Abstract
A deployable armrest writing assembly comprises an armrest, a writing surface, and a bridging segment. The bridging segment is connected to the writing surface. The bridging segment is pivotable with respect to the armrest and the writing surface so as to pivot the writing surface 180° from a storage configuration to a deployed configuration over a top surface of the armrest.
Claims20
A deployable armrest writing assembly, comprising:
- an armrest;
- a writing surface;
- and
- a bridging segment connecting the writing surface to the armrest;
- wherein the bridging segment is pivotable with respect to the armrest and the writing surface is pivotable with respect to the bridging segment such that the bridging segment and the writing surface are configured to deploy from a storage configuration under the armrest to a deployed configuration in which the bridging segment is adjacent to a side of the armrest and the writing surface is over the armrest and rotated 180° relative to the storage configuration.

A deployable armrest writing assembly, comprising:
- an armrest;
- a writing surface;
- and
- a bridging segment and a sliding member,
- wherein the sliding member is mounted to the armrest for selective sliding movement with respect to the armrest,
- wherein the bridging segment is hingedly connected to the sliding member, and
- wherein the bridging segment is pivotable with respect to the sliding member and the writing surface is pivotable with respect to the bridging segment such that the bridging segment and the writing surface are configured to deploy from a storage configuration under the armrest to a deployed configuration in which the bridging segment is adjacent to a side of the armrest and the writing surface is over of the armrest and rotated 180° relative to the storage configuration.
