Abstract
A combination seat and armrest comprised of a support structure, which may be in the form of a container having an open top and bottom, and two cushion members which are pivotally connected to the support structure. Each cushion member may be pivoted between a generally flat position in which the second cushion member overlies the first and a generally upright position in which a storage compartment defined on the sides by the support structure may be accessed by front seated vehicle occupants. Several alternate embodiments are included which provide for additional storage or functional features, such as beverage container holders.
