to set the armrest unit () to different positions by moving the armrest unit () in a direction having a component in the horizontal plane, aligned so that the position of the armrest unit () is laterally variable in relation to the seat ().

Armrest for use with a vehicle seat

A slide rail arrangement for a vehicle seat, includes an elongated guide rail, intended to be fixed relative to a vehicle floor, and a slide rail, which has an upside down U-profile and spans over the guide rail. The slide rail is provided at its ends with screws to be screwed securely to a seat frame. Between the rails there are roller bodies disposed in grooves in the rails. Upside-down U-shaped reinforcing clamps span over the slide rail in the area of the screws to prevent bending out of the U-profile of the slide rail under heavy load.
