Abstract
A removable arm rest apparatus for use in a truck cab utilizes an upright tubing structure and a flat arm support member projecting normally outward therefrom. Compressive mounting means enclosed within the uppermost end of the tubing structure position the tubing structure firmly between the cab roof and cab floor. A washer encircling the tubing structure positions the arm support member at the desired location. Movement of the washer along the longitudinal axis of the tubing structure adjusts the height of the arm support member relative to the cab floor. The apparatus may be easily removed and disassembled for storage and subsequent use in another truck cab.
