Abstract
An armrest apparatus includes an armrest arranged on one lateral side of a driver seat. A height adjustment mechanism adjusts a height of the armrest relative to the driver seat. A flip-up mechanism swingably supports the armrest about a swing shaft center oriented in a lateral direction relative to the driver seat, whereby the armrest can be flipped up from a use position to a non-use position. The armrest apparatus also allows for height adjustment based on the physique of a driver and has an armrest that is movable to a position unlikely to interfere with boarding and unboarding.
