Abstract
An armrest assembly may include a base member, an armrest member, a mechanism and a biasing member. The armrest member may be linearly movable relative to the base member between a first position and a second position. The mechanism may be associated with the armrest member and may be movable between an engaged configuration restricting linear movement of the armrest member relative to the base member and a disengaged configuration allowing linear movement of the armrest member relative to the base member. The biasing member may bias the armrest member in a linear direction from the second position toward the first position.

An armrest assembly comprising:
- a base member;
- an armrest member linearly movable relative to the base member between a first position and a second position;
- a mechanism associated with the armrest member and movable between an engaged configuration restricting linear movement of the armrest member relative to the base member and a disengaged configuration allowing linear movement of the armrest member relative to the base member;
- and
- a first biasing member biasing the armrest member in a linear direction from the second position toward the first position.
A console assembly comprising:
- a storage bin;
- a base member mounted to the storage bin for movement relative thereto between an open position and a closed position;
- an armrest member mounted to the base member and movable with the base member relative to the storage bin and between the open and closed positions, the armrest member being movable relative to the base member between a first position and a second position;
- an engagement lever mounted for rotation relative to the armrest member between a locked position and an unlocked position and movement with the armrest member relative to the base member between the first and second positions;
- and
- a biasing assembly biasing the armrest member toward the first position.
