Abstract
An armrest for a motor vehicle, in particular a motor-vehicle side door armrest. In its general structure, the armrest has a stationary base part and a supporting part that is movable relative thereto, and additionally has a motor-driven adjusting device for the supporting part. The adjusting device comprises an electric motor and an eccentric that can be acted upon by the motor. The electric motor is configured as a component of a linear actuator connected to the eccentric.
Claims17
An armrest for a motor vehicle, the armrest comprising:
- a stationary base part
- a supporting part that is movable relative to the stationary base part;
- a motor-driven adjusting device for the supporting part, the adjusting device comprising an electric motor and an eccentric that is acted upon by the motor, wherein the electric motor is configured as a component of a linear actuator connected to the eccentric, wherein linear movement of the linear actuator is translated to rotational movement of the eccentric;
- and
- an adjusting lever connected between the eccentric and the supporting part for translating the rotational movement of the eccentric to a lifting movement of the supporting part that occurs subsequently to an initial range of rotation of the eccentric.
