Abstract
The invention relates to a seat for a transport vehicle or craft, the seat including a support structure () and at least one armrest () comprising a rest element () mounted on one end of a strut whose other end is hinged to the support structure about a first pivot () to tilt between an in-use position in which the rest element is substantially horizontal and a forwardly-tilted retracted position in which the rest element is substantially vertical and in front of the seat. The strut is L-shaped with a first arm () hinged at its free end about the first pivot and extending substantially rearwards from the first pivot when the strut is in the in-use position, and a second arm () extending substantially upwards when the strut is in the in-use position, and the rest element is hinged to the free end of the second arm of the strut about a second transverse axis ().
