Abstract
An armrest frame (A) bends at a hinge groove (A), which serves as a weak portion, when an impact load is applied to the armrest frame (A) in an armrest () following a side impact with another vehicle. As a result, the armrest () is allowed to move toward the inside, in the vehicle width direction, during a side impact with another vehicle, thus ensuring the movement of a seated individual toward the inside, in the vehicle width direction. The vehicle armrest () also provides the same sense of stability as an armrest as a conventional armrest during normal use at times other than when there is a side impact with another vehicle.
