Abstract
An adjustable chair-armrest assembly includes an chair-armrest assembly includes an elongated positioning plate attached to a chair seat, an elongated coupling seat mounted pivotally on the positioning plate and rotatable about a vertical axis, and an elongated tilting seat mounted pivotally on the coupling seat and rotatable about a horizontal axis. An armrest member is mounted movably on the tilting seat and can be moved along the length of the tilting seat. An inclination adjusting device includes a slot element which is secured to the rear end portion of the coupling seat and which has several horizontal slots extending in a direction transverse to the coupling seat, and an engagement having an upper end portion pivoted to the rear end portion of the coupling seat, and a lower end with a projection projecting therefrom into a selected one of the slots of the slot element. A spring biases the projection to engage the selected one of the slots. A pusher member abuts on the engagement member so as to push the projection of the engagement member to engage the selected one of the slots and can be operated to remove from the engagement member so as to permit the front end of the armrest member to be turned upward and downward.
