Abstract
The armrest assembly includes a locking device for restricting an armrest when the armrest assumes a locking posture, thereby limiting rotation of the armrest. The locking device includes a lock shaft fixed on the center of rotation of the armrest and a lock provided at the armrest so as to be movable in a locking direction approaching the lock shaft and an unlocking direction away from the lock shaft in accordance with operation of the knob. A locking section including a recess into which a lock tooth is inserted when the armrest is in the locking posture and an unlocking section extending from the locking section are formed along the periphery of the lock shaft, and the unlocking section includes an unlocking surface that contacts a tooth end to maintain the lock in the state of being moved in the unlocking direction.
